Our six warriors begin The Witcher: Blood Origin’s third episode by leaping back through a portal, killing the creature that pursued them, turning off the portal, and slashing it in half. As they get closer to Xin’Trea, it appears that more beasts are coming through.
However, Geldof, who blatantly plagiarises Arnie by saying “come with me if you want to survive,” appears while Balor’s beast is still circling in the air when they encounter him. They are fed within Meldof’s cave as she learns of their horrific exploits, including defeating all those armies and getting here. In order to defeat Balor’s winged nightmare, Syndril advises that they create their own creature, with him acting as one and fusing the beast’s biological essence with his own.
They require certain herbs before the long and painful metamorphosis, though. Eile feels as though she must make the ultimate sacrifice because she is a part of the prophecy. Fjall urges her to live as he attempts to dissuade her. She grips his hand, telling him all of her songs have been sung, but she also shrugs.
Eile advances and offers herself as the sacrifice after the elixir has been prepared. A type of the last dinner follows, replete with music and gaming. Scion, who is not in the mood to party, leaves knowing that their little prank on the Xin’Trea steps might be their last. Dramatic music, thunder, and strobed lighting follow as Fjall and Eile end up kissing in the midst of this.
When Eile awakens, she discovers that Fjall has taken the first elixir in its place and is alone. This news horrifies her. They are compelled to go on since it appears that there is no way to go back.
Merwyn the Massacre instructs her mage to locate the book, which is tucked away under some floorboards. Avallac’h returns it to Merwyn and mentions that he might be able to open portals. Until Balor appears and uses his powers to push him up against the wall with his staff.

Erendira stops Avallac’h from throwing him just in time by keeping his partner in crime at knifepoint. Balor eventually gives in and is put in prison, and Merwyn is now more motivated than ever to unlock the portals. They are unable to open it because Avallac’h’s might is insufficient. They need the magic of Balor.
When all is said and done, Geldof makes the decision to form a band with this eclectic group, desperate to leave the world in a blaze of glory and be reunited with her beloved. Scion, however, is not present. Instead, she’s made the decision to betray them all and is going to see Merwyn while claiming to know vital information regarding Fjall.
Scion demands a sizable sum of cash in exchange for releasing Fjall and Eile. She also demands payment in exchange for Soulreaver, the treasured sword of her family. Oh, and she needs 50 soldiers from the Golden Empire to assist her in bringing him in alive. Merwyn concurs, and they leave.
Merwyn then leaves to see Balor since he needs his assistance. Merwyn says they should collaborate and harness the power of elf-kind as a pair despite the fact that this cell ostensibly suppresses magic. Additionally, he wants his apprentice Fenrik to be with her.
When Scion arrives ahead of Fjall, she discovers that he is the one who has consumed the elixir. As it turns out, this seeming double-cross wasn’t one at all—she really lured these soldiers in with the intention of killing them—none of them bother to inquire where she has been. She wanted to murder all of these troops and steal their armour so that she and her companions could pose as soldiers. Through all of this, it comes out that Geldof is not only a skilled hammer user but also a fantastic bow shooter. No one knew!
So off they go, deciding to enter Xin’Trea using their improvised Trojan Horse scheme. Fjall is having trouble controlling his abilities as they stand at the gates until Eile begins to hum a song to him.

The Episode Review
As a result, in the penultimate episode of The Witcher: Blood Origin, all of our characters arrive at Xin’Trea together, prepared to change history and overthrow the Empire. This programme hasn’t done a very good job of creating a convincing environment. Although famine is supposedly a problem in the Kingdom, we have never actually witnessed it.
Beyond a few discoveries about their pasts, none of the characters has developed in the meanwhile. They are all skilled fighters and mages, therefore any threat to them is utterly defeated. They aren’t exactly Mary Sue characters, but they’re pretty darn close. Blood Origin has the opportunity to impress with a strong conclusion when it comes up next, but even then, this has been a rather meagre and unimpressive fantasy effort.
