The Gwentlefolk Of Skellige

ARD SKELLIG: KAER TROLDE (NORTH)

Ermion the Druid of Kaer Trolde

Read the Gwent notice on the board in Kaer Trolde Harbor, and visit Ermion; your first veteran Gwent player on Ard Skellig. Challenge him and win to secure the Leshen card. Crach an Craite is next!

Jarl Crach an Craite of Kaer Trolde

After beating Ermion the druid at a game of Gwent (find him in Kaer Trolde, at Gedyneith, or near the Druid’s Camp depending on your questing), head to Kaer Trolde and challenge Crach himself. Win, and you secure another spectacular Gwent card! Sjusta the Tailor of Kaer Trolde is next!

Jarl “Madman” Lugos of Kaer Muire

Do gulls shit off cliffs? Of course Lugos knows this game! Once you’ve beaten Ermion, Crach, Sjusta, and Gremist, you’re ready for the most proficient player in all of Skellige! Win against him, and take his Katakan card, and the White Flame card for completing the quest. Is Lugos “indisposed”? Then try searching his bedroom at Kaer Muire for the card.

The Journeyman Armorer of Kaer Trolde

Keen to know what has happened to a family member, but just as anxious to take you down in a game of Gwent; don’t let that happen!

The Journeyman Blacksmith of Kaer Trolde

Though he sometimes keeps odd hours (Meditate to midday if he isn’t speaking to you), the blacksmith sharing the battlements with the armorer is also a keen Gwent player.

Jonas the Innkeep of the New Port Inn

What smells so delicious? Cooked chicken and pork for sale, but the real prizes are four Gwent cards, and another if you challenge and beat Jonas in a Gwent bout.

The Herbalist of Kaer Trolde Harbor

With a well-stocked shop, the Skelliger herbalist can also pass the time with you by challenging you to a round or two of Gwent.

Sjusta the Tailor of Kaer Trolde Harbor

After beating both Ermion and Crach an Craite at Gwent, seek out this portly tailor in the lower harbor area of Kaer Trolde. Assuming you better him, you’re rewarded with the Yaevinn card. Gremist is next!

ARD SKELLIG: SHATTERED REACH

The Amateur Blacksmith of Arinbjorn

Challenge this friend of Dandelion’s to a match and secure another random card for your collection.

The Innkeep of Arinbjorn

Though you may have a little trouble with some hooligans when first entering this establishment, the Innkeep at the back holds four great cards to buy, and another random one to win.

ARD SKELLIG: WILD SHORES

The Merchant of Holmstein’s Port

Hides, a map, a variety of fish, and cotton. This trader also has a random Gwent card on his person if you beat him at a game.

ARD SKELLIG: SNOW GIANT’S ARM

The Journeyman Armorer of Kaer Muire

“The sea provides,” so says this armorer. But you’re willing to bet your Gwent prowess can provide more than just some rusty gauntlets and bleached diagrams.

The Journeyman Blacksmith of Kaer Muire

Clan Drummond are a morose lot, but this chap has a face like a slapped arse. Either talk more about his demeanor, look at his wares, or cheer him even more up by winning his Gwent card from him.

ARD SKELLIG: OFRITHRDARL Territory (North)

The Amateur Blacksmith of Fayrlund

Though the folks in this village are having a Leshen problem, one of the two blacksmiths can distract himself from the terror by playing a round of Gwent, if you’re interested.

The Merchant of Fayrlund

With a fresh shipment of goods that’s just arrived, you can peruse this fellow’s wares, or challenge him and win a random card.

ARD SKELLIG: OFRITHRDARL territory (south)

The Amateur Blacksmith of Fyresdal

An excellent selection of goods, and a game of Gwent are possible if you chinwag with this one.

The Merchant of Fyresdal

Though his wares are less than impressive, it’s still worth speaking to the merchant so you can challenge him to a Gwent bout.

ARD SKELLIG: FYRESDAL TERRITORY

The Merchant of Kvalheim Isle

If you rid Kvalheim Isle (actually the settlement on the west side of the lake), the Herbalist offers you goods and a game of Gwent afterward.

ARD SKELLIG: RANNVAIG TERRITORY

The Merchant of Blandare

The merchant in the middle of this settlement hasn’t a great deal of wares to be thrilled about, but he’s prepped his Gwent deck for your arrival.

ARD SKELLIG: MORSKOGEN FOREST territory

Gremist the Chemist, Druid of Gedyneith

Assuming you’ve completed his related quest (Secondary Quest: Practicum in Advanced Alchemy), you’ve started Gwent: Skellige Style, and taken cards from Ermion, Crach an Craite, and Sjusta the Tailor, you can challenge Gremist to card battle.

The Concerned Druid of Gedyneith

Visit the concerned druid with a quest to give you, complete the quest by scaring druid Egill until his voice returns, and receive this exceptional card as a reward.

AN SKELLIG

The Amateur Blacksmith of Urialla Harbor

Whether you’d remove the strange tower from this island or not, the blacksmith in the village has a random card for you to win.

The Amateur Armorer of Urialla Harbor

Seek a random card, and a good amount of equipment and diagrams from this armorer whose skill at Gwent is matched only by fine beard.

The Innkeep of Urialla Harbor

Come for the roasted meats, and stay for the five Gwent cards you can obtain from this friendly shopkeeper. Four are bought, and the (random) fifth card is won.

HINDARSFJALL

The Amateur Armorer of Larvik

Speak to this bearded fellow, and claim a random card if you best him in card combat.

The Merchant of Larvik

Standing outside on the narrow end of the tavern is a merchant with the usual array of Skellige goods. Pick apart his Gwent game for a random card.

The Innkeep of Larvik

This house of warriors (or “tavern” if you’re from the Continent) has an innkeep who’s ready to battle you in a more cerebral manner.

The Amateur Blacksmith of Larvik

Challenge this anvil-hammering fellow to a quick game of Gwent, and make off with his random card.

FAROE

The Innkeep of Harviken

Though you may have a thirst for gambling, check the Innkeep’s stock of Gwent cards too and challenge the greasy-haired fellow to a round for his fifth (and random) card too.

The Amateur Blacksmith of Harviken

Though Hemdall watches over this island, he probably won’t be giving this blacksmith any help when you beat him at Gwent.

Hammond the Skelliger

During Secondary Quest: Following the Thread, you are called upon to find and interrogate a burly Skelliger named Hammond. Find him in Faroe. He’s a fighter, not a player; kill him and his cohorts, and loot the Nekker card from his corpse.

SPIKEROOG

The Innkeep of Svorlag

Though there’s some initial confusion over the type of entertainment this tavern offers, further chatting with the Innkeep reveals a quartet of cards to purchase, and a fifth (random) one to win.

The Amateur Blacksmith of Svorlag

Face this smithy in Gwent combat and obtain yet another random card to add to your collection. Gotta Collect ‘em All!

The Merchant of Svorlag

After mooring your boat, stroll along the harbor of Svorlag to find the merchant, and best him to gather another random card for your deck.
