@pedrolopesmateus: Yea I do not think being able to beat army means you beat Geralt, as Dettlaff can do same and Geralt still beat him in the end just fine. That said, I am not much of an expert on Berserk tbh, but you know a lot more about it than me, how would you say Zodd compares to Dettlaff?
I think Zodd is worse than Dettlaff in every way tbh. Scaling to Geralt in speed >> scaling above Guts. Zodd's stand-alone speed feats are like supersonic (sonic booms made while flying), nothing above Higher Vamps.
Zodd's strength feats are in the 10's of tons range. He ripped apart Wyald, a 4 meters tall beast, and flew through a castle's roof. But I don't think it compared to Dettlaff breaking like hundreds of tons of rock.
Ironically enough, Zodd stands a better chance if he sticks to his human form. While in it, he can actually properly leverage his strength and skill, while his Apostle form just makes him a bigger target, and he stops using a sword altogether, opting instead for the Hulk-smash approach. And if a beaten-up, early Golden Age Guts can injure him, and Griffith can easily slice off his arm, you can imagine what Geralt would do to him.
@pedrolopesmateus: Yea Regis can violenty shake huge underground chamber just as a side effect of trashing inside of cage
And this is the lowest possible result.
In the books, Regis is somewhat implied to be able to "lay waste" to the Stygga Castle:
"I feel such a strength I could probably lay waste to this entire castle", hissed the vampire, smiling gruseomely.
The witcher glanced at him suspiciously.
"Don't go that far,"

Dettlaff is confirmed to be the second most powerful vampire Geralt has ever encountered (the Unseen Elder would obviously be number one):
Throughout the many quests in this Duchy, you may be called upon to face some truly impressive adversaries, usually only for a single bout. These include a man-mountain clad in heavy armor, a strange Hermit with a supreme command of the water, a host of fairy-tale folk, and the second-most powerful Vampire you've ever met.

Yup, even a stone troll would have stomped Geralt in that case, or the Kayran, or Eredin, or Imlerith, etc.
Speaking of trolls...
An armor made by only "a good blacksmith" is capable of resisting a troll:
A good blacksmith can make a sword sharp enough to puncture the armor of the toughest and largest foes, or armor strong enough to resist a damn troll.
The Witcher Pen & Paper RPG
Yet even an ekimma, a lesser vampire, can shatter a top-quality armor forged by the dwarfs of Mahakam in one blow:
They are able to quickly land blow after blow capable of smashing even the best Mahakaman-made armor into tiny shards.
The Witcher III Bestiary
And we've seen Geralt taking and blocking hits from Dettlaff...
