I swear Henry is a god of war honestly. I hope they it cannon that he is able to fight off groups of men with ease, given the perks and some side quests it’s seems likely it’ll happen anyway
Games good it werent for the paperdoll clipping..my eyes hurt everytime i see the NPC walk "into" literally into another NPC body..even medieval dynasty doesnt have this issue..XD but i gues its normal for an old game with no beta testers
I checked it. In short Henry just told "I challenged Hagen to a duel but he was too strong so I run off." It looks like devs didn't prepare dialogue for this ending. It really disappointed me.
During that one mission where you have to scout out that camp full of bandits and Cuman I somehow killed them all. I was wearing the best armor I could get and had good enough skills and perks unlocked that I somehow killed them all and was on deaths door. Granted I was playing on the normal difficulty, still it was tense and I pretty much went Berserk on them like Guts.
If you talk about the one where you get captured in the end and you have to escape afterwards, i failed to escape stealth and i blasted them all via a glitch below a corridor near the wall 🤣
scallagar? the town you can buy and upgrade in the DLC? yeah I killed everyone there too :P shot arrows at the church tried to find away in there too. poisoned all food pots. burned all arrows. looted every body and left them all in their skibbies piled up on the left bridge. came back with Radzig and some how they had reinforcement :(.
I was having a tough fight wielding a sword. I figured since he was wearing plate, I could just use a mace instead, lmao the fight barely lasted 2min tops. Maces are REALLY OP against plate, just like real life i guess
On Dequitem's channel he tests weapons against armor and maces don't really do anything to plate in real life. His buddies wail on him and he says it's pretty mild
@@DWH84are you kidding me? maces absolutely effect armor because maces were made for breaking armor? idk where you got this misinformation from but try getting hit by a sword with armor and a mace, the difference is a scratch on your armor and your ribs cracked
@@aoelobi Against plate armour there really isn't any medieval weapon that's effective. Even the weapons that are the most effective against plate aka polearms have a difficult time killing someone in full plate. Usually, knight vs knight encounters end in wrestling to tear the armour off each other and stabbing with your knife.
I lucked out and dropped him with the headcracker on the 3rd parry. Was pretty anti-climatic. Then continued to poke all the dorks not wearing face protection in the eye.
@@nunyanunya4147I did the same but I found it to be fitting built up throughout the game just to be weak without his man and gets knocked the fuck out
It can be funny, randomly 1 shotting an important enemy, but i will say i wish i didnt select that perk. Now that i learned the combat and understand it, Headcracker kind of robs that experience every now and then.
@@armintor2826nah man if your getting jumped that perk is a god given gift. I am EXTREMELY thankful for it, because I have the best luck to Always run into/be ambushed by groups at all times aha😂
@@armintor2826 Yeah but useful as hell when you get ambushed 😂. It saved me a few times that I was getting jumped and able to knock out a few to make thr fight easier. Thankfully I also poison my weapons with lullaby to make it also a instant win in those cases. I learned the hard way that the end game goal is to live 😂
@@nunyanunya4147 kcd is janky as hell lol, still the game is a ton of fun once you can consistently pull off combos and masterstrike as well and I love an RPG where it lets you actually figure things out rather than just go waypoint to waypoint
Very nice my friend! Was shouting tactics at the screen the whole time haha "go for the light armoured first, get this bandit out the way! If it was real life id bind his sword arm and headbutt the cu*t in his unarmoured face"
😂 the final 2 bandits was a fail with the auto lock not being able to switch between then due to them running right and left causing the second spamming me without my defence key actually blocking the hits lol
my god how many times they gonna say taken wooden sword lmap hope you went for his knee i use to be an adventure once too then i took a arrow to the knee
when I fought him, I let him go, then hit him anyway, he ran off and I dodged his squad, disapointed that I couldn't get his shit, I sat there contemplating, then out of nowhere, I spot him going back for his sword and shield, so I got it anyway!
I know the game was designed so you'd be fighting a duel or 1v2/1v3 but that shit gets annoying when they start sprinting around you and doing those attacks from behind that sends Henry stumbling all over the place.
Just did this quest yesterday. As soon as the fight started, I flanked the opposing army and took out Zoul first. Once he was dealt with I looked around and Kuno's entire band had already gone down. They maybe killed 3 people. Henry was left surrounded by the rest of the army. I barely survived on a sliver of health. Once the last man went down, I stood there for a couple minuets trying to absorb the craziness I'd just endured.
so i realized from recent run that high leveled enemies like sir zoul, full armor bandits, cuman commanders, or last opponent on rattay tourney are damn hard to beat with regular strikes due to their ability to use perfect guard or land master strike. also it takes forever to just wait for their strike and perform master strike too and it is boring too cuz the only key you spam will be q key however, they become really dumb when henry wins on binding, making them venerable and open short time window to land any kind of normal attack, especially stabbing. since by the time of gameplay that henry faces sir zoul his strength usually reaches its max, and with strength perk it is almost certain wining from bind state this made my combat in tge game much more interesting than just being super passive and waiting for enemy's attack to spam q key, or have unpleasant experience of keep getting countered for trying to land normal attack
Does it get any better to keep up the cycle of perfect blocks and swings later on? Most of the time, it ends with me getting hit with a master strike after two or three times
We all love kingdom come and it’s combat style but if we’re honest it leave a bit to be desired and can be wonky at times (maybe I just need to be better) but IMAGINE a ghost of Tsushima type game set in the kingdom come universe with the rpg elements that would be fire imo
Watching two heavily armoured knighs fight with sharp swords really breaks the immersion for me. They could do this for hours and none of them would get hurt. I really wish that swords were ineffective against armoured enemies in this game. It would make the player have to switch weapons for different opponents and therefore creating a much more realistic game mechanic.
There are ways to use a sword more efficiently against a armoured opponent. Its just a sword isint the most efficient compared to other weapons, but it certainly isint useless.
They are ineffective. Maces work significantly better. In the end, a sword is still a hunk of metal, and if you swing it hard enough, it can still transfer enough force into your opponent's body to hurt them.
@@TheGreatJinx Historically if they were using swords in a duel against an armored opponent then they'd Half-sword or Murder strike(Turn the sword around and use as club). If that failed then they'd start rolling around on the ground and try to jab a dagger through a gap, Duels were brutal back in the day.
It certainly wasnt hardcore mode when i started the game 3 years ago i chose the easier difficulty so i could learn the game. In a future video ive downloaded a mod that makes the save hardcore without hud etc.
I dont get why this game gets so much praise. The combat looks so floaty/clunky and your sight seems to clip through everything, including your own face!
aqua vitalis is a must for this quest. well for really any quest that involves you having to face >3 enemies. you just one shot people and it takes about 5-6 direct hits for you to take even a lick of damage. I played this dlc and i got all of Zunos men to participate in the battle but they all died like seconds in and so when i fought them I have to face Zuno and the rest of them all at once. I was still at like 75 health and I decimated them.
if you convince kuno with either speech or groschen to keep serve as sir radzig's mercenary then they will join fight this is the case when you failed to convince him, he takes zoul's groschen then cancels mercenary contract with radzig immediately then leave if you visit his campsite, unlike the case of when you convinced kuno, their camp disappeared immediately
@@17MrLeon yes when you fail to convince Kuno then this video's cutscene plays and Henry challenges duel to sir Zoul sir Zoul, as Kuno or Radzig mention during dlc conversations, seem like rather honorable mercenary and he tries to keep act like nobility even he lost his land and castle. so sir Zoul accepts Henry's challenge
Kingdom comes biggest flaw to me is just how quickly you outpace the games difficulty. When I played against Sir Hagen I beat the hell out of him in like 30 seconds without taking a hit. Not because I’m particularly good. Because my Henry was just a worldbeater.
Tbh you need to train again and again with the chief in Rattay until you learn combos and master strikes, although when i played this recording it was after couple months of break and i didnt remember many combos and always try to give the AI the first move so you counter attack cuz if you try to attack first and the AI is high level they will always master strike you which is annoying just like in the vid
Honestly it's your level/equipment what really changes the difficulty of a fight But there are also a few tricks that you can pull off that personally helped me a lot, for example - Enemies NEVER attack while they're talking/breathing and tend to initiate an attack after finishing their lines. You can use this to either guarantee a safe grapple while they're talking/breathing, or to wait it out to execute a master cut after they're finished - The way the game teaches you to "always be moving" is wrong; you don't need to always move. If you stand still, your opponent is also going to stand still and won't chase you nor get away from you. In the other hand, if you keep retreating, your opponent will start chasing you, and if you chase your opponent, then he'll be retreating. You can use this to control your opponent by making them chase you and then force them to grapple, or making them retreat in case you're too weak to grapple - When fighting multiple people, if someone suddenly starts running at you, it means they'll initiate an attack as soon as they're in distance. Use this to time a master cut as soon as they get to you - This one is very tricky, but by moving forward and backwards to get in and out of your opponent's distance, you may make them initiate an attack while you barely get out of distance Doing this properly will give you a very small window where they can't parry and you'll be able to attack and get a free hit. This tends to be easier when using a longsword, and harder (but still possible) when using smaller weapons
I convinced the mercs to stay and won first try. But everyone except me was dead so i thought i woukd try to safe everyone and could not recreate the outcome after 10+ tries Ended up standing on a bish shooting everyone to death with my day whike they didnt understand how i got up there. You are my personal hero
Comments from a former swordsman: Your one-on-one combat ability is simply a mess. If it weren't for the fact that your well-equipped equipment has protected your vital points many times. As a rookie, you might have died by the opponent's sword... Maybe you should open a new save and try to kill all the living creatures in your sight. When you succeed and still survive, you will be an outstanding swordsman master...
Lol i prefer a cinematic fight like this getting yeet than spam master strikes and wait the other dude to hit especially against a good AI that wont let you do combos
First time I fought him in a duel he did not surrender so he just laid down and died after all his men just came by and prayed for him I felt a bit bad
"you should have taken a wooden sword sir" "you should have taken a wooden sword sir" "you should have taken a wooden sword sir" "you should have taken a wooden sword sir" "you should have taken a wooden sword sir" "you should have taken a wooden sword sir" "you should have taken a wooden sword sir"
This is insane...fighting the most armoured enemy in the entire game then having to fight a 1 vs 10?... honestly without cheesing the game , i don't see how you can win that.
It's quite easy with best equipment and combat level. Having sword called "Sting", which have 79 based stab dmg really helps. You need only keep stabbing your opponents and counter attack them.
@@mavess9161 yeah, you can also convince Kuno to stay and fight if you pass a (buggy) speech check, or remind him of his honor (requires you to question jakey about his betrayal and let him go)
@@chitandaeru7239 IIRC there was a speech/charisma check, maybe you have to torture him if you fail? Ik I didn't torture him and he still told me about the bribe
If you use the ramparts you can kill the whole Cuman camp during the "reconneisance" mission. The amount of loot from that slaughter kept me rich the entire game.
Oh yes, I've done the same, don't remember where but probably where you said, only I used a cave to cover my ass. I've been fighting Cumans standing almost inside a cave, don't remember for how long but holy shit was I loaded with loot when I finished. Had to come back a few times, too much loot to carry at once. Is that recon mission and if you slaughter the entire camp by yourself Radzig then tells you you're mad or something? Been a few years since I've played.
lol I did this but just dragged them out of the base and kited them with bow/horse lol. not exactly the most honorable method but it def paid the bills.
I didn't pay attention to cutscenes and objectives and simply charged in to the camp, wearing a breastplate and mail. They were actually surprisingly easy, even the archers barely dented my armour even though I had mostly mail. 24 killed, Long swords have an absurd amount of reach.
@@Master_Ki_Adi_Mundi I believe he's referring to the Magdeburg Cuirass. I can't remember where I found it or bought it, but it does match those Augsburg plate pauldrons really well. BTW, where did you find those brass decorated leg greaves? Are they a mod?
@@whiteymcprivileged2168 Looks like Augsburg, which can be found in a very hard locked chest from one of the maps, but not on hardcore. The only way I know of to get them on hc is from a bandit much later in the game (I don't wanna spoil it since it's a major point in the plot, you can look it up if interested)
The Robber Baron (rich high level bandit leader) at the camp just East of the Sasau Monastery wears the Blackened/Blued Magdeburg Cuirass. Its the camp you can find on your map because it has the smoke symbol rising from it. I just wish the armor sets in game had consistent matching stats. The Nuremburg Cuirass is the top cuirass while the Magdeburg Arms and Chausses are best
This just further cements how in gameplay and in Canon Henry is basically a one Man Army that singlehandedly defends the entire region from almost any single threat .It makes him as noble as he is scary . Although the lack of Combos and Ripostes is ... not good .
i never knew you can fight them all alone! haha. good job lad! btw, to fight full armor, its better to use mace. one or two hit already killed the person. sword is used to fight slightly armoured person, such as the archer. use the st. george's sword for best overall stats. thanks for the video man!really love it!😁
For this guy it really makes no difference. He's a slugger even against some of the best weapons in the game. Though with headknocker perk and a Warhammer, you can spam the overhead strike and kill him pretty fast, since like the tourneys he do3snt get knocked out, he just loses a bunch of health.
@@plaguepandemic5651 haha im not giving him anything. just saying whats best weapon to use against this kind of enemy. theres no shame in using sword at all. maybe he's just using the sword to get more exp to level up swording in game. who knows.
I defeated him in one hit (headcracker), very anti-climactic... entire DLC BoB was kinda disappointing, great idea but not so great execution (no pun intended). Completely opposite of A Woman's Lot: I didn't expect much but such a great DLC, especially Johanka/Inquisition questline (probably the best I've ever played)
Yeah Johanka's part of the dlc was amazing! This along with Han's Capon and the From the Ashes DLC were not that great... Short and unfinished tbh... Great as you said but not much ive played literal side quests which were better than the entire DLC lol
I enjoyed the BoB but I thought it was too short. My last playthrough I paid Kuno and his men to fight with me against Zoul and his lot. During the battle Kuno was killed and after we'd achieved victory the remaining 2 or 3 BoB turned against me like rabid dogs. Before this I had been quite well liked among them. Oh well, 🤷 I got Zoul's armor and Kuno's Stinger out of it
Really loved this fight and it took me a couple of tries but i managed to win the fight with no companions dying. Was really really proud, and after the fight they shared a few words, told me to meet back at camp and poof they were gone. Decided to reload and follow them, and because they were all scripted to die during the fight them surviving means that once they got a certain distance from the battlefield they would all just keel over and die. Really sad the devs scripted this and a very sad day for such a merry merry band.
@@christianarciga8500 the more you play this game, the more you realise this game is just good at pretending your choices matter. i wanted to test my "theory" and when on a mission to follow the bishop and convince him it's all christians in here, i straight-up killed him and the bailif (quest giver) yelled at me but IN PRACTICE, nothing changed, he still gave me the next mission etc. i think the realistic outcome would be for me to never be invited near the castle again lol
I didnt want to spam the master strikes also the recording was played after a 2 years break so i had lots of stuff to remember etc so yeah not an expert but yeeet
I never understood why so many people use swords late game. I basically told myself on my second playthrough that I was going to use nothing but mace. Pretty much every fight is either one hit to the face or a clinch followed by one to two hits to the face and dead.
That's why this game is garbage. The only people that play and enjoy this game are braindead organisms that will play any game a company puts in front of them and praise it as though it is the greatest thing they've ever witnessed.
I picklocked and stole armors and weapons whole sasau and rattay, got some from bandits and cumans too, I put them all in Peshek's chest and 3 days later, he got 240k from all the loot, just grabbed them shiny doubloons then skidaddle to pribiyzlavits for rebuilding.
Thats why I'd get rid of Zoul's men first, to shut them up. On a horseback, and later on, unscathed 1v1 in silence. After making him see his men being killed one by one.
-defeats the most armored enemy in the game
-kills 10 men whilst they all fight him at once
-leaves
truly a kingdom come deliverance moment
-loots the dead and leaves

if you convince kuno with either speech or groschen to keep serve as sir radzig's mercenary then they will join fight
this is the case when you failed to convince him, he takes zoul's groschen then cancels mercenary contract with radzig immediately then leave
if you visit his campsite, unlike the case of when you convinced kuno, their camp disappeared immediately
@@999masijjyeong I didn't know that. So if you are alone Zoul fights you alone instead his army?
@@17MrLeon
yes when you fail to convince Kuno then this video's cutscene plays and Henry challenges duel to sir Zoul
sir Zoul, as Kuno or Radzig mention during dlc conversations, seem like rather honorable mercenary and he tries to keep act like nobility even he lost his land and castle. so sir Zoul accepts Henry's challenge
what armor are you using it looks sick
Magdeburg Cuirass
Augsburg pauldrons, hand and leg plates.
Italian Bascinet
Then chainmail + gambeson etc

Kingdom comes biggest flaw to me is just how quickly you outpace the games difficulty. When I played against Sir Hagen I beat the hell out of him in like 30 seconds without taking a hit. Not because I’m particularly good. Because my Henry was just a worldbeater.
1v1? press q henry wins
Wait what Whats this 💀 i see this for the first time
What Quest is this ? Is it DLC? I finished the game once but don't remember this Quest
Band of bastards DLC
Is this a dlc?
@@tonerz0fdubb716 Yeah band of bastards!
13:06 why get off the horse in that situation? 😅
Best amour
the fighting in this game is the clumsiest weirdest crap. they just run straight at you. its so unsettling looking.
Real - its made for one on one engagements
any tips for fighting makes me so angry sometimes lol and i stayed at beginning and lvled up
Tbh you need to train again and again with the chief in Rattay until you learn combos and master strikes, although when i played this recording it was after couple months of break and i didnt remember many combos and always try to give the AI the first move so you counter attack cuz if you try to attack first and the AI is high level they will always master strike you which is annoying just like in the vid
Honestly it's your level/equipment what really changes the difficulty of a fight
But there are also a few tricks that you can pull off that personally helped me a lot, for example
- Enemies NEVER attack while they're talking/breathing and tend to initiate an attack after finishing their lines.
You can use this to either guarantee a safe grapple while they're talking/breathing, or to wait it out to execute a master cut after they're finished
- The way the game teaches you to "always be moving" is wrong; you don't need to always move. If you stand still, your opponent is also going to stand still and won't chase you nor get away from you. In the other hand, if you keep retreating, your opponent will start chasing you, and if you chase your opponent, then he'll be retreating.
You can use this to control your opponent by making them chase you and then force them to grapple, or making them retreat in case you're too weak to grapple
- When fighting multiple people, if someone suddenly starts running at you, it means they'll initiate an attack as soon as they're in distance.
Use this to time a master cut as soon as they get to you
- This one is very tricky, but by moving forward and backwards to get in and out of your opponent's distance, you may make them initiate an attack while you barely get out of distance
Doing this properly will give you a very small window where they can't parry and you'll be able to attack and get a free hit. This tends to be easier when using a longsword, and harder (but still possible) when using smaller weapons
@@SanosukeEindride appreciate the tips my man
know what lvls are not really time sensative so you can just lvl everything@@SanosukeEindride
@coryryder9070 you mean like, what levels/stats are most/least essential to level up?
That was cool
Lmao the first time i did this fight, i got the headcracker on the first swing and knocked bro unconscious. Looted his gear and left 😂
Bet you felt quite hungry as well lol
@@Master_Ki_Adi_Mundi always 😂
I rely need to finish this game
Man, this was such a good game but the combat loop has major issues with the parrying. Too bad...
I convinced the mercs to stay and won first try. But everyone except me was dead so i thought i woukd try to safe everyone and could not recreate the outcome after 10+ tries
Ended up standing on a bish shooting everyone to death with my day whike they didnt understand how i got up there.
You are my personal hero
Comments from a former swordsman:
Your one-on-one combat ability is simply a mess. If it weren't for the fact that your well-equipped equipment has protected your vital points many times. As a rookie, you might have died by the opponent's sword...
Maybe you should open a new save and try to kill all the living creatures in your sight. When you succeed and still survive, you will be an outstanding swordsman master...
Lol i prefer a cinematic fight like this getting yeet than spam master strikes and wait the other dude to hit especially against a good AI that wont let you do combos
I love how Sir Hagen casually walks to his horse like nothing happened lol
Men were men back then
And then he proceeds to shit himself when he realizes Henry is not only alive but running his as down🤣
@@thadevilzadvocate and they were so sexy right
is that a dlc?
Yes called band of bastards, its very good!
First time I fought him in a duel he did not surrender so he just laid down and died after all his men just came by and prayed for him I felt a bit bad
Same happened to me
same happened to me yesterday, so i did a merciful kill and everyone came back after me, so it was a reload and fight him again

This is insane...fighting the most armoured enemy in the entire game then having to fight a 1 vs 10?... honestly without cheesing the game , i don't see how you can win that.
It's quite easy with best equipment and combat level. Having sword called "Sting", which have 79 based stab dmg really helps. You need only keep stabbing your opponents and counter attack them.
@@mavess9161 yeah, you can also convince Kuno to stay and fight if you pass a (buggy) speech check, or remind him of his honor (requires you to question jakey about his betrayal and let him go)
@@aniwaya6871Nah for the Jakey part you can just torture him by leaving him alone and then you get what you want while his life is in your hands.

If you use the ramparts you can kill the whole Cuman camp during the "reconneisance" mission. The amount of loot from that slaughter kept me rich the entire game.
Oh yes, I've done the same, don't remember where but probably where you said, only I used a cave to cover my ass. I've been fighting Cumans standing almost inside a cave, don't remember for how long but holy shit was I loaded with loot when I finished. Had to come back a few times, too much loot to carry at once. Is that recon mission and if you slaughter the entire camp by yourself Radzig then tells you you're mad or something? Been a few years since I've played.
lol I did this but just dragged them out of the base and kited them with bow/horse lol. not exactly the most honorable method but it def paid the bills.
I didn't pay attention to cutscenes and objectives and simply charged in to the camp, wearing a breastplate and mail. They were actually surprisingly easy, even the archers barely dented my armour even though I had mostly mail. 24 killed, Long swords have an absurd amount of reach.
what kept me rich is the slaughter of Rattay :X
Why bother when your already an Alchemy tycoon lol

Finally!!! A youtuber whose Henry does not dress like shit.
You should be using the brass decorated armor though.
Thank you! I was unable to find the armor you mention at the time of the recording.
@@Master_Ki_Adi_Mundi I believe he's referring to the Magdeburg Cuirass. I can't remember where I found it or bought it, but it does match those Augsburg plate pauldrons really well. BTW, where did you find those brass decorated leg greaves? Are they a mod?
@@whiteymcprivileged2168 Looks like Augsburg, which can be found in a very hard locked chest from one of the maps, but not on hardcore. The only way I know of to get them on hc is from a bandit much later in the game (I don't wanna spoil it since it's a major point in the plot, you can look it up if interested)
The Robber Baron (rich high level bandit leader) at the camp just East of the Sasau Monastery wears the Blackened/Blued Magdeburg Cuirass. Its the camp you can find on your map because it has the smoke symbol rising from it. I just wish the armor sets in game had consistent matching stats. The Nuremburg Cuirass is the top cuirass while the Magdeburg Arms and Chausses are best
This just further cements how in gameplay and in Canon Henry is basically a one Man Army that singlehandedly defends the entire region from almost any single threat .It makes him as noble as he is scary .
Although the lack of Combos and Ripostes is ... not good .
I beat the game on Xbox 1 without Master strokes.
Not bad, Henry of Skalitz.
"God save you Henry"
That line the soldier said at 8:43 couldn’t have came at a worst time 🤣🤣
i never knew you can fight them all alone! haha. good job lad! btw, to fight full armor, its better to use mace. one or two hit already killed the person. sword is used to fight slightly armoured person, such as the archer. use the st. george's sword for best overall stats. thanks for the video man!really love it!😁
Thank you!
Blunt weaponry for heavily armoured foes, yes.
For this guy it really makes no difference. He's a slugger even against some of the best weapons in the game. Though with headknocker perk and a Warhammer, you can spam the overhead strike and kill him pretty fast, since like the tourneys he do3snt get knocked out, he just loses a bunch of health.
This guy won a 1v10 and you're giving him basic combat advice😂
@@plaguepandemic5651 haha im not giving him anything. just saying whats best weapon to use against this kind of enemy. theres no shame in using sword at all. maybe he's just using the sword to get more exp to level up swording in game. who knows.
I defeated him in one hit (headcracker), very anti-climactic... entire DLC BoB was kinda disappointing, great idea but not so great execution (no pun intended). Completely opposite of A Woman's Lot: I didn't expect much but such a great DLC, especially Johanka/Inquisition questline (probably the best I've ever played)
Yeah Johanka's part of the dlc was amazing! This along with Han's Capon and the From the Ashes DLC were not that great... Short and unfinished tbh... Great as you said but not much ive played literal side quests which were better than the entire DLC lol
I enjoyed the BoB but I thought it was too short. My last playthrough I paid Kuno and his men to fight with me against Zoul and his lot. During the battle Kuno was killed and after we'd achieved victory the remaining 2 or 3 BoB turned against me like rabid dogs. Before this I had been quite well liked among them. Oh well, 🤷 I got Zoul's armor and Kuno's Stinger out of it

@@Master_Ki_Adi_Mundi i rode through in full plate didn't bother with washing away my sins because it would take an ocean to manage to make a scratch
Really loved this fight and it took me a couple of tries but i managed to win the fight with no companions dying. Was really really proud, and after the fight they shared a few words, told me to meet back at camp and poof they were gone. Decided to reload and follow them, and because they were all scripted to die during the fight them surviving means that once they got a certain distance from the battlefield they would all just keel over and die. Really sad the devs scripted this and a very sad day for such a merry merry band.
Are you serious? I haven’t finished the game but if this is true, that’s BS. Now imma make sure they all fight instead of me fighting by myself 😂
@@christianarciga8500 the more you play this game, the more you realise this game is just good at pretending your choices matter. i wanted to test my "theory" and when on a mission to follow the bishop and convince him it's all christians in here, i straight-up killed him and the bailif (quest giver) yelled at me but IN PRACTICE, nothing changed, he still gave me the next mission etc. i think the realistic outcome would be for me to never be invited near the castle again lol
Well, you play pretty poorly, but the video nicely illustrates the missed potential of the combat system with the master strike spam.
I didnt want to spam the master strikes also the recording was played after a 2 years break so i had lots of stuff to remember etc so yeah not an expert but yeeet
I never understood why so many people use swords late game. I basically told myself on my second playthrough that I was going to use nothing but mace. Pretty much every fight is either one hit to the face or a clinch followed by one to two hits to the face and dead.
I totally agree with you. But i like the cinematic sauce and to tryhard my ass against armored enemies 😮💨🤌
@@Master_Ki_Adi_Mundi Then there's the forbidden bow only strategy where you 1v12 and aim for the visors of the helmets.
Same 🤚
Head cracker perk and bailiff mace to dispense justice. I made sir Robard proud 😂
maybe cause swords have so many combo moves and the other weapons are just boring in comparison
Longswords have much better range
11:47 Guy got knocked out so hard he had no idea what's going on rn 🤣
The ai can be annoying in this game literally master striking or perfect blocking every attack
That's why this game is garbage. The only people that play and enjoy this game are braindead organisms that will play any game a company puts in front of them and praise it as though it is the greatest thing they've ever witnessed.
Bravo. I felt like a boss 1v5 on bandits, but this was beautiful.
Patience is the way to victory.
Hagen: * getting his ass beaten*
Soldier: you should have taken a wooden sword sir
Me: 🤣
I bonked him once with the ceremonial mace and he was ded. I'm almost done with the game and i have 176k Groschen because i looted EVERYONE hihi.
I picklocked and stole armors and weapons whole sasau and rattay, got some from bandits and cumans too, I put them all in Peshek's chest and 3 days later, he got 240k from all the loot, just grabbed them shiny doubloons then skidaddle to pribiyzlavits for rebuilding.

Thats why I'd get rid of Zoul's men first, to shut them up.
