To get all the Skellige cards in Gwent, you can purchase them from various merchants, earn them through Gwent-related side quests, or earn them as rewards for beating opponents in games of Gwent throughout the duchy of Toussaint. The Skellige deck consists of 43 cards, and none of them are missable, allowing players to collect the entire set through dedicated gameplay and exploration.
Understanding the Skellige Deck
The Skellige deck is one of the five factions in Gwent, each with its unique cards and strategies. To start collecting Skellige cards, players must first obtain the base deck, which can be received from Count Martin Monnier in The Pheasantry upon agreeing to enter his little tournament.

If you’re looking for Ermion and can’t find him, check if you’ve finished the Brothers in Arms: Skellige quest. If not, he’s supposed to be in a cave in the hill where the coronation was held. Continue playing the main story, and you’ll run into him again.
7. What Card Does Thaler Give You?
