Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This powerful move can significantly simplify even the toughest early-game encounters. Here's how to unlock and utilize this game-changer.
Unlocking the Master Strike:
The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the tutorial and gaining access to the open world, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll point you towards Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.
Find Tomcat in the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Complete "Combat Training I," a relatively straightforward task. Then, save your game before engaging Tomcat for "Combat Training II"—a much more challenging duel. Victory in this fight unlocks the Master Strike. Consider boosting your Strength stat beforehand to improve your chances of success. A failed attempt will leave Henry significantly weakened, hence the importance of saving.
Mastering the Master Strike:
This technique is exclusive to sword combat. The key is precise timing and positioning. Observe your opponent's weapon stance. If they're attacking from the left, hold your sword to the right (and vice-versa).
As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will appear centrally on the screen. The instant this icon appears, press your attack button. Henry will execute the Master Strike, parrying the incoming attack and instantly countering with an unblockable blow. Remember, accurate timing and opposite weapon positioning are crucial for success.
The Master Strike is a game-changer in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat scenarios.
