The shooting at the Moroccan location with Ciri of The Witcher is almost wrapped. But it was not only the princess who was present there.

Ciri And Unicorns Set to Cross Paths as The Witcher Films an Iconic Storyline in The Largest Hot Desert of Earth

After the beguiling ending of The Witcher season 2, we are all waiting for the
third season to bring in some mind-blowing Witcherverse plot. By now, fans do
know that a huge part of the storyline has a Time of Contempt arc. There will be
some iconic and most anticipated scenes in this season from the books. For
instance, the canonical fight between Geralt and Vilgefortz. Another interesting
plot is that surrounding Ciri in The Witcher. 

You must have surely heard about how the last descendent of the Cintran royal
line
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-3-to-bring-a-highly-anticipated-time-of-contempt-arc-of-ciri-to-life/]
finds herself lost in the Korath Desert. The good news is that we are getting
all of it in the upcoming season, as they have already started shooting the
scene in the hottest desert on Earth. Earlier we updated you about the wrap-up
of the Wales shoot
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-with-half-the-season-wrapped-the-witcher-set-sees-an-iconic-fight-between-geralt-and-vilgefortz-unwrap/]
and with it the conclusion of half of season 3’s production. After Wales, the
production team along with its warrior, Ciri aka Freya Allan traveled to Morocco
to shoot in the Sahara desert.


THE SAHARA DESERT WILL BE THE KORATH DESERT OF THE WITCHER WORLD

Till now, Ciri, the one with the elven blood and the future of the witchers had
to live in the shadow of Geralt, her protector. He kept her at a distance and
she wasn’t allowed to practice her powers entirely, probably because she
couldn’t control them yet. But The Witcher season 3 will be more about Ciri than
any other character. Perhaps she is responsible to perish the old world,
ushering in a new age. And she will come to this realization in the Korath
desert per one of the iconic chapters of Time of Contempt. This is evident from
the fact that they were restlessly filming scenes in the Moroccan desert
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-3-moves-to-an-iconic-shooting-location-in-morocco-home-to-game-of-thrones-james-bond-and-star-wars/],
and only Freya Allan was present.

Apart from Allan, stunt persons were also present and filming continued even in
the harshest of weather. What maneuvers were possible in the Korath Desert? They
might have recorded Ciri’s encounter with the Trappers, a group that wanted to
seize her and deliver her to the Emperor of Nilfgaard to collect her reward.
Well, our Ciri is never alone. This time around, unicorns will be possibly there
to help her find the way.


THE UNICORNS ARE COMING TO RESCUE CIRI IN THE WITCHER

Ciri barely manages to stay alive in the Korath desert, well, thanks to the
unicorn who comes to rescue her. The photographers of Redanian Intelligence
[https://redanianintelligence.com/2022/07/09/the-witcher-season-3-has-filmed-an-iconic-ciri-sequence-in-the-sahara-desert/]
captured the presence of two white horses at the location. Hence proved, the
unicorns are coming! While one of them probably would be the
unicorn Ihuarraquax, it is also possible both the horses play the same role. But
they aren’t braided to look alike.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

The horses were a major part of the recent filming, and as horses are typically
not good fits for prosthetics, it is safe to assume that they will insert the
horns in post-production CGI. Further, the shooting in Morocco is almost wrapped
which means they are one step nearer to wrapping everything. Rumors also suggest
that the next destination for The Witcher cast to land will be Costa Rica and
the Maldives.
