Baron Phillip Strenger (Northern Realms Deck)

After reading about a local Gwent group, first on your “to fleece” list is the Bloody Baron himself; you’ll find him in his main hall, in the upper stronghold at Crow’s Perch. However, if you started Secondary Quest: Return to Crookback Bog, finish this up first, and once the Baron has met his fate, look for a tiny chest on a sideboard in the hall instead, which has notes of who is next to face. Whether you challenge the Baron or not, you receive the following card, and the ability to challenge both the Old Sage of Benek, and the Boatmaker of Oreton.

OLD SAGE: THE SOOTHSAYER SUBMITS

Objective:

  • Win a unique card from the soothsayer.

Journey to the eastern hamlet of Benek, and locate the Old Sage sitting outside his cottage. Bring some food with you in case the geezer requests some sustenance. The Old Sage has a quest

(Secondary Quest: The Truth is in the Stars), but it doesn’t need to be completed first. Challenge him and secure the following from his Monster deck. Then you can challenge Haddy.

Items: Gwent Card: Crone: Weavess (Monster Deck)

BOATWRIGHT: DON’T BET ON THE BLACK ONES

Objective:

  • Win a unique card from the man in Oreton.
Boatwright (Nilfgaardian Empire Deck)

In southern Velen, on the northern shore of Lake Wyndamer, is a Boatwright who’s happy to challenge you to a Gwent battle. Perhaps it’s the Black Ones who have commandeered the village that persuaded him to pick a Nilfgaardian Empire deck? It matters not; claim victory and the following card. At this point, you can also challenge Haddy.

Items: Gwent Card: Letho of Gulet (Nilfgaardian Empire Deck)

HADDY THE CARD PRODIGY: HADDY-NUFF YET?

Objective:

  • Win a unique card from Haddy of Midcopse.
Haddy (Northern Realms Deck)

To the west, in the village of Midcopse (where you first set eyes upon Keira Metz), there’s talk of a child prodigy, and sure enough, you find him playing in the grass on the south side of the village. Challenge Haddy to a game of Gwent, and better him to obtain his unique card. You also receive an Eredin Leader card for completing this quest too (usually from Haddy, or from the Old Sage or Boatwright if you didn’t challenge these players in the order shown).

Items: Gwent Card: Vernon Roche (Northern Realms Deck), Gwent Card: Eredin: Bringer of Death (Monster Deck; for completing quest)
