Third Melee at the mill fight bugged.

[Yellowtheblue]

Im doing the sidequest melee at the mill for the third time but the fight against hensel is bugged. When i challange him i get teleported into the arena but i cant target him. He also has an npc protection effect so i cant free punch at him. So i have no choice but to either get beaten up or surrender.

Im also getting this, I believe its just permanently bugged aswell as ive spammed the rechallenging him to a fight and its always the same, cant target him and have to surrender or get knocked out... hopefully warhorse fixes this soon cause I swear if the unarmed master strikes are behind more of these melee at the mill quests im going to be so upset

It's bugged for me now too, it was working fine for the past week but now the fight with Hensel specifically is exactly as described, can't even throw unaimed attacks at him while in the duel, but I can when I'm outside of the duel.

No, unarmed master strike and disarming strike were supposed to be in the game but Warhorse for some reason removed them before release. NPCs still have it though and will use it against you, but it is unobtainable by Henry. There is a mod that restores the files so that Henry can use them though, called Pugilistic Henry on Nexus.

I am having the very same issue...it pains me because I've already done the quest before that, won in Zhelejov and became undisputed unarmed combat champion of the redion (if you know, you know)
...it's just once I challenged him to a fight again and now can' finish it because he can't be attacked nor I can defend myself.

I wanted to finish the quest because its one of last 2 side quests I need to do in Trosky region....if someone knows what might help, please post here

Found the solution. Hit him with ur fists couple times. when he'll surrender let him go. He'll go to the edge of the map. then. after couple hours, returns to his dutys interactable

For me, I'm bugged to complete the first round.... Hensel is defeated, but Malik just not count as win, He just collapsed on the ground... standing up... got 2 hits, and collapses again... after some up and downs.... he's staying on the ground... laying there like unconscious but still insulting me... and after a minute waiting, I lose the fight...

Edit: My Bug was in fact caused by the Mod 1.25x Faster Movement Speed

I also have this bug, I challenge Hensel but when we enter the arena I am not in fight mode and I am unable to punch him.

Did that part of the quest a couple days ago. Have you checked to see if the problem is at your end ? As in, verify game files, check your mods to make sure they are up to date.
Have you loaded a previous save and redone the fight ? Run into a couple bugs that were solved by reloading and doing the mission again.

I have the same problem at PS5. Also the pickpocket and takedown training with him isn’t possible anymore.

[Lumeiwan]

Almost two months already and this is not fixed yet, what the hell.

[MERCENATOR]

The quest is still not fixed, it's a terrible shame...

[Gustuv Wynd]

I haven't seen this one, but I've seen similar things that required me to load a save from before a quest started so that attacking the people attacking me didn't count as a crime.

as in not do anything different...just try it again.

i was having the same problem, i fixed it by sitting next to him when he's on the bench next to the house. and i just rolled his ass

[Stav1]

I have the same problem

try loading an earlier save and try again. other people have done the mission with no issues.
