The actor who plays Geralt de Rivia is the protagonist of a video in which he explains the benefits of the wizards' weapon.
The Witcher's success on Netflix continues to reverberate. Although we will have to wait until 2021 to enjoy Season 2, the announcement of the anime movie and the continuous promotional videos of the platform help alleviate the craving of the fans. Henry Cavill, the interpreter who gives life to Geralt de Rivia, explained in a video how one of the most intense combat sequences had been filmed. But what about the sorcerers sword? The actor himself stars in a new clip in which he reveals all the details.
Every sorcerer who prides himself needs to fly a sword that allows him to end the life of the monsters, because the main task of this guild is to accept contracts to free the peoples from terrible creatures. The sorcerers' sword is forged with the aim of "killing both men and monsters," Cavill emphasizes. "It is made of meteorite," which means that it is more powerful than those made of "steel."
Renfri and Geralt.
Away from men's problems
The also Superman actor, who now changes his role — from the man of steel to someone who is capable of holding a meteorite-created weapon — states that by adding Renfri's brooch to his sword, his commitment to meddle in problems is reinforced. of men, "because they always lead him to his own personal pain." It also reminds him that "despite trying to do good, evil can be in any corner."
Not all creatures can succumb to the aforementioned sword. The magical nature of some monsters requires another type of weapon, the Silver Sword. The weapon itself does not have a special power, because "the true power of a sorcerer underlies his training." If you gave the edge to a normal person, it would be just a good sword. "But in the hands of a sorcerer can change destiny."
A sword fit for Geralt's fighting style
Cavill also mentions that he asked to redesign the steel sword so that it would adapt better to Geralt's combat style. During the production, all kinds of replicas were used, logically to avoid the wounds and the “nightmare” that would have meant for the makeup and hairdressing equipment that all their work was damaged. After all, a mane like Geralt's needs some special care.
The Witcher of Netflix is not based on video games, but on Andrzej Sapkowski's novels. The author of the books has not hesitated to admit that he has not been too involved in the production of the series, since in an interview he has assured that he respects the creative freedom of the artists and that he prefers not to intervene unless they are asked directly . The Polish author also explained that video games and the series cannot be compared, precisely because they have a different approach and objectives.
