The Witcher 3has found itself in the spotlight recently, over eight years after its initial release. The popularity of the Netflix adaptation and the release of the next-gen upgrade has given the game a new lease of life, as well as the announcement that the original game will be remade from scratch in the coming years. The next-gen upgrade in particular reignited fan interest in the title, withhidden surprises for fans ofThe Witcher 3to discoverthat added even more replayability to one of the largest RPGs of all time.

In the clip, an enemy slyzard swoops down and launches a fireball at the player. The player uses the Aard sign to push the fireball away, avoiding all damage. The Aard sign is usually used to push away enemies during combat, but the fact that people are still finding new uses for it shows the depth ofThe Witcher 3’s brilliant combat. If players are still discovering new combat mechanics years on, it’s safe to assume there’s more hidden in the game that players have yet to find.
The post was well received byThe Witcher 3community, receiving over 2000 upvotes in the first few days after posting. While the trick might seem simple, most players were surprised that it is a thing they’re able to do in the game. Redditor IainEatWorlds took it a step further, asking “Now the question is, can we kill it with its own fireball?” Given thatThe Witcher 3is renowned for its incredible small details, it wouldn’t be surprising if killing the slyzard with its own fireball was possible, even if extremely difficult.
Last year, CD Projekt Red announced that its first post-Cyberpunk 2077project would beThe Witcher 4. It’s exciting news, as many feared the developer was done with the franchise afterThe Witcher 3. Details on the sequel are sparse to nonexistent with no release date currently offered, but it’s assumed that there’ll be at least a decade between games. It remains to be seen where CD Projekt Red will take the series next, but there was a finality toThe Witcher 3’s ending that allows for any possible direction to work.
The Witcher 3: Wild Huntis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
