Notably absent are the series' main protagonists. This epic encounter showcases the formidable battle strategies of Menno Coehoorn and John Natalis, two of The Witcher's esteemed commanders, both vying for victory on behalf of their respective factions. With Natalis's unparalleled brilliance, the Northern Realms emerge triumphant, ultimately culminating in the cessation of the war and the establishment of the Peace of Cintra.

4 Geralt & Ciri Fight To Escape Stygga Castle

Their hopes are swiftly shattered when they encounter a formidable group of soldiers led by Stefan Skellen and Vilgefortz, blocking their path.

3 Yennefer Fights Vilgefortz

: The potential of Yennefer's duel with Vilgefortz in The Witcher to become one of the series' most exceptional scenes is undeniable. This intense battle showcases two of the most powerful mages in the land engaging in a fierce struggle for supremacy. While Yennefer, being the second-strongest mage, is not on par with Vilgefortz's unparalleled abilities, the adaptation in The Witcher may level the playing field, resulting in an extraordinary and highly anticipated duel.

Stefan Skellen, Emhyr's imperial coroner in The Witcher books, assigns a small group of trusted soldiers to keep watch in the town of Dun Dare, eagerly anticipating Ciri's arrival. Their mission is to either apprehend or eliminate her. However, Ciri manages to locate the men before they can execute their plan, leading to a fierce and imbalanced confrontation.

This pivotal encounter in The Witcher highlights Ciri's burgeoning self-reliance and serves as a stark warning to those who underestimate her.

1 Cahir Fights Leo Bonhart

Cahir's unsuccessful attempt to defeat Leo Bonhart in the books pales in comparison to the potential for an intense duel in The Witcher series.
