Well, to be fair they are kinda responsible for all the killings. Henry only did kill all these people in order to gain the strength to kill all cumans!
Damn that seems like a good series that I would watch. The Serial Stitcher, knocking people late at night and stealing their clothes then repairing them and putting them back :P
@@bolverkr3239 Many thanks :) Hope the videos are worth you time. And as a side note, I did try to be a "Serial Sticher" before. I would knock people out steal all their clothes and repair them. Then I would put the clothes back on them fully repaired. Sadly people do not dress themselves again even if they have clothes in their inventory. I am guessing I will have to break into their house and steal their clothes in the boxes then repair them and put them back for them to wear them perhaps? Also side note, I believe everyone peasant in KCD has damaged clothes (besides undergarments). Not sure if that is an extra part of RP or that peasant clothes take damage over time? Interesting mechanic if true. I would make a series on that, but sadly giving everyone freshly sewn clothes is not that game breaking :P
Henry: *Goes on a murderous rampage, killing most of Skalitz and it's guards* Henry's father: "So I heard you've been throwing dung at Deutch's freshly whitewashed house. . ." (Edit: The replies to this comment contain major spoilers, avoid them if you are playing through KC:D for the first time!)
I do love the fact that Henry is running around town killing everyone and dad comes down and starts shouting. "Go back to the inn and get me cold beer"
One of my games have Henry killing over 100 generations of sheep in obe afternoon at Skalitz, beside robbing every seller and every guard outside the castle.
@@Optimusj1975 100's of generations of sheep slaughter lol. I am curious how you go about kill the sheep? Those little bastards just run around too much for my liking. Is there an easy way you found for containing them in a spot to make the stat grinding on them easier?
It's actually scary how psychotic Henry is. He just chokes people to death and breaks their necks, with no remorse or reaction. Friends, neighbours, fellow villagers. He just snaps their necks, swings a halberd in their heads, all while keeping that blank dead inside expression. Scary.
Yah. I even put off a bit about how ruthlessly he stomps on peasants necks. Like jeezz Henry! That was your childhood friend! I think this is why the cumans truly feared Henry. They knew they would get no mercy.
Glad you could make it over. No idea what caused a ton of people (well for me at least) to all show up at once. Strange things happen. Well I do have a couple more things to do on this game if everything goes alright :) I just need to have more free time to make that happen.
I like to think that Henry has a Hamster named Boo, that Henry talks to here and there. I believe the Hamster told Henry to purge the town, to save it ;)
Henry is a growing boy after all. But I like to think that Henry was just stuffing rotten beef into his mouth the entire time he was fighting the cumans.
Yup. I would not want them to fix this either to be honest. Honestly, the first few times playing this game I would've never done this or even thought it was possible. But now after beating the game a few times, this just add more "content" to the game. I do enjoy it :)
@@helicalgoose Yes. I do WANT the possiblity to break an openworld game. If I play an open world game I want to have as much freedom as possible. In reality we also could go crazy, mass murder and ending our owne life. Its our freedom. We can make somthing out of our live or we csn waste it and same should go for a real good open world game. At least in my opinion.
>without mods what? In case you didn't notice, he clearly has the bow reticle mod (or activated the reticle via console or whatnot) which makes shooting a lot easier. Might use other mods too.
@@JohnDoe-il4dz thats simply the default reticle you can enable with console commands, not a mod. all of this is possible in the regular game, as you can try for yourself
@@Adierit , well, mods, cheats, same thing. Enabling disabled feature via console is cheating. It's modifying the game, not playing it "as intended by developers". I'm not judging (playing with mods myself), I just hate it when people exaggerate and give undeserved praises.
I fear for the citizens of Skalitz in everyone's game now. They though the cumans were the real problem, yet they did not know that Henry was the true problem to be worried about.
If you want to do a lot of this without actually killing Skalitz people, you can just keep punching out Kunesh. Each time you KO him you get a chunk of XP for Strength, Agility, Warfare, and I think Vitality, plus whatever weapon/fists you used. I got to 20 in all of these that way. Kunesh doesn't report you to guards like others will and never dies, so he's perfect. Put on a movie or a few, it'll take a while. It's not quite as exciting as going around like a mad murderer like this. You can level stealth with a ton of knock outs, but somehow someone will find out eventually and you'll have to be careful with guards. If you don't want to kill anyone, be careful here as knocking someone out too many times will actually kill them. Except for Kunesh, strangle him all you want. I suggest taking the speech skills at the beginning since it and reading are the only skills in the game you can't cheese. If you want to do herbalism here too, there's enough plants in Skalitz to get you to between 15-20 depending on your diligence and if you have the numbskull xp penalty. Leg Day comes too late and offers just 1 xp per animation, and is not worth banking on to level your strength. Just punch out Kunesh hundreds of times. Various locks will relock around the town, so you can farm lockpicking XP here. Get the luck of the drunk drinking skill early to deal with the hardest relocking locks for the most xp. Speaking of drinking, drink all of the alcohol in Skalitz to level your drinking skill. Maybe save some of it for luck of the drunk. You can't pass out in the prologue from lack of energy or overdrinking. Don't take the ascetic perk until after the prologue, it'll slow down your booze consumption from being too full. You might find being this incredibly drunk all the time to be virtually unplayable. When you knock people out, steal all their clothes and equipment and repair it for easy maintenance XP. Then give their clothes back because you're a good lad, right? Maxing maintenance after getting your hands on the repair kits in town is the easiest skill to 20 in the game if you repair everyone's stuff. Forget about the tedious grinding wheel trick. I can't recall if shooting the sheep with a bow will level your huntsman, but they are at least great bow practice! When you go to kill the cows, then come back, the sheep will be back. Same with the cows. Play your cards right, you can max your stats without killing any Skalitz people. But it takes quite a bit longer than this method since Kunesh wastes so much time unconscious when he could be eating your knuckle sandwiches. If you're playing hardcore, there's nothing to be done to keep you from bleeding out during the horse chase. All you can do is kill what you can before making it to Talmberg. If you can kill anyone at all, you bleed out very quickly and can't waste much time. If you're doing no crime at all, just beat up Kunesh, pick flowers, and sell your flowers for booze. That's all you can really do in Skalitz, you goody two shoes.
Yah Kunesh use to work :( They patched him awhile ago to save poor Kunesh from being beaten non-stop by players. Now after you beat him up the first time his health is so low, that the next time he gets up he only has one hit and takes about 1-2 minutes to get back up. You could farm that, but not really worthwhile.
@@thaneofwhiterun3562 It is completely broken! Most cumans have like padded armor and can't stand up to a poke with that thing. But to be fair only the plate mail wearing bandits can last against a poking from the halberd. I am glad you can't carry the halberd around that easily. I mean you can go to the blacksmith and repair it while you're holding the weapon and it will get put into you pack to pull out later, but it is one of those annoying things to do. But IMO best "glass cannon" weapon.
lol :) I could never tell when the NPCs say "Jesus Christ be praised" if they like me or if they using it as a saying that I am not a good person. Sort of how some people say "Bless their heart"
@@helicalgoose It's neither, it's medieval Christendom so they're literally just praising god lol. "Bless your heart" is also strictly a southern US thing
Alternative: take speech in the two instances with your mother (speech is the hardest stat to raise until you get the speech perk 'final offer'). Then start picking herbs all over, get the 'leg day' perk, and from there on you will gain strength when picking herbs. Herb picking is totally legal, so pick as many as you like, and sell them off or trade them for maintenance kits. Choke out villagers whenever you can, when your strength is higher you can start choking out guards. You can store excess stuff in the chest in the house of your parents, you can return later in the game and sell it off if need be. Kit yourself out in the stuff that gives highest charisma, and start hunting sheep. They are much easier to hunt than cows or horses, and you get a lot more xp for a killing blow than for one that just hurts, so quantity matters big time. You might be seen by villagers and they will then call the guards on you, however, with high charisma and decent speech you can tell them you work for the local lord and get out of it without penalties, which actually raises your speech skill. Hunting sheep enables you to make xp much faster, making it much less of a grind.
I completely agree! I sort of just picked strength to shorten the time and show that you can go from out of the gates to having weapons and some armor instantly! But in a real game, pick Speech every time! Speech is tough or time consuming to obtain.
The Leg Day perk isn't worth it. It gives you only 1xp to strength whenever you start the animation. It doesn't scale with how many herbs you pick up, so it is practically useless.
Herd the sheep in the barn next to the hobo that beats you first, then cook the mutton in his home, stash extra stuff in his chest, then sell for profit. Good thing with the drop meat, wait for respawn - so its no longer stolen.. Genius!!! beating sheep is not feasible, as the hand does not reach there. Horses are good. Standing sheep are good bow practice. Killing the villagers I believe gives negative reputation with Skalitz after their ressurection. I will start again the game and go morally ok, since I can raise stats without violence - except stealth. Moffos gonna get strangled.
The only thing I wished is that I did the murder rampage sooner. (Oh that sounds terrible), but in terms of killing key people for certain missions. Like for the mission to throw dung at the house. You can kill the wife, deutsch and his son. What would happen if they're dead already? The problem is that if you get near the tavern the mission just starts to autoplay. I might try to revisit that, but I will have to level up a new Henry there to abuse the game for one mission. Might be fun. :)
The Cumans show up to Skalitz and discover the butchered carcasses of hundreds of villagers and cows. Henry, adorned in blood-drenched ill-fitting armor, steps out of a hovel with a halberd chipped and dulled from smashing thousands of pounds of human and animal bones. "I've been waiting for you."
If I had really good animation skills, I would totally have an introduction like that and make a small series out of that. The details you give makes me want to draw something like that :P But at last, that sort of series would take me about 3 years to learn how to draw that well and animate :P If I win the lotto, consider it a possibility :P
So what i learned from this is that the way to kill all the bad guys is to first also kill all the good guys. I guess the reaper doesn't care, just so long as he gets everyone on his list.
@@helicalgoose How did you get so much money? The vendors I was selling to have no more gold and I only have like 300 gold. I am trying to resell the beef but was wondering how you're selling it
@@Flyhr There is only so much money in Skalitz and you have to do a little trickery to get the full amount out of it. The vendors in Skaltiz are, Charcoal burner, Trader lady inside building, trader lady outside, trader lad in food, trader lad in repair kits and weapons, the inn, and the cloth dealer. Everyone buys beef except the charcoal burner guy and the cloth dealer. The way you get their money is by buying other items off the other merchants to sell to those two merchants to get their money. Honestly, it is not worth the effort since you can get tons of money later on, once outside Skaltiz walls :) But that is how I did it, also you can choke out that guy who is shoveling hay, he keeps waking up with more groschen on him somehow.
I wish I could play this game for the first time again. The world does feel alive and filled out. If you do not know where anything is at or what you can do it is like you're on a great adventure. You're right, start slow and go out there and slowly build up everything, and don't feel bad if you suck at fighting, since starting out you're a peasant, that is intentional, Henry is a peasant ;)
i got mad only when I relaized that sowrds are just useless. First big boss fight and I had to cheat in order to win even tho i had done a good bit of questing and had good armor I still had no way of winning aggainst the big boss using a sword. Maybe it was the playing with 10fps or my lack of skill that did it... but still
Sorry you feel that way I prefer swords myself in this game I fought runt ( the guy who steals your sword at beginning) and one combo later he was dead
@@dragonhunterneo1742 Well I switched to maces and the game is zur more fun now. I stopped complaining and started enjoying. I'm doing loads of bandit quests and stuff without problems. I even survived a fight with three Cumans. Mace's are by faaar superior for me.

You can speed level vit to level 20 in less than an hour as well. Simply run into an obstruction (I like the tree near the gambler myself) that prevents jumping and spam the jump button. With each press of the button you'll loose stamina and gain vit xp as it still counts as a jump just without the jumping animation, you can drain a full bar of stamina in less than 3 sec.
Ah that is a good idea too. Vitality is one of those underrated stats to most players, but it keeps you alive big time. It is a good trick, especially since they patch out beating up good old Kunesh :P
You can jump on top of the horses, near the charcoal seller. Use the wooden platform to jump on a horse near its head and you can spam jump for Vitality xp.
I wish there was an Easter egg cutscene where if you leveled up this much before the cumans attacking you just like one-shot every cuman and save the city and then credits roll.
I was expecting something like this. You can escape Skalitz with the sword, bypass Talmberg and meet Sir Radzig. He will not talk to you, but still would be great to be like, hey my sword good work Henry. *Credits Rolls*
I like to think that he was more worried about his Ale! *Entire town in flames and Henry Father comes down* How many times I have told you Hal, give me a Ale that is cooled from the Cellar!!
Yup that is a good one too. But another way in one of my other videos where you can basically get free armor/weapons, all you need to do is bring kits with you and just start going on a repairing spree and you will be level 20 in no time. I think before I left the village I was level 20 or near it due to repairing people's clothes who I sort of bumped off
I am not going to lie. I did the leg day perk the first couple times I played the game. Not even for the strength, but just because I enjoyed picking all the flowers myself.
Uh, so some things to note. 1. Zybeshek, Hans(the guy with the green hood in Skalitz, not Capon), and that one villager who attacks Henry and his friends when they throw dung at the Deutestch's house are immortal for the prologue portion. So you can just train Henry's stats by attacking them, though sheep is better if you're training the bow. 2. You can get rid of Henry's bleeding during the Rovna portion of the prologue by having him wash in a trough. Not sure why this happens but it will get rid of the bleeding that's stuck on him. None of the troughs in Rovna can be washed in though so you'll have to send Henry to one in lower Skalitz. 3. Olena(prologue horse) actually counts as a sidekick for the duration of the "Run!" prologue, so she can wear tack and saddles while carrying your excess items. One of the horses near where Henry saves Teresea also happens to have a 4 bag noble saddle. Remember to get your items off of her before entering Talmberg though, otherwise you'll have to kill her for them. 4. Henry is soft capped at 30 Hunger/Energy for the "RUN!" portion of the prologue. At values higher than 30 they drop drastically faster than normal. At 30, Energy will stop decreasing while Hunger will shift to normal consumption rate. 5. Henry can actually explore most of Bohemia even when during the "RUN!" portion of the prologue. Everything West and South of Rovna isn't actually an instant killzone for Henry, so exiting via south of Rovna pretty much gives Henry access to the rest of the map(aside from Talmberg because entering there would trigger the next portion of the game). The only issue is that if Henry is outside of the Rovna/Skalitz area for the prologue, he'll periodically take damage to his leg. Meaning you'll have to make him take a marigold potion every minute just to survive. If you can be bothered to grab all the potions in Skalitz and Rovna though, Henry has more than enough to make it to the Monastery alchemy table to make more. You'll have to make sure to manage his healing so that the damage to his leg never results in bleeding again though. It'll be fatal as Henry does not yet have bandage1 to fix it and the trough trick does not work on bleeding that was applied via the normal method(a bathhouse can save you though).
@@helicalgoose Right, so I was messing around and found a much better method in getting access to the rest of bohemia during the prologue. www.reddit.com/r/kingdomcome/comments/mgc9if/accessing_the_rest_of_bohemia_while_still_in_the/
@@en_musouka Thanks for the tips. This is stuff I actually never knew. I will have to look more into this once I get settled into my new place and start making some good old KCD videos again :)
You could always cook the beef meat (or mutton from sheep), and the stolen tags would be dissapear. And I think the price would be increase a little bit. Anyway, nice videos mate. Keep the good work! 🙂
Good point! I think the only reason I didn't do that because once I loaded up 1200 beef of untagged beef I was just in the mood of selling it. Also, side note at that point I beat up all the guards and stole their stuff, but didn't kill them. My reputation was at a very low point with everyone, so the price of beef was 0.1 each no matter what. But as a side note, the cooking any meat, is great while hunting boar and bringing back all that sweet meat.. :)
Also the potion for preserving things also works even on spoiled meat by the way. So woeeing about selling the thinga you hunt beofee they spoil isn't too much of a big deal
When you initially started sneaking, I was not at all expecting you to knock that guy out. That really got me. But when you walked up to the horses, I certainly hadn’t figured you’d use them as punching bags. I don’t know, the timing of it and your tone of voice just really tickles me
@@chang8133 Many thanks :) And if you need any tips making this stuff work just let me know through here :) Some things demand a little finesse to get them to work, but once you see it, then it is smooth sailing :)
I'm really happy to see people still playing and enjoying this game. It is honestly my favorite game within the last few years, easily in my top 5 overall.
It is really a fun game. Whenever it goes on sale, I suggest people to buy it. It may be frustrating at first, but slowly it just sucks you into the game and boom. You are in love :)
This is true. Then Henry found out he was getting paid in counterfeit coins right after he destroyed Skaltz. God have mercy on Sigismund if Henry ever gets in sight of him. :O
I took herbalism as well in order to increase strength passively but also a permanent +2 to vitality. I was bored last summer and did this exact same thing. I'm glad you've shared this because I really enjoyed breaking the game too, haha.
Okay so The corpses scattered outside skalitz Was a failed attempt by the cumans to bury all of the people outside like they stopped after receiving news of Henry being alive, near and with thirst for blood
lol 11/10 :P "The cumans were the best of Christians trying to bury all the dead and were interrupted by Henry." I do love the creativity of people in this comment sections :P
I remember after beating the game, I went to play it again. Except this time, I tried to steal everything possible in Skalitz. It was nice being able to come back to Skalitz and have a trunk full of crap to sell at the beginning of the game.
Stealing is one of the great things this game sort of got right. Almost. I mean it feels good to sneak around during the day or night and feel like you could get caught any second, but when you don't you feel like you won big time. Now the bad part is that it is sort of hard to tell when or if you're going to get caught. The NPCs sometimes just have magic ears or eyes and come straight at you. I do have to investigate this and find out what really causes all this.
@@helicalgoose true. I once killed a bailiff in ledechtko while he was sleeping and no one else in the room. Suddenly I get the jail symbol and guards coming after me. Turns out the guard who “caught” me was right outside and somehow saw me kill through the wall. Like wtf? I even reloaded and then waited for him and others to leave and it still happened. So I guess they psychically knew I killed him. Yet after he woke up and I lured him to a barn outside no one cared.
@@shannonpeterson3467 It is amazing what the NPCs can see and what they can not see. I think the Rattay swordsmith can see you sneaking in the room above his shop. For some reason NPCs seem to be able to see directly above them, but not diagonally above them.
@@helicalgoose Miller tells you to practice on sleeping people and drunks but sleeping NPCs have awareness cranked to 500% and they catch you instantly.
@@vladimirg7086 100% Even with level 20 pickpocketing and they're asleep they act funky after a few times riffling through their pockets. I am not certain what causes its, but if you pickpocket the same person more than once even while they're sleeping they will just randomly wake up or notice you. Its slightly annoying, especially for how worthless pickpocketing skill is in this game :(
It's a shame that they removed/didn't add the catchpole/halberd skills. There are perks for almost every type of weapon, except the bow and the halbard. Probably because they thought that the halbard was too powerful to use. Especially since they also later changed that you can't put halbards into your inventory, like you could do with a sword.
Someone in the comments below mention that you can get the halberd in your inventory by carrying it to a blacksmith then have them repair it. I have not tested it out, but if it is true, then that is a mighty weapon to have around :) And I do not think they added any perks to the bow and polearms because they are already god tier. If I had to beat the game without them, ummm it would be a long play through ;P
Yup this tactic works decently well, but I would check out the Talmberg video. There is a guy you can stab over and over if you set it up. It works a bit faster, but needs a small setup. :)
I love KCD and i have played it to death! I always find it funny to go back and watch all the 'guides' on how to get high skills and what not before leaving skalitz like it was the optimal way to play! which it really isn't, going on the main quest is far more efficient. It's still fun when a challenge is made from it like this.
KCD is a great game, with surprisingly re playable over time. I wish there was a good mod support that people use this base game to build a new game sort of like Fallout New Vegas or some total war games that way I could get more KCD in my life. :)
Very true. However, they sort of lack that first person quality allowing me to go out there and do it myself. I mean Mount and Blade 2 is sort of like that too, I just never got around to playing it since it felt incomplete at the moment :/ (I played the snot out the first one because of mods)
Side note, this is probably the only time in the whole game when you get to see enemies on horseback. For some reason, enemies are exclusively on foot from then on. But it's still a great game.
God I love this game. I tried an experiment of my own I called operation yoink. I went into rattay at night. Knocked out and robbed anyone out at night. Emptied both armories, emptied the sword and armor smiths. Stashed everything in my courtyard room by Pirkstein when I got too heavy. Unfortunately it had no visible effect on the economy.
Hi Helical!!! I'm a huge utilizer of your work. Naughty Henry, horse thief Henry and cuman sympathizer Henry are big fans lolololol im rewatching your vods just for the fun of it. You should explore the opportunities of the sheep and thier demise when herded into kunesh's barn. They respawn ya know:)))) Have fun playing sheep dog Henry:))) Thanks for sharing amd for your hard work. :)))
Oooo that is a good idea to herd the sheep into a barn to keep them from moving! Actually I did use them last time I did for Killer Henry, mostly archery practice. They're perfect for that plus you gain hunting skill too.
Well, I deliberately skipped this going max level grind phase, I just started to kill all the cumans from horseback [at level one, or maybe two]. It was hard, they can one hit kill you. But I managed. I looted so many cuman armor that I never had any money issue after this massacre.
That is seriously tough stuff. The biggest problem is not the "not getting hit" but it is the problem of the wound you're constantly trying to heal off. So there is this timer you are fighting against trying to stay alive. Being overleveled and getting the perk that lets you heal while outside of combat is amazing for that, but without it, damn that is good work there :P
@@helicalgoose There was a small trick, you start the cuman hunt before the cutscene where you got hit by the arrow. So you had to move in a narrow space on the map. Too far in one direction you die instantly [game over to be precise], too far in another direction arrow in the knee [femoralis] scene and you had to hurry. I think this trial and arror phase lasted maybe a whole afternoon till late night. At one point I had to stand up from my PC and had to do anything else, basically I rage quitted for almost an hour. And thanks. The grinding is a much more safer way to culling the cumans. Longer, but not as nerve racking than my solution. Imho.
This is party why I love this game so much. I feel like most people do the honest play through Henry, but after that it is time to go on a rampage which is like a whole different game all together. Though, I have a strange feeling that the local authorities are keeping an eye on me :P
The story of a Henry that felt quite hungry.... for the blood of the innocent. He practiced on farm animals until he graduated to the most dangerous game.
Just thinking that cow training is perfect! Essentially Henry is doing bodybuilding, punching cows breaking down his own muscles, then eat the beef, got to get that protein and keep training! I am certain that after this Henry was ripped! :P
I did something similar a couple of years ago. I spent over 2 weeks just playing the starting area and getting every single thing I could. You can cook stolen beef, it's worth more and is no longer stolen. Archery practice on the sheep is fun, do that for a few hours. 22:42 You can go a lot further north than that. There are some more people you can fight that come from the NE and head across the field to you left. You dont have to fight on foot, it's far easier on horse. Go straight for the horse at the beginning and ride north. Cross the small bridge on your left. Wait for men to get on the bridge then ride across it swinging your sword and you cut them down pretty easy. Bait all the men onto the bridge and kill them that way.
Yup. I have heard about that before. Maybe some day I will go back to it, but I lost my saves for max level Henry before going into the chase sequence which really sucks. I did not realize that old bottle saves get replaced after awhile. :( And archery practice on sheep work out a bit. I do love the physics of the sheep going crazy. The downside with those sheep I think, is that they run and also I do not think they actually drop mutton. Not like the ones you can find in Rattay outskirts. No idea why those have no meat on them :( But I do love the couple hour work out at Skalitz to get Henry slightly buff before going out. The game is still tough but not throwing you around like a ragged doll.
I just like to think the cumans comes into the village gates with everyone all dead around, except for Henry sitting on stump, sharpening his halberd. His only words to them..."I am quite hungry..." :O
With your stamina decreasing so much because you're attacking all the time, you're open for damaging blows. Keep your stamina up and you could have taken the groups of Cumans. The higher your stamina, the higher the resistance to health loss.
Oh yes, 100% absolutely! To be fair this was the first time playing KCD in about a year, so I sort of forgotten most the mechanics of the game. Even if I had access to master strikes, I do not think I could perform them that easily!
Fair play, I just tried to replicate this and gave up after a couple of hours. Just takes one guard not to cooperate and you're back to square one, even if you save you lose a lot of progress. Maybe I'll have another go, would like to beat up all the cumans.
I feel that. I think I had to start this over 3 times. Tips for doing this. Get the schnapps save asap. I think three are in your parents house, and you can buy like 10 more in the town? Something like that. Once you feel good, drop a save. And once you get to strength like 6-8 you can start trying to choke out the guards, sort of gamble at times, but it only takes once. Because once you kill all the guards the towns people are at your mercy. For awhile I was losing my mind and was just punching everyone to KO, and they would run to the naked guards on the hill (who I already stole all their stuff) and would flee from me when they get close ;) The best gains I had to be honest was after I killed all the guards and punched the horses all around. They would run yes, but would come back eventually for more punching. I do not think I ever KO a horse even with max strength and fists. :)
I also like to get lockpicks from Fritz and cheese lock picking until you get "Luck of the drunk perk". Then you can open basically every chest in the game while you're buzzed. Takes some save scumming in the early levels but so worth it. The peasants will re-lock their doors after a bit so you can farm indefinitely.
Yup :") I was thinking of showing something like that to do lockpicking in Skalitz, but I found a different location you can train up lockpicking real easy. It requires you to have the ability to "wait" to get the doors to relock. :)
Haha, yes. I have another video I made around the same time about Curious Expedition 2 exploit. After editing the video I heard myself say "congratulations" about 30 times in the video. I think I may have a problem :P
On my most recent playthrough I managed to kill all the cumans at theresas mill not trying to do a "level 20 before rattay" run intentionally but I thought they kept spawning? They just all died and then I looted them and that was it XD
Without doing this method, I have only manage to kill the first guy. The other cumans, getting more than one around me at that level was instant death. So I tip my hat to you. But that would be really interesting if they kept spawning and see how large of a corpse pile you could make.
i thought most people just spam horse mouse 2 in the beginning which i did then everything became pointless when you can just steal all gold in shops instead of wasting time selling loots
@@helicalgoose the real cheese in the beginning with no effort is just horse mouse 2 which still can be applied in the rest of the game and ruined my prologue experience, WH should have patched the game that you can only attack while the horse is running later on as horseriding perk
Seeing you stab a cow on that angle has pulled me out of dispair very good video dude I found it hilarious all the things Henry can do at the start and you have inspired me to give it another play thank you.
Glad to hear that. This game is quite good, but just a bit beat you down at the start. As always, if you need any tips let me know, I usually reply to a bunch of comments. Enjoy the game!
he's gonna be by himself! so you can just knock him out, go ahead! *grinning menacingly* OP is a fucking psychopath but I enjoy this video, good work ♡
Maces are god tier. It is not even a fair fight one vs one. But you do have to be honest, one peasant with a pole-arm if he gets a wack on you fully armored, Henry will still feel it. It is oddly frustrating to get chopped down by one person when Henry fully armored can tank a bunch of arrows and sword swipes and even some maces hits. But those pole-arms. It just cuts through like butter.
Considering that most of the stat gains apparently come from beating up the infinite respawning cows, there doesn't seem to be any reason for killing everyone in Skalitz. The halberd would likely be a bit tougher to get, you'd need to lure the guard away somewhere you can knock him out and steal the halberd. Then let the raid happen, kill the first Cuman - the one pursuing Henry - and get his armor, then the rest as usual. I actually killed all the Cumans in Skalitz simply by swording them from horseback using Sir Radzig's sword, it's just tedious repeated galloping up and down the path near the mill. Just make sure the damn archers don't wound you else you'll bleed out. Also, there's a back entrance to the ore washing area that op in the video missed, could probably go in there kill some Cumans but idk if the game will force you into the Rovna sequence if you get too close to the front of the area.
Some of the best armor can be found in Skalitz after the raid. There will be about 8 people fighting inside the north gate. If you’re low level, go at night in stealth clothing, let them kill each other, then loot the goods. It’s worth a fortune in Rattay and you can keep the best pieces for yourself. You can go back to Skalitz and do this repeatedly and get rich lol.
Yup. I have done a video on that as well :) Except you do not need to fight or even knock anyone out if you want, just steal a horse ride up and pick up items and peace out. I mean they came to Skalitz for the silver mine, but instead we found gold with the unlimited armor/weapons it provides. Jesus Christ be praised!
I've noticed that with normal melee weapons (Not a halberd), you can't seem to kill that first cuman, as he always perfect blocks your attacks, even if your skills are ridiculously high. Not sure if this applies to the other cumans, however, as after discovering this, I didn't try it on the others. Edit: This also may have changed over time, as I discovered this months ago when I did it the first and last time.
I want to say you're correct on this. (I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure you're right on the first cuman). Since he is a mask wearing cuman, I think those spawn with higher skill levels, and Henry typically being a low level peasant with no perfect block, dodge, or master strikes, this guy does seem a bit tougher. Sometimes you get lucky and he just stands there and you can poke him 12 times before he realizes that this is a fight. Other times you get unlucky and he just flies like a bullet, no wait time and follows you all the way to the bottom of the hill at a sprint just beating your butt while you're trying to get on a horse. Not sure what causes that last problem, but this guy is a jerk and a pain to fight at the start.
I think I remember seeing a video that said you can kill him with Radzig's sword, but it's very difficult because of Henry's low stats and how tough the Cuman is. You still have to run away because the Cumans on horseback will just keep spawning from the opposite direction you're supposed to go.
Very helpful video! I just beat the base game, got the royal edition after and was kinda disappointed to see saves didnt transfer. This was a life saver!
@@helicalgoose for sure, didn’t want to be a scrub again! I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the cows can KILL! I ran to the other end to make them spawn back, after picking up all the beef on the floor and inspecting my stash, the cows spawned beside me and 1 slowly walked into me and pinned me against the other and pretty much killed me instantly before I knew what was happening. I lost so many levels! This works with sheep too, and has me thinking that it might be possible to gather people and have them basically get stampeded. Idk if you’ve done that before cause I just subbed
@@MustangSallyB1atch Yup the cows can actually do some serious damage, but you can also use the cows too if you time it just right. For awhile I was trying to escape Skalitz using the cows, when they run away, if you get in their path and do a timed jump when they're about to hit you, they will give you a boost jump. For the longest time I was trying to get over the walls using that, but there are invisible walls all around. But I found another way to get over those walls without those cows. The cows injuries me soooo much. Thankfully the mom will heal you up for free each time :)
@@helicalgoose Ma don’t care if you killed the entire village, she won’t turn in her son lmao But yo I’m out of skalitz now, Idk if it’s because I didn’t kill everyone but it seems some skalitz refugees reported my crimes in Sasau and I was imprisoned for a week! I guess it’s better not to leave witnesses...
@@MustangSallyB1atch Yah the murder thing stays with you. Even if you kill everyone they have a thing about respawning back in Rattay, like they have a connection to the last person they were alive in Skalitz and report you to the guards there. Super odd. Like Bernard and his wife or Kunesh who you can't kill. It sucks, but for the easy gains, it is well worth going to jail for 10 days. I mean I could choose not to murder during that time, but where is the fun in that.
Idk if you knew this but you can also pick flowers to the point where it increases vitality and max that out through flower picking, it’s been a while so I may be misremembering but you can become op asf just by picking flowers
Oh for certain! The flower picking is a legit way to level up. I choose not to do it here, since it was something that nearly everybody does and I wanted to show something different. ;) But, the herb plants in the town will give you plenty of spending money and some decent stats. Well worth doing if you're going to play as "good" Henry.
Radzig - "I can't believe the Cumans destroyed Skalitz, this is a terrible atrocity"
Henry - "Yeah... the Cumans..."
You know I actually laughed out loud after reading this. Never thought about that hahah

Well, to be fair they are kinda responsible for all the killings. Henry only did kill all these people in order to gain the strength to kill all cumans!

Sadly people do not dress themselves again even if they have clothes in their inventory.

Yah. I even put off a bit about how ruthlessly he stomps on peasants necks. Like jeezz Henry! That was your childhood friend!
I think this is why the cumans truly feared Henry. They knew they would get no mercy.

He probably felt kinda hungry after killing the entire town
Henry is a growing boy after all. But I like to think that Henry was just stuffing rotten beef into his mouth the entire time he was fighting the cumans.
*I feel quite hungry*

Killing the entire town and calling your weapon “halabeard”, makes it extra psychotic. 10/10 banality of evil score

The fact that this even possible without mods is really a testament to the sheer freedom and flexibility within KCD.
Yup. I would not want them to fix this either to be honest.
Honestly, the first few times playing this game I would've never done this or even thought it was possible.
But now after beating the game a few times, this just add more "content" to the game. I do enjoy it :)
@@helicalgoose Yes. I do WANT the possiblity to break an openworld game. If I play an open world game I want to have as much freedom as possible.

At least in my opinion.
>without mods

In case you didn't notice, he clearly has the bow reticle mod (or activated the reticle via console or whatnot) which makes shooting a lot easier.
Might use other mods too.
@@JohnDoe-il4dz thats simply the default reticle you can enable with console commands, not a mod. all of this is possible in the regular game, as you can try for yourself
@@Adierit , well, mods, cheats, same thing. Enabling disabled feature via console is cheating. It's modifying the game, not playing it "as intended by developers".
I'm not judging (playing with mods myself), I just hate it when people exaggerate and give undeserved praises.
"And he doesn't have the strength to stop me" ah yes, comforting words
It does sound a bit worse when I go back and watch it, lol oh my.
Truly the words of a man whi cares deeply for his people. A little too deeply unfortunately for them...
i was like "oh, yeah, he gonna save skalitz!"
oh, how wrong i was.
Henry did save Skalitz. Wouldn't you like your friend to put you out of your misery than a horde of cumans? Henry did them all a favor ;)
Me at the beginning: "Poor horse, how can you do that"
Me at the end: "KILL THEM ALL, HENRY! DON'T LET ANYONE ALIVE!!!"
I fear for the citizens of Skalitz in everyone's game now.
They though the cumans were the real problem, yet they did not know that Henry was the true problem to be worried about.
If you want to do a lot of this without actually killing Skalitz people, you can just keep punching out Kunesh. Each time you KO him you get a chunk of XP for Strength, Agility, Warfare, and I think Vitality, plus whatever weapon/fists you used. I got to 20 in all of these that way. Kunesh doesn't report you to guards like others will and never dies, so he's perfect. Put on a movie or a few, it'll take a while. It's not quite as exciting as going around like a mad murderer like this.
You can level stealth with a ton of knock outs, but somehow someone will find out eventually and you'll have to be careful with guards. If you don't want to kill anyone, be careful here as knocking someone out too many times will actually kill them. Except for Kunesh, strangle him all you want.
I suggest taking the speech skills at the beginning since it and reading are the only skills in the game you can't cheese.
If you want to do herbalism here too, there's enough plants in Skalitz to get you to between 15-20 depending on your diligence and if you have the numbskull xp penalty. Leg Day comes too late and offers just 1 xp per animation, and is not worth banking on to level your strength. Just punch out Kunesh hundreds of times.
Various locks will relock around the town, so you can farm lockpicking XP here. Get the luck of the drunk drinking skill early to deal with the hardest relocking locks for the most xp.
Speaking of drinking, drink all of the alcohol in Skalitz to level your drinking skill. Maybe save some of it for luck of the drunk. You can't pass out in the prologue from lack of energy or overdrinking. Don't take the ascetic perk until after the prologue, it'll slow down your booze consumption from being too full. You might find being this incredibly drunk all the time to be virtually unplayable.
When you knock people out, steal all their clothes and equipment and repair it for easy maintenance XP. Then give their clothes back because you're a good lad, right? Maxing maintenance after getting your hands on the repair kits in town is the easiest skill to 20 in the game if you repair everyone's stuff. Forget about the tedious grinding wheel trick.
I can't recall if shooting the sheep with a bow will level your huntsman, but they are at least great bow practice! When you go to kill the cows, then come back, the sheep will be back. Same with the cows.
Play your cards right, you can max your stats without killing any Skalitz people. But it takes quite a bit longer than this method since Kunesh wastes so much time unconscious when he could be eating your knuckle sandwiches.
If you're playing hardcore, there's nothing to be done to keep you from bleeding out during the horse chase. All you can do is kill what you can before making it to Talmberg. If you can kill anyone at all, you bleed out very quickly and can't waste much time.
If you're doing no crime at all, just beat up Kunesh, pick flowers, and sell your flowers for booze. That's all you can really do in Skalitz, you goody two shoes.
Yah Kunesh use to work :(
They patched him awhile ago to save poor Kunesh from being beaten non-stop by players.
Now after you beat him up the first time his health is so low, that the next time he gets up he only has one hit and takes about 1-2 minutes to get back up.
You could farm that, but not really worthwhile.
I love the casual and calm tutorial over this medieval man masscaring the town's livestock and killing anyone who witnesses
Henry can not leave any witnesses. If there are witnesses, then there are people left to warn the others that he is coming :P
32:46 "This is not how you're supposed to play this game." Good thing you warned me after half an hour of normally playing the game.
I thought that I had to give this warning sometime ;) But I felt like everyone who has played KCD has done something like this before.
The Cumans after this: The Devil is real, he wields a halberd.
The halberd is a really really good weapon.
Like why would Sir Radiz want his old sword back? Give him a halberd! He would be thrilled!
@@helicalgoose It's broken, I killed all of the cumans in Pribyslavitz or however it's called by just poking them one by one as they charged me XD.
@@thaneofwhiterun3562 It is completely broken!
Most cumans have like padded armor and can't stand up to a poke with that thing.
But to be fair only the plate mail wearing bandits can last against a poking from the halberd.
I am glad you can't carry the halberd around that easily.
I mean you can go to the blacksmith and repair it while you're holding the weapon and it will get put into you pack to pull out later, but it is one of those annoying things to do.
But IMO best "glass cannon" weapon.
This Guy : killed his entire village
Itachi Uchiha : i see you're man of culture as well

To save his people, he had to destroy them. That’s actually an incredible analogy.
Today is the Birthday of KCD. Jesus Christ be praised!
Lol good day

Want a little wager on the Rattay Tourney to celebrate?
@@helicalgoose It's neither, it's medieval Christendom so they're literally just praising god lol. "Bless your heart" is also strictly a southern US thing
Ah, makes sense. I always have to ask. :)
Alternative: take speech in the two instances with your mother (speech is the hardest stat to raise until you get the speech perk 'final offer'). Then start picking herbs all over, get the 'leg day' perk, and from there on you will gain strength when picking herbs. Herb picking is totally legal, so pick as many as you like, and sell them off or trade them for maintenance kits.
Choke out villagers whenever you can, when your strength is higher you can start choking out guards. You can store excess stuff in the chest in the house of your parents, you can return later in the game and sell it off if need be. Kit yourself out in the stuff that gives highest charisma, and start hunting sheep. They are much easier to hunt than cows or horses, and you get a lot more xp for a killing blow than for one that just hurts, so quantity matters big time. You might be seen by villagers and they will then call the guards on you, however, with high charisma and decent speech you can tell them you work for the local lord and get out of it without penalties, which actually raises your speech skill. Hunting sheep enables you to make xp much faster, making it much less of a grind.
I completely agree!
I sort of just picked strength to shorten the time and show that you can go from out of the gates to having weapons and some armor instantly!
But in a real game, pick Speech every time! Speech is tough or time consuming to obtain.
The Leg Day perk isn't worth it.
It gives you only 1xp to strength whenever you start the animation. It doesn't scale with how many herbs you pick up, so it is practically useless.
@@KRIMZONMEKANISM it's free xp, so it's better than nothing.
Herd the sheep in the barn next to the hobo that beats you first, then cook the mutton in his home, stash extra stuff in his chest, then sell for profit. Good thing with the drop meat, wait for respawn - so its no longer stolen.. Genius!!! beating sheep is not feasible, as the hand does not reach there. Horses are good. Standing sheep are good bow practice. Killing the villagers I believe gives negative reputation with Skalitz after their ressurection. I will start again the game and go morally ok, since I can raise stats without violence - except stealth. Moffos gonna get strangled.
I don’t know why but when Henry was just rubbing around knocking out and killing people was terrifying
The only thing I wished is that I did the murder rampage sooner. (Oh that sounds terrible), but in terms of killing key people for certain missions. Like for the mission to throw dung at the house. You can kill the wife, deutsch and his son. What would happen if they're dead already? The problem is that if you get near the tavern the mission just starts to autoplay. I might try to revisit that, but I will have to level up a new Henry there to abuse the game for one mission. Might be fun. :)
“Henry tries to show his father he is a real warrior”
Are you proud of me yet dad?
The Cumans show up to Skalitz and discover the butchered carcasses of hundreds of villagers and cows. Henry, adorned in blood-drenched ill-fitting armor, steps out of a hovel with a halberd chipped and dulled from smashing thousands of pounds of human and animal bones. "I've been waiting for you."
If I had really good animation skills, I would totally have an introduction like that and make a small series out of that. The details you give makes me want to draw something like that :P
But at last, that sort of series would take me about 3 years to learn how to draw that well and animate :P
If I win the lotto, consider it a possibility :P
Sounds like a dark souls boss 😂
So what i learned from this is that the way to kill all the bad guys is to first also kill all the good guys.
I guess the reaper doesn't care, just so long as he gets everyone on his list.
Maybe the reaper has Henry on his payroll? Sort of doing some contract work for some extra groschen ;)
The way to kill the bad guys is to become the baddest guy yourself.
The bad guys can't do bad stuff it there is no one around

Everyone buys beef except the charcoal burner guy and the cloth dealer.
The way you get their money is by buying other items off the other merchants to sell to those two merchants to get their money.

You can speed level vit to level 20 in less than an hour as well. Simply run into an obstruction (I like the tree near the gambler myself) that prevents jumping and spam the jump button. With each press of the button you'll loose stamina and gain vit xp as it still counts as a jump just without the jumping animation, you can drain a full bar of stamina in less than 3 sec.
Ah that is a good idea too. Vitality is one of those underrated stats to most players, but it keeps you alive big time.

@@helicalgoose To be honest I agree with you there. Theres just some weird satisfaction to it.
It is still worth picking up plants to sell them at the very least
Uh, so some things to note.
1. Zybeshek, Hans(the guy with the green hood in Skalitz, not Capon), and that one villager who attacks Henry and his friends when they throw dung at the Deutestch's house are immortal for the prologue portion. So you can just train Henry's stats by attacking them, though sheep is better if you're training the bow.
2. You can get rid of Henry's bleeding during the Rovna portion of the prologue by having him wash in a trough. Not sure why this happens but it will get rid of the bleeding that's stuck on him. None of the troughs in Rovna can be washed in though so you'll have to send Henry to one in lower Skalitz.
3. Olena(prologue horse) actually counts as a sidekick for the duration of the "Run!" prologue, so she can wear tack and saddles while carrying your excess items. One of the horses near where Henry saves Teresea also happens to have a 4 bag noble saddle. Remember to get your items off of her before entering Talmberg though, otherwise you'll have to kill her for them.
4. Henry is soft capped at 30 Hunger/Energy for the "RUN!" portion of the prologue. At values higher than 30 they drop drastically faster than normal. At 30, Energy will stop decreasing while Hunger will shift to normal consumption rate.
5. Henry can actually explore most of Bohemia even when during the "RUN!" portion of the prologue. Everything West and South of Rovna isn't actually an instant killzone for Henry, so exiting via south of Rovna pretty much gives Henry access to the rest of the map(aside from Talmberg because entering there would trigger the next portion of the game). The only issue is that if Henry is outside of the Rovna/Skalitz area for the prologue, he'll periodically take damage to his leg. Meaning you'll have to make him take a marigold potion every minute just to survive. If you can be bothered to grab all the potions in Skalitz and Rovna though, Henry has more than enough to make it to the Monastery alchemy table to make more. You'll have to make sure to manage his healing so that the damage to his leg never results in bleeding again though. It'll be fatal as Henry does not yet have bandage1 to fix it and the trough trick does not work on bleeding that was applied via the normal method(a bathhouse can save you though).
Nice! I never knew this.
Thanks for the tips on this. This is valuable information :)
@@helicalgoose Right, so I was messing around and found a much better method in getting access to the rest of bohemia during the prologue. www.reddit.com/r/kingdomcome/comments/mgc9if/accessing_the_rest_of_bohemia_while_still_in_the/
@@en_musouka Thanks for the tips. This is stuff I actually never knew. I will have to look more into this once I get settled into my new place and start making some good old KCD videos again :)
On 1 you have to kill Johanka first, think*^ but great tips all around! Great video mang
You could always cook the beef meat (or mutton from sheep), and the stolen tags would be dissapear. And I think the price would be increase a little bit. Anyway, nice videos mate. Keep the good work! 🙂
Good point! I think the only reason I didn't do that because once I loaded up 1200 beef of untagged beef I was just in the mood of selling it. Also, side note at that point I beat up all the guards and stole their stuff, but didn't kill them. My reputation was at a very low point with everyone, so the price of beef was 0.1 each no matter what. But as a side note, the cooking any meat, is great while hunting boar and bringing back all that sweet meat.. :)
Also the potion for preserving things also works even on spoiled meat by the way.
So woeeing about selling the thinga you hunt beofee they spoil isn't too much of a big deal
You got caught
When you initially started sneaking, I was not at all expecting you to knock that guy out. That really got me. But when you walked up to the horses, I certainly hadn’t figured you’d use them as punching bags. I don’t know, the timing of it and your tone of voice just really tickles me
Always expect the unexpected with Henry ;)
Haha, and thanks :)
I think the timing and tone was just me having fun with the game :)
"Stop hitting me, you friggin jerk"
Says Henry, the village jerk that killed 90% of his home village.
Hey, if it makes anyone feel better. 90% of those people were jerks! :P
@@helicalgoose Is ir patched?
@@chang8133 Not from what I can tell.
The PC version has not been patched in the last 8 months or more, so I believe all this still works :)
@@helicalgoose Alright, thanks! Nice vid btw, new sub.
@@chang8133 Many thanks :)
And if you need any tips making this stuff work just let me know through here :)
Some things demand a little finesse to get them to work, but once you see it, then it is smooth sailing :)
I'm really happy to see people still playing and enjoying this game. It is honestly my favorite game within the last few years, easily in my top 5 overall.
It is really a fun game. Whenever it goes on sale, I suggest people to buy it. It may be frustrating at first, but slowly it just sucks you into the game and boom. You are in love :)
Henry was a sleeper agent, and Sigismund saw the Cumans as expendable
This is true.
Then Henry found out he was getting paid in counterfeit coins right after he destroyed Skaltz.
God have mercy on Sigismund if Henry ever gets in sight of him. :O
I took herbalism as well in order to increase strength passively but also a permanent +2 to vitality. I was bored last summer and did this exact same thing. I'm glad you've shared this because I really enjoyed breaking the game too, haha.
This game is a good fixer of "I am bored". Screwing around in this game is quite satisfying :)
Im so glad youtube bless me with this video
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it. :)
Okay so
The corpses scattered outside skalitz
Was a failed attempt by the cumans to bury all of the people outside
like they stopped after receiving news of Henry being alive, near and with thirst for blood
lol 11/10 :P
"The cumans were the best of Christians trying to bury all the dead and were interrupted by Henry."
I do love the creativity of people in this comment sections :P
I remember after beating the game, I went to play it again. Except this time, I tried to steal everything possible in Skalitz. It was nice being able to come back to Skalitz and have a trunk full of crap to sell at the beginning of the game.
Stealing is one of the great things this game sort of got right. Almost.
I mean it feels good to sneak around during the day or night and feel like you could get caught any second, but when you don't you feel like you won big time.
Now the bad part is that it is sort of hard to tell when or if you're going to get caught. The NPCs sometimes just have magic ears or eyes and come straight at you.
I do have to investigate this and find out what really causes all this.
@@helicalgoose true. I once killed a bailiff in ledechtko while he was sleeping and no one else in the room. Suddenly I get the jail symbol and guards coming after me. Turns out the guard who “caught” me was right outside and somehow saw me kill through the wall. Like wtf? I even reloaded and then waited for him and others to leave and it still happened. So I guess they psychically knew I killed him. Yet after he woke up and I lured him to a barn outside no one cared.
@@shannonpeterson3467 It is amazing what the NPCs can see and what they can not see.
I think the Rattay swordsmith can see you sneaking in the room above his shop.
For some reason NPCs seem to be able to see directly above them, but not diagonally above them.
@@helicalgoose Miller tells you to practice on sleeping people and drunks but sleeping NPCs have awareness cranked to 500% and they catch you instantly.
@@vladimirg7086 100%
Even with level 20 pickpocketing and they're asleep they act funky after a few times riffling through their pockets.
I am not certain what causes its, but if you pickpocket the same person more than once even while they're sleeping they will just randomly wake up or notice you. Its slightly annoying, especially for how worthless pickpocketing skill is in this game :(
It's a shame that they removed/didn't add the catchpole/halberd skills. There are perks for almost every type of weapon, except the bow and the halbard. Probably because they thought that the halbard was too powerful to use. Especially since they also later changed that you can't put halbards into your inventory, like you could do with a sword.
Someone in the comments below mention that you can get the halberd in your inventory by carrying it to a blacksmith then have them repair it. I have not tested it out, but if it is true, then that is a mighty weapon to have around :) And I do not think they added any perks to the bow and polearms because they are already god tier. If I had to beat the game without them, ummm it would be a long play through ;P
This video reminds me of the Southpark episode about World of Warcraft, killing millions of boars. :D
Hahaha, I promise I did get up and go to the bathroom on my own while doing this :P
I'm very happy youtube recommended me this video, I have completely forgotten this game existed
This game I forget about for about 6 months. Then I see it on my steam library and say, "heck, got to download this back and play this again."
Cumans approaching Skalitz be like - Why do i hear the boss music?
*A giant red health bar appears in the sky*
Cumans: "Kurva!"
Everyone: "Oh, I heard about Skalitz. I am so sorry. Those cursed Cumans"
Henry: "I don't wanna talk about it..."
lol, no one can know if Henry is telling the truth if there are no survivors. :P
People: **videogames don’t create violent people**
Helical:
O.o'
I didn't know a halberd could do that to NPCs :P
I found most of this a few months ago, but you've shown me the light. Even quicker and more effective
Yup this tactic works decently well, but I would check out the Talmberg video. There is a guy you can stab over and over if you set it up. It works a bit faster, but needs a small setup. :)
I love KCD and i have played it to death!
I always find it funny to go back and watch all the 'guides' on how to get high skills and what not before leaving skalitz like it was the optimal way to play! which it really isn't, going on the main quest is far more efficient.
It's still fun when a challenge is made from it like this.
KCD is a great game, with surprisingly re playable over time. I wish there was a good mod support that people use this base game to build a new game sort of like Fallout New Vegas or some total war games that way I could get more KCD in my life. :)
@@helicalgoose I mean, You could just play any total war game set in the medieval era and that would be Total war: KCD
:P
Very true. However, they sort of lack that first person quality allowing me to go out there and do it myself. I mean Mount and Blade 2 is sort of like that too, I just never got around to playing it since it felt incomplete at the moment :/ (I played the snot out the first one because of mods)
damn i just ran off to the woods and started hunting when i found a bow
Wow, TH-cam actually recommended me a video about a game I like from a small channel! Has Susan stepped down!?
Glad you can find this sort of stuff :) I honestly do not know what happened with the algorithm. I think it must of gotten really drunk.
@@helicalgoose Loving your videos man, keep up the good work!
That was so Apocalypse Now when you killed that cow.
I never thought about that now. But the way Henry was acting, yah it seems fitting ;)
Side note, this is probably the only time in the whole game when you get to see enemies on horseback. For some reason, enemies are exclusively on foot from then on. But it's still a great game.
My bro out here doing medieval warcrimes to get quickly rich. Thats one way to play the game.
Hey the cumans can't raid Skalitz if there is nothing left to raid ;)
God I love this game. I tried an experiment of my own I called operation yoink. I went into rattay at night. Knocked out and robbed anyone out at night. Emptied both armories, emptied the sword and armor smiths. Stashed everything in my courtyard room by Pirkstein when I got too heavy. Unfortunately it had no visible effect on the economy.
I love the term "operation yoink"
I might have to steal that naming if I ever do anything like that :P
Go for it. I'd love to watch it.
Really enjoyed this game breath of fresh air after playing countless rpgs
This is truly a unique RPG. It just offers a much different immersion and really hooks you into the game.
Hi Helical!!! I'm a huge utilizer of your work. Naughty Henry, horse thief Henry and cuman sympathizer Henry are big fans lolololol im rewatching your vods just for the fun of it. You should explore the opportunities of the sheep and thier demise when herded into kunesh's barn. They respawn ya know:)))) Have fun playing sheep dog Henry:))) Thanks for sharing amd for your hard work. :)))
Oooo that is a good idea to herd the sheep into a barn to keep them from moving!
Actually I did use them last time I did for Killer Henry, mostly archery practice. They're perfect for that plus you gain hunting skill too.
I watched a video long ago lol it's nice cuz you can basically be any level leaving Skalitz
Well, I deliberately skipped this going max level grind phase, I just started to kill all the cumans from horseback [at level one, or maybe two].
It was hard, they can one hit kill you. But I managed.
I looted so many cuman armor that I never had any money issue after this massacre.
That is seriously tough stuff.
The biggest problem is not the "not getting hit"
but it is the problem of the wound you're constantly trying to heal off. So there is this timer you are fighting against trying to stay alive.
Being overleveled and getting the perk that lets you heal while outside of combat is amazing for that, but without it, damn that is good work there :P
@@helicalgoose There was a small trick, you start the cuman hunt before the cutscene where you got hit by the arrow. So you had to move in a narrow space on the map. Too far in one direction you die instantly [game over to be precise], too far in another direction arrow in the knee [femoralis] scene and you had to hurry.
I think this trial and arror phase lasted maybe a whole afternoon till late night.
At one point I had to stand up from my PC and had to do anything else, basically I rage quitted for almost an hour.
And thanks. The grinding is a much more safer way to culling the cumans. Longer, but not as nerve racking than my solution.
Imho.
This is my second playthrough. Maxing skills, robing everyone, stealing high end gear, always choose violence in dialogue, be a degen. SO MUCH FUN
This is party why I love this game so much.
I feel like most people do the honest play through Henry, but after that it is time to go on a rampage which is like a whole different game all together.
Though, I have a strange feeling that the local authorities are keeping an eye on me :P
I desperately wanted to role play a decent character but I quickly found out that thievery was the fastest way to make bank 🙃
I love the tone of voice when saying “just beat on the horse! :D”
I had to go back and listen to this again. lol
The things I say sometimes without even thinking. :P
Great Job! Can't wait to see when you're TH-cam famous
Thanks, but as long as a few people get some enjoyment out of it, then that is good enough for me :)
Damn dude! This has to be the best video on youtube. A+ for the effort!
lol, I wish this was true :P
I wish I could remake this video with better graphics and audio but thanks for kind words :D
This is incredible - this is now my favorite TH-cam video
Haha, many thanks. I really need to redo this video sometime to give better sound and graphics, but glad you enjoyed it with all the scuffs :D
wanna give u a thousand more thumbs up for that dexter clip, damn im hyped for season 9.
On the new season of Dexter. He travels back in time to a small village of Skalitz, and it is time to *change* history...
The story of a Henry that felt quite hungry.... for the blood of the innocent. He practiced on farm animals until he graduated to the most dangerous game.
Just thinking that cow training is perfect!
Essentially Henry is doing bodybuilding, punching cows breaking down his own muscles, then eat the beef, got to get that protein and keep training!
I am certain that after this Henry was ripped! :P
I hereby declare this man the cheese king.
I did something similar a couple of years ago. I spent over 2 weeks just playing the starting area and getting every single thing I could.
You can cook stolen beef, it's worth more and is no longer stolen. Archery practice on the sheep is fun, do that for a few hours.
22:42 You can go a lot further north than that. There are some more people you can fight that come from the NE and head across the field to you left.
You dont have to fight on foot, it's far easier on horse. Go straight for the horse at the beginning and ride north. Cross the small bridge on your left. Wait for men to get on the bridge then ride across it swinging your sword and you cut them down pretty easy. Bait all the men onto the bridge and kill them that way.
Yup. I have heard about that before. Maybe some day I will go back to it, but I lost my saves for max level Henry before going into the chase sequence which really sucks. I did not realize that old bottle saves get replaced after awhile. :(
And archery practice on sheep work out a bit. I do love the physics of the sheep going crazy. The downside with those sheep I think, is that they run and also I do not think they actually drop mutton. Not like the ones you can find in Rattay outskirts. No idea why those have no meat on them :(
But I do love the couple hour work out at Skalitz to get Henry slightly buff before going out. The game is still tough but not throwing you around like a ragged doll.
I feel like this is Henrys actual inner monologue.
I like to think that this is Henry's side story, sort of like BG3's Durge playthrough and this is what Henry is thinking all the time :P
Henry finally snaps and murders everyone.
Cumans invade on the same day.
Henry - :D
Henry: It must be Christmas morning!
Imagine the cumans showing up expecting to plunger a thriving village only to see it already in ruins thanks to one guy.
I just like to think the cumans comes into the village gates with everyone all dead around, except for Henry sitting on stump, sharpening his halberd.
His only words to them..."I am quite hungry..."
:O
With your stamina decreasing so much because you're attacking all the time, you're open for damaging blows. Keep your stamina up and you could have taken the groups of Cumans. The higher your stamina, the higher the resistance to health loss.
Oh yes, 100% absolutely!
To be fair this was the first time playing KCD in about a year, so I sort of forgotten most the mechanics of the game.
Even if I had access to master strikes, I do not think I could perform them that easily!
I love How you explain this video. Way better than others on TH-cam. 🙄 you make so simple
You are by far my most favorite channel.Keep This type of content up👍🏼
Many thanks :D
And you're going deep into the older videos, its an goodie but definitely a bit old but still works.
Henry: *"I just like hurt'n people"*
Henry shows his love in strange ways.
Fair play, I just tried to replicate this and gave up after a couple of hours. Just takes one guard not to cooperate and you're back to square one, even if you save you lose a lot of progress. Maybe I'll have another go, would like to beat up all the cumans.
I feel that. I think I had to start this over 3 times. Tips for doing this. Get the schnapps save asap. I think three are in your parents house, and you can buy like 10 more in the town? Something like that. Once you feel good, drop a save. And once you get to strength like 6-8 you can start trying to choke out the guards, sort of gamble at times, but it only takes once. Because once you kill all the guards the towns people are at your mercy. For awhile I was losing my mind and was just punching everyone to KO, and they would run to the naked guards on the hill (who I already stole all their stuff) and would flee from me when they get close ;) The best gains I had to be honest was after I killed all the guards and punched the horses all around. They would run yes, but would come back eventually for more punching. I do not think I ever KO a horse even with max strength and fists. :)
I also like to get lockpicks from Fritz and cheese lock picking until you get "Luck of the drunk perk". Then you can open basically every chest in the game while you're buzzed. Takes some save scumming in the early levels but so worth it. The peasants will re-lock their doors after a bit so you can farm indefinitely.
Yup :") I was thinking of showing something like that to do lockpicking in Skalitz, but I found a different location you can train up lockpicking real easy. It requires you to have the ability to "wait" to get the doors to relock. :)
"boss I know we're supposed to murder and pillage here, but I don't see any guards at all, isn't it weird?"
*henry sweating profusely*
Henry: "What guards? Skaltiz never had guards, we don't know where we put them...where they're at, umm what they are..." *Keeps sweating*
The casual downward strokes with the halberd is too much for me to handle 😂
Skalitz is a vacation for Henry.
He is just taking it easy. Nice easy strokes :P
My favorite thing about this video is you congratulating yourself LOL
Haha, yes. I have another video I made around the same time about Curious Expedition 2 exploit. After editing the video I heard myself say "congratulations" about 30 times in the video. I think I may have a problem :P
On my most recent playthrough I managed to kill all the cumans at theresas mill not trying to do a "level 20 before rattay" run intentionally but I thought they kept spawning? They just all died and then I looted them and that was it XD
Without doing this method, I have only manage to kill the first guy. The other cumans, getting more than one around me at that level was instant death. So I tip my hat to you. But that would be really interesting if they kept spawning and see how large of a corpse pile you could make.
i thought most people just spam horse mouse 2 in the beginning which i did then everything became pointless when you can just steal all gold in shops instead of wasting time selling loots
@@helicalgoose the real cheese in the beginning with no effort is just horse mouse 2 which still can be applied in the rest of the game and ruined my prologue experience, WH should have patched the game that you can only attack while the horse is running later on as horseriding perk
The non-stop clicking during combat as if it’s Skyrim
I think I had to replace my mouse after a game of skyrim.
I also had to replace a mouse after making this video. There might be correlation ;)
Seeing you stab a cow on that angle has pulled me out of dispair very good video dude I found it hilarious all the things Henry can do at the start and you have inspired me to give it another play thank you.
Glad to hear that. This game is quite good, but just a bit beat you down at the start.
As always, if you need any tips let me know, I usually reply to a bunch of comments.
Enjoy the game!
Thanks have a good one.
he's gonna be by himself! so you can just knock him out, go ahead! *grinning menacingly*
OP is a fucking psychopath but I enjoy this video, good work ♡
I think the rule in this game is that, if he didn't want to be knocked out, then he shouldn't be turning his back to Henry. ;)
Him:"Halberds will destroy you"
Me with my mace and shield with max strength: "I'll like to see them try"
Maces are god tier.
It is not even a fair fight one vs one.
But you do have to be honest, one peasant with a pole-arm if he gets a wack on you fully armored, Henry will still feel it.
It is oddly frustrating to get chopped down by one person when Henry fully armored can tank a bunch of arrows and sword swipes and even some maces hits.
But those pole-arms. It just cuts through like butter.
I reinstalled kcd just yesterday and now i get this recommended out of nowhere lmao
Enjoy another play through of KCD. The game is amazing, no matter what crazy videos you get recommended :P
This is one of the most unhinged in psychotic videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. You just murder a whole village with Glee in your voice
Unhinged is probably the best description for this video for certain ;)
Considering that most of the stat gains apparently come from beating up the infinite respawning cows, there doesn't seem to be any reason for killing everyone in Skalitz. The halberd would likely be a bit tougher to get, you'd need to lure the guard away somewhere you can knock him out and steal the halberd. Then let the raid happen, kill the first Cuman - the one pursuing Henry - and get his armor, then the rest as usual.
I actually killed all the Cumans in Skalitz simply by swording them from horseback using Sir Radzig's sword, it's just tedious repeated galloping up and down the path near the mill. Just make sure the damn archers don't wound you else you'll bleed out. Also, there's a back entrance to the ore washing area that op in the video missed, could probably go in there kill some Cumans but idk if the game will force you into the Rovna sequence if you get too close to the front of the area.
Some of the best armor can be found in Skalitz after the raid. There will be about 8 people fighting inside the north gate. If you’re low level, go at night in stealth clothing, let them kill each other, then loot the goods. It’s worth a fortune in Rattay and you can keep the best pieces for yourself. You can go back to Skalitz and do this repeatedly and get rich lol.
Yup. I have done a video on that as well :) Except you do not need to fight or even knock anyone out if you want, just steal a horse ride up and pick up items and peace out. I mean they came to Skalitz for the silver mine, but instead we found gold with the unlimited armor/weapons it provides. Jesus Christ be praised!
Also, don't fast travel, use a horse all the way and back, you can loot much more items (put most on the horse) but you'll also level horsemanship.
Even with juiced stats, the tips Bernard teaches you are the best chance you have in combat.
That is no joke.
A level 20 Henry no combat perks
I've noticed that with normal melee weapons (Not a halberd), you can't seem to kill that first cuman, as he always perfect blocks your attacks, even if your skills are ridiculously high. Not sure if this applies to the other cumans, however, as after discovering this, I didn't try it on the others.
Edit: This also may have changed over time, as I discovered this months ago when I did it the first and last time.
I want to say you're correct on this. (I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure you're right on the first cuman).
Since he is a mask wearing cuman, I think those spawn with higher skill levels, and Henry typically being a low level peasant with no perfect block, dodge, or master strikes, this guy does seem a bit tougher.
Sometimes you get lucky and he just stands there and you can poke him 12 times before he realizes that this is a fight.
Other times you get unlucky and he just flies like a bullet, no wait time and follows you all the way to the bottom of the hill at a sprint just beating your butt while you're trying to get on a horse.
Not sure what causes that last problem, but this guy is a jerk and a pain to fight at the start.
I think I remember seeing a video that said you can kill him with Radzig's sword, but it's very difficult because of Henry's low stats and how tough the Cuman is. You still have to run away because the Cumans on horseback will just keep spawning from the opposite direction you're supposed to go.
I'm subscribing, liking, and commenting in the hopes that you can one day afford a better mic
Many thanks :)
And after this video (blew up) for me at least, I went out and purchased a much better mic :)
Hope you like the smoother voice ;)
@@helicalgoose I'll check out your catalogue sir
Very helpful video! I just beat the base game, got the royal edition after and was kinda disappointed to see saves didnt transfer. This was a life saver!
Glad it helped out!
Yah wished the save system moved a bit better. But, with this you can get to a level you want and then go out there to enjoy. :)
@@helicalgoose for sure, didn’t want to be a scrub again!
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the cows can KILL!
I ran to the other end to make them spawn back, after picking up all the beef on the floor and inspecting my stash, the cows spawned beside me and 1 slowly walked into me and pinned me against the other and pretty much killed me instantly before I knew what was happening. I lost so many levels!
This works with sheep too, and has me thinking that it might be possible to gather people and have them basically get stampeded.
Idk if you’ve done that before cause I just subbed
@@MustangSallyB1atch Yup the cows can actually do some serious damage, but you can also use the cows too if you time it just right.
For awhile I was trying to escape Skalitz using the cows, when they run away, if you get in their path and do a timed jump when they're about to hit you, they will give you a boost jump.
For the longest time I was trying to get over the walls using that, but there are invisible walls all around.
But I found another way to get over those walls without those cows.
The cows injuries me soooo much. Thankfully the mom will heal you up for free each time :)
@@helicalgoose Ma don’t care if you killed the entire village, she won’t turn in her son lmao
But yo I’m out of skalitz now, Idk if it’s because I didn’t kill everyone but it seems some skalitz refugees reported my crimes in Sasau and I was imprisoned for a week! I guess it’s better not to leave witnesses...
@@MustangSallyB1atch Yah the murder thing stays with you.
Even if you kill everyone they have a thing about respawning back in Rattay, like they have a connection to the last person they were alive in Skalitz and report you to the guards there.
Super odd. Like Bernard and his wife or Kunesh who you can't kill.
It sucks, but for the easy gains, it is well worth going to jail for 10 days.
I mean I could choose not to murder during that time, but where is the fun in that.
Idk if you knew this but you can also pick flowers to the point where it increases vitality and max that out through flower picking, it’s been a while so I may be misremembering but you can become op asf just by picking flowers
Oh for certain!
The flower picking is a legit way to level up.
I choose not to do it here, since it was something that nearly everybody does and I wanted to show something different. ;)
But, the herb plants in the town will give you plenty of spending money and some decent stats. Well worth doing if you're going to play as "good" Henry.
