Finally, you face Iris' Nightmare: a collection of deranged and physically twisted manifestations of Olgierd, who ominously speak to you as you fight them.]]

** Right before you enter the estate, you encounter a thief. Moments later Geralt and the thief watch a hooded figure draw a corpse towards the backyard. Geralt follows the trail. After a run-in with a seemingly possessed cat and dog who warn you, you run into the figure. It appears to be digging graves with an absurdly large spade that doubles as blade. When Geralt gets closer, the figure removes its hood, revealing it to be [[spoiler: what seems to be an animated, stitched together body with [[TheFaceless no face]]. The creature invokes [[Film/{{Smiley}} invokes the image of a certain smiling character...]]]]

* Whoreson Junior's residence's upstairs which contains almost a dozen freshly-murdered prostitutes he's used to bathe in the blood of.

** Worse, Yennefer shoots down the attempt by Geralt to calm his wounded spirit. [[FantasticRacism She doesn't believe its really a person after all.]]

* A Hym possesses people that have committed horrible crimes and forces them to hurt themselves. Even horribly mutilating themselves in the later stages. One might think that wouldn't be bad, but they only latch on to guilt. Meaning [[TheSociopath sociopaths]], pyscopaths, and [[ObliviouslyEvil people who honestly don't believe their doing anything wrong]] won't attract it. It's highly likely that [[TheAtoner someone that would do anything to make up for their actions]] would be the most susceptible to possession.
* Hearts of Stone: [[spoiler: Gaunter O'Dimm]]

* The Botchling, which is a thing straight from real-life fairy tales. A miscarried child which was abandoned without proper rites coming back from the dead to haunt the family which abandoned it.

** The horrifying realization that ''you can't rescue the children you just met'' if you refuse to let an EldritchAbomination out of a tree. [[spoiler: If you do, it destroys a nearby village and leads to the Bloody Baron's suicide.]]

* The scene where Yen uses forbidden, arcane black magic to reanimate a terrified, pain-wracked corpse in order to extract information from him on Ciri's whereabouts is chilling disturbing -- even Geralt is visibly shaken by the experience. Yennefer herself describes the experience as feeling like she had stuck wriggling cockroaches inside her mouth.

* Sile, the proud Sorceress and villain from ''The Witcher 2'' is found in the dungeons of Temple Isle if you spared her. She's been shaved, tortured, beaten, and possibly sexually abused to the point of death. ''She begs you to kill her.''
