Here is how to get the alternative Dandelion appearance in The Witcher 3 inspired by the Jaskier character (Joey Batey) on Netflix.

How to Get the Alternative Dandelion Appearance in Witcher 3

Aside from giving The Witcher 3 a next-gen (or now-gen) upgrade, developer CD Projekt Red has added a handful of features that draw upon Netflixā€™s The Witcher series ā€” such as a new look for Dandelion. Here is how to get this alternative Dandelion appearance in The Witcher 3.

You Can Give Dandelion Jaskierā€™s Clothes but Not His Face

Thereā€™s no need to unlock anything ā€” with the latest patch / upgrade, Dandelionā€™s new appearance can be activated from the main menu. However, you canā€™t change outfits in-game ā€” youā€™ll have to exit to the main menu first.

So, from the main menu, go to Options. Then go to Gameplay and scroll down to ā€œAlternative Dandelion Appearance.ā€ Press right to enable it and press left to disable it. If youā€™ve not yet met Dandelion in-game, youā€™ll have to wait until you uncover him in Novigrad. And if you have, the change of appearance should take effect next time you load a save.

Jaskier is the original Polish name of the character who, up until the Netflix show, was known as Dandelion in the West. Heā€™s played by Joey Batey in the show, and this new appearance makes Dandelion look a bit like him.

Only a bit? Yes ā€” Dandelion will wear Jaskierā€™s show outfit, and he will have a slightly different face, stripped of facial hair. But heā€™s still not a dead ringer for the actor, presumably because actually licensing an actorā€™s image can be tricky ā€” and pricey.

But if you want to give Dandelion that Netflix-inspired alternative appearance in The Witcher 3, thatā€™s how you go about it.
