How to unlock the Quick, before- achievement in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game - Definitive Guide

Not as difficult as it seems once you realise you can do it with your creatures.

Build a Monster deck with Eredin as the leader.

Pick either Colossal Ifrit (Gold, 200 scraps) or Kayran (Gold, 800 scraps). They both have Zeal. Pick both if you can to maximise chances of getting one in your hand during the game (adding Royal Decree -Gold, 800- is a tutor card that can help further).
Then also have as many of the following as possible: Barbegazi (Bronze, 80) and Slyzard (Bronze, 80). They both have consume as an order ability.

Mulligan (change cards) as necessary so you have one of the Bronze and one of the Gold in hand.
Play the Bronze and use Eredin's ability to help protect it from destruction. On your next turn play the Gold next to the previous card, don't activate this last card but instead activate the Bronze's order to consume the Gold you just played.

Important note: Seems this is currently bugged and you have to instead use all charges of your Gold before consuming it with the Bronze. This means it’s easier with Ifrit as Kayran requires you to have 3 extra cards to consume. So try both ways if it doesn’t work at first.
Thanks everyone who commented on this.

Achievement should unlock straight away.

Sorry to hear. I got it by chance when I duplicated a Kyran from my hand and consumed it straight away so would have thought it’d work for sure. Maybe it’s more complex than it seems... looking forward to hear more from others and get this cleared up for sure if possible.

KrakenScorch, you need to use all charges of Ifrit/Kayran before eating him by Barbegazi/Slyzard.

Same as above, consumed Ifrit after using its charge.

Thanks all for your comments on clarifying this. I’ve amended the solution to reflect it.

This still works but has definitely been fixed.
Do NOT use your charges on your Zeal card before munching on it.
A+ idea.

The description of the trophy does not match the mechanics of obtaining it.
You need to play for the North so that your deck has a Kaedweni centurion and a special card Thunder, which deals 5 damage. Done in 3 moves:
1. We play any squad.
2. Play Kaedweni Centurion and use both charges, strengthening a friendly unit.
3. Play Thunder and kill the centurion.

This trophy (like most others) is easier to do with friends in a friendly match.

The second point above is incorrectly described. The centurion cannot waste charges, it must be destroyed before you have used these 2 charges
