The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - My Best Gwent Game Ever! (Skellige) 'Killed It' Trophy

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

Note: This was played before certain patches, so there were at one point, 5 total Blue Stripes Commando cards in the game. I believe I was playing one of the early patches for Witcher 3 that took out one of the Blue Stripes Commandos leaving 4 in the game. Normally, there should never be more than 3 of any card type in the game, and with later patches, this was addressed. So the only way to get 5 Blue Stripes Commandos would be to have a copy of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (NOT the GOTY version) and then make sure you don't have the patched game and disconnect from the internet. Play the game until you've collected all the gwent cards, then you can connect to the internet and update (I think) and still retain the cards in your deck. In this instance, if you want the expansions, you'd have to buy them digitally on PS4. I think I'd be crazy enough to do something like that.

I can't believe I cheered you on whilst watching. I can finally understand my father and brothers' reactions when watching football 😂

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

Thank you for that. Witcher 3 is one of those games I would eventually like to play for KZbin, maybe I'll do it sometime in 2020, who knows?? The question I would ask myself is how I would structure it. Would I just run around haphazardly and do random things or focus down quests with the odd exploration afterward for each episode or two? How would I play Gwent, would they be extra episodes, like 1.5's in between main episodes? There's a lot to think about here...

[@hollyleafwell2118]

@@StoneMonkWisdom maybe you can have like a weekly or twice weekly uploads, with main quests on one day and exploration/side quests/etc on another. You can even have the non-main quests at longer episodes to fit more. Just a suggestion. I just finished my game literally yesterday and even then I still haven't fully explored all of Skellige's points of interest 😂 I've done all the other maps points of interest and I wanted to explore points of interest before moving on to the main game but I got impatient 😂 Now I've finished the main game and the DLCs so I guess I'll head back to Skellige and finish those unexplored areas

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

That's awesome, which of Geralt's love interests did you pick? Yennifer or Triss? Also, what difficulty were you playing on?

[@hollyleafwell2118]

@@StoneMonkWisdom I pick Yen 98% of the time. I've only picked Triss once I think, out of curiosity. Yen's a bitch I admit but idk I find Geralt and Yen's interactions to sound and feel more organic. Sometimes Geralt looks downright awkward around Triss to me. But this is all my own preference. I've played it on sword and story mostly because I really do want the story without the frustration of combat. One of my favourite activities in the game is going around on Roach and finding random quests and/or Gwent players 😂

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

First time booting up Witcher 3, I start the game on Death March. Best and scariest decision I made in the game. Learning to dodge in the tutorial battle at the very start took a couple tries, then the level 3-4 Drowners in White Orchard started killing me. I learned a lot after twenty-something game overs.

[@robertsmall1657]

Talk about twisting the knife.

[@kaviramyead7987]

My best game was against Sasha at the Passiflora, score 2-1, won the third game (which was full of damn Scorch, lots of spies and f* weather cards) because Nilfgaard wins when there's a tie. Had a smile on my face for days.

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

Yeah, I always have a distaste for when my opponent uses a Scorch card, and I loathe when it gets used 2 or 3 times against me. Weather cards also aggravate me in this game, but not as much as Scorch. Sasha is quite formidable at the Passiflora Gwent Tournament and having spies and decoys becomes a must which prolongs the match, but also kinda makes it all the more exciting.

[@hollyleafwell2118]

I still think Sasha was my hardest opponent to beat. Idk if I was just having really bad cards but she was _difficult_ The stupid high stakes tournament took me three hours to go through, I kept having difficult hands

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

One of the best cards in the game of Gwent is certainly the Decoy card and any number of Spies provided you also have Revive effect cards. Without Decoy, and a couple Revive, Sasha can be a lot tougher to handle. Even though she retaliates with Decoy as well and her own spies.

I don't like binging sometimes, and like taking my time watching 1-2 episodes per day. I've been pleased with every single episode thus far, very entertaining, and very good indeed!

[@davidr63]

How do you get 4 of the same card when the gwent list says there's only 3

[@StoneMonkWisdom]

In earlier versions of this game, before like 1.06 to 1.09, the devs patched the game to remove one of the cards, then both of them. The save file I had for this video was when there were four Blue Stripes Commandos in the game. I mean, that's how the game released, with 5 Blue Stripes Commandos to be obtained in Witcher 3 Wild Hunt before they fixed a lot of the bugs and glitches and unintended things.

I don't typically like using Weather Cards. The only one I find useful really is Biting Frost on the off chance you face a Monsters deck but also not playing Monsters yourself. A Clear Weather card might be good in certain scenarios as well but I prefer to load up on Decoy and Commander's Horns instead. I'm not even that fond of Scorch.

I haven't played the Skellige Deck or unlocked it. I stopped playing Witcher 3 at a certain point and have not returned to it unfortunately.
