Georgius Georg fistfight in Novigrad, two hit punch.

[The DarkLight Emissary YT]

Anyone else getting two shotted by this guy? I can't figure out what im doing wrong. The first time i fought him I was dead in like the first 3 seconds because I wasn't expecting him to hit for that much damage.

Yep, did him at lvl 20 and promptly got 3 shotted. Can't dodge because of the insanely small ring you're in and the way it ♥♥♥♥♥ with camera angles. You can try to block, but make one mistake, and he will take out a third of your health, then stun you and take out the rest. Not to mention he gets a free hit on you coming out of the introductory cutscene.

Parrying never really worked for me, even when I got to high levels. I found it very hit and miss as to how the timing worked. This is particularly bad when you are against people who can one or two shot you and you can't use potions or signs. Easier just to keep your distance from him, wait for him to do that lunging punch, skip to the side and do a quick attack. Repeat until he is defeated. If he tries to get close to you just block until you get a chance to skip away from him.

I have to be honest this was one of the more disappointing parts of the gameplay in the game for me. I ended up just sighing whenever things turned into a fist fight. I think I did actually prefer the quicktime type fist fights in The Witcher 2 to be honest, and I usually hate quicktime things. I didn't like the way you didn't often have much room to move about and how NPCs would walk in the middle of the fight and block you.

***SPOILER WARNING***

I did however like how the fist fighting quests eventually ended, and how you end up fighting a bear and then a troll. Gave me a little smile in the end.

i beat georgious george on deathmarch while he was still 6 levels above me. it was hard as f*ck and it took me a while to figure out his weakness. all i did was corner him and fast attack constantly and then when he looked like he was winding up for a big punch i just dodge away and then rinse and repeat. but yeah i should have just waited till i was higher level lol

[Big Boom Boom]

LOL.

I like fist fighting. I drag out the fights by doing nothing but just counter AND not hitting them afterward. It's like prolonging their painful defeat, like taunting them in the face. Sweet sweet casul fist fighters getting parried at every turn.

Timing is extremely easy, as soon as their hand move press RMB.

You are doing something wrong, he is hitting you :)

Dont get hit - WIN.

Just change difficulty to easy, win battle and change back.
But if you want to receive Death March! achievement, do it if you completed all story quests.

hey man thing of it like a boxing match; I locked onto him which normally i do not need to do; anyway; I start the fight by parrying to the left or backwards with right click down to keep my guard up; - He doesn't take big punches unless you circle around him after a counter and his defense is extremely hard to break thus...
You time his strikes; parry to the side or backwards; (great thing about TW3 combat after a parry in fist fighting just like with a sword you'll have a nice strike if you time the attack immediately after in the right "spot") - then you can unload 3,4 maybe 5 light hits on him, or 1-2 lights hits and a hard hit, maybe be able to get a charging Knee to his face but you risk getting floored so I advice you keep the whole "counter punch" idealism
Dodge all his attacks; then counter attack; towards his 45% health he'll begin to be a bit more agressive and even do more damage, at this point after you parry hit him and parry to the opposite direction he steps to circle towards his back - you can totally annihiliate him this way, but just like geralt he will swing a strong brack hand at you if not careful thus keep the same amount of attack timing before parrying back to safetly; keep a medium close distance, enough that you can see he's preparing to attack and get away, not close enough to get clipped and not too far away that he walks you down and you end up against a wall getting pummeled etc.

You'll find this to be cake after you parry the first strike and counter, then rinse and repeat.

Happy Brawling, Gwent Playing, Questing, Monster Hunting and exploring the most fascinating game I've played.

PS: ----Slight Spoiler alert---- it doesn't give away too much about major plot details its a subplot of a main plot quest that involves the possibility to fight in this epic 5 or 6 round arena to the death, in this awesome pit with a roaring crowd... was fantastic just going to talk about it as I believe you can completely miss out on it.

----

in Novigrad; when aiding cleaver finding whoreson junior, for the arena I opted out of aiding his men (despite still helping them....) so I could take part in the epic arena battle that occurs; I believe its 5 or 6? maybe 7? different to the death situations; initially that guy pleads for his life about having a family; then the skellige twins; then I believe it was engregas; then a wyrvern and then this famous GIANT MOFO BEAR; (Once I got him low health and on fire I boxed that bear for a good 10 seconds BEARKNUCKLES LULZ) epic moment; and I don't believe this can be experienced if you aid the dwarves by just going in and murdering everyone which happens anyway;
For the casino I met up with them - and you are given half the reward for meeting them for the casino so I highly suggest you do the arena)

oh and... Keep up the good work mate.

dude the fist fights in this game are pretty easy, just pracice your timing when it comes to parrying and dodging and make sure every parry u hit with a strong attack followed by weak attacks. pay attention to the A.I's reaction times, they are always the same. I took him out when i was very low compared to his level, but it did take me a while as attacks didnt do much damage,

This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and definitely bugged. One, I have never been asked to throw the fight, although, the fight manager berates me for not accepting, as if he had. Two, you can tell the program is putting you at a distinct disadvantage basically letting Georg kick your butt. Obviously, some are not experiencing this bug, but others are, and I sure am. I am level 34 and ol Georg still often 2 shots me. I am ready for the final battle, went back to see how I fared with Georg. Still wipes the floor with me. I would trade him any day for Yen in the final battle!

Here is the way to win EVERY SINGLE fist fight in the entire game.

1. Lock onto the enemy closest to you (in a multiple person fist fight you must change priority to closest one)
2. NEVER ATTEMPT TO PARRY
3. If SINGLE TARGET - bait a heavy attack by stepping forward then stepping backwards, when they wind up dodge backwards with down on analogue stick and tap B [Xbox controls]
4. Then after their hit jump forward again and start swinging with fast attack or heavy [whichever you have skill points in, I am fast so I can get 2-3 hits in on ANY opponent]
5. Then after 2-3 hits depending on when the opponent puts their fists up to block, dodge back again and then bait another heavy attack and REPEAT until they are dead.

More advanced skills:
Instead of dodging back, you can dodge roll forward and behind them when they do a heavy attack and get bonus damage on the first hit into their back!

Likewise, previous time I played I beat everybody. The only time I lost was the first time I fought Georgius because I was too low a level. Now when I try, parry is ineffective I can dodge for a while until some drunk walks into the fight and traps me and then I get punched out in 2 punches. Or it's like the game is having a laugh and I get hit by him when I have dodged and am nowhere near him, like literally completely across the ring from him.

This is also happening in fights in Skellige, the guy you agree to let win the first fight (Einar) to impress his girlfriend and whom I never lost to before absolutely smashes me and again hits me when he is completely out of reach. Not sure what's going on but that's it for me, boxing in W2 was far better.

Parry is ineffective in one on one fist fight? What are you even on about? You can parry-counter attack every single fist fight one on one. The only time when it's hard to do so is when you fist fight against multiple enemies.

Parry =/= block. *Looks at kNIGHT achievements* No Kaer Modhen Trained achievement, well that makes sense.

I stated the part about parry because others had mentioned it above.

As stated I won every fight in a previous play through so I obviously know how to do the boxing - SO WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT - I am explaining I appear to be encountering a bug that someone else has already mentioned and I have quoted.
