Whilst going through my most recent playthrough of Witcher 3 in order to make my Death March walkthrough, I made a manual save before taking on the 'High Stakes’ Gwent tournament.
This tournament is difficult and probably features the best Gwent opponents in Witcher 3, so I always relish the challenge.
This series of videos features me beating High Stakes with each of the 5 decks available. The play isn't perfect each time, but considering that the Gwent difficulty is set to 'Hard’, I think they're solid illustrations of how to use each deck. Interestingly you can see that the opponents don't always make perfect plays even with the Gwent difficulty set to Hard. For example, the Scoia'tael player should have used the leader ability to Scorch the 3x Blue Stripes Commandos in Round 1 of the 3rd match, but just didn't for whatever reason.
I lost to the Northern Realms halfling when using my own Northern Realms, Monster and Skellige decks, although I have completed High Stakes with no losses using both the Northern Realms and Skellige decks on previous playthroughs.
This time round I won straight through on the Nilfgaardian and Scoia'tael deck tournament playthroughs.
I hope you enjoy the videos; please like, comment and subscribe for more Witcher 3 content!
