Fistfight (quest)

Fistfight is one of the first quests that Geralt "receives". Basically, after his first fistfight, the witcher decides that he needs practice, lots of practice, and so begins the quest.
== Walkthrough ==
In , there are several quests that span the entire game, this being one of the most noteworthy. In each Chapter (except the epilogue) of the game, at the local tavern, Geralt is given the opportunity to challenge the local reigning fistfight champion for a chance at the "Title", winning other trinkets and orens along the way. He must defeat four fighters before facing the Champion, in his cave in the swamp cemetery.
This final fight does not come easily, the champion will not relinquish his title after a single defeat. Geralt must beat him twice in a row before he can claim the title for himself. He also gets the boxer's tooth as a trophy.
== Notes ==
* There is a snag in the original version of the game if Geralt begins fistfighting later than Chapter I (i.e. in Chapter II or later). Each opponent in the ascension rounds is only available in the one location. Once that location becomes unavailable to the witcher, so does the potential opponent, so if you do not fight Fat Fred at the Inn in the Outskirts in Chapter I, you can never fight him, etc.
** This is fixed in the Enhanced Edition; now an opponent missed in any Chapter will appear as the fighter in the next Chapter. After beating that fighter, simply leaving and re-entering will spawn the appropriate fighter for the Chapter.
* How to Fistfight with Eskel: After giving Triss the potion, do not suggest meeting up with Vesemir for Leo's funeral, tell her you have things to do first. Then, go back down to the armory (on the second floor of the keep) where Eskel is practicing. Talk to him and he will offer you hand-to-hand training.
