HOW TO PLAY GWENT (Beginner Tutorial) - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[@ebitoro4590]

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.

[@kylemiller5178]

This man is on that real-life Gwent addiction. Next thing you know his wife will leave him because he bet his cows on a game of gwent and lost.

[@BigALBoomer]

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

[@doru.t98]

the failed quest part is so true

[@Christian-oi7sd]

Same.

[@MarisaMovies]

Same. Even went on the quest to get the cards. I’ve played about 30 games and have only won 1. It’s very demoralizing.

[@Furedonia]

@@MarisaMovies You can set the gwent difficulty to easy in options. Also it's not that bad once you learn. Just keep playing, use spy cards!

[@jessejgay1]

If I figured it out anyone can. I did and it is fun. You have to know when to lose a round to win the match. Now, if you figure out the card games in Knights of the Old republic or FFVIII let me know Haha

[@Furedonia]

@@jessejgay1 I got into Gwent shortly after that comment and its super fun and not as daunting as I thought!

[@jessejgay1]

Very odd but I began my second playthrough last night and finally started playing Gwent. The timing of this video couldn't be better.

[@CaedoGenesis]

That makes me happy, because I was considering waiting till the weekend!

[@1guygaming1]

Actually pretty close to same only getting into Gwent my second time

[@daviddawson4655]

Coincidence?

[@KurwaRomek]

Same, I made a conscious effort to boycott Gwent completely on my first playthrough... the way the very first npc I talked to in the tarvern insisted on playing pissed me off.

[@BartzMush]

I am doing exactly this 👌

[@bgm1911]

watched this video for how to play gwent, and after 10 mins, still don't know.

[@shortcake180]

Yeah. It was just too fast for me. I watched another one that was a bit slower for my slow brain. I was better able to grasp the concept and what the details on the cards meant.

[@NiallConroy]

I just want to know how to win a round 🤣

[@zevsergio1206]

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

@Kyrie Dustin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@eternalhour]

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.

[@tohuiii]

People really ignored Gwent in their first playthough? Man, in the moment that dude from the beginning tough me how to play I became addicted 😂 i remember asking every new NPC I met if they played Gwent

[@jonathandunne9662]

Gotta catch 'em all!

[@XXETU972]

The game was too confusing on my first play through so I ignored it

[@nathantarin2925]

I completely ignored the game because I remember being like, well this is a Witcher game, show me magic and blood and swords and monsters, and then you run into this little inn and a guy sits you down and makes you play a card game? 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.

[@jacksawyer3626]

Haven't even played this game yet, new to Witcher, but this seems so complicated. I wish you had a tutorial game where you actually played and described what and why you laid down the cards you play.

[@atomic_wink813]

After two or three matches u get the basic gist of it. I just got Geralt Of Rivia card like 20 mins ago lmao

[@KurwaRomek]

It's alright, the standalone game is far more complex. A couple games is enough to cover the basics

[@fungustheturd4004]

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

[@rossbrunson5894]

Dude you rule. This helped me so much. Gracias!

[@Luigii911]

I think i get it now. Thank you.

[@laanson5389]

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 .

[@DrLukeHart]

And bin off Poor F Infantry cards as soon as you can.

[@travisjones7953]

If you have the blood and wine, buy the gaunter cards asap, they are OP and then head straight for the guy in vizima and get the double siege leader card. I would say Northern Realms is top tier closely followed by nilfguard

[@MrWizeazz]

Thank you for making this. I completely ignored Gwent in my first play through, but I wanted to try it just because of how popular the card game is.

[@FeralDreamer]

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.

[@0DarkWolfSVK]

Finished the game without playing gwent. After some months I came back to play the DLCs but before that I'm clearing all quests I had left. And a lot of them were gwent. I watched this video and after like 5 tries I finally won my first game! Thank you! :)

[@arpit60]

I know I am replying to old comment. I started Witcher 3 few days back. Is learning gwent worth it? I mean is the game enjoyable?

[@0DarkWolfSVK]

@@arpit60 It was fun. I ended up doing all the gwent quests, even searching for all the cards.

[@mt_baldwin]

@@chippyxchappa its a battle of bith strategy and luck, well mostly just having good cards, like the guy said having spy cards and decoy cards help out because you will have more cards in return and its just a numbers game. Bad luck if you have all your weather cards in 1 round though

Thank you for the video. I am on my 3rd playthrough and I want to try to master Gwent instead of avoiding it. This helped a lot.

[@lewisgranger778]

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.

[@71simonforrester]

That's a good strategy, I use that one too. Occasionally lose against well played monster decks, but not very often

[@Kiko_C]

Learned it in 2 days and beaten almost all of them. I really like it. Checking this vid for additional tips.

[@LordInquisitorRumple]

Hey, thank you for this. I started The Witcher 3, ended up not playing it for a year, and then when I finally got back to it I completely forgot everything there was to know about GWENT. Put that on top of the tutorial already being confusing, your crystal clear explanation was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@sayy_gaarr]

6 playthroughs, 250+ hrs, and here I am checking Gwent tutorial.

[@jacobmcgrath3284]

One of the things I like to do is use a decoy on a medic card to redraw multiple cards

[@BaneMinistry]

nope. Got half way through the vid and gave up. Makes me feel stupid for something that should be a simple card game. Seeing other comments here tells me im not the only one, making me feel a little better. Recommended you do another vid with footage of you playing gwent, nice and slow, showing how and why.

[@opicasunka2033]

It actually is simple , just takes a while to understand how and what to do , but it is simple .

[@Ripskiis]

It's a dimensional game for sure, but not that complicated really. I've haven't even played yet and already kind of get it. You just lack patience to hear and try and comprehend what's being explained to you.

Even with this tutorial I didn’t understand anything of gwent. The last card game I played in videogame was Final Fantasy 8 cause it was easy to understand.

[@kealebogamolo6685]

I have an understanding of it but I hate when it looks like I'm about to win and the opponents last card is an OP number and I'm just left with a low number card.

[@aprilsutterfield3635]

The female armorer in Crow's Nest or whatever kicks my butt every time with her nasty monster deck! Also, iirc, I played one game and we ended up continuing to draw more cards which made it a lot easier. I must be missing something.

[@Lulzswag]

I'm still downloading the game and will be playing soon but so far the game seems easy enough. I've played Magic the Gathering since 97 though so it seems very similar.

[@mcnick3313]

Note to mention that in the Blood and Wine DLC there is another faction, Skellige. And the best card ever: Cow. Mooo

[@Ryan-kb8ui]

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

[@daviddank8285]

I first started watching since back in the Fallout New Vegas vids haha, good to see you still on YT

[@BigDaddyJinx]

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.

[@aleccross3535]

[@jmcaranguian6043]

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!

[@donaldtusk2678]

[@ScarlettSunday]

Thanks for this! I learned the hard way that after winning one match, then those cards cannot be played again. ; _ ; That's what brought me here to watch your video. Thanks~

[@MrMonkeyHat]

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

So... I have finished the main game, hearts of stone, blood and wine, I got literally every single question mark explored, every contract finished, not a single side quest left.. All on the hardest difficulty.. The only thing remaining to finish the game completly are just a few gwent related quests.. "It can't be that hard" is what I said to my self when I started playing today. I HAVE LITERALLY PLAYED 4 HOURS OF ONLY GWENT ON THE EASIEST DIFFICULTY AND HAVEN'T WON A SINGLE TIME. I actually lost my mind. I will watch literally every single gwent related video on youtube until I actually get good at the game, oponents just have 20x stronger carda than I do, for some reason. Im crying like a little baby in the coment section under a gwent tutorial video and I just hope someone will ever reply with a seceret bug strategy, that will make me win. I would skip it, but I wouldn't be able to fall asleep if I didn't have everything finished. Im weird, sorry for wasting your time reading this. :(

Dude some advice. When making a tutorial video try to make the visuals match the narrative esp when the visuals are the most important part. It makes no sense to talk about how to place the cards on the field or what cards are while showing a random match going on with no connection to what is being said. You used visuals as if they are the background score to your narrative rather than an actual help !

[@ChainedPlays]

Thank you this was super helpful

[@Fred-ju1xs]

Tip. If you're going to play, play a lot early. This gwent game gets stupidly unbalanced if you want to play later as early gwent npcs disappear from the game and you have NO ONE you can POSSIBLY win against with just the starting deck later on. And the game starts you with utter shite. No spies. No heros. tuns of weather. Nothing above 6.

[@cking4869]

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 learned that when playing against the monster deck, due to most of deck being muster cards, I stall out the opponent so that it plays all of the monster cards. Then pass the first round. Saving my most powerful card for last so that when the opponent decks out, I use my most powerful card to beat its remaining card.

I'm about 140 hours into my first playthrough. Currently still in skellige. (Spelling?) Occasionally played gwent here and there but mostly lost, so it took a back burner.

I quit playing him after he insulted me the first two times he beat me. Now...... Well, I can't play him anymore.

I knew all this from being a gwent addict myself lol. Good to see Witcher content from you though :)

[@TheLaZyGaMer_Official]

[@AyushXtha]

I love The Witcher 3 I do. I just cant seem to get the hang of this damn game no matter how many tutorials or help videos I watch. and I want too mainly because I wanna 100% this game so badly. I wish I was someone who could easily pick up this game.

I’m currently going through my first playthrough and am a level 18, I’ve ignored Gwent up until this point and I’m no longer able to get the special card from the Bloody Baron since it is no longer available for I already found his wife and daughter, I’m debating on whether to get into it but the completionist in me hates to see that X next to the Baron special card, I may go back and play it again just to do gwent but I’m going to do it on my second playthrough. I’m way too into the game to stop a mission for a card game in my honest opinion.

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 hated it until i started thinking a bit on first round focused on making opponent waste his cards passing and overpowering them in next 2 rounds can end up in 3 card advantage against them all on hard gwent difficulty

[@an0nym0us68]

Clear as mud 😂 I'm even more confused now after watching this

[@SoldierSide77]

So here's the thing: I've won against a couple NPCs now,like the quartermaster at Crow's Perch, and none of them have given me any cards. What tf am I doing wrong?

I'm loving witcher but this game is just going over my head. I only just now feel like I'm getting the hang of this game. I'm trying to avoid walkthroughs or any help but I'm tired of missing out on gwent missions. Like I'm probably losing out on experience
