WTF? King Kong in Witcher 2?

I couldn't find anything with the search function about it, only a polish post which got the words "King Kong" in it.
polish post with King Kong
To my shame I still can't speak polish, maybe someone can translate this or find anything else about that topic in the polish parts of the forum.

So, after defeating the Kayran that sorceress turns into King Kong for half a second. I wouldn't say it's a bug, cause it's always there. Didn't manage to get a screen yet, 'cause it disappears to fast. :)

Any suggestions what King Kong has to do with Geralt?^^

Dies on top of a tower at the end? Only thing I can think of.

The topic on the Polish forum is about easter eggs.

It says that after defeating Kayran a health bar and "King Kong" sign appear above Sile for a second.

I've gone through this particular part of the game a lot, and unless this is something that happens in a single frame, no. Her ouroboros-esque tattoo flashes, but that's about it.

Sorry to confuse you, what I mean is that a healthbar appears with a name "King Kong" above it :)

At least from what those guys report in the easter egg topic.

Yes, it's the health bar of that sorceress. Finally... after recording it with gamecam and dying several times to defeat that damned Kayran again... I got a screenshot.

After you defeat the Kayran, and finished talking to Sile her health bar appears as "King Kong". Just for half a second maybe, you only see it when you really have good (or fast) eyes. ;)

Screenshot King Kong

Edit: it's not only the bar, it seems that the whole person is disappearing for that half second when the King Kong is readable. :)

LOL that's awesome, thanks for the screenshot!

Annnnd I'm instantly thinking of it as MGS2 homage. Which doesn't really make sense. But. Great Easter Egg nevertheless!

It doesn't make sense to me at all. Sile...King Kong. Then again, I'm just a dull witted sort.

I think Blothulfur got it right, she climbs a tall tower in the end and dies there... if you let her.

Could be just some sort of an obscure inside joke, though.

My newly created headcanon tells me she's one of the Patriots.

That's so inside that only the writers at CDPR would get it, but it's all cool.

Was this added in the 2.0 patch? I've never seen Sile disappear for half a second, nor have I seen any health bar above her while she walks away after that conversation, but I haven't played since 2.0.

Would you consider uploading that video? Kind of curious what it looks like in motion.

Kong means king in old german and norse (short for Kon the Younger - Konungr from the rigsthula), could point to the two royal lives weighing on her conscience.

I'm not sure, I have the PC-version and playing with the last patch (2.1 it is I think). Maybe it's not visible in the console/xbox version and a PC feature only.

And for the video: Hah! you only want to see all my deaths I did go through for this. :p
I'm sorry, but I recorded it with gamecam, and 'cause my Camtasia Studio didn't want to edit it (said something of no codec available for it) I only showed it in my Win Media Player and made that Screenshot, then deleted it.
And you don't want me to die another hundred times, do you? :D
But there are several movies on Youtube which show the Kayran fight, maybe one of the "Let's play" movies (which are normally complete, shows it. (And btw, they are fighting much better than I do. ;))

Edit: found a german one at 13:18 you can see it! , but I recommend to turn out the voice, not because the commentaries are crap, but Geralt's german voice is shit. ;)
Oh and, it's not PC-only, this guy seems to use a console.
