Arm Wrestling: Vergen

Learn how to win arm wrestling matches in Vergen in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition. This guide covers the mechanics and strategies for this mini-game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The arm wrestling mini-game appears in Vergen during Chapter 2 (Iorveth's Side) as part of the quest 'Poker Face: Vergen'.
  2. 2
    When the mini-game starts, you will see a strength meter and a block meter.
  3. 3
    Your goal is to deplete the opponent's health bar by repeatedly pressing the attack button (usually 'A' on Xbox or Left Mouse Click on PC) to increase your strength.
  4. 4
    The opponent will attempt to push back, indicated by their strength meter rising. You must press the block button (usually 'B' on Xbox or Space on PC) at the right time to counter their push.
  5. 5
    Observe the opponent's movements and the on-screen prompts to time your blocks effectively.
  6. 6
    Successfully blocking will stop their advance and allow you to regain the initiative.
  7. 7
    Continue alternating between attacking and blocking until your opponent's health is depleted.
Tips
  • Pay close attention to the visual cues from the opponent. They will often telegraph their moves.
  • Don't just mash the attack button; focus on timing your presses to maintain consistent pressure.
  • Mastering the block timing is crucial. A mistimed block will allow the opponent to gain an advantage.
  • If you are struggling, try to find a rhythm with the button presses and blocks.
