168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is chock-full of pop culture references, and while you're not exactly missing out on anything if you don't catch them, it does feel pretty neat if you do. The more abstract or obscure, the better - even if only for bragging rights. Some are pretty obvious (especially if you're literally in the Land of a Thousand Fables - what else do you expect?), but some need a person well-versed in the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen bibliographies to figure them o♏ut.
While many modern pop culture Easter eggs can be found throughout the main game, all (twisted, in the true spirit of The Witcher) fairy tale references are found during a single quest, Beyond Hill and Dale, in the Blood and Wine expansion.
5 1. Three Little Pigs ♕
Compared to most of the fairy tales found in the Land of a Thousand Fables, this one is pr🍨etty tame. Remember the three little pigs, who built their homes out of various, ill-thought-out materials, only for the big bad wolf to come and blow down both the st🐼raw house and the stick house? We all know it ends with the wolf unable to blow down the brick house. But in the hurry to finish the house before the wolf comes a-blowin', the piggies didn't exactly follow proper procedures. You can disabuse them of any notion of security by using Aard on the house.
4 🤡 ♏ 2. The Boy Who Cried Wolf
As irritating as this compulsive liar is, you need him to help you advance the quest by telling you where to find the beans (also a nod to Jack and the Beanstalk). Except he got his comeuppance now, and he's surrounded by actual wolves that you have to kill to get to🎃 the little brat, not that he'll show any gratitude. Anyway, whatever he tells you, just do the literal opposite, and you're set.
3 ♈ 3. Rapunze♔l
It's not easy, being locked up in a tall tower, waiting for a prince to rescue you. And that waiting can get pretty hard after a while. When you're climbing the tall tower that dominates this map, you even find the corpse of the hero who was trying to rescue Rapunzel, or Longlocks as she's known here - after all, her one defining feature in all versions of the story is her extremely long hair. And this is where The Witcher 3 fairy tale references turn from funny to dark: when you enter the top room in her tower, you find her꧒ hanging dead by a no♓ose made of her own hair, and her wraith will attack you.
2 ꧋ 4. Little Red ꧒Riding Hood
When you're explicitly told by your mother not to stray off the path in the woods, why would you trust a talking beast instead? But had Little Red Riding Hood done as she was supposed to, we wouldn't have a story to tell. And in the game's universe, the story gets told over and over again, until the Big Bad Wolf can't take it anymore, and chucks poor Little Red Riding Hood into the well, killing her. Turns out, he needs to reenact it again (for you to advance y🎐our quest), so jump down the well and take her cape, which will lead to a boss fight against the beast.
1 🅷 5. The Littඣle Match Girl
This character is based on the heartbreaking short story by Hans Christian Andersen, in which a poor girl is forced by her cruel father to sell matches barefoot in the snow. She freezes to death after a series of comforting visions. But in the true style of the game, she combines a disturbing twist with dark humor — she is very much alive and supposedly selling flint. Turns out, flint isn't exactly going for a good price these days, so she had to expand her inventory... and get a vocabulary to match. What you will come across is a rude little girl who calls you "sugarplum" and sells drugs. You either di🌄e a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. That's just what society does to you.
