Gwent: Velen Players Walkthrough

Gwent: Velen Players is a side quest in The Witcher 3 that challenges Geralt to defeat a series of Gwent opponents scattered throughout the Velen region. This quest is essential for expanding your Gwent card collection and mastering the game's mechanics. Successfully winning against these players will grant you valuable cards and progress your journey as a Gwent master.

To begin 'Gwent: Velen Players,' you'll need to find a notice on a notice board in Velen, typically in a settlement like Crow's Perch or Oxenfurt, that advertises a Gwent tournament or mentions skilled players in the area. Once you accept the quest, the game will mark the locations of the players you need to challenge on your map.

Your opponents will be found in various locations across Velen. Key players include the Baron's men at Crow's Perch, a merchant in Oxenfurt, and other notable individuals. Each player will have a unique Gwent deck, often reflecting the Northern Realms faction, which is known for its strong unit cards and spy abilities. It's highly recommended to build a robust Northern Realms deck before embarking on this quest.

When challenging each player, remember to save your game beforehand. Losing a match might require you to wait for a specific in-game time for a rematch, or in some cases, miss out on obtaining a unique card. Pay close attention to the cards your opponents play and adapt your strategy accordingly. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the Northern Realms deck, such as using spies to gain card advantage and then winning the round with powerful units, is crucial for victory.

Strategy: Focus on winning the first round to force your opponent to commit more cards, then win the second round to secure victory, leaving them with fewer options for the final round.
