Letho of Gulet , also known as The Kingslayer , was a witcher from the School of the Viper . His closest associates were Auckes and Serrit , also kingslayers and fellow witchers from the School of the Viper. Letho 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, the Viper showed Iorveth a head that belonged to Demavend III , the king of Aedirn , whom Letho had previously slain.

Biography [ ]

Letho's origins are unknown, or if he even hailed from Gulet . As a child, he ended up at the School of the Viper where he was trained and underwent the Trial of the Grasses and became a witcher. Here, he was educated in the school's repository knowledge of the Wild Hunt .

At some point after he'd become a witcher, the Viper School eventually fell into ruin when the Usurper demanded the school's submission to his rule and was refused. The Nilfgaardian Army then lay siege to and destroyed Gorthur Gvaed after a costly battle, and the remaining witchers were scattered about the Empire, became internal exiles forbidden from entering most cities, forcing Letho and his brothers to go into hiding. [1]

Letho once sought after the bounty of a wanted man named Louis in Aedirn. After struggling to find simple contracts, he decided to hunt Louis in exchange for coin. Letho easily tracked him down merrymaking at the Golden Hanged Man in Hagge and captured him. After bringing him to collect his payment he discovered that the Guard Post was closed until dawn. With a few hours to spare, the two conversed, becoming friends and Letho decided to set him free. [2]

In the forests of Angren on July 25, 1270 , Letho was near death after being struck by a slyzard 's tail but Geralt , a witcher from the School of the Wolf , found and saved him while chasing after the Wild Hunt to rescue Yennefer . As thanks for saving his life, Letho told Geralt where to find the Wild Hunt and, alongside his own companions, travelled with him to find the spectral riders. Eventually, the group caught up with the Wild Hunt on the Winter Solstice, by the Hanged Man's Tree in Nilfgaard. Despite their skill, the witchers couldn't defeat all the warriors and a stalemate ensued before Geralt offered himself in exchange for Yennefer.

Feeling it'd be disrespectful to Geralt to just leave the sorceress somewhere, Letho and the witchers took care of her. However, she was in pain, suffering from amnesia and caused an endless source of trouble for the group, which, in the Nilfgaardian Empire , meant she was liable to get caught and killed. While the group traveled constantly to try and avoid attention, they were eventually detained and thrown in jail. However, Emperor Emhyr var Emreis himself later approached Letho and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse: sow chaos in the North by killing some of its rulers, lay the blame on the Lodge of Sorceresses , and the School of the Viper would be restored.

Killing kings [ ]

King Esterad Thyssen of Kovir and Poviss was initially Letho's first target, but this never came to be as the kingslayers came into contact with Síle de Tansarville , who contracted Letho with assassinating King Demavend and helped to organize it. Thus, in 1271 , Letho snuck onboard Demavend's ship out on the Pontar and, using a Northern Wind -based capsule, froze most of the ship and nearly everyone on board except a handful that were protected by Abelard 's counter spell. However, this wasn't enough and all the guards fell to Letho's blade before he rounded on the king and killed him, then cut off his head for proof. Per de Tansarville's suggestion, Letho subsequently sought out Iorveth with the head in tow; yet, instead of merely using the Scoia'tael in order to lie low after the killing as Síle had envisaged, Letho also secured an alliance between the kingslayers and the Scoia'tael, whereby the latter would help Letho and his comrades to kill the kings of the North in whatever way they could.

Because of the kingslayers' first attempt on King Foltest's life having failed due to Geralt being there at the time of the attack and the would-be assassin 's death, Letho planned a second attempt on the Temerian monarch's life with Iorveth, while being out of Síle's or anyone else's reach. Aware of the imminent siege at La Valette Castle , Letho decided to pose as a monk guarding over the king's children - a disguise which he enacted by framing himself as a helpless monk being tortured and then killing the person who treated him to keep the secret. Foltest, after successfully taking over the castle, appeared with Geralt, now acting as a bodyguard, at which point the king asked for Geralt to give him and the children some space. With his back turned, Geralt heard the attack too late as Letho revealed himself just after he killed Foltest and fled out a window to escape with Scoia'tael assistance, leaving Geralt to be wrongly accused of regicide. Shortly after this assassination, Letho attempted to betray Iorveth by turning one of his lieutenants against him. However, the elf refused, so Letho killed his entire unit to cover his tracks and left Ciaran to be captured by Flotsam 's guards.

In an attempt to catch Letho, Geralt, who now knew that Letho had attempted to get rid of Iorveth, the elf to the kingslayer as a ruse to expose the latter's treachery. However, Iorveth and his Scoia'tael were attacked by the Blue Stripes , leaving Geralt and Letho to battle each other. Letho prevailed in the battle with Geralt, but once the Wolf was down, he spared him. Letho revealed that Geralt once saved his life and so they were now "even", before running off to kidnap Triss and force her to teleport them to Aedirn. He succeeded in capturing the sorceress, but fought and killed Cedric in the process as he tried to defend her.

After arriving in Vergen, Letho abandoned Triss and regrouped with Serrit and Auckes in their hideout. Knowing that the Scoia'tael in the area would soon become aware of his betrayal, Letho and his two comrades massacred them, leaving only one survivor . Upon hearing about the upcoming summit at Loc Muinne , Letho headed there, entrusting Serrit and Auckes with assassinating Henselt.

Knowing that Síle had become a liability for him, Letho sabotaged her megascope by replacing one of the crystals with a flawed one in order to dispose of her. Unless Geralt intervenes, Letho is successful and Síle explodes. Afterwards, the kingslayer waited in the center of the Temerian Quarter in Loc Muinne to talk with his former companion. Letho offered Geralt vodka, while explaining that he never had anything personal against him and proceeded to tell him about his deal with the emperor, the fate of Yennefer, and all that he knew about the Wild Hunt.

If Geralt fights Letho: the two fought one last time and Geralt ultimately defeated Letho, killing him.

If Geralt lets Letho go: Letho and Geralt parted ways, believing they'd never see each other again.

On the run [ ]

Note: if Letho was killed at the end of the second game, what follows below isn't applicable.

Having succeeded in tearing the North apart, Letho learned afterwards that it was all for naught, with Emperor Emhyr not only going back on his word to restore the School of the Viper but, as Letho was now a living witness to the emperor's plans, the witcher was a liability and assassins were sent after him. With a high price on his head and bounty hunters chasing him everywhere, Letho traveled around, not staying anywhere too long, before he dropped in at the abandoned Reardon Manor in Velen in 1272 . Coincidentally, Geralt was in the area as well on unrelated business.

If Geralt doesn't help him out: the two parted ways, with Letho heading off to take care of his business by himself.

If Geralt helps him out: Letho and Geralt talked for a bit, with Letho explaining his "on the run" situation before a group of scouts arrived, no doubt sent to see if Letho was there. After the two witchers killed them off, Letho asked his former friend for help in dealing with the bounty hunters and the two set out together to track down Louis , an acquaintance of Letho's and the only one who knew where the witcher was hiding, having recommended the manor to Letho. It turned out that Louis sold him out and, not one to forgive such actions, Letho left him to die. He then had Geralt follow him to Lindenvale and told Geralt that whatever happened next, to not interfere, before throwing a bomb at a nearby barn, causing it to explode and several armed bounty hunters to run out of a nearby hut. After a short conversation between Letho and the group's leader, Arnout Vester , one of the bounty hunters shot a crossbow at the witcher and he attacked, killing off six of them before falling over, seeming dead. Letho woke up sometime later, with Geralt waiting nearby, having sensed on closer inspection that Letho had used a substance to only make it appear that he died.

The Witcher 3: 10 Things You Completely Missed About Letho

Those who only played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or watched the Netflix series will likely not know a lot about Letho's background.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 give 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.

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 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 is a Character/NPC in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Known as  Letho of Gulet or his more infamous moniker, the Kingslayer , he is a Witcher of the School of the Viper, and an associate of Geralt. In the prequel, he is the main antagonist.

Some friends you see after many years apart and you immediately develop a headache. Not out of antipathy, but as a somatic premonition of the hangover sure to follow your drunken reunion. Seeing others, however, gives you an itching pain in your back and a desire to reach for your blade. For Geralt, Letho of Gulet had a foot in both of these camps. This renegade witcher of the school of the Viper had the blood of at least two Nordling kings on his hands, the fruit of his cooperation with Nilfgaard's emperor, Emhyr var Emreis. Accused of these crimes, Geralt was forced to chase down Letho to clear his own name. Though both walked away from their final confrontation in the ruins of Loc Nuinne alive and unharmed, Geralt did not think he would ever see Letho again. It thus came as quite a shock when he happened across Letho in a barn loft somewhere in the war-ravaged Temerian borderlands. It turned out Letho's former employer was less than satisfied with his performance and had set a variety of blood hounds on his trail. In these circumstances, the presence of another witcher to guard his back was more than welcome. Geralt remembered the care Letho had given Yennefer and, in a show of solidarity, decided to help his former companion deal with his pursuers.

If Geralt kills Letho's pursuers:

In order to shake the hounds off his trail, Letho had decided on a risky maneuver — faking his own death. His plan would have worked perfectly, too, had Geralt's hero reflexes not been a tad overstrung, causing him to butcher any and all witnesses who might have spread the news.

If Geralt goes along with Letho's plan:

In order to shake the hounds off his trail, Letho had decided on a risky maneuver — faking his own death. Although Geralt had no forewarning of this, he improvised with aplomb and sent Letho's pursuers off convinced they had rid the world of a kingslayer. After that, there was nothing more for Letho to do but disappear. Geralt proposed he hide out at Kaer Morhen for a while, and after a bit of thought Letho agreed.

Letho Information

The choices done in The Witcher 2 will affect what happens in Witcher 3, therefore, in order for Letho to appear in the game, he must be spared in the second game, or when prompted in the quest Imperial Audience, Geralt must choose the answer that Letho lives, else the game will simulate that Geralt had killed Letho. 

• Reardon Manor, Velen
• Kaer Morhen (if Geralt convinces him to go there)

• The Fall of the House of Reardon
• Imperial Audience (Mentioned Only)
• Ghosts of the Past

Backstory/History

Originally a witcher of the School of the Viper, Geralt rescued him whilst chasing the Wild Hunt. Letho then helped accompany Geralt in his attempt to find the Hunt and Yennefer.

He then reappears in the prequel, The Witcher 2, as the main antagonist of the game; hired by the Nilfgaardian Empire to destabilize the Northern Kingdoms, he worked with the Scoia'tael and some members of the Lodge of Sorceresses to destabilize the region for a Nilfgaardian invasion of the North. He killed Demavend, the King of Aedirn and Sovereign of the Pontar Valley; and Foltest, King of Temeria, whilst Foltest being accompanied by Geralt.

Regardless of who Geralt helps, Letho will reappear in the finale of the game, where Geralt can ask him everything he missed out, and will be faced with 2 choices: kill Letho or let him go free.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

About Dinamo Elektrostal

Moscow’s Dinamo Elektrostal are gearing up for their fifth EHL season having frequently picked off impressive wins but have yet to top their particular group in their previous attempts.

They did get the best of arch rivals Dinamo Ak-Bars in both the Russian Cup and the Prometheus International tournament to show they are knocking on the door.

There has been a reasonable level of turnover from 2020 with Anton Noshin, Evgenii Mokrousov, Aleksei Godenkov and Ivan Zuikov joining the newly formed TsOP Moskomsport outfit. Danill Karagodin, Mikhail Nekludov and Ilya Larikov have all retired.

Their replacements are mostly youngsters with Dmitry Zheleznyakov, Aleksei Samylkin, Petr Agapov, Ilia Bartenev, Andrei Gribanov and Oleg Kulakov joining their line-up.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
