The Witcher: Blood Origin ‘Post-Credits’ Scene Explained
After the credits on The Witcher: Blood Origin The viewers are treated to one final scene which ties the prequel with that of the primary Witcher series.
The scene shows Ciri playing with her friends on street life in Cintra wearing peasant clothes and a hat that hides her platinum blonde locks.
Something in Ciri’s eye catches her attention and causes her to gaze at the stone doorway. The scene was featured in the very first season of the show. beginning with the premiere, and later in Episode 7, when it is revealed that Geralt was in the doorway before Ciri was looking up. It was a touching moment that underscored the bond between the two characters.
The scene that follows the credits of Blood Origin undercuts it somewhat by proving that Ciri was not gazing at the spot that Geralt was looking, but instead was seeing the Elven sage Avallac’h (Samuel Blenkin) who was watching her with smiles in his eyes.
We won’t go into the plot, but Avallac’h is an essential character from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher books.
One of the series’ secret twists that were hidden from view revealed that Avallac’h, the apprentice of the sage, utilized Syndril’s book of monoliths in order to figure out a way to travel through time.
It’s not clear if Avallac’h was able to travel back in time to Cintra in the final scene, however it is implied that it was a part of the story.
We’re likely to see Avallac’h find Ciri but what he’s going for her will not know until the next seasons of The Witcher come out.
It’s unclear if Blenkin will be returning to the role for Season 3 of The Witcher, but given the post-credits scene it’s very likely that we’ll see more of her character in the mothership series.
