When a game like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is hailed as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, you might think that its secrets would all be revealed by now.
But as I discovered last week even after hundreds of hours of playing, this masterpiece still has surprises tucked away — and the gaming community has unearthed yet another gem in the Blood and Wine expansion.
Beauclair the jewel of Toussaint is already one of the most beautiful and immersive locations in gaming. Its vineyards, vibrant marketplaces and grand architecture have captured players since the expansion’s release.

But in between all this a small, previously unheard of detail—a leopard that belongs to Duchess Anna Henrietta herself. Yes a real leopard, casually running in its regal surroundings, exuding elegance befitting the duchess’s court.
The best part? This discovery was not hidden in a quest or marked on the map. It was just… there waiting for someone to stumble on it. Just kind of thing that makes you stop and marvel at the detail that CD Projekt Red has put into this game.
Who else but the Duchess of Cambridge would have kept a leopard as a pet? Is it her? It’s a small touch but it adds so much texture to the world and its characters.
This isn’t the first time The Witcher 3 has surprised us long after its release. The game’s design rewards curiosity in a way few titles manage. From dialogue choices to rare monster encounters And that’s exactly why fans like me keep coming back to it.
There’s something magical about wandering the world and knowing you might still stumble upon something new.
So if you’re one of those players who thought you had seen everything Beauclair had to offer it’s time to go back. Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere, explore every nook and cranny and maybe you’ll find the Duchess’s luxurious feline companion.
It’s discoveries like these that remind us why we fell in love with Geralt’s journey in the first place.
What other secrets would Toussaint or the Continent be hiding from us? If you ask me there’s only one way to find out. Time to fire up the game and head back into The Witcher 3 worlds. The hunt for hidden treasures is well and truly over.
