Fistfight is The Witcher’s long-running bare-knuckle side activity. It is set up in the Prologue, when Geralt spars with Eskel and realizes his fists could use some practice, and from Act I onward it becomes a ladder of ever tougher brawlers, one per act, each found in a local inn.
The line-up runs Fat Fred, Butter Bean, Andrew Gablodda and The Rock, each charging an entry fee and letting Geralt pick a prize after the win. Once beaten, The Rock admits only his own teacher is stronger. That man, Zdenek, the Champion of Champions, waits in a refugee cave in the swamp cemetery in Act V. The fights themselves are simple: punch whenever your opponent winds up and you interrupt his swing.
