What Is A Striga? - Witcher Lore - Witcher Mythology - Witcher 3 lore

We know how it happens, like any other curse, A guy (i dont remember the name) hated ada when she was still in a womb (becose he loved her mother), transforming her, i dont see why any unborn baby couldnt be a striga

I had a LOT of hope for the Netflix series with their Striga bit. The conversation on the bridge with Foltest was probably the best scene of the entire series.

If they'd kept it going like that, it would've become something really special.

Striga females Strigoi males inspired from mitology

Foltest was on that Alabama time

So was the striga princess adda or her daughter? Because someone said that she was like a child so was it add or her daughter?

"Striga" comes from Romanian. Striga is a type of owl which flies in Romania. They are misterious and looks scary in the same time. The whole story is inspired from the Romanian history. Decebal leader has an army of courageos people and they has many wolves they grew and they were going to fight with them. From here there appeared stories around the world with werewolves and vampires. Proud to be a romanian.

So my ex gf basically was a striga?

Geralt in the intro cinematic: scares the hell out of the Striga

Geralt lifting the curse a second time: ring around the coffin

GOOD INFO

"His Sister.. His Lover.. and his Daughter" wait is this Alabama? j/k they way you said that just mad that pop in to my head

Man that was a great part in the book

Ada must have been a baddie…..or super cool

So a striga is a woman on her period then. Maybe that's just me lol

The Last Wish implies some more information on Strigas, actually. Chiefly the idea that no two Strigas are necessarily alike: some of them seem to be unaffected (or affected differently) by silver, and in some cases the curse transforming them has to be broken in a different way than Ada's. It's even implied that in some cases the curse in question cannot be broken at all, or at least not without the cursed one's death.
I personally think that those differences are probably dependent on the curse that creates the striga, the method used, the person who uttered it, etc. That would probaby also influence the likelihood of the curse returning.
Also, Ada's behaviour is probably more because of trauma and the fact that she she spend the first fourteen years of her life as essentially an animal. IRL children who during that time spend too much time isolated (examples include being locked away by abusive parents, being raised and socialized by animals rather than humans - mainly wolves, during more medieval times, or dogs - etc.) usually show trouble with language development, especially grammar, have low social skills, in some cases demonstrate animalistic behaviour (barking when excited/stressed, humping to assert dominance, etc.), and are generally usually less able to navigate society and need a lot of specialized care. Those children also usually show significant neuroligical differences in brain scans/imaging, and the chance of them learning or re-learning those social skills to the point non-neglected children possess is usually very low. So Ada would probably be considered "addled" for the rest of her life.

They should have made a striga contract or something.

There's a hidden room in the nilfgaard gardens mentioning a striga curse and a plot to make the girl turn back. You have to use your witcher senses and locate a stone in the wall to open it. Someone whose surname was Vivaldi was behind the conspiracy. watch?v=QaD9TnksAVM

You are teaching us more then school does

It’s ok to say striga but not strigger

It's streegah not strigger lol English accents 😁🤣

see? that's why incest is not okay

Completely butchered the book version.

This is awesome still trying to find Witcher 1

Why did adda have the body of a 14 year old if it had only been 7 years since her mother's death and her birth/death?

don't knw about witchers and all, but a well placed tranquilizer would have done the job...

I've got to be honest, I much prefer the Netflix series rendition of the Striga. That thing was horrifying and grotesque. Much better than how it's portrayed in the first game and described in the book.

Striger

A striga is 5 heavy attacks, a grapeshot, 2 igni, and almost no loot.

I want witcher 1 remake so bad!!!

I wrote the books and they we’re amazing.

where can I find striga in the witcher 3? I remember some npc mention it somewhere. but I regret not going for it at that moment

Strigas, Nekkers... what else?

One things that I hate about English is the words brother and sister (Confused)

Striga (Shtriga) comes from Albanian mythology .

I think the Striga is like the DC Doomsday of Witcher

We do have an idea about curses effecting the mind after being lifted, the old woman who collected spoons in Toussaint returned to her human for with not only her old memories but those of what she did as a hag

this does not sound accurate triga is ancient Latin roman tradition to protect the family and state by keeping a flame alive by becoming a virgin well Rome was protected by the holy mother virgin after chriztos. 500 years before christos.tradition stopped because last virgins were raped and murdered by elite in rome

What’s up mah striga?

I know this vid got hella clout after the netflix series dropped. Good job👍👌

What’s the music used in this video called

umm its fictitious weirdo

The Witcher ...best series in entire world ...best Henry Cavill 💪💪💪 love from India 💞

Hey 🙂 I've just discovered your channel. And I don't regret it ^^ very great work about the lore. And very dynamics videos.

But I've one question. Can you give the link for the stryga pictures appears in your video? Sorry if my english is not very good. I'm french btw 😂

The pictures on the thumbnail ^^

What ep on witcher1 do you fight the striga

Honestly, when I first heard of it, it sounded like a creepy creature and it's design was pretty cool... But Netflix's Striga is just disturbing and unnerving 😳

Liked this video before even watching it, because u used witcher 1 music

Wisdom 1

14 To exist -- for this he created all things; the creatures of the world have health in them, in them is no fatal poison, and Hades has no power over the world:

15 for uprightness is immortal.

16 But the godless call for Death with deed and word, counting him friend, they wear themselves out for him; with him they make a pact, worthy as they are to belong to him.

Where can I find Geralt Vs Striga theme from the Witcher Netflix series

Foltest lost his sister, his daughter and niece all in one day

Damn Netflix nailed that one perfect

striga generally means witch, its no specific type of monster of something. its just witch. thats how i know it since i was a kid.
