Fistfight 1: Smithy, of The Inn At The Crossroads
Recommended Bet and Odds:
GO ALL OUT!
Visit the Inn at the Crossroads for your first bout in Velen. Your battle is with the local smithy. He’s a pushover (though fists are better than shoving). Afterwards, the bookie mentions Jonah from Blackbough, and Fishgulper from Lindenvale—defeat them to claim the title as champion of Velen.
ITEM: Up to 140 Crowns
Fistfight 2: Jonah of Blackbough
Recommended Bet and Odds:
GO ALL OUT!
Travel to the ground outside the tavern in Blackbough, and speak to the bookie, who mentions his man Jonas likes to bite. Quiz him about this if you wish, then face off with that fellow who winked at you. After some parrying and pummeling, this gent provides little trouble.
ITEM: Up to 100 Crowns
Fistfight 3: Fishgulper of Lindenvale
Recommended Bet and Odds:
GO ALL OUT!
Speak to the bookie along the main thoroughfare of Lindenvale, near the Notice Board, and sign up to fight Fishgulper. Stan speaks earnestly before the fight, urging you to throw the bout so you lose, and he can remain claim a sack of flour as a prize in this downtrodden hole. Agree (you can try again afterwards) or dismiss his plea. Fight and finish him if you wish to progress.
ITEM: Up to 140 Crowns
Fistfight 4: The Sergeant of Crow’s Perch
Recommended Bet and Odds:
Minor Threat. Bet high, but not the maximum if you don’t have the practice.
The current champion of Velen is the sergeant over at Crow’s Perch. Gallop there once the first three adversaries are pummelled. Journey up into the upper courtyard close to the stables, where a small crowd has gathered. The bookie or the bruiser called the sergeant can be chatted to, and the bout started. With some well-timed counters and retaliation, you can reduce this ugly thug to a heap in the grass, and collect your winnings. Congratulations! You are the Champion of Velen!
