am i supposed to lose the first fist fight?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i hit him so many times but he just did not go down.

Kinda. You can also try doing all other chores first, especially combat training and then coming to Kunesh and try to beat him. He has to receive a lot of punches until a short cutscene triggers.
But, if you lose the first fight, just approach him and slap him a couple of times till he's down :D

i just beat him but pressed ill let ya go on accident lmoa

You don't really need to fight him. Just sneak up behind him and choke him out.
Also it doesn't matter how many times you hit him if there's enough time for him to refill his stamina between blows.
You're better off dodging one of his blows then let loose with a combo. That will drop his stamina and begin to chip away at his health.
If you just punch him once then back away, his stamina will refill and you won't do any damage to his health.

oh ok thx

i ended up beating him as the first thing i did. So it is def possible

[Warjammer]

I beat him tips for unarmed combat use right mouse button when he is about to punch you. Then back off of him because his knee to your head hurts alot. I used rmb when i hit him i follow it with a kick F button. That combo works great against him.

I'd say it depends on what you chose during the first two dialogue options. I went with strength for one of them and had no problem beating Kunesh. If you were to pick Speech twice and don't do any combat training beforehand, I think this fight would be a lot harder.

Congratulations. You can add the titles of quitter and necromancer to your list of accolades.
