  • Gwent is the popular dwarven card game in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and not the most important thing on Geralt's mind when the game begins. This serves both as a refresher, and a beginner friendly guide in hopes that you'll know how to play by the end of the video!

    My, and I believe other players' relationship with Gwent is weird. On my first playthrough I hated it, I felt like this stupid little card game was distracting me from the hackin' and slashin' as well as the overall narrative with their complicated rules, and it had no business beating my ass when I felt like sitting down for a bit to actually try my hand at it. In addition the NPCs seemed to have better cards I had never seen, and I didn't want to spend the meager gold I had on the "normal" cards sold by inkeepers. I finally caught a break from it when I failed to win the Gwent game at the masquerade quest, but that red x in my quest list haunted me for the rest of my days as Geralt I.
    Currently on my second playthrough, I decided to grit my teeth and Git Gud at Gwent because the perfectionist in me couldn't let that "Failed" quest slide. I looked up strategies. I sold weapons for Gwent cards. Every merchant, inkeeper, armourer and blacksmith I met I challenged them before anything else (one guy tearfully mentioned losing his son to sea and I went "Yeah, but do you have time for Gwent?" and proceeded to beat him soundly). I actually haven't played the masquerade quest yet even though I'm way too overlevelled because I'm trying to build a powerful Monster deck just to be sure. My Geralt will do anything for a rare Gwent card, if the Emperor had offered to pay him for returning Ciri with a card instead of gold or a horse I'm not entirely sure he'd have refused.
    Gwent has turned me into someone I don't recognise. When once I traversed the world of the Witcher 3 to see the beautiful sights, meet interesting characters, and battle monsters of all kinds, now I only do so in pursuit of the Best Deck you could possibly make. Every interaction with a new NPC has me sitting up in my seat in hopes of a Gwent challenge. It took me a while to realise I had gotten in too deep, that I had a problem... but it's too late now.

      This is the most honest version of Gwent addiction ever. I have been playing the standalone version for a few weeks and my second playthrough of The Witcher 3 has brought me to the Bloody Baron now. Last time around I didn't even try to collect rare cards. I wish to not fail any quest this time around.

      Can I ask is it worth buying all the cards from Inn keepers and merchants. The cards are expensive and gold is quite scarce for me. Or will beating the players for one of their unique cards be enough? Also do the merchants sell duplicates as there is no way to see if you already have a card or not from the merchant menu

    Something very important that wasn't mentioned, is that there's a book which shows how many more gwent cards are available for each region. It's called "A Miraculous Guide to Gwent" and it can be obtained at the beginning in white orchard or purchased later in novigrad. Very helpful if you're trying to build full decks.

It felt a little anticlimactic, I'm going through my second walkthrough and this time I'm going into Gwen to get all the quests involving Gwent I ignored, hence why I'm in this video and now that i know what to expect i can take my time with it.

    My suggestion for those starting gwent? Play northern Realms. It’s kind of a no-Brainer of throwing spies out, decoying the enemy’s spies and tight bond cards. Also most of the essential cards can be bought or obtained naturally through challenging people who are in the early game such as the Baron and a few innkeeps .

  • @fungustheturd4004
    @fungustheturd4004 2 роки тому +36

    Some tips for you guys:
    1- Fuck weather cards: if you don’t find it necessary for dealing with certain opponents dont have any weather cards on your deck since they can become 4 cards on your hand making your offense capabilities very low. If you don’t want to deal with opponents who use them use the Northerns deck with the second Foltest leader who clears the weather whenever you want and without wasting one card in your hand.
    2- SPIES SPIES SPIES: Find spy cards as fast as you can and if you don’t, have as many of decoys as you can for you to steal one from your opponent if he uses it
    3- Accept to throw one round: If you have spies in your hand use the first round to use them and increase the number os cards in your hand and maybe throw some weak unit cards to make the opponent waste cards and make him defenseless by the end of the second round
    4- Watch out for Scorch: Try playing safe by putting a somehow strong card on the field and lure your opponent to waste a scorch card on him and then you can begin stacking a line with units and a cammander’s horn
    5- Always have heroes on your deck: Heroes are immune to any effect and mostly they provide a lot of points
    6- By the end of the game you will probably have a lot of heroes, healers and spy cards, make sure to remove cards that don’t have any ability and offer less then 9 points, they will only occupy your hand and make you lose the opportunity to have two spies at their place, always try to keep the lowest quantity of card in your deck to make it more possible that you begin with a strong hand
    7- Monster decks: avoid them at the begging since they are very hard to handle as a beginner and keep in mind that you will not have a descent monster deck until you reach Skellige Islands. If you happen to have enough cards for one make sure that you have the most of copies of Muster cards since they are the base for the deck being very strong. And remember my tip about scorch because a single scorch card can f*ck up your strategy with this deck

    @FeralDreamer 4 роки тому +43

    Great video! I would also add that the hero cards (those with the gold border), can't be effected by other cards. Weather effects won't lower their power, you won't be able to pick them up with decoys, and horns won't double their power. It's something that frustrated me a great deal but became a great strategy in later games. For example a mysterious elf can be put down as a zero power spy, but can't be picked up or revived from the graveyard. Another strategy that is super beneficial is with the gather cards, if you have for example 2 Gaunther cards in your hand, always redraw one as it will be taken from your hand anyway when playing and will cause you to lose an extra card. Hand size is crucial. You can and at some point will win by one card, so reducing your hand by one or two because you threw down a gather card is not great. To piggyback on that. If your opponent passes, play as little cards as you can to beat his power. Or if you are leading anyway, just pass and win the round. Hand management is a key strategy. Anyway, the video was very informative and I would have loved something like that when I started playing Gwent, but these are the things that I wished I also knew when just starting.

    I play northern realms deck with 3 decoys and 1 frost card because I use the foltest clear weather card to mitigate opponents weather cards and the frost card is good for playing against monster decks. For monsters I just usually let them play all the their muster cards and just play spies and let them win the first round so their mjster cards are gone. I never play with more than 1 weather card.

    I can't believe back in 2015, I knew the ins and outs of this game to where I was good, really good. I'd make a point to travel far and wide when I heard about a gwent player npc to go and get a new card when I beat them. I recently started playing hearthstone again after a 5 year hiatus and I just downloaded gwent and I'm totally lost, but I remember it being so much fun I want to get back into it. One feature I wish they could add is somehow linking the standalone gwent game with the collection you've gathered from the Witcher 3 gwent. Good video though, I'll probably have to watch it at least 4 more times before I understand

    Villentretenmerth mixed with decoy can be devastating to monster decks late in the round. Playing the card and killing off 3-4 cards, then playing a decoy and then playing it again to take out more units.
    I also like to mix it with a medic card to bring it back on rounds 2 and 3

  • @BigDaddyJinx
    @BigDaddyJinx Рік тому +1

    Worthy of note is that, right off the bat playing Gwent will be very frustrating as you don't have a lot to work with, so buying new cards and padding your deck a bit before challenging for unique cards is a must-do move. When I first started playing Gwent I hated it because yours odds of winning with such a vanilla deck are pretty slim. Buy some from merchants and innkeepers and pad them a bit and you're off to the races and you'll now need to rely on your strategy.

    @danboxall4762 7 днів тому

    I came here after playing (and losing) my first game in white orchard. I won the first round, but after that I had no cards left apart from weather cards. On the second round the opponent immediately passed, and since I had no cards I did too. Because he had nilfgardian deck, he automatically won the draw. And the same thing happened on the third round.
    So I don’t understand how I can possibly win? All he needs to do is keep laying cards down. Since I don’t know what cards he has, i have to keep laying cards too. Then once we’re both out of cards he’ll just win by drawing?

    I feel like the tutorial is pretty bad for Gwent. The first time I tried it, both me and the npc just placed down all of our cards first round, because I really don't see the point in a strategic loss if your just continuing with pretty much the same cards next round, and I won, but then for the next 2 rounds neither of us had any power at all, and it just defaulted to me losing for some reason. It seems like there's much more strategy later on, but just starting out there doesn't seem to be any

    I used to *really* suck at Gwent. Played my first entire playthrough (NG+ included) without winning even once, at which point I gave up.
    Then I saw this video early during my second playthrough (after the Baron's death, unfortunately; I liked him but I valued the children's lives more). Took a couple of tips to heart, lost some more games but slowly learned. And now I'm just a few cards away from being able to use two other factions!
    Thank you for this! I believe there are more tips you can give out if you ever think about making a second video, strategies I learned as I went. Nevertheless, GOOD JOB AND THANKS AGAIN!

I’m way too into the game to stop a mission for a card game in my honest opinion.

    I'm old (late 50s) and therefore have of course never played, or watched being played, a deck building type game. This also means that this card game genre is simply beyond my brain's ability to comprehend.
    That said, is there any in-game way to get advice or hints on what to do while playing Gwent?

    I really dont get it. This video is close to perfect as a basic tutorial. I’m lvl 24 of my 1st play, just started gwent to complete some quests, and honestly i deduced everything you said on my own, before coming here (it’s not that complicated)But still. I’ve played 48 games with 4 different NPC and lost 47 times (that one win was pure luck). And i really dont get why. I’ve tried around 10 different strategy for each opponent, and that MF always wins no matter what. I wish i could ignore that shit but i cant, if it’s in my quest list i have to do it. God i loved this game so much so far. Even in 2021. Then fucking gwent happened. I have a lot of respect for the ones who love this game, no problem. But i’m not used to staying a piece of shit a something when i dont want to be. If im missing something (else than IQ points, im afraid i cant do shit about that sadly) please let me know. The only problem i see is my lack of « good » cards. But can it be THAT problematic ?

Now I'm trying to get into it. My weak ass deck doesn't stand a chance against these monster decks! I've lost to almost everyone I can possibly lose to. Too bad I missed the Baron card.
