Bring It On: Vergen

Bring It On: Vergen is the arm wrestling side quest in Chapter 2 of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, played in the dwarven town of Vergen on Iorveth’s path. It follows on from Zoltan Chivay’s tales of his old crew back in Flotsam, which leave Geralt itching to test his grip against Yarpen Zigrin and Sheldon Skaggs.

Both dwarves are hanging around the Vergen tavern, and both bring up Skalen Burdon, the alderman’s nephew and reigning local champion, whose swagger gets on their nerves. Skalen is the final opponent; once he is beaten he mentions a legendary arm wrestler called Mighty Numa, whom Geralt can meet in Chapter 3. Note that the quest can only be finished after Subterranean Life.
