Popular Post SooFany-R Posted May 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Since no one who got this trophy decided to guide the rest of us for these cards, I'll try to make things easier for you. After finishing my 2nd speed playthrough for gwent cards I decided to make this topic, so you guys will know exactly which cards you need to look for and where. You don't need to have all duplicates. You need to have each card at least once. Cards like Ghoul which have Muster means that you need to have all 3 cards from this Ghoul 'subgroup'. I hope that makes everything clear. You have to look for merchants and innkeepers in order to buy cards from them. Blacksmiths and armorers will never sell cards but most of them will play with you. You don't have to play with every single merchant/innkeeper/smith in order to get other random cards because this game has more NPC's who are willing to play with you rather than random cards. You will know that you got every random card when they will give you literaly nothing for winning. A tip from dalailama1989: "...to get some of the random-won-cards a little earlier: Before you play a merchant/innkeeper you haven't beaten yet, make a manual safegame. If your reward is a duplicate card which you don't need, reload and play again." Tip from HellbornHunter: "When you go to arinbjorn make sure to talk to the inkeeper before having a drink with jorund and starting the contract because if you don't the inkeeper might glitch and you won't be able to buy the cards he sells (thaler and some of the monsters)." White Orchard 1) Buy all cards from Elsa, the first and only Innkeeper in White Orchard. (MISSABLE) 2) Win the tutorial match of Gwent. Velen/Novigraad 3) Gwent: Playing Inkeepers (you will get this mission from a noticeboard or by playing with the first inkeeper from this quest) 4) Gwent: Velen Players (the starting NPC I believe is Baron in Crow's Perch) 5) Gwent: Big City Players (one of the notice boards in Novigrad) 6) Zoltan Chivay will give you a quest "A Dangerous Game". Once you get all there cards, make sure that you keep cards instead of money. (MISSABLE) 7) Gwent: Old Pals - This one is tricky. You start this mission after defeating Zoltan Chivay who is located near Rosemary and Thyme. At some point you will need to play against Lambert. In order to find Lambert you must finish a side quest "Following the Thread". After killing Ekimmara and finishing this side quest Lambert will give you a new quest. Acept and finish it. After you finish this quest talk to Lambert straight away before he goes to Kaer Morhen. If he goes there and you don't have fast travel just play the story line quickly until you get Uma. (MISSABLE) Here is a tip from JoaoMXN: "if you don't play Gwent with Lambert before he go to Kaer Morhen (according to the game) you can still meet him at "The Nowhere Inn". He appear on the place even if the map points to Kaer Morhen." http://i.imgur.com/h50EaL4.jpg 8) Do Triss Merigold's side quest "A Matter of Life and Death". Once you reached the ball, head to the only exclamation mark on your map and play against three players in order to get their cards. (MISSABLE) 9) Gwent: Playing Thaler. In order to find Thaler, you will need to finish side story of Triss Merigold. Dijkstra will give you "A Deadly Plot" side quest. Follow this quest until you find and free Thaler. Play against him before he leaves. (MISSABLE) 10) Puttkammer and Sweers cards can be bought from Merchant in Claywich. In order for this merchant to appear you need to free him from bandits. The bandit camp is located to the East from Boatmaker's Hut (At the centre of the big island) in Velen. Skellige 11) Gwent: Skellige Style. Find a notice board and get this quest. In order to play against Gremist you need to finish "Practicum in Advanced Alchemy". 12) There is a druid-questgiver near the previous location who gives you "Shock Therapy" side quest. Finishing this quest will get you another hero card. Hope this helps. I will add if I find that I missed something.

Saltyie Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not sure if 2) is missable, as the card reward is a generic one that can be gotten from any other small vendor. Good list though, 8) is the most easily missed, I hadn't gotten into Gwent at that point so I bypassed the quest, I wish I didn't now You need 120/199 (?) cards, as I believe 79 are duplicates. I'm on 109/120, but will have to start a new playthrough to get the Vegelbud Ball ones ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basherzz-789 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yo, thanks a bunch man! Been looking for a good guide but to have a clear one from someone who actually has the trophy is super useful. Gonna make my life a lot easier ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarcissusBaz Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks a lot! I finished Death March yesterday and only need gwent trophies for platinum. I've been gathering lists of cards and tips, so this is VERY useful, as I'm about to do my second playghtrough (speedrun for cards only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I missed Elsa instead - Atleast her cards are getting patched back in with update 1.04 Congrats on the platinum though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Could've done it earlier but thanks to Gwent. Although I enjoy Gwent a lot, but I dislike huge missable trophies.

prtm_217 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Is there any other way to get the cards rewarded to you in the Gwent tournament? I failed the quest and I don't have a back up save..... And do those include in the 120 cards needed for this trophy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarcissusBaz Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I failed the quest and I don't have a back up save..... If you haven't gone far enough, there are at least 3 auto-saves you can check. If you've done something else after losing the tournament, these auto-saves are probably ovewritten now... and yes, you need to win these cards for the trophy.

RNGhost Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I can't buy the 2 cards from merchant in Claywitch because i cannot free him...The key doesn't drop i try 3 times and nothing,is there anny other way to get these 2 cards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually no idea how to help you with this. Did you search everywhere in that camp? Maybe it is in one of the boxes and it is not hold by a bandit. If these are the only cards you are missing then just keep retrying. Hope you will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoketheevilpipe Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 1) is only missable right now on Consoles. Once PS4 gets 1.04 it will no loner be missable. http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/37276-MISSING-ELSA-White-Orchard-Innerkeper?p=1678553 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarcissusBaz Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've just completed my speedrun and only need one more random card for platinum (Wyvern - can't seem to drop it no matter what, I've reloaded the same match dozens of times). BTW SooFany-R your tips were the best thing I found online so far. Helped me a lot! To everyone else - if you're going to do a speedrun for cards, brace yourself - you have to go pretty far in the main plot! To be specific, you have to finish the main quest called Echoes of the Past (Skellige). That's when you unlock druid Ermion as a playable opponent (Gwent: Skellige Style quest). When the quest ends, tell Yen to go without you - the druid is standing a few meters away! Another thing: for the Gwent: Skellige Style quest you'll have to do a side-quest called Practicum (...), as SooFany-R mentioned. Unfortunately, the quest level is HIGH AF. If you speedrun the game, your level will be too low for this quest and you'll see red skulls over enemies - a certain death. But don't worry, it's doable. The hardest enemies in this quest are Foglets. Don't fight them, just roll around and avoid their attacks - the NPC's dog is op as hell and will kill them Have fun!

HellbornHunter Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 When you go to arinbjorn make sure to talk to the inkeeper before having a drink with jorund and starting the contract because if you don't the inkeeper might glitch and you won't be able to buy the cards he sells (thaler and some of the monsters). The white orchard inkeeper kept me from getting platinum on my first playthrough and this guy kept me from it on my second, I think I'm going to wait for a patch instead of starting a third.

I try about 20 times and don't find the key in anywhere.So i start a new game beat the griffin and run to release the merchant and i get on the first try by killing the leader...I believe this is a glitch of the game so now im on 3rd playtrough getting all the cards again .

I am glad that it proved useful in practice. If I recall correctly I bought Wyvern card along with some Nekkers and other monster faction cards. If you can still win cards then keep doing it. If you receive nothing after winning a new merchant/smith/herbalist then it is definetly sold by one of the merchants on Skellige. When you go to arinbjorn make sure to talk to the inkeeper before having a drink with jorund and starting the contract because if you don't the inkeeper might glitch and you won't be able to buy the cards he sells (thaler and some of the monsters).

Hmm, never glitched on me but I went for gwent cards on my 2nd playthrough. Did you try to return to him after meditating for couple of days? The patch is going to fix Elsa's cards, but not this one. I try about 20 times and don't find the key in anywhere.So i start a new game beat the griffin and run to release the merchant and i get on the first try by killing the leader...I believe this is a glitch of the game so now im on 3rd playtrough getting all the cards again . Well, playing this game for the third time is going to be very unpleasant experience but I hope this will be your last playthrough for these cards. Good luck.

dalailama1989 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) I couldn't play against Lambert at any time. Got the Nekker-card from the guy you are supposed to kill in his mission (looted his body). Now Lambert sits in the Nowhere Inn, but I can only speak one sentence with him. There is nothing else to miss there with Lambert, is there? Edit: Got his special Card now (Triss), hadn't begun the Gwent: Old Pals quest. When I did, I could play against Lambert. Luckily, I always have 3 manual savegames Got all random cards now - Wyvern was also the last one for me. But I only got 2 Rain and 2 Good Weather cards, although you should be able to win the remaining ones. But I don't get cards for winning against "new" people.

Did you try to return to him after meditating for couple of days? The patch is going to fix Elsa's cards, but not this one. Nothing gets him to start talking, I've tried everything from meditating to restarting the game and even standing on the bar, the man just doesn't want to talk. I guess I'll just go back to my first playthrough and pick up the cards from elsa's replacement once the patch releases, but if they're not fixing this bug in the patch I suggest anyone who hasn't talked to him yet just plays it safe and does so before starting the bar fight.
