Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This powerful move significantly simplifies melee encounters, especially in the early game. Here's how to unlock and utilize it:
Unlocking the Master Strike:
The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the initial tutorial and gaining access to the open world, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.
Find Tomcat at the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Complete "Combat Training I," then save your game before attempting "Combat Training II." This second quest is considerably harder. Defeating Tomcat in sword combat during "Combat Training II" unlocks the Master Strike. Consider boosting your Strength stat before tackling this challenge to increase your chances of success. Saving before each attempt is crucial, as failure can leave Henry severely injured.
Using the Master Strike:
The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. Observe your opponent's weapon stance. Position your sword opposite their attack direction (e.g., if they attack from the left, hold your sword to the right).
As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will appear centrally on the screen. Immediately press the attack button to execute the Master Strike. This flawlessly parries the incoming attack and launches an unblockable counterattack. Precise timing and correct sword positioning are key.
Master Strike's Impact:
The Master Strike is incredibly effective, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat encounters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
