However, Geralt doesn't need to worry as much about getting backed into a corner. Though not indoors, this match still takes place in an enclosed space. There will be a fight taking place in a niche to the left as Geralt descends the stairs. After crossing the bridge and entering the Novigrad gates, take an immediate right. This match is tucked away just North of the Portside signpost. RELATED: The Witcher 3: Every Quest That Can Auto-Fail and When Archibald O'Neill If you can, dodging behind George will earn Geralt a longer opening to throw additional punches before he needs to resume his squirrely manoeuvres. This mix of hard-hitting and defensive tactics means Geralt's best counter-tactic is to remain patient and dodge, rather than parry. Georg also hits hard, taking nearly a fourth of Geralt's vitality when he lands a blow. Unfortunately, Georg maintains his defensive stance nearly the entire match, except for when he is throwing punches. He is better at fending off Geralt's blows than Smithy was and has an easier time of counter-attacking, meaning it's useless to haul away on him while he is in a defensive stance. Unlike the indoor challenge against Smithy in Velen, it's not as effective to back Georg into a corner. When you do take on the 'Piledriver' fair and square, the match takes place indoors.

Honestly, pride is a small price to pay, and it's highly recommended that Geralt throws the match the first time around. There's also an additional 25 experience thrown on top to sweeten the deal a bit further. Geralt may again ask for a rematch to continue the Fists of Fury competition if he accepts this bribe.

This makes Geralt's maximum possible takeaway 240 crowns, which is a pretty payoff for such a simple request. Geralt will be offered 80 crowns in addition to doubling the return on his bet if he throws the match. This is an interesting encounter as Geralt is once again asked to forfeit the match, though for a much better price but not nearly as good of a reason. Talking to Claytop enrolls Geralt in a match against Georgious Georg. To enter Novigrad's Fists of Fury circuit, Geralt can head to The Golden Sturgeon (west of the Hierarch Square signpost, past Vivaldi's Bank) and talk to Master Claytop. But because he throws punches more frequently, Geralt can also try to dodge to the side or behind the Sergeant and use the Sergeant's momentum against him by landing a few hits as Sergeant recovers from missing his target. Geralt can still parry him and create an opening that way. Unsurprisingly, Sergeant is the most aggressive of all the Velen matches. You will find Sergeant outside the Baron's fort near the large dead tree in the yard's center. SergeantĪfter winning the three qualifying matches, Geralt should head to Crow's Perch to take on Velen's reigning champion, the Baron's Sergeant. He will eventually parry Geralt and counter-attack.

But as long as you give him space, you can easily parry his blows and create an opening to land a few hits of your own.

Jonah tends to circle more than Stan or Smithy and takes up the offensive more often. Geralt will find a match in progress across from the Blacksmith in the tiny village. Jonah is in Blackbough, West of Crow's Perch.
