In the second part of the “The Witcher” game series, Saskia is one of the most interesting characters who meet along the path of adventure. The task associated with it will be in any case, regardless of the path chosen by the player. Learn more about all the information about this hero from this article. Many fans will discover something new.
Girl power
When Saskia is mentioned in the Witcher universe, a fragile girl appears in her mind, but in fact the heroine is the daughter of a golden dragon named Villentretenmert. Geralt met with him in books and even participated in one joint adventure. Saskia's mother was the green dragon Mirgtabrakke. Due to the mixing of blood, a girl cannot take one of the forms (lizard or human) on an ongoing basis. She can turn into a dragon with black scales and have the strength of her father. Plus, she has fast regeneration, which helps a lot in battle. This alone is enough to fear, at first glance, an ordinary warrior.
Role in the universe
In the second part of The Witcher franchise, Saskia plays an important role in the plot. This maiden embodies all the best features of the people's leader. On the territory of Vergen, peasants deify the heroine and are ready to almost worship her. It is not strange that when Henselt launches his campaign and sends Kaedwen’s army to Aedirn, Saskia did not stand aside. She immediately raised the people of Vergenes to revolt and all the men followed her without a single protest. The thing is that the dragon girl has earned herself a positive reputation.
She is called the guardian of Vergen for a reason, because it was here that she helped people in every possible way in difficult situations. Legends, stories and fables were composed about her, and therefore the heroine became an idol during her lifetime. Plus, in the game, Saskia acts as a born leader who is able to inspire people. With this useful property, it compensates for the lack of experience in combat practice of building strategies of behavior in large battles.
The Way of Iorvet
In the Witcher universe, Saskia becomes the leader of Vergen's forces and accepts an attempt to reconcile Kaeven and Aedirn. She rescues the wounded Stennis, after which she arrives at organized negotiations. It is she who advocates admitting Yorvet with his “squirrels” to the table. Geralt was also invited, and he witnesses how, after raising the cup, the girl falls. It is then that the reasonable question arises of who poisoned Saskia in The Witcher 2. You can find out about this only after a full investigation. About the antidote will tell the witch Philip Eilhart, who will have to be saved during the quest "In the name of a great goal!". If you carefully search for the killer, you can find out what the priest close to Stennis did. He persuaded the prince to distract the servant from the kitchen so that he could freely throw poison into the glass. The fate of these characters will have to decide the White Wolf and there are several options.
Continued adventures with Saskia
In the game “The Witcher 2”, Philip will tell you how to conjure Saskia, after which the White Wolf sets off to remove the curse, which does not allow him to enter the fray. When this happens, Henselt launches an offensive and successfully takes two cities. Through the efforts of Saskia and her fighters with Geralt, it is possible to reject the invasion of Kaedven. In the second city, they do a dungeon maneuver, where they must prevent Detmold's scouts from going through the walls and entering the rear. In the catacombs, turning into a dragon, the girl greatly helps the White Wolf and saves him from death. After this, Detmold was forced to retreat. On the surface, Geralt, with Saskia and her subordinates, face Henselt's attack, but in time Iorvet and the elves arrive in time. The king of Qaedwen was completely surrounded and was forced to surrender. Then he signs an agreement under which Upper Airdirn is not attacked, and the state of Saskia is recognized as completely free.
Subsequent events
In the negotiations after the defeat of Henselt in the game The Witcher 2, Saskia demands from the lords of the North not only the points described above, but also the extradition of war criminals. These include the magician Detmold, and instead the king of Caedwen was promised a new adviser in the person of Sheala de Tanserville. It is her Saskia who saves from the attack of the Knights of the Order of the Burning Rose, when they make an attempt to capture the witch. Further on the assignment “And the dragon came” the protagonist can decide the fate of the girl. The knights severely wounded her during the battle and imposed a curse. To remove it, there should be a special stylet in the inventory, which can be obtained a little earlier. If this does not happen, then the hero can simply leave or finish off the heroine in dragon uniform in order to stop the torment. In the case of the removal of the curse, Saskia will tell Geralt about his father, and then return to Vergen. She considers Yorvet to be a murderer, although she understands his intentions and says that once the leader of the squirrels can be forgiven.
The path of rocher
The player can also choose a way to help Vernon Rocher, then the whole storyline will change significantly in detail. For example, the first meeting with Saskia will occur only when a girl in human form will fight with King Henselt. During her wound, Philip Eilhart and Stennis will arrive in time to save the heroine. After that, the fog of the curse falls on the battlefield, and therefore it is impossible to continue all military operations. Geralt will have to find a way to remove strange charms, and for this he moves to the other side.
In the catacombs of the city from the side of the Air Force, a second meeting of Saskia and the White Wolf takes place. She passes the Vandergrift sword, and also warns that it is better not to trust Henselt. When removing the fog, the king of Kedwen stormed these lands, and the girl, along with Philippa, escape through a teleport. They lost the battle, but Saskia decides to intervene in the negotiations between Aedirn and Kaedwen in the future. This leads to a battle between her in the form of a dragon and the White Wolf.
The third part
The developers from the CD Projekt RED studio realized the popularity of their secondary character and continued his story in a comic book, which is recommended for reading separately. In the world-famous game "The Witcher 3" Saskia never appeared, although many people expected this. Instead, she was introduced to Gwint card entertainment, where the dragon girl represents the Scoia'tael faction. She has heroic properties and maximum attack power. In the task "Strangers in the Night" you can find an interesting reference to the actions of the heroine. When communicating with the magician Theophile Maria Roscoe, he is mentioned about the fate of Henselt. If the player took the side of Yorvet, and transferred from the second part the continuation, the sorcerer will tell about the death of the king at the hands of a dragon. This refers to Saskia, who later nevertheless got to the man.
Diary Details
Many users would even like to choose with whom Geralt could be in the game The Witcher 2 - Saskia or Triss. Unfortunately, the plot does not have such a function, and the player can only affect the fate of the dragon girl. The diary says that the heroine strongly resembles the famous Falk, because she can also, with the click of her fingers, gather an army of fanatics who will follow her into fire and water. Gossip about Saskia, at first, seems delusional, but when meeting with her all doubts go down the drain. The girl has a true talent for leadership, and her beauty is an additional incentive for men. Plus, stories of killing dragons with bare hands make it almost a deity, and fanatics need only that.
