Junior’s Arena

Junior’s Arena is a fighting pit hidden in the Novigrad sewers beneath The Bits, not far from Junior’s Casino. Torch-lit brick tunnels open onto a sunken ring surrounded by stands, where the crowd roars, money changes hands and the sand rarely stays clean for long. Fighters of every kind end up here: mercenaries, Skellige warriors, wild dogs, monsters dragged in from the wilds and even a bear called Boris.

The arena is one of Whoreson Junior‘s most profitable businesses. When the boss is busy elsewhere, it is run by his right-hand man Igor the Hook, who decides who fights and who does not. Hierarch Hemmelfart himself can be spotted among the spectators, which says a lot about Novigrad.

In The Witcher 3

In Get Junior, Geralt can get in by impersonating a dead fighter named Zdenek if he has picked up his certificate, by paying the guards 100 crowns, with Axii, or by force. Inside, he can ask Igor for work as a bodyguard. Igor wants proof, so Geralt fights his way through Gustav Roene, a pack of wild dogs, the Hairy Brothers, a wyvern, two endregas (an endrega drone and a warrior) and finally Boris the bear. Alternatively he can signal Cleaver‘s dwarves to storm the place.

Either way it ends in a bloodbath. Igor’s key opens a box with a note, and a hidden stash behind a torch on the lower level holds a letter proving that Junior works for King Radovid.

Good to know

Do not loot Zdenek’s body if you plan to enter another way, as it fails an objective. Sparing Gustav Roene means he fights at your side in the later rounds.
