[KCD2] Menhard practice duel glitchy escapades! Locked in combat with the Meister himself.

After completing the quest to make Master Menhard the true Meister of Kuttenberg, I was told to wait a few days for him to take over. After getting the prompt to "See Menhard" (heh) I hurried over and talked to him, receiving his sword and a promise to teach me. I learned his combo, and then promptly asked for a duel to test the new combo out.

We started the duel, I did the combo a bit, but menhard refused to attack me. I tried the speaking option but it only let me yell obscenities at him and gave me no option for surrender. Eventually, he tired out or something and asked me what to do next, and I said I'd better rest to attempt an escape from this never-ending duel (around 20 minutes straight of whacking him).

After this it finally let me leave the arena, but unfortunately Menhard wasn't finished with me! He re-instated combat with me and began chasing me around town, never attacking, just circling me with his sword raised. The townsfolk and guards acted like nothing was happening, and I couldn't access any menus, wait, or save and reload.

So I decided to do the only thing I could think and try the infinite combat glitch solutions from KCD 1. I whistled for my horse (Stop that whistling!), and galloped as fast as I could towards Grund to try and make him give up. I got into combat with bandits on the way and defeated them, that didn't help. He didn't give up, and I assume he was still slowly jogging after me from Kuttenberg to get me. So then I did the two methods of release from KCD 1 by punching a guard. I payed my fine, and Menhard was still after me. I went to be lashed, Menhard was still after me.

At this point I had been running from this menace for 30 minutes and decided to cut my losses and load a save (image is from right before I gave up, note that annoying little rabbit still harassing me at the top). I didn't attempt the "drink 'till you drop" method cause I was at wit's end at this point, so I'm not sure if that one works or not.

If anyone gets this glitch and finds a way to get around it without loading a save, leave a comment and god be with you.

EDIT: I play on PC by the way, thanks for the reminder automod.
