Traning bot fistfight at beginning of game impossible.

[Desponark]

At the start of the fight I can damage the bot once with a heavy punch. After that the bot will not take damage regardless if I try light, heavy or counter attacks.
Anyone else experience this bug? Anyone knows a solution to this?

[Cadako]

I found he was impossible to damage unless I pushed him to the ground and beat him then lol.

I just spam counter, that seems to always do the trick for me.

[Desponark]

I think I did no dmg because my stamina was always empty. I reloaded multiple times and after a while I somehow beat him.

Yeah it is just more tutorial. I didn't think you could lose to it.

i beat it but it took some work. use shove to break its block and vary your heavy and light attacks while keeping moving (and def take advantage of the stun hits (oh and take the stun attack perk in the brawler tab too)). stamina is low that early but you can do it. admittedly it took a few tries and i never managed to do it on my first run before 1.6

I just beat him yesterday with a girl with 3 str on very hard. It took me 10min though LOL. He for sure has gotten tougher with the updates. The key is don't get hit.

[egg fu]

counter, heavy hit, heavy hit, heavy hit, dodge, repeat.

[Fugana]

Heavy hit makes him stumble and then make few quick attacks, while hes recovering you wait for your stamina to replenish. With this method i beat it fist time on very hard difficulty.

You don't 'fight' the bot, you just keep hitting it until the hidden timer runs out.

[tranquillant]

circle it and have your strong attack charged while doing so. When the bot pulls back its hand to attack hit it with strong attack. Rinse and repeat. It was so easy it was almost lame :D

A few tips to make all the boxing fights easy:

1) Heavy hit to stun, light hit while its down to damage (or rest if you are low on stamina)
2) learn to dodge & interrupt with heavy attacks
3) You can open your inventory and use a healing item in the middle of boxing matches (the instant heals made the final fight so much easier)
4) use food & drink to increase max stamina/health before the fight
5) there is no reason you have to do it right away, go level up and get some Gorilla Arms then crush it in one hit
6) You can use Sandevistan or Berserk implants in boxing matches, it makes all the Beat on the Brat fights a effortless except the last one. Berserk is better imo but a Sandy works well enough

Sandevistan + gorilla fists and the final fight was a breeze. Activate sandy, strong hit, and pummel until the slow wears off. Evade until cooldown ends, rinse and repeat.

Tbh, sandevistan may not even be necessary, gorilla fists pack a pretty solid hit and stagger/knock down most enemies for a second or 2.
