or you could just ignore gwent like i did... i hate shoe horned in CCG's in games...

i ignored tetra in FF8 and 9...

So was no way i was gonna fall for it in this game either... especially when its clear that stupid side game detracted from more complex in game mechanics.

Well if you've played the other Witcher games, you'd know that gambling is something Geralt does. The Gwent game in TW3 is much better than the dice from the last one. It in no way feels "shoe horned in."

... get good.

If what you're trying isn't working, change strategy.
Doing the same thing over and over expecting an alternative result is considered a sign of insanity - and Geralt doesn't know that sign.

If you want it easy, the goal is to win two of three rounds, and you need to ween your opponent as low as possible before kicking their ass.

He's tricky to beat. He uses that one card, to destroy your top card. And he uses the spy cards often, to give himself 2 more cards. Which is the one he gives you when you finally beat him.

Make sure you own every card you possibly can, up to that point in the game. Keep playing him. You will luck out and win eventually.

Yeah i managed to do it,i see some tricks now i could use but still it seems unfair that he gets those "fortunate" cards from last draw

Gwent Card definitely hard at earlier gameplay. The key to winning is by having a good point card, OFC !

-To obtain more card, buy from any merchant that sell Gwent Card, it's not expensive.
-Fight any merchant, innkeeper, bartender & blacksmith that have option to play Gwent. Each winning will give you more card, alas, the card being given are not focus filling one Race, so it would be slow building a deck.
-Eventually, you will reach a suitable card condition, which are now you will be ready challenging Unique/Important/StoryCharacter NPC on Gwent. Don't fight these people on your weak card deck.
-The Key to winning Gwent play from my point of view are limit your card on 22 per play, so the possibility drawing a card that you want to play are higher, don't just use all of your card per play.
-The terrain card can give advantage for both attacking or defending. If enemy stacking on a same row, you can beat that with the Terrain Card. But in some point, you need this Terrain card to cover your play, to avoid being burned by SCORCH card.

Has anyone beat the one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ innkeeper in Skellige? There's nothing special about him, he doesn't give a special card, but he has one amazing freaking deck. He has the cards for Ciri, Geralt, and a TON of other main characters. I have yet to beat him.

Anyway, he is the innkeeper in the town where you do the quest for Crach's daughter I believe. Called something like 'the possession,' or something like that.

Use those horns that double unit power. Use units that combine to double their power. Use spies especially against monster decks because they don't tend to have any counters.

As someone who won the gwent tournment, my advice is to bait his cards on the first round. Also get a medic card (which you will get if you just play random people) then bait his scorch card. After he exausted most of his strongest cards, you just wipe him off the board without even breaking a sweat.

Stop crying and git gud

and i have one more question i play against bloody baron and he has 13 cars at the deck once the draw is done and im left with 20 in mine,and when i try to remove some useless cards from my deck it says i must have at least 22 unit cards, what he has different rules?

The maths on that works out.

He has 13 cards in his deck, plus 10 in his hand (plus another 2 discarded?). So he has 23-25 cards in his deck, total.

You were forgetting about the special cards, which aren't counted in the 22 card requirement.

Yep... try to build a deck with several spies to get more cards, throw out the weather cards and get the decoy cards in so that when he plays spies or replays your spies against you, you can take them back and play them again.

Get the scorch cards and try to let your opponent make the game, it's easier later because you can spam your hero cards which he can't destroy so you can react to what he is doing.

If you play normal cards, especially later on, try to stay under his best unit card so he won't scorch you, which means wait with using horns or Dandelion or what not until he has a stronger unit on the field.

Get spies.

Get hero cards. My northern deck was basically: 9 heroes ( yen, triss, geralt, ciri, roche, natalis, that one king dude, philippa, mysterious elf) 3 spies (dykstra, thaler, stennis) 3 dragon reavers, 2 8 siege engines which doubled up when played together, the siege engineer with strength 5 which allowed you to draw a discarded card, and the rest of the 22 was filled with 6 siege engines. I had scorch 3 times, decoy 3 times and horn 3 times. so that's around 31 cards with a chance of 1/3 to draw a hero and 1/10 to draw a spy... usually ended up with at least 2 spies plus 2 heroes to start with... coupled with the third level of Foltest = unbeatable. Althought Nilfgaard can have a massive deck as well due to the archers, several spies and I think 11 heroes.

I love Gwent almost as much as I like the game. If Gwent were to become its own game...that we could play against eachother...im in.

After re-starting many times, I finally just gave myself extra cards via the console. So my Northern deck has 1 extra blue stripes, 2 extra spies, and 1 extra catapult on top of what you can normally buy. :)

Lol guys, he isn't losing because he's bad at Gwent. Gwent is just a pay to win game. If you win against players with the golden "Let's play Gwent" Dialogue you get op 10+ cards from them after defeat, you just need luck for your first win. Had a hard time against the Baron as well, but keep playing until you win and you get your first op card. Then it becomes easyer by the minute.

Good luck

Yes, because cheating in a game like The Witcher where it is meant to be time consuming and rewarding for doing extra exploration and quests is loads of fun right? Just explore, do side quests & treasure hunts, be patient until you have a good deck, save before each mini-game...it isn't difficult. Ya'll act like you have never played RPGs...
