A committed The Witcher 3 fan has finally revealed a secret surrounding one of the game's DLC side quests after speeding the internal clock ahead seven years. The third installment of CD Projekt Red's critically acclaimed archaic RPG series has a lot of secret details and Easter Eggs concealed within its massive game world, that players still uncovering even after 6 years. From secret Doctor Who references in The Witcher 3 to beastly Chorts that punish players for poaching dairy cattle in White Orchard farmland, there seems to be no restriction to what Geralt can risk across in his travels.
Said travels ultimately lead Geralt to get together with Vivienne de Tabris, a woman in-waiting who is suffering from a strange otherworldly curse in a side quest named "The Warble of a Smitten Knight". This quest is a piece of The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine DLC and tasks Geralt with trying to fix this torment - which is causing Vivienne to slowly transform into a bird-like animal resembling an oriole. Geralt has seen this curse before in his many travels during the Witcher games, so he knows of a couple of ways to fix it - however he warns Vivenne that curing it could prompt her demise seven years after the fact. Players can choose to play out the custom expected to lift the curse regardless, and Vivienne in the long run departs to experience her remaining days in harmony by traveling the world.
PC Gamer reports that Vivienne does indeed pass away after seven in-game years, and Witcher 3 players can really find her body in Skellige. Youtuber xLetalis was ready to uncover this secret by using The Witcher 3 console commands to move Vivienne to her final resting place in Skellige and speed up the in-game clock by seven years. Adequately sure, poor Vivenne drops dead just as Geralt anticipated she would, however there are some abnormal issues with the material physics on her dress as she falls. xLetalis had been searching for this secret ever since The Witcher 3 quest designer Philipp Weber tweeted a mysterious hint about Vivenne's "last secret," a tease that gained further foothold after some fans asked Weber about it during a foundation livestream. However, while xLetalis is the first English-speaking player to uncover reality with regards to Vivenne's definitive destiny, a German-language site named GameStar had previously given an account of it back in 2020.

This lamentable yet-impressive Witcher 3 discovery comes just as CD Projekt Red has reported that there are various new Witcher games in development. This uncover was so Earth-shattering that the game's official website crashed almost immediately after going live, leaving fans to speculate on just what these new projects will be about. There has been a lot of discussion about a hypothetical Witcher 4 for a long while, for certain players in any event, suggesting that a new Witcher sequel could shift the spotlight away from Geralt for a new protagonist.
One person who certainly will not be seen again in future Witcher games is Vivienne de Tabris, as fans have now confirmed that she definitely passes away after seven years because of her curse being lifted. It's rare for a game engineer like CD Projekt Red to think of such a seemingly insignificant detail like having a person really pass on after a set measure of in-game time, making the way that CDPR represented this in The Witcher 3 even more impressive.
