A massive patch for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is coming soon, which is documented in a changelog that is 6 pages long. The patch brings a variety of fixes to the game, such as visual enhancements, enemy level upscaling, inventory navigation and a whole lot more. However, one of the most notable changes that it will be bringing to the game has to do with the game’s popular card game called Gwent.
The first thing that the patch notes reveal is that patch 1.20 will add a book to the game called A Miraculous Guide to Gwent, which “displays number of gwent cards missing from player’s base-game collection and information on where to find them, thus facilitating completion of achievement titled Collect ‘Em All. Tome in question can be obtained either from gwent playing scholar in Prologue or from merchant near St. Gregory’s Bridge in Gildorf district of Novigrad.”
