Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This powerful move significantly simplifies combat, especially in the early game. Here's how to unlock and utilize it.
Unlocking the Master Strike:
To learn the Master Strike, you must first complete a series of combat training quests. After finishing the tutorial, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat in the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut).
Initiate the "Combat Training I" quest with Tomcat. This is relatively straightforward. After completing it, save your game! Then, engage Tomcat for "Combat Training II," a considerably more challenging fight. Victory in this duel is key to learning the Master Strike. Consider boosting your Strength stat before attempting this quest to improve your chances of success. Saving before each attempt is highly recommended.
Utilizing the Master Strike:
The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. During a fight, observe your opponent's weapon stance. Position your sword in the opposite direction of their attack. For example, if they're attacking from the left, hold your sword to the right.
As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will briefly appear centrally on the screen. Press your attack button immediately upon seeing this icon to execute the Master Strike. This perfectly parries their attack and instantly counters with an unstoppable blow. Precise timing and correct sword positioning are crucial.
The Master Strike is a game-changer in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat encounters. Master this technique and conquer the game's challenges with ease! For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides and strategies, check out The Escapist.
