Boxing

Learn the best strategy to win every boxing match in The Witcher. Master the attack-dodge-attack rhythm to defeat opponents without taking damage.

Alright, let’s talk about boxing in The Witcher. It’s not the hardest part of the game, but it can be a bit tricky if you don’t know the trick. The good news is, you don’t need any special talents to win, though they can help.

There are two talents that can make boxing easier: “Brawl” lets you charge up attacks for a powerful cheap-shot that can win fights instantly if it lands. The “Fistfight” talent unlocks new moves that hit twice, which is obviously better than the normal single hit. Honestly though, you can skip both of these and still come out on top.

The absolute best way to win every single boxing match is a simple rhythm: attack, then immediately dodge. Don’t hold the dodge button down, just tap it right after your attack connects. This little tap resets your attack animation. As soon as you let go of the dodge button, attack again. Keep repeating this attack-dodge-attack-dodge pattern, and you’ll find you barely take any damage, if any at all. Some of the tougher opponents might dodge your hits sometimes, or even get the first punch in, but this method is your best bet for staying safe and winning consistently.
