The Epic Showdown: Unveiling Liam Hemsworth's Winning Strategy Against Vilgefortz in the Ultimate Rematch!

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for The Witcher season 3, part 2, as well as for Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher novels.

Summary

In The Witcher season 3, Vilgefortz effortlessly defeats Geralt, emphasizing the significant difference in power between the two characters. This defeat also hints at Vilgefortz's ongoing importance, implying that he will continue to have a significant role in subsequent seasons of The Witcher.

In The Witcher, there is anticipation for a rematch between Geralt and Vilgefortz, based on The Lady of the Lake. In this rematch, Geralt emerges victorious, despite being easily defeated by Vilgefortz in season 3. The question remains whether Liam Hemsworth's portrayal of the Witcher will triumph over the mage in the upcoming rematch. The first part of season 3 revealed that Vilgefortz had been secretly working for the White Flame, leading up to the Thanedd coup in part 2. Episode 6 of season 3 showcased the intense civil war among the mages and featured some of the most thrilling action sequences of the season, including the fight between Geralt and Vilgefortz.

Vilgefortz Is Far More Powerful Than Geralt: How He Easily Beats Him

Geralt's recovery from his duel injuries in the season 3 finale of The Witcher is bittersweet, marking the end of Henry Cavill's portrayal of the character without the anticipated rematch against Vilgefortz. Nonetheless, Vilgefortz's story in The Witcher continues.

During their fight in episode 6 of The Witcher season 3, it becomes evident that Vilgefortz is more powerful than Geralt. However, it is unclear whether Vilgefortz employed any magic in his duel with the Witcher. The battle between Vilgefortz and Geralt in season 3 closely resembles the events in Time of Contempt, where Vilgefortz effortlessly defeated the Witcher using only a staff. In both the TV show and the book, Vilgefortz does not visibly use any magic against Geralt. Nevertheless, given Geralt's superior fighting skills, it implies that magic may have been a factor.

One theory suggests that Vilgefortz employed magic to enhance his speed during the initial encounter with Geralt, enabling him to effortlessly block and counter all of the Witcher's moves. Regardless of the means, Vilgefortz maintained the upper hand throughout the entire duel, leaving Geralt virtually powerless. This clash held personal significance for Geralt as he sought to rescue Ciri from Vilgefortz, adding to the weight of his defeat. Vilgefortz possessed the opportunity to kill Geralt after their confrontation, yet instead opted to spare the Witcher as a twisted form of celebration for his victory. Strangely enough, by allowing Geralt to survive, Vilgefortz inadvertently set the stage for a future rematch between the two adversaries.

Geralt vs. Vilgefortz's Rematch: When It Happens & Who Wins

Another showdown between Geralt and Vilgefortz is on the horizon in The Witcher, although it may not occur in season 4. Season 4 of The Witcher is expected to follow the novels' timeline, encompassing the events of Baptism of Fire and potentially parts of The Tower of the Swallow. In The Tower of the Swallow, Yennefer embarks on a quest to locate Vilgefortz, a storyline that could unfold in season 4 considering how season 3 concluded. Eventually, Vilgefortz manages to capture Yennefer and subjects her to torture in an attempt to disclose the whereabouts of Geralt and Ciri. This sets the stage for The Lady of the Lake, the final installment in Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher novels.

In The Lady of the Lake, the anticipated rematch between Geralt and Vilgefortz takes place. This time, Yennefer enters the fray, alongside the yet-to-be-introduced character, Regis. However, the situation ultimately escalates into a one-on-one duel between Geralt and Vilgefortz. Despite nearly facing defeat once again, Geralt seizes the opportunity to exploit an illusion that had been cast on Vilgefortz, altering the outcome of the battle and catching his opponent off-guard. By beheading the mage, Geralt emerges victorious over Vilgefortz. Therefore, in any future encounters between Liam Hemsworth's Geralt and Vilgefortz, the Witcher will finally achieve his long-awaited revenge.
