After you talked to all three of them the baron will introduce you the rules and the tournament starts.

Make sure you have your best decks prepared and save the game! 😉

Quest Hints

• Be prepared for this quest – you’ll play against some of the best players of the game. So make sure you’ve already other Gwent quests before to make your decks stronger, especially the Old Pals and Big City Players Gwent Quest.
• Sasha with her Niflgaardian deck is probably the toughest opponent in this quest. She’s playing a very strong Spy deck. Counter her with a lot of decoys and spies yourself.
• The Elven Gwent player is a very bad looser, you’ll see for yourself. You’ll have to beat him in a fist fight after he lost. He’s not only a tough Gwent player but also a tough fighter, but the game will automatically save after your victory if you don’t beat him the first time.
• Like mentioned before, always save and beat all opponents. This quest is your only way to get all leader cards and if you loose you’re out and won’t get a second chance to win them.
• Be nice to Sasha (still beat her in Gwent though), she might return the favor at the end of the quest, but in a more “romantic” way. 😉

  Can you fail high stakes Witcher 3?

  Important: If you stray too far from the Passiflora, the quest will fail. Also, winning these matches is not required to complete this quest, but it is the only way to obtain certain leader cards and complete Collect 'Em All, which will automatically fail if you lose any of the matches.

  What happens if you sleep with Sasha Witcher 3?

  Madame Sasha Geralt can enjoy a night with her if that's what you want. Romancing Sasha has no impact on the rest of the game and the other romance options that Geralt can pursue.

  How do you win high stakes Gwent?

  The key to win the gwent tournament is to start this quest as late as possible and only when you have decent deck. For this, buy every gwent card available at traders and innkeepers, play every possible gwent game against NPCs, play all gwent-related side quests.

  What happens if you lose high stakes Gwent?

  If you lose you just lose the game basically, you don't lose card or Orens. There is one case however that some people make a huge mistake. The Gwent Tournament in Novigrad seems just like a Quest where you play a tournament of Gwent. If you actually win every game you will be facing a guy in a fist fight.
