The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Gwent Quests Gwent: Playing Innkeeps

Playing for (Inn) Keeps

Objective:

  • Win [the innkeeper’s] unique card.

In areas where there’s an inn—the more populated villages and towns across Velen, Novigrad, and Skellige—there is usually an innkeeper with some Gwent cards to sell. However, some innkeeps are also rather proficient at Gwent, and have a unique card to play for. Either find an inn or tavern, or a Notice Board letter requesting you to beat a top-notch opponent, and go off and challenge him.

In this example, the city of Oxenfurt is visited, and The Alchemy Tavern off the main square is the location in the game. Stjepan the barkeep is the man to be challenged. Offer to play him, beat him in a game, and you acquire his card—in this case the Yennefer of Vengerberg card. Then a subsequent innkeeper becomes available (but not until the first is defeated). The following innkeepers offer you unique Gwent cards to collect:
