Love the achievement "Butcher of Blaviken"

[Professor Calculus]

Now where does that reference come from?

[Duncan]

At some point in the books Geralt couldn't find any contracts to kill a monster, so he had to settle in and work in a local butchery of Blaviken. He wasn't really good at it, got many scars from this job, like the one on his eye when the cleaver slipped out of his hand. You can also notice huge chewing scars on his shoulders - a cow bit him.

From the books.
Geralt killed bandits that threatened to start massacre.
What folk did see is just an enraged witcher who suddenly started to kill without a reason. This is why Geralt is called "Butcher of Blaviken".

He killed 5 people in the books without taking any damage at all, that is, before Shrike attacked him.

Blaviken is a village. Geralt was hanging out there when a disowned princess showed up with her deathsquad to kill a mage.

First Geralt got in her pants and then the day after had to kill them all. The lesser evil so to speak as they were intending to massacre the entire village to draw the mage out of his tower.

It was named that because Geralt cuts through them like a hot knife through butter.

Short and on point.

Also, said disowned princess is Snow White, and Geralt turned accompanying dwarfs to shreds...

Made me laugh a bit :)

Anyway, it does come from something else, a particular scene in which Geralt killed some bandits in the books. It will be one of the things they will include in The Witcher movie, which will be relased later this year, most likely.
