Gwent 575 (554 single round) -- Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 11. 2015
- Gwent high score round of 554, played on PS4 and max difficulty setting.
Round 1: Geralt wins passively (0 points wasted)
Round 2: Geralt wins playing all cards in the winning round (554 points)
Since it is a best-of-3, and Geralt won 2 rounds, there is no Round 3.
Question: why not Horn on front row? Answer: Dandelion/Jaskier card already applies Horn effect.
Question: did you lose Round 3? Answer: Geralt won both rounds and the game is over.
Question: how to get five Blue Stripe commandos? Initially only 3 were available. When patch v1.1 arrived for the first DLC, it was possible to get 5 for some time. About a year later, CDPR patched it back to 3 maximum. So it's no longer possible to get 5 Blue Stripes if your game has the latest patches.
The strategy I used is the same as my previous 465 point run using vanilla cards, except here I use some better cards only available in paid DLC. The theoretical max is 594 points if Geralt gets lucky enough to collect all "spies" on his side of the board. To get a very high score you must play on max difficulty because the opponent has more spies and decoys than lower difficulties, and the opponent having better cards actually help you get a higher score overall.
The basic idea of get very high scores is to play spies and decoys to resurrect cards, and play much more than the typical maximum of 10 cards (you can play up to 34 cards with Nilfgaard deck). You also want to win a round by wasting very few points, and then win a round by using all of your cards for a big score. The best opponent is Sasha in Passiflora in Novigrad since she has 4 spies, 3 decoys, and 4 medics, which keeps the round alive for a long time. She also has 3 scorch cards, but you can be clever about what cards you play and in what order to prevent her AI from using them.
Getting 500+ takes many attempts because you need a few things to work out just right:
1. craft a deck that is possible to extract fully. The Nilfgaard and Northern Realms decks can both extract 30+ cards using spies, decoys and medics.
2. the four Gaunter cards summons are worth big points, but you must draw Gaunter before any of his three Summons. For each summon you draw before Gaunter, you "lose" a card. It is just luck to draw Gaunter first. A safer tactic is to ignore these four cards and use Trebuchets, less reliant on luck but lowers the theoretical max score to 578.
3. need to manipulate the opponent AI into feeding you spies. Sasha has many spies and decoys, and can Steal one card. Use these for your own benefit let Sasha recycle spies so that you can use them yourself.
4. spies are worth points and you want them to be on your half of the board at the end. There are 8 spies in this match and six are worth points. In this video I only got 2/6 spies, which is not good. There are tricks to manipulating Sasha into feeding you spies, such as inviting her to Steal a spy from your discard pile, scorching her spies, and generally ensuring that she uses her Medic cards on spies and not anything else.
Note that although Sasha has 3 scorches, she has no bad Weather effect cards. You can avoid the scorches by playing low point cards first so that a scorch would hurt her. She will not play it. If you've already beaten the Tournament quest, it's still possible to score 490+ rounds against random end-game merchants who use Nilfgaard decks. - Hry
imagine this in real life, the nilfgaard player just sat there watching him place 50 cards on the table
In real life a Nilfgaard player probably wouldn't use all of its spies and then pass. It's a quirk of the AI to do that and it's usually a bad tactic since it means you're using up your turns while the opponent is not using any turns. The best time to play a spy is as a do-nothing-turn to force the opponent to make an action. In real life there would probably be more weather cards used, too!
AI is kind of dumb, villentretenmirth could've wrecked your blue stripes commando set (if she hadn't passed) but she bombs it at such an early point
+nickolas474 but she doesn't know what I have and I purposely populate the combat row last to trick her into wasting it. of course I would still win even if she scorches the commandos, except with a smaller margin
AFGuidesHD if this was real life when he passed like a dumbass in the first round the opponent would've just place 1 card and won the round instead of throwing it with all those spies, which were much better if they were played the next round.
Not an easy feat, out-spying a Nilfgaardian
Stop, stop its already dead
it's not
Hollow he meant his opponent
fuuu I thought he meant Gwent and I was triggered :D :D
lul
I think he is referring to the achievement 'Killed It' where you have to win with a total of at least 187 points.
Gwent is the game of the decade, the RPG side quest is cool too I guess
Are you telling me that there is a questing game that comes with my Gwent game ??

i was just waiting for the opponent to use a scorch card at the end
Ruchi Arora omg that would hella kill geralt
Id cry
That’s why he didn’t go ham until the last
If he used the scorch card, he would’ve discarded his own 2 20 rated cards on ranged combat.
Ruchi Arora yeah no fair. She always pull 2 or more on me. She fucks me up every time
And this is why Nilfgaard vs Northerns is always spies fight
So is Nilfgaard vs Nilfgaard and NR vs NR :)
@ alexpenev Is this the highest score you've ever gotten in gwent? My top score doesn't even come close. :(
Roodi djikstra vs vattier de rideax
210+ With Monster Deck
I managed to get a 380 score with Northerns once, that was as high as I got though
You were so lucky that the NPC never played at least one weather card. Normally they stick to them till the end and hit you exactly were it hurts most.
I don't think she carries any weather cards (she prefers Scorches), but in general the idea is to save your power cards for last so she is usually leading, therefore playing weather would be bad for her. Look again and you'll notice that she's usually in the lead, until the end. Playing weather, even scorch, in most of her turns would hurt her own points more than mine, so she doesn't do it.
Not really as long as you keep one card higher than all the others
Weather cards shit me
Jan K. Clear weather foltest is the best one because of that.

It's insane how CD PR made probably the greatest minigame ever put into a videogame. How many minigames can say they incented the creation of their own standalone game? Personally I prefer the in-game Witcher 3 version of Gwent, and I don't even know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
A minigame for Warcraft gave the incentive to create World of Warcraft. So yeah.
Connor Sutcliffe yeah I don't get why the stand alone wasn't just like the in game one, i enjoyed the in game one much more as well
Connor Sutcliffe i 100% agree with you. the in-game gwent is much more simple, quick and direct. its an abstract game card unlike the spin-off gwent game which is another copy of hearthstone with lots of unnecessary details and animations, nothing more.
I prefer witcher 3 version as well. the standalone is way too complex. I love the simplicity of the minigame more.
Arcomage from Might and Magic is an awesome minigame too.
That sound effect with the Blue Stripes Commando when it stacks, so satisfying.

I remember once I had a game with a merchant, he had Nilf and I had NR. lets just say I ended up with 21 fkin cards at round 2, that was the best moment of my life xD
***** No secret ingredients are decoys and cards that bring used cards back to board. The real game changer.

spy, decoys and medics and have your deck to 22 cards you'll win most games far too easily.

I recently tried to do this quest and watching this game made me realize I need to go find many more decoys, Spies, and commandos before I do the gwent tournament.
Nah bro I won pretty early on yes I had to save before each match and this damn bitch took 20 tries but eventually some luck rng for the cards and strategy knowing how the Ai likes to play and I beat her. The next 2 people I couldn’t save the game before fighting them but by the luck of rng I won first try
@@santi_super_stunts2573 I hear everyone saying that Sasha is the hardest opponent, didnt even touch gwent in my first playthrough as i heard you dont keep your cards in NG+ but thought I would give it a try and won on my first try in NG+, didnt even get to skellige before playing the tourney. Probably just a lucky draw against an unlucky draw, but still made me think whats all the fuss about lol
@@eduardspoljar6764 maybe u didn’t get her with a lot of spies in her deck. She is an asshole cause she either has really good cards or spies. So is she starts with spies she uses them to get really good cards. If she stars with hood cards she just has good cards
@@eduardspoljar6764 I will admit I did kindof save scum it in my recent playthrough

John Dough yep
No you dont. Imagine playing Gwent except now everyone spams spy cards in every single match.

That was righteous. My record is 328 and I thought I was hot shit
hah I've gotten over 150 one time and I was like "omg im gwent master" now I know I actually suck and am dumb
cycopl just leave hero cards, spies and all cards with special effects (northern realms) minus those 1 point cards and you will run a train against every opponent, win a tournament without any problem (considering you have collected all northern realm and special - non faction cards of course). put 3x decoy and 2x commander's horn and Foltest's ability to clear weather effects. you should be by 27 cards in deck, 9 heroes (without cards from expansions). You probably won't get so many points but believe me - you don't need it, NPCs don't score that high (never did in my game at least) and the only trophy/achievement is for scoring 187+ which you can do easly with the deck I described here :)
My record is 490. This really hurts my feelings.
Tom Riddle mine is 25
I can relate O_O
I wish there was a multiplayer version of this normal gwent, the one they did online with 2 rows feels like a completely different thing
You could always buy the physical cards and play them with friends
@@heroofhyrule6970 i have them😂
You can't have a multiplayer game on gwent because everyone will have the same deck. What's the point of it when everyone will have the same deck ? The winner will be the guy who plays first
@@lavey9163 where did you buy them?
Are they any good? I can't find anything official...
@@thirday8421 i have 2 of them but can only Use one. Looks Like big Luck because i bought them on eBay. Only Problem is they cost 120€ per set and they Sold 2 . Including all fractions and Gameboard.
And right after you finish hitting all your blue stripes to the table, the opponent uses his scorch. That feeling.
Every.Fucking.Time
And i am happy when i hit 100, haha

lol im happy that i won versus the damn baron xD
@@youngspunky2835 I think I was so lucky, he had 4 cards left and was losing, and still just skipped the round and let me win. Even those poor random merchant guys put more of a fight and use all they climate cards at the end xd

554 omfg
Anybody who's played Gwent knows what a milestone a score like that truly is
I only had 150-200.
Love that moment when your opponent passes and you're about to truly tear them a new one
how do you have 5 blue stripes?
Initially only 3 were available. 5 were available after patch 1.10, an early patch that came out just before Hearts of Stone DLC. I've heard some players say that recently CDPR has limited them back to 3, but I haven't the game played recently to verify this.
OK thanks I'll see if I can get some random ones yet
i indeed remember having 4, but that was on an old playthrough i don't have anymore, on my current i have 3
Same here, only three on my latest playthrough last week.
Yep I only got 3 total also
Now here's the real challenge to the gwent players: Beat the nilfgardian royal the first time you would meet him
Been there, done that :D
*honestly not that hard*
Andrew Brown I struggled more the the person that teaches you gwent
Round 2 begins:
"omae wa mou shindeiru!"
Such a great game with a really good open world mini game as well
thank god for the gwent standalone game. I really hope they let me in the beta access.
Northen realms won me all games through Witcher 3. Lul
Raxo anything but NR or a pimped out Scoia'Tael is worthless
FOR TEMERIA BITCHES!
@@ayylmao8375 I personally like the monsters deck a lot, especially the strategy that goes like, play all heroes and artillery you have, reserving the summon units and such and a horn, or use double strength melee Eredin as commander, and feel out the first round. If you can, you should also grab any spies the enemy throws at you. Then, simply throw down all the summon melee cards, and use Horn. If the enemy doesn't do a Frost--->Villentretenmerth, you've basically won that round with only 2-3 plays.
That's what I pretty much used the entire game plus the dlcs except for the parts that required me to use specific decks.
NR deck is my favourite. I started with it to get used to it but now can't change my deck.

Man, those constant Pot of Greeds were insane. Although, I'm still confused on what that card exactly does.

Pot of Greed allows you to draw two additional cards.

What an absolute massacre at the end. Well done.
spies are so much op.
I regret not playing my first play through now I understand the combos you can make and all
That one Moment your enemie just passed and your cool laying all the rest of your hand, shortly before you just noticed, there is one more round ....

And here I'm celebrating my ~100 scores :D Thx you for destroying my hopes and dreams xD
What's the 5 point comrade range guy? He does it so quickly I can't see the name.
lol i despised gwent cuz ib the beggining of the game, your deck is absolute shite.
and then i bought some cards from random merchants ... lets just say, now, i think gwent should be a national "sport"
My first game was accidentally joining the tournament with a Skellige deck in the dlc. Needless to say I'm traumatized.
how did u get 5 blue stripes?
2 extra became available after patch 1.1. the same merchants sold them a second time.
Which makes it a glitch win then. Merchants aren't supposed to restock cards.
Mostly correct. The extra cards weren't originally there and somehow ended up there after the HoS mega-patch. Tons of players have got 5 of them since they were easy to find/purchase.
I'm not sure that the second statement is strictly correct. IIRC you could buy multiple Decoys from one merchant instead of visiting three merchants separately, and it would just cause the other two merchants not to sell you extras. In a sense he "restocked" by taking the card away from another merchant's stock. This glitch may have something to do with that, since you can only buy 2 extras instead of 3 extras.
I have 5 I also had a toad monster card before I got the dlc after getting the dlc I now have 2 toads
alexpenev This is why I quit the game after going to ng+ and losing them babes.
This is the content i’m craving for
A game of spies through and through. Love it.
That was beautiful
This is my favorite thing to do in gwent. Just absolutely go overkill on opponents for no reason
Wow ! That was the best deck I have seen till date
Dude... This is absolutely best match I've ever seen.
I can proudly say that after multiple attempts with well placed saves, I completed this quest at level 12! I'm wondering if it scales somewhat or if I just got lucky a few times and my opponents simply got bad hands and I on the other hand got decent ones.
Gwent doesn't scale. You can complete the Gwent decks (minus story-related unique cards) at any point in the game after you've left White Orchard.
There's a setting for Gwent difficulty in the options though.
It most definitely is ai being stupid or not having good cards for most of the time. It's even worse for the dlc tournament cause the newest faction has no spies and has to heavily rely on rng to be good
that was pretty brutal
weather cards: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Thats why you get morale boost cards
Considering I lose everytime I play anyone that is the best thing I have seen in the past 20 years in a video game. You did that like a boss
5x Blue Stripes? i got the achievement for earning all cards and im not aware of that?
I know this is necro but on a previous patch you could get up to 5 which is pretty OP so they changed it
Cerys and her sheild maidens is also a good play. But seeing 5 commandos makes me want 5 catapults
Darn the last 30 sec is soo satisfying to watch
A wearer of the spectacles, I see your a man of culture.
I'm guessing he sold his armor for the spectacle...
Worth it,,😂😂😂
My gwent cards look different did they get reskinned
There is a free dlc that changes the look of most of them.
Gwent should be an online game. VS Friends, Strangers and have leaderboards
it will, haven't you seen the trailer?
I posted this since May lol. It only got announced at E3 in June
