All right, that's all there is to know about The Witcher 3 High Stakes.

What is High Stakes in The Witcher 3?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has a side objective called High Stakes, although you can't access it until the game's last story line. It is available at the Passiflora in Novigrad, where a bunch of Gwent experts are eager to wager everything in an effort to take home the top prize.

The mission is primarily divided into two parts: the competition itself and the repercussions. You may still complete this quest even if you don't win the tournament.

High stakes recommendations for The Witcher 3

There are four matches you may participate in throughout the quest's tournament section:

Your first opponent is Bernard, who employs the Northern Realms deck to great advantage. He's a formidable opponent. But, since you may bring a lot of medic cards into combat, you can quickly overwhelm him if you approach this with a Nilfgaardian Empire deck.

Possibly the most difficult Gwent game in The Witcher 3 is this one, as Sasha not only plays with the Nilfgaardian Empire deck but also primarily depends on spy cards, which can lead to a variety of issues depending on the cards she receives. To be honest, we advise you to pair her with your own deck of Nilfgaardian Empire cards and hope for good fortune.

Finneas

Since you can use almost any other deck to counteract Scoia'tael, it is really the simplest duel to take against Finneas. Additionally, the Scoia'tael deck heavily favors ranged cards, thus if you have a few fog cards in your deck, you can completely outmaneuver his strategy.

"Count Tybalt"

If you have a Northern Realms or Nilfgaardian Empire deck, you can easily defeat Count Tybalt's Monsters deck.

To Catch a Thief in The Witcher 3

Only if you accept Sasha's offer halfway through the tournament and win every match will you be able to go on to the second round of High Stakes. The mission of To Catch a Thief is easy, with each goal explained in detail.
