How to unlock the Fist of the South Star achievement in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Definitive Guide

Minor Spoiler included!

You can do this in the first 30minutes of the game.
When you're hunting down Yennifer, you'll enter the tavern in the first village of the game. If you proceed with this quest (talk to the guys in the tavern) and (MAKE A SAVEGAME AT THIS POINT, JUST IN CASE) then leave the building, you'll be confronted with 3 guys looking for trouble.
If you want the achievement, go with the first option. Should be something like "only 3 of you...".
Just one guy will attack you and you can knock him out with ease. Note, that the other 2 guys will join the fight when the first thug is knocked out.
Achievement unlocks when the first guy is out! If not, reload your savegame.

Thank you Foxy Gray for the visuals! :)

Can also be done during the fistfight sidequests. Much easier as its 1v1.

Fistfight sidequests are a bit tough, but you can save before every fight. Inside an inn fistfight has less room to dodge.

This appears to be glitched for me. I did the 3v1 fight 5 times in a row. Didn't take damage for 3 of them and nothing is popping

If you find this not unlocking, try restarting your xbox. I did the first fight perfectly several times without success, then tried at the blacksmith again without success. Finally restarted and did the blacksmith again and - pop - first try.

Did this during Drunk Rabble where you get 2 drunks interrupt you outside the Golden Sturgeon. Only fighting one level 8 guy and it was a slow paced fight.

I choose the option that used the sign on one of the guys and it ends up with you having to fist fight the other two guys. It was very easy to get the achievement as they pretty much only engage you one at a time. Just remember to use the left thumb stick and either a or b to roll or dodge their attacks.

Got this much later in the story but said I'd post what happened to me. If you are fighting more than one opponent and take damage DON'T reload right away.

During my fight I took damage from a blow from the guy behind me but KO'd the one in front of me without him hitting me and the achievement popped. Given the load times in this it probably better to see the fight through and later in the game you will have likly got access to Puppet on the Axii skill tree which makes fights very easy indeed.

Tenreth's solution is a valid one BUT you have 3 enemies to fight. If you want to make it a bit easier you can accept the sidequest from the blacksmith in the same town called "Twisted Firestarter". It will take you maybe 3 minutes to complete.

When you followed the tracks and get to the house, make a save. You will get a checkpoint but just to be sure, also you can load your save again and choose the option with the sign for an extra 25 points. But for the solutions sake choose the fight option WITHOUT the sign.

Hold down the cn_LT to block the initial attack and when you feel confident press cn_LT just before he hits you to counter. Immediately take a few swings and block again. Do this until you win and the achievement should pop.

You can use the last checkpoint or your own save to restart in case you do take damage. Easy achievement and you can get it just as soon as the one from Tenreth's solution, just find the blacksmith before you go into the tavern. He is one or two houses over from the tavern.

I can give my account as to how I got it since this achievement can seemingly happen at random depending on what you're doing story wise.

I was leaving Novigrad at night via the marshy exit where the dwarves live. I accepted an ! mission from a dwarf who claimed his papers to get into the city were taken away from him. I tracked down the man who took them and chose the fight him option and as the cutscenes ended and the fight began I hit Y for strong attack and took him down with one blow.

I am not sure if this matters but I have both fast and strong attack stats maxed and activated in their first initial levels.

This achievement seems to be highly random, so if you come across this dwarf and mission and need the achievement, maybe this can work for you.

This is very easy to obtain at the start of the game.

During the quest 'Lilacs & Gooseberries', you are hunting for Yennefer. After encountering the unlucky Merchant, you end up in the local tavern.

You can talk to a Scholar to learn the basics of the cardgame gwent.

Upon leaving, there are 3 locals who dislike Witchers, and accost you.

I chose the dialogue option to cast a sign and 'daze' one of them - the other 2 leap in, and it is here that you are in the fist-fight.

Quickly tap cn_S to land a fast strike on one - he goes out in 1 punch, the trophy will unlock immediately.

This is obviously easiest to do against a weak opponent. The first really good opportunity you have is in the prologue part of the game, after you get to the tavern. Save the game while in the tavern (so you can reload if you fail). Talking to various people will eventually trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, when you leave the tavern you will end up in a fistfight with up to 3 fairly weak farmers/peasants. If you chose the correct option (the first, I believe, where you taunt them about how there aren't that many of them), you should only have to fight 1 of them. If you choose to use a sign to calm them, you only have to fight 2. Either way, you should easily be able to knock them out and get the achievement. If not, just reload and try again.

*Missable Trophy*
You can find a fistfight at the "Inn at the Crossroads" fast travel point on the Velen map. Go into the inn and there will be some men fighting in the corner. Talk to them to participate. When the fight starts you must immediately hold down the block-button. After blocking your opponent's strikes you use strong attacks to break his defense and take them out.

If there’s nobody in this inn then you must keep playing the story for a bit and return later. See Brawl Master for all fistfights. You can also earn this from fistfights during story missions or side quests. Just be careful, as there is a limited amount of fights that you can participate in. That is why this trophy is missable, so make sure you do a backup save in case you don't get this.

This achievement can be obtained early in the game while in Velen. If you head on over to the Inn at the Crossroads fast travel point, there will be a fistfight tournament going on inside the Inn (provided you triggered the "Fist Fights: Velen" side quest).

When you enter the building, make your way to left where a crowd will be cheering and fighting. Talk to the orator here and choose to enter the fight against Smithy. As soon as the fight begins, hold down the block button immediately as this will counter Smithy’s first punch and disorient him. Before he can recover, use a strong swing to break his defense and quickly take him out. Two strong hits should see Smithy defeated and the achievement unlocked.

If, according to the plot, when leaving the tavern during a fist fight, you were unable to take this trophy, then you can make this trophy in a fist fight at the fast travel point At the Crossroads ( Innat the Crossroads ) On the map of Velen. Go to the hotel and talk to the man to start a fist fight. As soon as the fight starts, immediately hold the block button, as soon as your opponent hits you, hit him with a power blow to break through his defense and knock him out.

Detailed video on where to find it and how to do it.

In the story quest: Family Matters there will be a 1 on 1 fight with the baron - you win without suffering damage and the trophy is yours

The trophy is simple, you can JUST hit a couple of times any weak Persian who will be on your fist (I had it in a quest where we were following a thief in Novigrad to find the king of the beggars) and just set him on fire with Igni.

He dies from Igni - our achievement.

From what was written above, near the tavern, just reload the penultimate checkpoint, it will be just after you ask the people in the tavern, it’s enough to take out one of the three bastards and the trophy is yours.

In a one-on-one battle, this is easy to do. For example, a fight with the baron. We keep our sights on the enemy, and do not attack the enemy, constantly moving away from him. As soon as the enemy swings, press and to the side, so we dodge the blow and then carry out a strong attack . In the battle with the baron, he gets 4-5 hits and wins. If you suffer damage, then let the baron defeat you and restart the last save. The main thing is not to go in first.

Everything is very simple.

In the White Garden location, after visiting the tavern and receiving information regarding Yenifer, leaving the tavern, you will be met by local servants, numbering three people. To simplify knocking out, throw Axiy (select the dialogue with the “Axiy” icon), it passes 100%.

During a fist fight, you can separate your opponents, thanks to the corral on the left, one will enter, and the second will wait, trying to approach, but will stumble over an obstacle.

The block protects from damage, but I did it without it to avoid any special trophy scripts.

You knock one down (later in the story you will meet the local servants again, but for the last time), and you get a trophy.
