The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Artbook

The magical catastrophe that recently swept over
this part of the isle of Ard Skellig has left it looking
quite different compared to the surrounding
lands. Twisted, gnarled trees form a strange
labyrinth of tangled roots, branches, and thick
trunks. The area is quiet and dead—birds, beasts,
and people all go to great lengths to avoid this
place.
Our guiding principle here was to present elements
of the normal landscape—trees, bushes,
rocks—transformed under the influence of
rogue magic. Our concept artists and location
artists worked together to give the site of this
magical catastrophe its own unique, unreal, and
disturbing appearance.
