Letho of Gulet: A Deep Dive into the Cunning Viper Witcher

letho in witcher 2 and 3

Unlike most of the characters in the Witcher universe, Letho of Gulet only appears in the Witcher games. A witcher from the School of the Viper, he’s the main antagonist of Witcher 2 and a minor character in Witcher 3. Letho is an underrated character liked by many for his complex motivations, formidable skills, and unique look.

In this article, we’ll delve deep into the complex character of Letho, exploring his rich lore and multifaceted significance as the Kingslayer. Tracing Letho’s journey through the Witcher games, we will unravel his motivations, alliances, and the intricate web of events that tie him to Geralt of Rivia.

Who is Letho of Gulet?

Letho in witcher 2, letho in witcher 3, why we want to see more of letho.

Letho: I have to kill you. Geralt: Try it. But I’m no king. Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Letho is a Witcher from the School of the Viper that only appears in the Witcher games. Despite his muscular appearance, Letho is highly cunning and intelligent. Like many Witchers, he was taken as a child, learned the art of monster slaying, and survived the Trial of the Grasses.

He is known as Letho of Gulet, with Gulet being the name of a town near Vengenberg in Aedirn, one of the Northern Kingdoms . So the assumption is that he’s from there, even though it’s never confirmed.

Letho is considered one of the most powerful Witchers in the games and one of the rare few to have defeated Geralt. From childhood until his training as a monster slayer, Letho resided in Gorthur Gvaed , a keep similar to Kaer Morhen. The place housed the School of the Viper and its disciples. When the Usurper ruled Nilfgaard, he demanded that the Witchers of Gorthur Gvaed bend to his will.

The Witchers refused, and the Nilfgaardian Army seized the keep, forcing the remaining few survivors from the School of the Viper to hide. Letho and two fellow Vipers, Serrit and Auckes, were among them.

A Witcher’s Debt

In the year 1270, in a forest in Angren, Letho was facing a Slyzard when the monster hit him with its tail, poisoning the Witcher. Letho was on the brink of death when Geralt appeared, saving his fellow Witcher and earning Letho’s favor in return. At the time, Geralt was chasing the Wild Hunt for the whereabouts of Yennefer. Letho, Serrit, and Auckes share the Wild Hunt’s location and ride with Geralt to face the wraiths.

The party finds the Wild Hunt in Nilfgaard, at the Hanged Man’s Tree. The Witchers stand their ground against the Wild Hunt but reach a stalemate. Finally, Geralt offers a trade, himself for Yennefer, and the Wild Hunt leader, Eredin , accepts.

Determined to repay his debt to Geralt, Letho takes Yennefer under his care. The sorceress, however, is bewildered, amnesic, and causing all sorts of problems for the Vipers. Her lack of discretion attracts the Nilfgardiaan secret police, and Letho’s group is caught and thrown into jail. However, Emhyr van Emreis makes an irresistible offer to Letho: kill Northern kings, and he will restore the Viper School. Letho accepts, setting up the events of the second Witcher game.

Kill as many rulers as we could. Lay the blame on the sorceresses. Breed chaos. Prepare the North, soften it before the invasion. And you know what’s incredible? We could not have imagined more fertile soil. No matter what the war’s outcome, the Northern Monarchs’ll accuse one another, pursue their god-given rights and be at each other’s throats for years to come. Letho, Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Letho is the central antagonist in Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. The game’s spectacular opening cinematic shows a ship under attack by the burly assassin. The Witcher freezes most of the crew with a Northen Wind bomb and takes advantage of the racket to behead King Demavend III of Aedirn, his first target.

Originally Letho was supposed to kill King Esterad Thyssen of Poviss and Kovir. But after a serendipitous encounter with Síle de Tansarville , one of the founding members of the Lodge of Sorceresses, he decided to alter his plans.

Using the sorceress as a smokescreen to hide his actual employer and motives, Letho agrees to her request to assassinate King Demavend III of Aedirn.

As Letho himself claims: “Initially, she watched my every move. But sooner or later, everyone starts treating me like a big oaf. I mean, I can’t change how I look.” This allowed Letho to continue with his deception.

After killing Demavend, Letho claims he’s trying to hide from the Aedirnian manhunt, and Síle points him to Iorveth , a leader of the Scoia’tael. With the head of the king as a trophy, Letho introduces himself to Iorveth and discloses his king-slaying mission. They form a temporary alliance.

Second Encounter with Geralt

The Kingslayer’s next target was King Foltest of Temeria. However, the monarch had hired Geralt as his bodyguard, who opposed Letho’s first attempt. Aware that Temeria would suffer a siege, Letho infiltrated the castle as a wounded monk and operated in the commotion to assassinate Foltest.

Geralt heard the king and ran to his chambers, only to find the ruler already dead. The White Wolf chases after Letho, and since he’s still suffering from amnesia after the Wild Hunt, he fails to recognize the old acquaintance. Letho manages to escape from Geralt with the help of the Scoia’tael. When the guards find the king, Geralt is the only one in his chambers, becoming the primary suspect and earning himself a prison cell.

After murdering Foltest, Letho tries to convince Ciaran aep Easnillen, one of Iorveth’s lieutenants, to betray his leader. The elf refuses, and Letho kills his entire squadron to hide his traces, leaving Ciaran to be captured by guards from Flotsam. Letho alleges that he betrayed Ioverth because the elf was hard to manipulate, dangerous, and would eventually be able to see through his true intentions.

In the meantime, Geralt is pursuing Letho to clear his name. The White Wolf asks Iorveth for assistance because Letho tried to betray the elf. The Scoia’tael help Geralt, but when they find Letho, the Blue Stripes attack Iorveth. The next scene portrays Letho vs. Geralt, and the Kingslayer overpowers the White Wolf.

witcher letho of gulet

Letho spares Geralt, paying him back for the time he saved his life. This fight is significant as one of the only times Geralt is defeated and has led many players to speculate whether Letho is stronger than Geralt.

If we’re talking about pure physical strength, the answer is likely yes, given Letho’s bulky, muscular frame. However, Geralt is likely faster and a better swordsman. Another key factor is that Geralt isn’t well-prepared for the fight and still suffers from amnesia, which means he hasn’t fully regained his skills.

In any case, Letho kidnaps Triss and forces the sorceress to teleport them to Aedirn. Once they arrive in Vergen, Letho lets go of Triss and rendezvous with his fellow Vipers Witchers, Serrit and Auckes, in a hideout.

As his attempt to overpower Iorveth fails, Letho assumes that the Scoia’tael know his treachery. In a preemptive attack, the Viper Witchers massacre the elves under Iorveth.

Letho then charges his fellow Viper school Witchers Serrit and Auckes with assassinating King Henselt of Kaedwen. Meanwhile, he attends the Summit at Loc Muinne , a diplomatic gathering of politicians, sorceresses, and other influential individuals from the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardian Empire.

Saving Triss or Not: Letho Consequences

  • If Geralt decides to rescue Triss at Loc Muinne, Letho doesn’t appear during the A Summit of the Mages cutscene.
  • If Geralt doesn’t rescue Triss and helps Roche save Anais, Letho saves the sorceress but is captured by guards. During the Summit of Mages, Letho was present but restrained and snitched on the Lodge of Sorceresses. He claimed that they had conspired with him to assassinate the kings. When the dragon Saesenthessis attacks, Letho manages to escape.

Letho knew Síle would throw him to the wolves, so he sabotages her megascope, turning it into a deadly trap. The player can save Síle or let her die due to Letho’s trickery.

Finally, Letho visits the Temerian Quarter and has a possible final encounter with Geralt, depending on the player’s decisions.

After chugging some vodka and chit-chatting, Geralt regains the rest of his memories. Finally, Letho lays all his cards on the table, divulging his days of caring for Yennefer, his capture by the Imperial secret police, and the mission assigned to him by the Nilfgaardian Emperor.

Spare or Kill Letho

To conclude the dialog, the player must choose to confront Letho or let him go:

  • If the player decides to fight Letho, you will ultimately kill him.
  • If the player decides to spare Letho, he leaves, and the game ends.

Should you kill Letho in Witcher 2? While the decision is yours, we prefer to keep him alive. This allows you to meet Letho again in Witcher 3 if you start the game by importing your Witcher 2 save or simulate a save and say that you spared him. We also like his character because he fought to protect his school and helped Geralt, Yennefer, and Triss, showing that he does adhere to some code of honor.

Letho has a minor role in Witcher 3, but will only appear based on your choices. If you load a save from Witcher 2 where you killed Letho, the man will not appear.

If you choose to simulate a Witcher 2 save, you will be asked several questions at the start of the game. The most important one is whether you killed or spared Letho. You can only do Letho’s sidequest if you spare him, which is our suggestion.

We don’t recommend skipping the save simulation, as the game will automatically make some decisions, including assuming that you killed Letho.

In case Letho does not appear in Witcher 3, albeit with the right choices, you may have to restart the game.

Letho Witcher 3 Quest: Ghosts of the Past

The most natural way to find Letho is during the sidequest The Fall of the House of Reardon, which takes you to a monster-infested manor. However, you can also stumble upon the location without taking the side quest . Letho’s location in Witcher 3 is in Reardon Manor in central Velen, to the north of the Orphans of Crookback Bog travel post.

Geralt notices that the environment is infested with traps and triggers the sidequest Ghosts of the Past. Geralt encounters Letho on a barn’s second floor, where the latter has already dealt with the monsters.

During their conversation, Letho informs Geralt that after escaping from Loc Muinne, Emhyr betrayed him and sent assassins and mercenaries after Letho. After dispatching some of the said mercenaries with the player’s help, Letho says he will hunt for Louis, who disclosed his location. The game will prompt the player with two choices:

  • Love to see that: this one allows us to continue Letho’s sidequest, which we recommend.
  • Good luck : you bid farewell to the Viper, and he’s never seen again. You can’t retake the sidequest if you pick this one.

Geralt follows Letho to Louis, who leads them to a bounty hunter called Vester. Next, Letho asks to go alone into the barn where Vester is and orders Geralt not to interfere. Letho attracts Vester and his pals but ends up losing the fight. Geralt runs towards him, and two more choices pop up:

  • You’re good as dead: you fight the remaining survivors and kill them, but Letho isn’t too happy about it.
  • Don’t want trouble: Geralt doesn’t fight the men but persuades them to take Letho’s medallion to prove his death rather than the head. That’s the best, narratively speaking, choice.

Both alternatives lead to the same outcome. Geralt notices that Letho isn’t dead but forged his death with Zanguebarian venom. However, he needed witnesses to back up his end and finally be rid of his pursuers. If Geralt kills everyone, Letho’s plan goes down in shambles. Still, this doesn’t make a difference, as you will still have two additional options:

  • You could go to Kaer Morhen: Geralt invites Letho to the fortress. At first, the Viper is hesitant, but he accepts. Later on, he helps fight the Wild Hunt in the invasion.
  • You’ll find a place to hide: and so Letho does. He goes away, never to be seen again.

If Letho goes to Kaer Morhen, there will be a few different dialogues just before the battle against the Wild Hunt. Most Witchers are unhappy with your decision to bring Letho there but brush it aside.

witcher letho of gulet

Like many Witcher fans, we appreciate Letho for his depth and complexity. For one, he’s a formidable opponent to Geralt. However, not only his prowess in combat draws players in, but also his captivating backstory and conflicted motivations.

Letho’s loyalty to his fellow witchers and his desire to restore the Viper School gives him a sympathetic angle that encourages players to view him as more than a simple villain.

Throughout the game, Letho challenges Geralt’s perceptions and forces players to confront moral ambiguities. This blend of intrigue, complexity, and combat skill makes Letho an unforgettable character that continues to captivate Witcher fans. We sincerely hope CDPR brings him back somehow, ideally with a game from his perspective.

Who is Eredin? Wild Hunt’s Leader Explained

Letho doesn’t appear in the Witcher books or Netflix show. That’s high praise for the writers at CD Projekt Red, as they managed to create an entirely new character beloved by many. Many players have expressed interest in playing a Witcher game from Letho’s perspective or at least having him appear in future games.

If you want Letho to help during the Battle of Kaer Morhen, you must complete his side quest “Ghosts of the Past” and invite him to the keep.

Letho, the Kingslayer, kills kings as part of his deal with Emhyr var Emreis, the Emperor of Nilfgaard. In return for his services, Emhyr promises to rebuild the School of the Viper, where Letho trained as a witcher. Letho’s primary goal is to secure a future for his fellow Viper witchers by restoring their school.

A fan theory suggests Letho’s muscular build might be due to a genetic mutation affecting myostatin, a protein that inhibits muscle growth. The witcher mutations could have impacted his myostatin levels, causing increased muscle mass. However, this is purely speculative without evidence from the Witcher games or their creators.

Not everyone hates Letho, although some characters, including Eskel and Lambert , have fair reasons to dislike him, like his manipulative actions, role in destabilizing the North and helping Nilfgaard, and regicide.

Letho’s moral alignment is not clear-cut. As a complex character, he can be seen as both a villain and an anti-hero. For example, even though he kills kings and inadvertently frames Geralt, he also has a noble goal (restoring his Witcher school) and helps Geralt and other characters. Players’ opinions on Letho may also vary based on their in-game choices and interpretations of his motivations.

Murillo Zerbinatto

Murillo loves three things: RPG games, fantasy books, and Henry Cavill. So it doesn’t come as a surprise why he immersed himself in the Witcher universe. After bulldozing the novels and getting a platinum trophy in the Witcher 3, he eagerly awaits the next game installment to further expand the saga.

Letho of Gulet , also known as the Kingslayer , is a witcher from the School of the Viper . His closest associates are Auckes and Serrit , also Kingslayers from the same witcher school. For reasons which were initially unknown, he enlisted the help of Iorveth and his Scoia'tael guerrillas to aid him in his plan to kill the kings of the Northern Kingdoms. To back his claim, the man showed Iorveth a head he claims belonged to Demavend , King of Aedirn and Sovereign of the Pontar valley .

Letho is first seen in the Prologue, where he is revealed to be King Foltest's killer. In a later cutscene, he appears to have just killed King Demavend of Aedirn and comes to Iorveth's hideout seeking Scoia'tael assistance in killing Foltest.

In Chapter I, Letho attempts to betray Iorveth by trying to turn one of his lieutenants against him. However, the elf refuses and Letho kills his entire group, leaving the elf to be captured by Flotsam's guards. Geralt later brings Iorveth to Letho as a ruse to expose the latter's treachery. However, Iorveth and his Scoia'tael are attacked by the Blue Stripes, leaving Geralt and Letho to battle each other. Letho prevails in the battle with Geralt but once the witcher is down, he does not kill him. Letho explains that Geralt once saved his life, so with this small mercy they are now 'even' and leaves to kidnap Triss and force her to teleport them to Aedirn.

Geralt later learns that Letho is a Witcher of the Viper School . Geralt had first encountered him in the forests of Angren on July 25, 1270, while chasing the Wild Hunt in search of Yennefer. He had rescued Letho from death after the latter had been struck by a slyzard 's tail. Letho works with two other witchers of the Viper School, Auckes and Serrit , who are the ones who attempt to assassinate King Henselt in Chapter II.

Geralt meets Letho for the final time in the Epilogue, right after the fight with Saesenthessis. The kingslayer waits for Geralt in the centre of the ruins by the Temerian Quarter. Geralt may ask about his intentions, the Wild Hunt, Yennefer and/or other major events. Geralt must then choose to either let Letho go or fight him to the death. Depending on the outcome of that choice, Letho will ultimately either leave or be killed by Geralt in their duel.

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [ | ]

If Letho was not killed at Loc Muinne in the previous game, he can be found in No Man's Land in Velen , hiding at the Reardon Manor . When Geralt talks to him, he will reveal that after Loc Muine, Emperor Emhyr has decided to clean up loose ends - including himself. Despite his work for Nilfgaard, hired assassins have been hounding the Viper witcher ever since his last meeting with Geralt. Reardon family holdings were supposed to be a fool-proof hideout - until Louis , an associate who provided him with the hideout, betrayed Letho.

Geralt can choose to aid Letho in dealing with the bounty hunters and interrogating Louis. This inevitably leads to a showdown with the latter (and his men), though they are hardly a challenge for two veteran witchers. After the slaughter ends, Louis reveals that he sold Letho out to Nilfgaard's bounty hunter, Arnout Vester , in return for half the bounty and immunity from prosecution.

Confronting the Nilfgaardian, Letho asks Geralt not to intervene while he deals with them. He comes up, intimidates them, and gets shot in the arm for his trouble. The giant doesn't let that slow him down - he slaughters the bounty hunter's band until only he and two others are left. Then, he collapses due to the poison's effects. At this juncture, Geralt can intervene.

  • If Geralt intervenes , Arnout winds up chopped into pieces. He drags Letho away and waits for him to come to. When he does, Letho reveals that it was all a gambit: He paid off the crossbowman to shoot him with a poisoned bolt, so that he would enter a lethargic state and appear dead. That would cause news that Letho of Guleta is dead to spread, giving him peace. Letho decides that he has to disappear, but Geralt can invite him to Kaer Morhen , making him appear in the end game.
  • If Geralt doesn't , Letho's plan succeeds. Letho is dead - long live Letho!

How to Complete Letho’s NPC Questline in The Witcher 3

Image of Ishmael Romero

Letho of Gulet is no stranger to those who’ve played The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. He was the main antagonist and the cause of most (if not all) of Geralt’s troubles in that game. Here’s how to complete Letho’s NPC questline in The Witcher 3.

The Witcher 3 Letho NPC Questline Walkthrough

Keep in mind this quest is only available in certain circumstances. It entirely depends on how you finished The Witcher 2, or the decision you made when establishing your world state in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt  during your little interview at Vizima, Letho can be alive in your game.

If you did happen to choose to let Letho live even after all that he did in the last game, you will come across him during the sidequest ‘The Fall of the House of Reardon (picked up from Lindenvale).’ A woman will ask you to check out her old estate that has been overrun by monsters. Once Geralt arrives, he will find a barn full of booby traps that you can either disarm or choose to ignore. Head to the back of the barn and fix the ladder so that you can climb up and reveal Letho hiding from some enemies.

Ghost of the Past Walkthrough

From there, you can decide to help Letho with those looking for him, which you should in order to trigger the ‘Ghost of the Past’ questline and see how this all ends. Jump down and show off your sword skills in order to help an old friend, of sorts. After slaying the groups of scouts, you will have the opportunity to ride with Letho to the old acquaintance who sold him out. Go ahead and take care of that traitor as well.

Letho will now take you to his last destination and that is where this particular The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt questline splits and Geralt will have some decisions to make. Letho will face a bounty hunter, but before doing so he asks that you not interfere no matter what happens. He then goes into battle solo where he falls to a crossbow. This is when Geralt must make his first decision: does he kill those who have slain his friend, or does he not interfere?

It turns out that Letho had this whole thing planned and was trying to fake his own death. If Geralt chooses to kill the bounty hunters then there are no witnesses to spread the woven tale, setting Letho free once and for all. Don’t worry though, if you did happen to go into a rage, murdering everyone before you, you still have one more opportunity to help Letho in The Witcher 3: Wild hunt. After spoiling his plan (that he should’ve just clued you in on), you can offer him a place at Kaer Morhen where he can find safe refuge.

It’s awesome to stumble across him, and even cooler to have the option of lending him a helping hand despite all he’s done in the past. Of course, the decision is ultimately up to you.

So how did you feel when you stumbled across the Witcher who almost ruined your life? Hopefully, you enjoyed this Letho questline walkthrough for The Witcher 3 . Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments

Letho of Gulet, the witcher from the Viper School is one of the most prominent characters in The Witcher universe. Depending on how familiar you are with the world, including all the games and books, you may or may not know much about him.

Related:  The Witcher: 5 Things The Show Can Learn From The Games (& 5 Things It Can Do Better)

Those who only played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or watched the Netflix series will likely not know a lot about Letho's background. He has had a large role, playing both antihero, adversary, and even ally, to Geralt. His past is a complicated one and the following list reveals some intriguing facts you might not have known about the witcher.

10 It's Possible That Letho Won't Turn Up In The Game At All

For those who have never played a game in The Witcher universe before, you might miss out on your chance to meet Letho altogether.

If you killed Letho in The Witcher 2 and then import that save to The Witcher 3 , Letho will stay dead and not show up in the "The Fall of the House of Reardon" quest. The same goes for when you're questioned early in the game, if you say you didn't spare Letho, then he won't appear.

9 Letho Is One Of The Last Remaining Witchers Left In The World

Depending on how much knowledge you have about the overall franchise, you might not be aware that Letho is one of the few remaining witchers in existence alongside Geralt himself, Vesemir , and a few others.

Related:  The Witcher: 5 Reasons Why Geralt Is Better In The Games (& 5 Reasons Why He's Better In The Show)

If you manage to kill Letho in the game, then that makes the numbers dwindle down even lower. You can also get the ending in the game that will allow Ciri to go on and become a fully trained Witcher herself, she'll be the first new one in a long time.

8 He Has Something In Common With Game of Thrones' Jaime Lannister

Did you know that Letho has a somewhat familiar nickname? Yes, he too is called the "Kingslayer" just like Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones . The comparisons mostly stop there but it's interesting to see two very popular fantasy franchises both have notable characters who have made a reputation for themselves by murdering a couple of kings.

That said, "kingslayer" is actually a fairly common term in fantasy but there is a lot of overlap between the two fandoms and they like to compare and contrast Letho and Jaime.

7 Letho Was The Main Antagonist In The Witcher 2

A lot of fans were introduced to The Witcher universe by playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and therefore never had the opportunity to play The Witcher 2 . As such, they may not realize what Letho's appearance in The Witcher 3 truly means.

Related:  10 Hilarious Memes About Netflix's The Witcher That Will Make Gamers Laugh

He was actually the main antagonist in the second game, as he worked for King Foltest as his hired killer to take out other kings in the Northern Realm. Letho and Geralt eventually have to face-off against each other in a final duel.

6 Letho Is One Of The Only People To Beat Geralt In A Fight

Geralt is one of the best out there when it comes to combat. He is easily one of the most formidable witchers in existence. It is very hard to beat him in a fight, but Letho managed to do it. He is one of only two people that has ever bested Geralt.

The other was a powerful sorcerer. To be fair, when Letho defeated Geralt in The Witcher 2 , Geralt was not up to full power. But, Letho could have killed him if he wanted to, he only stopped because Geralt once saved his life and he felt he owed it to him to pay him back.

5 Letho Can Make Geralt Break His Witcher Code

Geralt has a "code" that he refers to often, both in the books and in the games. There is technically no real rule book for witchers but Geralt operates by a strict code and one of those rules decrees that he will not kill another witcher.

Related:  Gwent: 5 Best Cards In The Witcher 3 (& The 5 Worst Ones)

Well, that rule is thrown out the window on a few occasions. He has to make some hard decisions when it pertains to witchers causing harm to people, such as in the case of Letho, who you have the option to kill multiple times.

4 Letho Believes That Women Should Rule The World

If you decide you don't want to invite Letho with you to fight together at Kaer Morhen , then he will discuss the possibility of going to Zerrikania, which is a realm known for being a matriarchal society.

Letho says that he would go there since he believes women should be in charge. The way he says it is delivered in his typical ambiguous manner so it's nearly impossible to tell if he's being serious or not, but it certainly gives fans something to consider.

3 Letho Was Once Almost Killed By A Slyzard

Letho and Geralt met because Letho was on the verge of death after getting hit by the tail end of a Slyzard in the forests of Angren. Geralt ended up saving Letho's life, which is why the other witcher spared Geralt after defeating him in battle in the second game.

Related:  The Witcher: 10 Strongest Female Characters, Ranked

Slyzards are massive, gray, flying reptiles. They can grow as large as a dragon and when they swing their tail at you, it can end your life quite fast. Even the most skilled witchers cannot reflect the blow.

2 Letho Has Had Some Kind Of Interaction With Both Of Geralt's Main Romances

For those who are unfamiliar with the franchise outside of The Witcher 3 , you might not know that Letho is pretty familiar with both Triss and Yennefer , not in a romantic sense, but due to various circumstances.

He helped Geralt rescue Yennefer from the Wild Hunt at one point and then helped get her somewhere safe after Geralt traded himself for her. He also kidnapped Triss to use her magical ability to teleport, although he had no ill will toward her.

1 Letho Was Betrayed By Emperor Emhyr

The whole reason that Letho began slaughtering kings was that he had been promised that upon doing his bidding, Emperor Emhyr would rebuild the School of Viper . Unfortunately, Emhyr not only goes back on his word, ultimately betraying Letho, but he also puts out a bounty on him and forces him to go on the run if he wants to stay alive.

While Letho has been labeled a villain by some, he has mostly just done what he had to do to gain back his school, it may not be dissimilar to what Geralt himself would have done under similar circumstances.

Best Answers for Witcher 3 Interrogation Questions (Aryan, Letho, & Others) – World State

Image of Andrej Barovic

CD Projekt Red understood that many new players would be joining in for the first time upon The Witcher 3 ’s release. To allow newcomers to experience the overarching decisions and consequences of the previous titles, they created a simulation that plays out during the initial part of Wild Hunt . Those who did import their saves from Assassins of Kings skipped this segment. The vast majority didn’t and had to make a choice. 

With a blade under his throat, Geralt is interrogated in Vizima on the events unfolding during The Witcher 2 . While one should definitely give themselves in to roleplaying as Geralt and choosing what he would, some choices are objectively better than others based on their outcomes. It can be difficult to determine good from evil in the dark fantasy world of The Witcher, but if Geralt manages, so can we.

The opening of The Witcher 2 features a siege ordered by King Foltest. Geralt comes across Aryan La Valette, the enemy commander, and has the option of either killing or sparing him. 

Killed vs. Spared

Killing Aryan La Velette has some drastic consequences that come into play during the Broken Flowers main quest. In his search for Dandelion, Geralt reaches the Vegelbud Estate, where he encounters Mary Louisa, Aryan’s mother. She immediately calls Geralt a murderer and refuses to go to the races. Even so, Geralt gets there and encounters Molly, who is now a noblewoman herself. 

On the other hand, if Aryan is alive, Molly remains a housemaid, and Aryan’s mother agrees to go with Geralt to the races. 

The best answer to go for here is the first one. Why? It adds a dramatic weight to the questline and doesn’t at all change the difficulty. Also, it makes more sense—Aryan was the commander of the enemy’s forces, and Geralt was highly loyal to Foltest and would probably do the same without the player’s interference. 

Question 2: Geralt’s escape from Flotsam 

The first chapter of The Witcher 2 places Geralt in Flotsam, where he rescues his well-known pals, Dandelion and Zoltan Chivay. As the events unfold, Geralt can side with either Vernon Roche, commander of the Temerian “Blue Stripes,” who holds Geralt innocent of Foltest’s murder, or Iorveth, leader of the elven renegades Scoia’Tael. 

Siding with Roche vs. Iorveth 

This choice impacts a sidequest associated with Vernon Roche that can play out and happen no matter the decision. However, if one picks the Iorveth path, Vernon Roche will forbid Geralt from entering his Partisan Hideout, making Geralt find another way inside. 

Naturally, Roche would have a positive outlook on Geralt if he sided with him in the first place and let him in, no questions asked. As it has a more positive effect on gameplay, siding with Vernon Roche is the preferable solution. It’s also more in line with the lore Geralt. 

Question 3: Who did Geralt save? (Depends on question 2)

This question’s choices are entirely based on what the player chose in the previous interaction, as both decisions have separate questlines in The Witcher 2 . 

Roche Path: Triss vs. Anais 

If the player escaped Flotsam alongside Vernon Roche, they had two options: to save Geralt’s lover, Triss Merigold, or to aid Roche in rescuing Anais, Foltest’s daughter. Triss Merigold is one of the most popular characters in the Witcher franchise, and choosing her has a direct consequence in Wild Hunt . 

A mage named Carduin will appear in Oxenfurt and be available as a talkable NPC. However, if the player decides to help Roche and rescue Anais–nothing happens. Carduin will not be available at Oxenfurt, or anywhere in the Northern Kingdoms for that matter, and it doesn’t have a general effect. 

As a result, choosing to save Triss Merigold is better and provides the player with extra flavor and content with Carduin in Oxenfurt. 

Iorveth Path: Triss vs. Saskia

The Triss option here is precisely the same as with Vernon Roche and has the same consequences. If players decide to side with Iorveth and help him lift the spell from Saskia, a dragon disguised as a human, there will be no general consequences. In The Witcher 2 , this decision leads to a massive witch hunt where Carduin supposedly dies, and he would be unavailable in The Witcher 3 . 

As both are generally the same option in different situations, we again believe that saving Triss Merigold is better. Why sacrifice additional content? 

Question 4: Sile de Tansarville 

An image from The Witcher 3 featuring a badly wounded Sile de Tansarville in the dungeons beneath Temple Isle and Geralt standing over her.

Sile de Tansarville was a powerful mage who played a significant role in the assassination of King Foltest and other rulers. To no one’s surprise, she was a wanted criminal and employed her Megascope as a means of traversal. At one point, she is discovered by Letho of Gulet, who tampered with her Megascope. 

Players are posed with the choice of saving her or leaving her Megascope alone, leading to her death. 

Saving Sile vs. leaving her to die 

If Geralt saves Sile, she reappears in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt . However, the means of her appearance are—to put it lightly—unfavorable. She ends up prisoner beneath Temple Isle, Redania’s zealots of Eternal Fire headquarters. 

They lead a campaign against mages, and it’s no wonder such a powerful woman would be kept prisoner at a maximum security dungeon. As Yennefer can only teleport herself and one other person, Sile is forced to stay due to her weakness of body and spirit. Geralt can then choose to leave her to suffer or deal the merciful blow. 

Leaving Sile to die in The Witcher 2 removes her from the following game entirely. This is the worse of the two options since it removes a fantastic dramatic moment in which Geralt is juxtaposed between his sense of honor and disdain for Sile. It’s one of the game’s best moments, and so the players should pick option 1–saving Sile. 

Final Question: Letho of Gulet 

Screenshot from the Witcher 2 of Letho holding a sword to Geralt's throat.

Letho of Gulet was the titular ‘Assassin of Kings’ and played the primary role in the many regicides. When Geralt encounters him in The Witcher 2 , he can either kill him or let him escape. Once again, this is one of the best character moments for Geralt, where he stands at the crossroads of loyalty—to Foltest or to Witchers. 

Killing Letho vs. setting him free 

Killing Letho is the most straightforward consequence. Geralt ends the mastermind of kingslaying. This results in his complete absence from The Witcher 3 , which is a horrible outcome. Letho is a loaded, deep, and mysterious character. The best option is to save him. 

Saving him has him reappear during one of the many contracts Geralt takes on in Wild Hunt . While investigating a haunted mansion, Geralt notices traps and meticulous witcher-like planning and discovers Letho hiding nearby. You can then go down a fantastic questline with Letho—Ghosts of the Past—and experience the true side of his character.

In the end, Geralt can send Letho to Kaer’Morhen, where he’ll be available as an NPC and much-needed help during the Wild Hunt’s siege.

Letho of Gulet , also known as the Kingslayer , is the main antagonist of the video game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings . He is a Witcher from the School of the Viper. His closest associates are Auckes and Serrit, also Kingslayers and Witchers from the School of the Viper. For reasons which were initially unknown, he enlisted the help of Iorveth and the Scoia'tael to aid him in his plan to kill the kings of the Northern Kingdoms. To back his claim, this man showed Iorveth a head he claims belonged to Demavend, King of Aedirn and Sovereign of the Pontar valley.

He was voiced by Mark Lewis Jones.

Biography [ ]

Early life [ ].

As a young man, Letho was trained at the witcher school of the Wyrm located in the unknown territory of the Nilgaardian Empire . During the Grass Trial, he eventually underwent mutations, making him another witcher. During his witcher training, Letho learned a lot about the Wild Hunt and wondered if his witcher school was founded only to find the Wild Hunt and to unravel their mystery. After the Witcher School of the Viper ceased to exist, Letho and the rest of the remaining witchers from the school of the Viper who managed to survive began traveling around the world to hunt down monsters, like most witchers of other schools.

In the forests of Angren on July 25, 1270, Letho was close to death after being struck by the tail of a Slytherin, but Geralt, a witcher from the School of the Wolf, found and rescued him in pursuit of the Wild Hunt to save Yennefer. In gratitude for saving his life, Letho told Geralt where to find the Wild Hunt and, along with his own companions, went with him in search of the spectral riders. Finally, the group caught up with the Wild Hunt during the winter solstice at the Hanged Man's Tree in Nilfgaard. Despite their skills, the witchers were unable to defeat all the warriors and a stalemate occurred before Geralt offered his soul in exchange for Yennefer.

Feeling that leaving the sorceress somewhere would be disrespectful to Geralt, Letho and the witchers took care of Yennefer. However, she suffered from amnesia and caused endless trouble for the group, which in the Nilfgaardian Empire meant she could be caught and killed. While the group traveled constantly to avoid drawing attention to themselves, they were eventually apprehended and thrown into prison. However, later Emperor Emhyr var Emreis himself approached Letho and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse: wreak havoc in the North by killing some of its rulers, blame the Lodge of Sorceresses, and the Viper School would be restored.

Killing kings [ ]

King Esterad Thyssen of Kovir and Poviss was initially Letho's first target, but his assassination did not occur as the regicides stumbled upon Sheala de Tansarville , who had Letho assassinate King Demavend. So in 1271, Letho boarded Demavend's ship on Pontar and, using a pod based on the north wind, froze most of the ship and almost everyone on board, except for a handful that were protected by Abelard's magic. However, it wasn't enough and all the guards fell to Letho's blade before he pounced on the king and killed him, then beheaded him as proof. At de Tansarville's suggestion, Letho then sought out Iorveth; however, rather than simply using the Scoia'tael to lay low after the kill as Sheala had predicted, Letho also ensured an alliance between the regicides and the Scoia'tael, whereby the latter helped Letho and his companions kill the kings of the North in any way they could.

Since the regicides' first attempt on King Foltest failed due to Geralt's presence at the time of the attack and the would-be assassin's death, Letho planned a second attempt on the life of the Temerian monarch with Iorveth, out of Sheala's influence or within the reach of anyone else. Aware of the imminent siege of La Valette Castle, Letho decided to pose as a monk guarding the king's children - a disguise he acted out as a defenseless monk who is tortured and then kills the person who took him to Solitude to keep the secret. Foltest, having successfully taken over the castle, appeared with Geralt, now acting as a bodyguard, and then asked the witcher to give him and the children some space. With his back turned, Geralt heard the attack too late as Letho revealed himself right after he killed Foltest and escaped through a window to escape with the help of the Scoia'tael, leaving Geralt wrongly accused of regicide. Shortly after this assassination, Letho tried to betray Iorveth by turning one of his commandos against him. However, his leader refused, so Letho killed his entire unit to cover his tracks and left Ciaran to be captured by the Flotsam guards.

In an attempt to catch Letho, Geralt, who now knew that the Viper School witcher was trying to get rid of Iorweth, staged Iorweth's kidnapping as a ruse to expose his treachery. However, Iorveth and his Scoia'tael were attacked by the Blue Belts, leaving Geralt and Letho alone, and a fight ensued between them. Letho won, but spared Geralt. Letho revealed that Geralt once saved his life, so they were "even" now, and he escaped to kidnap Triss and force her to teleport to Aedirn. He managed to capture the sorceress, but fought back and killed Cedric when he tried to defend her.

Upon arriving in Vergen, Letho abandoned Triss and regrouped with Serrit and Egan at their hideout. Knowing that the Scoia'tael in the area would soon realize his betrayal, Letho and his two companions massacred them, leaving only one survivor. Hearing of the upcoming summit at Loc Muinne, Letho went there, entrusting Serrit and Egan with the murder of Henselt .

Knowing that Sheala had become a burden to him, Letho sabotaged her megascope, replacing one of the crystals with a defective one to get rid of her. Unless Geralt intervenes, Letho succeeds and Sheala explodes. The regicide then waits in the center of the Temerian Quarter in Loc Muinne to talk to his former comrade. Letho offered Geralt vodka, explaining that he had never had anything personal against him and proceeded to tell him about the deal with the emperor, the fate of Yennefer and everything he knew about the Wild Hunt.

In Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [ ]

Letho returns in Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, as a supporting character this time if he was spared in Assassins of Kings . He will be at the Reardon Manor in Velen and have a related quest Geralt can do to enlist him to fight the Wild Hunt in Kaer Morhen. Geralt has to interfere with his "death" and then later choose to let him go to Kaer Morhen. If Letho is sent Kaer Morhen, he aids in the battle against the Wild Hunt. If Vernon Roche and Ves are recruited, they will be less than happy with Geralt's decision regarding having Letho around and question him about it.

Letho joins Geralt and Lambert's hunting party against the Hunt's advanced scouting parties. When the trio are surrounded by the Hunt and Triss launched a fireball to save them, while Geralt and Lambert take cover with Quen, Letho picked himself up from underneath a dead Hunt warrior. Upon spotting Hunt general, Imlerith , Geralt advised against confronting him, prompting Letho to call him a "pansy".

After Vesemir's funeral, unless Geralt asks Letho to remain at Kaer Morhen, he resolves to travel east over the mountains.

Go, Boussy.
That's no my father.
But it is your king, boy.

  • Along with Vilgefortz Letho is the only character who defeated Geralt of Rivia in combat.

How to Complete Ghosts Of The Past Side Quest in The Witcher 3

Image of Iya Paterno

The Witcher 3 features several complex characters who offer a lot in the story and your overall experience. One of them is Letho , who Geralt can encounter again in one of the side quests in The Witcher 3. Letho was one of the main characters in the second game, and in this side quest, you learn more about the former antagonist's personal conflict. Here's how to complete the Ghosts of the Past side quest in The Witcher 3.

How to start the Ghosts of the Past side quest in The Witcher 3

Unlike the regular quests that follow the main storyline, you cannot trigger this side quest through one of the notes you see on a notice board or simply by speaking to a character in the game. To start Ghosts of the Past, you need to travel to it. Head to Reardon Manor , which is on the north side of Downwarren in Velen. When you get there, enter the largest building while successfully avoiding the traps. The quest triggers when you go inside the barn .

How to reunite with Letho in The Witcher 3

witcher letho of gulet

You can use your Witcher Sense to find a ladder that's on the floor of the barn. Examine the object to pick it up. This prompts the cutscene where Geralt reunites with Letho. As the two Witchers speak, a group of scouts arrives outside.

Letho asks you to aid him in taking them down. Regardless of your answer, you end up fighting them. They are not at par with the powerful monsters you normally deal with in the game, so this part is fairly easy.

Should you cut the quest short or help Letho?

After the quick fight, Letho tells you he intends to talk with his old friend Louis. The game gives you two choices. You can either respond, Love to see that , which will prompt you to go with Letho and proceed with the quest until its full end. You can also opt to say Good luck instead, which cuts the quest short, and you'll never see him again. Unless this is your first playthrough and you are, for whatever reason, rushing to the end of the main storyline, we recommend you go with the first option and see this quest through until its end.

Should you free Letho or unintentionally foil his plan?

If you decide to see this quest through, you will quickly travel with Letho on horseback to visit Louis. The big old Witcher also has a lot of interesting things to say to you during this quick journey. During the meeting with Louis, your responses do not have much impact. There's a fight against a group of fairly weak bandits in the end which you can easily finish. In the end, a wounded Louis reveals the man's location with a pin on Letho's head. After this encounter, you set off to Lindevale with Letho.

Related: Best Witcher 3 Builds for Early Game

Once you get to Lindevale with Letho, a cutscene plays. He instructs you to stay out of the confrontation he's about to have, which is a subtle warning that intervening in the events that are about to unfold foils his plan that you do not know of yet. Letho fights with the bounty hunters and falls, prompting you to run up to them, giving you two choices. You can select You're good as dead as a response where you fight and kill the bounty hunters. You can easily accomplish this but doing this foils his plan of faking his own death.

We suggest you opt for Don't want trouble as a response, following Letho's orders. You tell them to take Letho's medallion instead of his head. Whatever response you go with, Geralt discovers that Letho is alive and takes him inside. 

Letho wakes and reveals that he planned to fake his own death to be free from these bounty hunters. So if you intervene and kill his attackers, his plan fails. But if you follow his orders of not intervening, this finally frees Letho. Regardless of the outcome, Letho plans to go off somewhere else. Should you need his help, later on, you can invite him to Kaer Morhen. The end of this last conversation with the old Witcher completes the Ghosts of the Past quest.

Whether you try to complete the side quests in The Witcher 3 on your first playthrough or your next one, they are definitely not something you'd want to miss. If you're new to the game or are a returning player, we've got you covered with some useful tips for The Witcher 3 to get you started or refresh your memory.
