The first name – Gaunter – is likely a reference to Meanwhile, the last name O’Dimm is probably a reference toAnd what about his alternate names – Man of Glass and Master Mirror?The interpretation that makes the most sense is to look at what a mirror symbolizes, especially in the context of Gaunter’s pact with Olgierd. Raging emotions are a storm. One has to dive in to find what is lurking behind the reflection, and it might be ugly. The clearest example of this trickery was shown with one Professor Through the tasks Olgierd made him do, Geralt learned that Olgierd had previously made a pact with O'Dimm for the restoration of his wealth and power so that he could once again be of nobility and marry his After fulfilling Olgierd's final wish, Geralt encountered O'Dimm again at Looking for more information on O'Dimm, Geralt, thanks to He further explained that O'Dimm was just one of many names belonging to the entity, a record of whose presence could be traced back thousands of years and across different cultures, and was a being who appeared to relish in meddling with human affairs, taking their souls, and sowing misfortune. Let’s begin by answering the most obvious question – who is Gaunter O’Dimm, also known as Master Mirror and Man of Glass? What I find particularly intriguing is the designer's choice to give him G.O.D. Since Geralt would be impossible to entice into a deal for his soul, O’Dimm instead takes an interest in him as a tool for taking the souls of other people.This is exactly why he helps Geralt twice – first at the beginning of the game by helping him find Yennefer, and later in “Hearts of Stone,” when Geralt is taken prisoner by the Ofieri.Knowing that Geralt will now owe him a debt, O’Dimm uses the witcher to complete his contract with Olgierd – since Olgierd stipulated that O’Dimm can only claim his soul after three of his wishes are fulfilled by someone else.If you choose to help Olgierd, O’Dimm’s last words translate into: “These closing lines confirm what we already know about Gaunter – while you’ve succeeded in banishing him from the physical world, the Devil cannot be killed; all he has to do is wait for the next poor fool to summon him.I think it’s likely that he may re-appear in future DLC content or even the next Witcher game, but never as the primary villain. A glass mirror, on the other hand, is "fake still water", it has no depth, and no path to the soul.

However, O'Dimm had one weakness: he could be tempted into pacts where one's soul is at stake and he must always keep his end of the bargain. So really, there’s no doubt here – Gaunter O’Dimm is the Witcher version of the Devil.As for the actual name – Gaunter O’Dimm – this appears to be a reference to two different characters found in the works of prominent horror/fantasy writer Stephen King. This reaction corresponded to the failure of the ceiling brace, causing structural damage and shaking the walls with enough force to cause a bookcase to fall.

O'Dimm greeted both Geralt and Olgierd at the temple ruins by walking down from the sky, telling Olgierd that he is here for his soul as agreed. So...I know I'm late AF to this discussion, but there is no question that Gaunter is the "Devil." If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. He is after two things – human souls, and a way to amuse himself.It is entirely possible that O’Dimm actually requires souls to survive; after all, he is the embodiment of humanity’s evil qualities, so it stands to reason that he can only exist as long as humans sin and thus feed his existence.

This entails that a mirror is not a "true mirror of the soul", and hence no way to the truth that the reflection is a "surface phenomena", an illusion, that can be penetrated for insight and wisdom. (Translated from O'Dimm's Elder Speech) Which, when you come to think of it makes it that much more obvious that he IS the Devil. This whole water thing has to do with external substitutes for inner shortcomings and emotions, and penetrating it for insight and relief.
