Georgious ‘Piledriver’ Georg
Talking to Claytop enrolls Geralt in a match against Georgious Georg.
There’s also an additional 25 experience thrown on top to sweeten the deal a bit further.
When you do take on the ‘Piledriver’ fair and square, the match takes place indoors.

Unlike the indoor challenge against Smithy in Velen, it’snot as effective to back Georg into a corner.
Unfortunately, Georg maintains his defensive stance nearly the entire match, except for when he is throwing punches.
Georg also hits hard, taking nearly a fourth of Geralt’s vitality when he lands a blow.

Though not indoors, this match still takes place in an enclosed space.
Iron Mortimer
Mortimer Ferreo can be found in acourtyard West of the Southern Gate signpostacross the river.
Once across the bridge, turn left.
Captain Mortimer is another solid defender, though he doesn’t hit quite as hard as Georg.
A Notice Board with a tall post topped with a bird’s nest marks the spot.
Though he likes to think so, Durden isn’t special among fist fighters.
It’s likely Geralt will stumble across one of these voracious brawls soon after arriving in Skellige.
Still, Geralt will want to regain some distance after a couple of punches and reset for another go.
Therefore, the sameinterruption or parry and counter-tacticsapply.
Grim is a brute with a strong defense and a hard hit.
Geralt can block him but not for long, as it will cost a fair chunk of stamina.
He’s not thrown off balance much by parrying either, but he does have a wild swing.
No, that’s not a nickname.
Olaf is, in fact, an actual bear.
This showdown takes place on the island ofAn Skellige in the northeast region of the map.
Head to the ring just outside of Urialla Harbor when you’re ready.
As with most monsters, parrying is of no use against Olaf.
Geralt will need toroll to evade the bear’s charge attacksand attempt to land a few blows from behind.
The reigning champ of all three regions is wait for it… a rock troll.
This showdown takes place on the island ofSpikeroog at the arena in Hov.
It’s not as hard as it sounds fighting a rock troll with your bare hands.

The secret to beating him is tododge his short arm span and get behind him.
Brawling In Toussaint

The twist comes after Still Waters is released from their knightly vow and reveals their face.
And no, Still Waters does not request that you throw the fight.
Colossus
Colossus can be found in thelower Beauclair district of San Sebastian.
This can be a traditional fistfight if you so choose.
However, Colossus will offer to double Geralt’s initial wager if the Witcher canparry three of his punches.
The rules are pretty straightforward.Geralt must parry, not block.
This means all that distancing and timing practice is about to pay off.
However, to win this wager, Geralt must remain on the defensivewithout throwing a single punch.
Mancomb
Geralt will find Mancomb in thecourtyard near the Nilfgaardian Embassy.
Honestly, this is one fight that Dandelion would’ve been better suited for.
No matter, it’s a simple matter of keeping pace with Mancomb’s rhymes.
Geralt shouldchoose his responses based on the last word of Mancomb’s tauntsin order to win.
Maestro
The Maestro is Toussaint’s reigning champ.
Geralt will find him at the Beauclair docks near theBeauclair Port signpost.
Though this is an ordinary fistfight, there is one twist.
The champ is blind drunk and insists Geralt must drink as well.
Here are some of the most notable encounters where Geralt is likely to come to blows.
But after what Geralt just discovered, the Witcher is happy to knock him around a bit.

In part by ensuring the now dumpling chef’s safety in order for him to return to smithing.
