Lol imagine living peacefully in the village. Then one day you see Henry with a weird look in his eyes. Few minutes later he comes back wearing bailiffs clothes and starts hunting you down with a bow.
I feel like maybe, Henry and his father is in on a scam. Really Henry's dad is just selling them the same armor over and over while Henry is sent to "recover" the goods ;)
First time playing KCD: How could the heathen Cumans sack my village?! Can I save them? I will avenge them! Third time around: Their fates are already written. Doom is upon them, either by the hands of others or my own. How can their inevitable suffering benefit me?
Man you sound like some famous youtuber or something yet only under 700 subs while rolling out some well edited videos with just enough editing and own humor. Genuinely pleased man, stay cool like dat
Henry’s character development is like watching the Truman Show. No matter how much you don’t want to be a main character, the game makes you the main character.
Thanks. I really do enjoy making these types of videos. I hope to fall into some more free time to make the next installment. I have the scheme just need to complete it.
I am glad :) Got a decent mic in recently instead of using a gaming headset microphone, that someone commented that made me sound like a youtuber from 2012 :P
I just wanted to say i love your content. I’ve been trying to find exploits for a while and everything is patched, so finding you was a hilarious relief.
I am glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, KCD is one of those games that you can stop playing for a year, then pop back on, start a new game and have a ball! Poor Skalitz village, it feels the brunt of every new start, even before the cumans get there!
I thought this game is so boring but after watching your vids, I decided to buy it. And oh boy, I'm having so much fun with it. Using your tactics early in game is simply magic lol thanks for the great content!!
I am glad that I made the game a bit more fun for you :) KCD can be a slow burn so I understand where some boredom can come from. But once you get snug into the game, it becomes a really good game.
Yup. This game is easy to make videos for because it is so much fun trying to break it, but even when I fail I still have fun breaking it. :) Sad to think there is only so much game I can exploit lol
Many thanks :D I think after my Hardcore Henry series where I sort of just started to stack bugs to mess with the game, the devs just gave up and just put their head down to continue to make KCD2.
Great video! Sound quality has improved significantly. We can all hear your awesome sense of humour now. Text is a tiny bit fast on the screen. (Yes we can pause, but that breaks the flow of the video)
I completely agree. After editing it for a bit, I was sort of torn about keeping text on screen short if it is just a quick joke or keep it on longer. But if you find the fast text a bit annoying, then yah that tips my thought of making those a bit longer. Thanks for the feedback :)
Oh my ears, what bliss... your added effects also have improved a lot... in the span of just 2 weeks... also you replying to EVERY bloody comment, you are a mental person for that much engagement. Great job.
Thanks for the notice :) I am happy with the purchase of the new mic. Now I can't listen to my old videos anymore. I did not realize it was that bad >.< I do like to reply to as many people as I can. I do enjoy talking about KCD or the other games I play. I do not know that many people in RL that have even heard of this game :)
@@helicalgoose I see what you mean :D It is a great game, I am eagerly awaiting something else from WH studios. KCD had amazing concepts and brilliant ideas. Some of them were just hindered a little by the huge bugs at launch. And another thing that sometimes buggs me is the topic of stolen items... HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SAUSAGE I TOOK FROM THE DEAD GUY IS STOLEN? or the realism in shooting bow and arrow. As an archer myself it is really difficult to capture in a game what goes into shooting an arrow but I always felt that even at lvl 20 the yew warbow's drawspeed was just too slow compared to what it actually is. Obviously you have to strike some sort of ingame balance aswell but still...
I wonder if Matthew and Fritz would still be there when Sigismund's army come slaughtering people and he just: "Are you mad? what are you doing? we have to get rid of his wife first."
lol, funny that you mention that. I found a way to weasel out of the brawl after you throw poop at the house. The quest is still active and I was curious if it auto fails (which it doesn't because it wants you there). but sadly no, they can't be stuck there forever. :(
Glad you liked the KCD videos. I have been trying to get more time to do something big on them. Just during this time in my life it has been way too busy. I wish I made these videos a few months ago when I had all that unemployed time lol :P
I know you covered this in another video, but there’s a bug where if you take out Johanka BEFORE the poop toss, the catchpole will NOT come for you. Then you can punch out your friends until they duck down and use them as a means to max out your melee weapons. PROBLEM: knocking Johanka out BEFORE the fight on console leads to an infinite loading screen when you try to initiate the scene with Theresa. All that work for nothing. SOLUTION: Before the poop sling, do EVERYTHING for the main quest except the ale. Initiate the brawl, then as soon as you knock out the first guy, it’ll trigger Johanka to run down and warn you. AS SHES DOING THAT, immediately stealth choke her. It’ll cause the same glitch with the catchpole (screen will flash black), then punch out everyone in the group so they’re ducking. After that, do the ale run, then get everything to your dad. When you’re told to go for the nails, THEN you go and level your unarmed. From there, work it up long enough to get the head cracker perk and the better clinch. Isolate guards, punch them, and if they get their weapons out, surrender then flee. Immediately run up, throw another punch to force them into unarmed combat. Clinch, knee them in the head until they get knocked out. Loot, kill, move on. Rinse and repeat until all guards are gone and you have an axe, sword, and mace (and bow). DO NOT SAVE. IT WILL reset the bug and you won’t have free targets. Doing it this way also prevents you from getting locked into infinite loading on the ps5 / Xbox. Merilala discovered this work around and saved me loads of frustration. I love this series of videos you did. Absolutely entertaining beyond words, and found myself laughing way too much. Can’t wait for your KCD2 playlists!
Yah what you said is a really good tip for anyone else that wants to do that sort of trick. Sometimes like you said you get the infinite loading screen of doom or the guards never stop chasing you even though they are dead. But this is great. I don't know what KCD2 has in store, but with it being such a huge game I am certain we will see some other insane thing going on :D
It is not a bad idea. Though I do wish there was an option to just add in the dot if you want. If the Devs ever read this stuff, please make it an option to turn the dot on, even if it is not the default option.
That is true, but the hardest thing is having enough arrows. The arrows seem to break a lot more on animals, and unless you knock out the guards properly so they respawn some arrows you will eventually run out of arrows. But there are sheep near Rattay too ;)
Too many. They would have to rebuild the game from scratch. ;) I also did another video about spots like that in towns where guards are more oblivious than ever, because they lack the ability to look up. But to be fair, this is a huge game, spots like this will happen. Also, I did not even notice this on my first few times playing this game.
I think I will slowly go through all the KCD game trying to find exploits/bugs. It will take awhile, but slowly will speed up once I get past the big ideas. :)
You know that is a real challenge. A painful one to be honest, especially if I am not trying to save scum too much. The two guards that I think would be the toughest are by the castle draw bridge. You would have to get them lured out to investigate a body. Those two stand next to each other and you can't get behind them, there is an invisible wall on the drawbridge. I believe it can be done, but there is going to be a bit of training in stealth to pull that off :P
@@helicalgoose Believe me, I tried so hard... the two guards at the gate are actually not so hard, just lure them out and wait until they get to the inner gate, easy to stealth kill. But a lot of times, I thought i'd kill a guard without being seen and after couple of minutes, it says I'm wanted...it seems as though there's always some civilians hiding and watching...If I kill too many civiians, they won't spot the corpses to call the guards at the gate...
@@helicalgoose I also tried a lot other game-breaking stuffs, like killing black peter before the tournement, etc. but still there're things that i wanted to try but haven't tried out yet. hope you can do more, particularly after the main quest line has started. For example, kill ginger before the Neuhof event?
No, it's not. I've just finished this mission in hard mode with all negative perks. All you need is lvl 6 strength and lvl 5 stealth and dagger. With higher level of strength it will be easier, because several guards have chance to avoid your stealth attack. What about two lads near the castle you have to attract their attention using dead corpses of skalitz folk and when they (guards) will go back to the gate slow one of them with your body. Just walk in front of last guard and kill him when the first one will disappear from line on sight. I hope I've explained correctly.
@@wonniethepoop7856 I get what you're saying. From what I can tell the two named guards by castle are probably ultra flimsy and probably could be easy choked out. The way I would probably do it, is choke out that guy by the gate who is flinging hay and use his body to lure. I will have to test this out and see if those guards are easy to get armor/sword. The down side is that I do not think they ever carry a bow, which is really what I want :(
Just bought the game cos I've been meaning to play it for a while, saw this vid and the Ranton review and I made up my mind to get it for my ps4. Its great
Hope you're enjoying the game :) Honestly it is a bit rough at the start but once you sort of get that it is meant to be rough with you starting out, it just makes getting leveled up and a rolling badass that much more fun!
Why is it that no matter what game. Becoming a thief usually leads to a mountain of gold within a few hours. Though in Kingdom Come, being a gardener can be more profitable and enjoyable than lockpicking or pickpocketing.
23:15 I have seriously had it with these coward peasants trying to run from me when I attack them. They're the same kind of people who blaspheme my name when my horse tramples them. To the gallows with all of them!
You know after editing the video for awhile, I really think Skalitz is just a really large hunting reserve for Henry. There are places that you can go to hunt animals to hunt in a caged arena. Skalitz is just that place for Henry chasing down peasants.
los mejores videos, gracias a vos aniquile todo skalitz jajajaaj, hay que tener cuidado, ya que una vez echo todo esto, te pueden odiar los guardias en rattay, eso o es que yo choque sin querer a alguno en caballo jajajaj
Jaja, muchas gracias :) Es muy divertido destruir skalitz, no sé exactamente por qué, pero lo es ... ¡Y skalitz y Rattay comparten el mismo sistema de justicia, por lo que cualquier crimen que cometas en skalitz te cobrará en Rattay! ¡Es bastante injusto! Pero de todos modos, me alegra que hayas disfrutado el video :D
This game is so buggy. I just lost 6 hours of progress bc I dropped gear and it glitched in the air landing on my head, preventing me from moving or jumping and couldn’t be picked back up again permanently trapping me there and when I paused the game I couldn’t move in the menu or unpause pausing me to quit the game and lose all my progress.
The way to deal with this, is to try and fast travel. It sucks but, sometimes that works for me. The other way, is to go into inventory and drink a save potion then reload the game and hope it drops you out somewhere else. Typically when things land on you, when you save and reload, it will put you on top of the item to prevent you from being "stuck" anymore. Sorry to hear about the lost of progress. Do check the old logs maybe there is something closer. Typically I try to drop a save every hour if possible because this game can either cause me break Henry's ankles in the middle of nowhere or bug makes me go crazy.
Aww thanks :) I think I just need to expand out to other games. Someday I will, but right now just enjoying messing around with KCD and learning how to become a better video editor :)
Haha, well yes there is an explanation for this. These earlier videos I was using a really cruddy mic (Headset mic) and I was trying to do some audio improvements and testing them out on these videos. The newer videos I bought a new mic and it sounds far better than anything else and no need to really play with the audio :P
I found a weird trick. If you’re way over encumbered and standing as close to the cow as you can be, you can stab it without it running away. It doesn’t work with punching though
The real value of Skalitz was not the silver, but all the free armor that drops when you stop on by. Inflation of used armor goods must of been terrible in Bohemia at the time.
With the guy stacking hay, i've actually killed him by knocking him out a lot of times. You can farm the money for a while though after several hours of knocking various people around town out over and over the guy stacking hay does die from being knocked out. I didn't notice until the guards yelled there's a corpse. but I definitely just knocked him out. I tend to get my stealth up to around 16 and lockpicking up around there as well. once you reach lvl 15 with lockpicking you can pick every lock in skallits including the house doors across from the inn, which I believe is the bailiffs house.
You bring up something that is really strange in Skalitz area about knocking people out and just killing them. I have seen this on a bunch of villagers too. I thought it was just because I knocking them out in their beds was the issue, but it happens all around. The animation makes this strange knock out where Henry just does an extra "bump" movement then the person is dead, like wtf! I needed them to train my stealth on! This is the only location I know that does this, and no idea why it happens. Maybe it was put in to prevent people from building up their stealth to max here? Hard to say. Ah and the other house is the bailiff's house! I killed him before but he does not drop a key. I am guessing there is nothing special in there? I was going to try to beef jump into that place but have not gotten around to it.
Ah thanks for the information. I won't try to force my way in there lol. I did get into a roof of one of the buildings with a bed that you can't access any ways, like why was it there. But it did not have anything cool in there :(
Thanks. I will try to keep putting out more episodes sort of like this once I get some more free time :) I got more ideas already in the slot just need more time to make it :)
Ah there are a ton of tips that tend not to get repeated because many people make the assumptions that everyone knows about it. But then people forget that new people are starting to give KCD a try again and those tips are long gone. Also there are a ton of things in KCD that can be done which makes the game pretty good ":)
Ah, glad you're enjoying the videos. Hopefully my voice change from the mic is not too jarring ;) And the little sticker technique works 100% The main problem is remembering to take it off after quitting the game.
Ive come to realise the vast majority of my time across numerous save files is spent dicking about in Skalitz. Bring on Kingdom Come 2's tutorial level.
I think just messing around this area is unique and brings on a small challenge to see how badly you can mess with this game :P But I still can not pin point why destroying skalitz is more fun than destroying anything other town in Kingdom Come. And I really do hope Kingdom Come 2 has a tutorial area that we can just mess up as well :P
@@helicalgoose What makes it so special is the juxtapose of how worthless, hopeless and thankless Henry should be in the opening act of the game to how strong he can be, and all it takes is a little know how. It helps massively that this game is a proper RPG that may not be as robust as the old, purely text based RPG's but stands on its own as a fully voice acted RPG, so actions have consequences... That is apart from in Skalitz. Skalitz is like a lucid dream, every other town you pillage feels like it has meaningful consequence and things can get messy and out of control down the line. Skalitz is it's own little game, the whole point up until handing Theresa the nails is basically a character creation. Will I be champion warrior, a honed wordsmith, a master thief or just a cow puncher? The choice is yours.
Well said! :) The RP element of the game is very refreshing compared to other open world RPGs. This one sort of tries to get you to play along being a role playing game. Rather other games expect you to act like an idiot like me and have a story sort of to keep you progressing down their own gameplay line.
Huh, maybe there is something to it. I continuously got unlucky with them and maybe wrongly assume that you need higher strength. Well free heavy armor on first guy, boom that is good news :)
@@helicalgoose yeah it was a total fluke, i had just saved and then turned around and accidently tried to take down the guard and it worked. He had a ton of armor and weapons so i was overencumbered and had to drop a bunch of loot in a near by empty shed. I died tho and had to try it like 6 times before it worked again.
Hmm, I am not familiar with the chest. I know there is a chest in Talmberg you can get some decent armor by just knocking out a peasant. If you can elaborate a bit I can try to answer that :D
Another, a bit more peaceful way. Farm 200 Groschen, then punch isolated guards, run even further away, surrender, pay yourself free, wait, till the guard goes back towards his positon, sneak up on him and knock him out. Steal your Groschen and all his gear.
That works out pretty well with the guard that I knock out earlier in the run. The problem is that you have to lead them away otherwise other peasants will start calling other guards over and they will come with swords drawn O.o So that works, but it can be problematic.
Also, i tried this and when i saved n reloaded after beating on the 3 guys, it loads in and they are running but my friends just stand still not progressing the quest any further
If you're talking about the Deutsche quest beating those people up, it sort of "breaks" when you reload. Aside from them being invulnerable, your teammates become inactive and just sit around. The downside is that you now can not get the lockpick. But you can still get out of Skaltiz without completing this quest.
I might do a little walkthrough. But then again I sort am, just with bugs :P The main thing is that I want it to be entertaining a bit to watch and something new for people to see. I feel like there have been plenty of play throughs of these. Maybe do smaller videos released more often of specific hard to do missions? I will have to think of this.
@@maplesyrup8070 Yah that might not be a bad idea overall :) I was thinking maybe after the bugs, I would do something like how do stats, reputations, and the basic things work out. Then I might try to do a bull run of the hardcore mode with all negative traits. I never played it before, so that might be the time to explain a walkthrough plus find all the best items with lower risks :P
is there any way to kill johannka then grind and still have the game working complteely f9 ? (saving issues) i used this glitch and lvled up and killed all the guards though after my 1 save , the game started crashing
I have heard that there is a bug for that crashing the game. Are you on PS4 or Xbox by chance? On PC I am able to get around it quite easily by ending combat by "surrendering" or paying money to a guard, but other than that I thankfully never had to deal with a bug crash like that. Maybe what you can try is ending combat and seeing if afterwards you move to get out of the tutorial area and escape Skaltiz that the file sort of "re-adjusts" itself back to a usable state. The game get fussy when we mess with it too much :P
Spent like three hours trying to do this, I only choked the bow guy five times, beat him up twice using the small hill by him. I don’t even know how to do the cow glitch and I’m almost never high enough level to actually use the bow, in strength or agility, anybody got any tips or info?
Sure, what part are you having trouble on? The guard knocking out is a % chance roll and at these lower levels you're more likely to get caught. The thing I liked to do is stealth take downs of all the villagers that walk on the outside of the village to gain a bit of stats for stealth before I try the guards. Also I build up a bit of strength with the cows. It will take a bit of stabbing and skill gain to level up strength maybe 20-30 mins of work, but you should be able to use the bow after that, not unless the guard drops a really good bow that requires level 10 str. But yah if you need more help just ask and I can help out if you need.
hey idk if u already know this or not, but the towns people and guards, and sheep will respawn after and hour of real world time. i had all the guards killed for a while and i was walking around picking herbs and all of a sudden a fucking guard appears and kills me out of nowhere. i found out that they will respawn over and over so you can keep using them to build your skills. Also theres a rock against the wall you can stand on to where the cuman cant hit you and you can kill him, but you gotta hurry cause theres two more cumans coming.
Hmm I am not certain if this is true in Skaltiz. I killed a few villagers and guards long long ago like first hour in the game to max out the guy and they stayed dead. I think in Skalitz time if frozen, and since time does not progress, the people do not come back. It is true once you get out of the tutorial area that time passes and guards and villagers do come back. Then again I was only in the Skalitz for about 10 hours and maybe needed more. The rock thing is true and too easy to do. :")
@@helicalgoose nah im talking about in skallitz , i killed the entire village except henrys friends, parents, and kunesh and after a couple hours they would respawn. The crossguard for radzig sword, i had 3 of them becasue i stayed there and the guard respawned. All the villagers hated me tho once they respawned and would run when they saw me.
@@helicalgoose also i relized once i left skallitz my hud is glitched and doesnt show, nor the little symbol when fighting....idky but i assumed it was just like that in the beginning but nah im in talmberg now and its still gone.
Technically, it is not my first KCD videos. I did do a small play through long time ago. But don't look them *Hides the videos to hide away the shoddy work* Also SB and DtGV both do a great job with their videos. It is sort of a relief to myself to know that I match or tops some of their videos, it is letting me know that I am doing something right in making these videos. But I do hope they top that video because they are fantastic at what they do :)
Oh yah! The Waffle house lol. I completely forgotten about that, but now I want some waffles too! Sadly there is not a single Waffle House near me for about 2k miles.
If you stick people in a barrel and have their legs do the crazy fold up thing, they just get back up like some crazy yoga stuff. Now if you toss them into a deep river in my attempts they do not die but sort of get stuck. Eventually they get themselves free from the hole, but I do not think they die. I am not certain if I did not have them deep enough in the water or not, but their heads were mostly underwater.
Yup, the way to get that dot to stay put is if you have PC, it only works on that. But what you need to do is open up the console command line, then type wh_pl_showfirecursor 1 Then put away and pull out your bow again. After this, the dot will stick around, until you restart you game. Best of luck and enjoy! :D
Thanks, I am glad you said something about that. That is probably from the fans of my computer. I heard them too during editing and was trying to figure out if it was the mic or the fans. I will have to do some noise cancellation sort of deal if possible to remove that.
Every time I make a video about KCD I learn something new too. I almost have 500 hours in the game and I am still surprised by some things... but I am also surprised that I have 500 hours in KCD O.o
Yah this only works on PC, but if you open up the console commands and type in wh_pl_showfirecursor 1 then equip your bow the little dot will stay up :)
I guess so, I have not fired a bow in real life in like 10 years. It has been quite awhile. But the bows in this game are OP, once you have skill of 5 and above. I try to limit myself sometimes to avoid cheesing the game too much :P
I really wish that dot thing worked on Xbox because I’ve played the game a hundred times and beating Hans at archery is easy enough but everything else like hunting is….ugh
100% agreed. If they ever make KCD I would really like them to at least give the option to put on the little dot. Like have it off by default if you want, but please...I don't need to come home from work and want to blow off steam with a game and figure out which way drunk hunting Henry is going to shoot his arrow. Its really not that bad with practice, but that only comes after 20+ hours of messing with the bow.
I have a silly question, I have seen you break skalitz over your knee 10 or more times. I am wondering; however, is there a way to train in Skalitz without losing reputation? I have played 95 hours on KCD, and 92 of those were spent in Skalitz, and I keep messing up and either being thrown in jail after 7 hours of not saving, or I am just not satisfied with my stats or reputation. Is there a way to sate my endlees need for the approval of NPCs while simultaneously gaining skills and experience.
Well the only way I can see that happening is punching cows and not getting caught. Which will be tough because of the villagers going around the side of the village, and if you do not kill them, they sort of cause problems. And the other ways to get exp usually takes punch someone or beating them up which drops the reputation. I know with Theresa's DLC you can train her up in Skalitz without losing a single point in reputation and that includes archery. Without losing rep you would have to go to Rattay and be free in the open world, Skalitz I do not think its possible without being more than extortionately careful. It is almost better to take the reputation hit and then just make all the Skalitz refugees happy by doing those quests all around which will get you back to 100 or close.
@@lordbread8102 gambling helps u earn reputation , sometimes i just murder few people out and then gamble few rounds to just wait for a npc to report a murder to guards
You just need to complete the quest from your father. I do not think there is a way to fail, unless you kill the guards by the gate and you do not loot the crossguard you need for making the sword before the body disappears. That is a way to break the game right there ;)
@@joshuamcanally5397 Really? That is an odd one. You might have to reload from an earlier save, which hopefully you do have one. The other thing is to give him time to calm down. If your father is in a panic about bodies they usually wear themselves out after about 10 minutes because they can't find a guard. Then you should be able to talk to him. If there are more bodies around when he gets tuckered out then he restarts the process which could be happening. The NPCs report one body at a time and run around like crazy. Then the next. From what I can tell they never get freaked out by the same body, so eventually he should calm down for you to talk to him :)
Haha, I think this video got made right after the other one did quite well and I tried fixing some editing problems, so I could see where it seems sort of "not showing something cool vibe" The other videos like "Beef jumping" or escaping skalitz is more original and showing something cool. But, I do miss that voice that you might be talking about, like holy smokes check this out, because I was not shocked myself but rather planning out earlier how to do something. Sort of a problem, unless I just did a straight streaming which can be boring if there is lots of dead time, especially with this game.
I believe so :( I am 99% certain that she does. I mean if Bernard and his wife come back to life she is back too and I think I have seen her before just not in recordings.
What patch is this KCD? I don't think this is the latest patch. I bought KCD from GoG a long time ago, patch it to latest version, and I know that Skalitz guard is not to be trifled...and definitely not just surrender after you shot him one time. Furthermore, those straw hat dude in the beginning...I remember vividly that I must dispose his body (killed him that day) behind the stables because your mother patrolling in and out of those castle gate (she just refilling her family bucket of water from nearby well...).
This should be the latest patch, well time of posting the video. I have the steam version and it auto-updates. Yah the straw hat guy is not a big deal. If they find the body but not find you when they find it immediately then everyone just goes oh well, dead guy. The one shot to the guard was surprising to me too. It was a head shot, so maybe? Hard to say. The damage on weapons goes on a range, I probably got very lucky on that and got him down on health.
@@helicalgoose In KCD luck is definitely something... I got saved once near ruined Skalitz (vs high level bandit) by patrol...Idk how, they just start beating each other while I run..and run until ran out of stamina...
Starting out playing KCD, running into those high level bandits with plate armor is terrifying. The only thing you can do is just run. What I am thankful for, is that bandits do not (or not often) high level archers. If you get dinged by some of those arrows your poor horse or yourself will go down really fast.
The best way is to have 200 groschen handy (by selling beef) and then you punch a guard and surrender to them right away. They will ask for 200 groschen to pay off the fine and then the quest will be over and you can continue on :D Otherwise, if you get caught by a guard it could be problematic without the 200 groschen you basically get a game over :/
@@Joe_Friday Ah, if you're playing on normal mode, they put in an auto-save at the start and end of every quest that does help out. The save potion is a bit a nuisance, but honestly after awhile I hardly notice it. Mostly because I steal every potion I could ever use, but that is beside the point :P In the future if they make another game it should be one of those optional things to have in the game, or either a hardcore mode only thing. But at the start the groschen is low and 200 seems a bit to save, but that does go away after awhile ;)
I do not think so, not for Skalitz at least. But I would not worry about that since you can buy lockpicks at Talmberg easily, or with all the armor you have already leave Talmberg almost immediately.
This still works for PC nothing has really changed in the time frame. The only thing that it screws with is your reputation with Skalitz and Rattay. Also you will be charged with murder too most likely, meaning you will have to stay in jail for ten days or either wipe out all of Rattay to show them who is boss :P And I could've sworn I replied to you before, but I feel like youtube comments section is being strange. A few people it says I have not replied to, but hope this finds you well :D
I might later on, because you're correct. That has been shown to work really well, but I know it sort of annoys people. But right now I think I need to increase the quality of my videos before I start doing that :)
Hmm, last time I check (today actually) by steam current patch it still is possible. I have had really good luck where I choked out guards 5 out of 5 times and really bad luck where I get caught 5 out of 5 times. It is a luck of the draw sort of thing. I have not been able to figure out how to make it better other than grinding stealth like a madman. But I want my bow and armor now sort of deal. I would say keep trying, but it can be frustrating to have to scum save a bunch.
@@helicalgoose yeah? Cheers buddy Well I wounder if it depends on the weopon the person is holding? I dunno but I've got lvl 3 strength and not sure bout stealth but maybe I just try and if fail reload and so on and so forth oh and I'm on ps4 btw
Yah it is a tough one to determine. I seem to have better luck on lightly armored people, my guess their strength is lower which might be helping(?) I know that higher stealth does make stealth choke outs easier. Which you can grind against the villagers, but it is so god awful boring. I do not know what would be better, the grind or the fail reloads. And the PS4 version I wish I knew more about. The consoles version is quite seems quite a bit tougher in every aspect. I do not know if they constantly update that version, so there might be some old bugs that still work on that but other things may not work that I am doing on the current PC version :(
@@helicalgoose I guess I'm just gonna have to grind the stealth on the villagers and go from there there's only one lightly armoured gaurd if I remember rightly eurgh im sure it did use to be alot easier along time ago, oh well we shall see
I am not entirely certain. I know that killing most of the Skalitz people did not matter since they came back to life in Rattay at least. I shall see sooner or later :)
Helical thanks for the reply, it’s awesome to see people still playing this game in 2021. I’ve been wanting to start a new campaign for like the 1000th time. I shall be watching your vids with great interest as to what I may not already know. 👍
You know, that is probably the best advice for console users for the dot. Honestly, I wish to the devs would just put it as a menu option in the game. You want the dot, boom here, or at least give it to people in normal, but not hardcore.
You killed Zbyshekk in your previous video. Can you kill him before the fight? Those 2 guards standing at the castle normally apear later at Ratay castle. Will they appear there even if you killed them in Skalitz? One of those guys also is in a cutscene at the end of the game so if hes dead that would be interesing
I believe he is immortal. Last time when I killed Zbyshek, it was after I did the little tavern quest. Until that tavern quest is complete those three guys have an immortal tag, which is useful for practicing on. And thanks for the tip on the castle guards. You know I killed them and went to Rattay and did not see them guarding the stairs like they normally do. However, other people in Skalitz get respawned back and I do not know why. I will take a look see what is up. I have not completed the game with maxed out Henry, sort of been trying out other exploits in the game. Skailtz had more fun in it before I could work on other exploits.
I wish! That darn Spiff hoards all the tea for himself. Said something along the lines that he can't trust Americans with good tea anymore after a specific incident long ago.
Big time. But I do have to say, recently I obtain much better hardware and the load times really fly by which makes the game way more enjoyable. I am not certain if this game was advance for its time, or that it was poorly optimized. Probably the later, but if you do get a chance to play this on PS5 or PC with a good graphics card, this becomes a non issue :)
Lol imagine living peacefully in the village. Then one day you see Henry with a weird look in his eyes. Few minutes later he comes back wearing bailiffs clothes and starts hunting you down with a bow.
I can see that conversation playing out...Hey Henry. Nice clothes...where did you get the....*thunk with an arrow to the head*
Medieval time period school shooter
@@helicalgoose Henry’s come to see us!
@@epicninjapro2 I like to think that the villagers are screaming that and not so cheerful :P
@@helicalgoose lmao
Henry's dad will be wondering why he's constantly getting more orders for guard armour every day.
I feel like maybe, Henry and his father is in on a scam. Really Henry's dad is just selling them the same armor over and over while Henry is sent to "recover" the goods ;)
Many many times in a single day
First time playing KCD: How could the heathen Cumans sack my village?! Can I save them? I will avenge them!
Third time around: Their fates are already written. Doom is upon them, either by the hands of others or my own. How can their inevitable suffering benefit me?
I enjoy the plotting of how to make the enemies of Henry suffer, or just die quickly.
There is something oddly calming about watching Helical break KCD and go on murderous rampages.
I am slightly worried that every "exploit" that I do involves lots of murder in the KCD universe.
Man you sound like some famous youtuber or something yet only under 700 subs while rolling out some well edited videos with just enough editing and own humor. Genuinely pleased man, stay cool like dat
Thanks for that, it is a small confidence boost. Hopefully I can continue to put out some better quality videos as I go along. :)
Henry’s character development is like watching the Truman Show. No matter how much you don’t want to be a main character, the game makes you the main character.
I love your KC:D videos so much:D Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I really do enjoy making these types of videos. I hope to fall into some more free time to make the next installment. I have the scheme just need to complete it.
Wow your mic quality has seriously improved
I am glad :) Got a decent mic in recently instead of using a gaming headset microphone, that someone commented that made me sound like a youtuber from 2012 :P
I thought it was a different person lol. Had to go back to the previous video and check it was the right channel
Nope, he went through puberty the second time
@@fortytwohrs he went through puberty backward
I just wanted to say i love your content. I’ve been trying to find exploits for a while and everything is patched, so finding you was a hilarious relief.
I was actually surprised to find this many just in Skalitz. o.O'
The legend is back and with better audio ‼️🤯
I am happy that people notice that the audio got better. I was worried I was going to spend a bunch of money and not have any improvements lol. :)
the quality improves with every video
love it!
I am glad that I am doing some improvements as I go :)
Freaking hilarious! I had just as much fun watching this as you did playing it!! Thanks for that
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly, KCD is one of those games that you can stop playing for a year, then pop back on, start a new game and have a ball! Poor Skalitz village, it feels the brunt of every new start, even before the cumans get there!
I thought this game is so boring but after watching your vids, I decided to buy it. And oh boy, I'm having so much fun with it. Using your tactics early in game is simply magic lol thanks for the great content!!
I am glad that I made the game a bit more fun for you :)
KCD can be a slow burn so I understand where some boredom can come from. But once you get snug into the game, it becomes a really good game.
Thanks man for making videos for this amazing game. You help keep it running!!!! Love ya vids, keep up the great content 😁
Yup. This game is easy to make videos for because it is so much fun trying to break it, but even when I fail I still have fun breaking it. :) Sad to think there is only so much game I can exploit lol
That part about the Devs screaming about players finding exploits cracked me up really good video.
Many thanks :D
I think after my Hardcore Henry series where I sort of just started to stack bugs to mess with the game, the devs just gave up and just put their head down to continue to make KCD2.
Dude, this series is awesome cause this game rules ass, and you’re so subtly hilarious with your commentary. I LOVE it. 🤘🏻
Thanks :)
Skalitz was a fun place to mess around in. For such a small area, there was so much to do!
Great video! Sound quality has improved significantly. We can all hear your awesome sense of humour now.
Text is a tiny bit fast on the screen. (Yes we can pause, but that breaks the flow of the video)
I completely agree. After editing it for a bit, I was sort of torn about keeping text on screen short if it is just a quick joke or keep it on longer. But if you find the fast text a bit annoying, then yah that tips my thought of making those a bit longer. Thanks for the feedback :)
Oh my ears, what bliss... your added effects also have improved a lot... in the span of just 2 weeks... also you replying to EVERY bloody comment, you are a mental person for that much engagement. Great job.
Thanks for the notice :) I am happy with the purchase of the new mic. Now I can't listen to my old videos anymore. I did not realize it was that bad >.<
I do like to reply to as many people as I can. I do enjoy talking about KCD or the other games I play. I do not know that many people in RL that have even heard of this game :)
@@helicalgoose I see what you mean :D
It is a great game, I am eagerly awaiting something else from WH studios. KCD had amazing concepts and brilliant ideas.
Some of them were just hindered a little by the huge bugs at launch.
And another thing that sometimes buggs me is the topic of stolen items... HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SAUSAGE I TOOK FROM THE DEAD GUY IS STOLEN?
or the realism in shooting bow and arrow.
As an archer myself it is really difficult to capture in a game what goes into shooting an arrow but I always felt that even at lvl 20 the yew warbow's drawspeed was just too slow compared to what it actually is.
Obviously you have to strike some sort of ingame balance aswell but still...
I wonder if Matthew and Fritz would still be there when Sigismund's army come slaughtering people and he just:
"Are you mad? what are you doing? we have to get rid of his wife first."
lol, funny that you mention that.
I found a way to weasel out of the brawl after you throw poop at the house.
The quest is still active and I was curious if it auto fails (which it doesn't because it wants you there).
but sadly no, they can't be stuck there forever. :(
Damn I found you today and have binged all you KC:D vids! Happy to be here from the start before you become mega famous 😂
Glad you liked the KCD videos. I have been trying to get more time to do something big on them. Just during this time in my life it has been way too busy. I wish I made these videos a few months ago when I had all that unemployed time lol :P
I know you covered this in another video, but there’s a bug where if you take out Johanka BEFORE the poop toss, the catchpole will NOT come for you. Then you can punch out your friends until they duck down and use them as a means to max out your melee weapons.
PROBLEM: knocking Johanka out BEFORE the fight on console leads to an infinite loading screen when you try to initiate the scene with Theresa. All that work for nothing.
SOLUTION: Before the poop sling, do EVERYTHING for the main quest except the ale. Initiate the brawl, then as soon as you knock out the first guy, it’ll trigger Johanka to run down and warn you. AS SHES DOING THAT, immediately stealth choke her. It’ll cause the same glitch with the catchpole (screen will flash black), then punch out everyone in the group so they’re ducking.
After that, do the ale run, then get everything to your dad. When you’re told to go for the nails, THEN you go and level your unarmed. From there, work it up long enough to get the head cracker perk and the better clinch. Isolate guards, punch them, and if they get their weapons out, surrender then flee. Immediately run up, throw another punch to force them into unarmed combat. Clinch, knee them in the head until they get knocked out. Loot, kill, move on. Rinse and repeat until all guards are gone and you have an axe, sword, and mace (and bow).
DO NOT SAVE. IT WILL reset the bug and you won’t have free targets. Doing it this way also prevents you from getting locked into infinite loading on the ps5 / Xbox. Merilala discovered this work around and saved me loads of frustration.
I love this series of videos you did. Absolutely entertaining beyond words, and found myself laughing way too much. Can’t wait for your KCD2 playlists!
Yah what you said is a really good tip for anyone else that wants to do that sort of trick.
Sometimes like you said you get the infinite loading screen of doom or the guards never stop chasing you even though they are dead.
But this is great.
I don't know what KCD2 has in store, but with it being such a huge game I am certain we will see some other insane thing going on :D
Wow an even MORE updated video! Thanks!
I did not think there was that much to do at Skalitz either. For the sake of the Skalitz residences, I hope there is not more exploits there :P
I actually have a trick for console players for the dot. I just put a little dot of tape on my screen at the exact spot so it stays with the bow
It is not a bad idea.
Though I do wish there was an option to just add in the dot if you want.
If the Devs ever read this stuff, please make it an option to turn the dot on, even if it is not the default option.
WOW MUCHISIMAS GRACIS! es una muy buena idea
@@augustodmz Im not good at spanish but i kinda understand you. You're Welcome, friend.
congrats to 10.000 subs :)
Ah many thanks!
Glad you are looking at this older video haha, I really need to redo it sometime :P
If you want to train bow without killing anyone you can just keep shooting the sheep, which will respawn. You level hunting then as well
That is true, but the hardest thing is having enough arrows. The arrows seem to break a lot more on animals, and unless you knock out the guards properly so they respawn some arrows you will eventually run out of arrows. But there are sheep near Rattay too ;)
7:08 do you know how many spots they would have to block off in this game to prevent this exploit?
Too many. They would have to rebuild the game from scratch. ;)
I also did another video about spots like that in towns where guards are more oblivious than ever, because they lack the ability to look up.
But to be fair, this is a huge game, spots like this will happen. Also, I did not even notice this on my first few times playing this game.
This is hilarious and great content :D
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
You should do an entire series playing through the entire game and just showing off exploits and ways to get gear and such
I think I will slowly go through all the KCD game trying to find exploits/bugs. It will take awhile, but slowly will speed up once I get past the big ideas. :)
I think killing and training are not hard at all in Skalitz, what’s hard is trying to killing all the guards without being noticed
You know that is a real challenge. A painful one to be honest, especially if I am not trying to save scum too much. The two guards that I think would be the toughest are by the castle draw bridge. You would have to get them lured out to investigate a body. Those two stand next to each other and you can't get behind them, there is an invisible wall on the drawbridge. I believe it can be done, but there is going to be a bit of training in stealth to pull that off :P
@@helicalgoose Believe me, I tried so hard... the two guards at the gate are actually not so hard, just lure them out and wait until they get to the inner gate, easy to stealth kill. But a lot of times, I thought i'd kill a guard without being seen and after couple of minutes, it says I'm wanted...it seems as though there's always some civilians hiding and watching...If I kill too many civiians, they won't spot the corpses to call the guards at the gate...
@@helicalgoose I also tried a lot other game-breaking stuffs, like killing black peter before the tournement, etc. but still there're things that i wanted to try but haven't tried out yet. hope you can do more, particularly after the main quest line has started. For example, kill ginger before the Neuhof event?
No, it's not. I've just finished this mission in hard mode with all negative perks. All you need is lvl 6 strength and lvl 5 stealth and dagger. With higher level of strength it will be easier, because several guards have chance to avoid your stealth attack.
What about two lads near the castle you have to attract their attention using dead corpses of skalitz folk and when they (guards) will go back to the gate slow one of them with your body. Just walk in front of last guard and kill him when the first one will disappear from line on sight. I hope I've explained correctly.
@@wonniethepoop7856
I get what you're saying.
From what I can tell the two named guards by castle are probably ultra flimsy and probably could be easy choked out.
The way I would probably do it, is choke out that guy by the gate who is flinging hay and use his body to lure.
I will have to test this out and see if those guards are easy to get armor/sword.
The down side is that I do not think they ever carry a bow, which is really what I want :(
Just bought the game cos I've been meaning to play it for a while, saw this vid and the Ranton review and I made up my mind to get it for my ps4. Its great
Hope you're enjoying the game :)
Honestly it is a bit rough at the start but once you sort of get that it is meant to be rough with you starting out, it just makes getting leveled up and a rolling badass that much more fun!
I went the peaceful rought of the gardener I picked all the weeds (also some of the locks) and started the game with 7 strength and a ton of money
Why is it that no matter what game. Becoming a thief usually leads to a mountain of gold within a few hours.
Though in Kingdom Come, being a gardener can be more profitable and enjoyable than lockpicking or pickpocketing.
23:15 I have seriously had it with these coward peasants trying to run from me when I attack them. They're the same kind of people who blaspheme my name when my horse tramples them. To the gallows with all of them!
You know after editing the video for awhile, I really think Skalitz is just a really large hunting reserve for Henry. There are places that you can go to hunt animals to hunt in a caged arena. Skalitz is just that place for Henry chasing down peasants.
when they run you pull out the bow and pop em in the back, i gotten pretty good with the bow even with no crosshair
Henry has entered the matrix
Henry can fly! Well with beef at least :D
los mejores videos, gracias a vos aniquile todo skalitz jajajaaj, hay que tener cuidado, ya que una vez echo todo esto, te pueden odiar los guardias en rattay, eso o es que yo choque sin querer a alguno en caballo jajajaj
Jaja, muchas gracias :)
Es muy divertido destruir skalitz, no sé exactamente por qué, pero lo es ...
¡Y skalitz y Rattay comparten el mismo sistema de justicia, por lo que cualquier crimen que cometas en skalitz te cobrará en Rattay!
¡Es bastante injusto!
Pero de todos modos, me alegra que hayas disfrutado el video
:D
This game is so buggy. I just lost 6 hours of progress bc I dropped gear and it glitched in the air landing on my head, preventing me from moving or jumping and couldn’t be picked back up again permanently trapping me there and when I paused the game I couldn’t move in the menu or unpause pausing me to quit the game and lose all my progress.
The way to deal with this, is to try and fast travel. It sucks but, sometimes that works for me.
The other way, is to go into inventory and drink a save potion then reload the game and hope it drops you out somewhere else.
Typically when things land on you, when you save and reload, it will put you on top of the item to prevent you from being "stuck" anymore.
Sorry to hear about the lost of progress. Do check the old logs maybe there is something closer.
Typically I try to drop a save every hour if possible because this game can either cause me break Henry's ankles in the middle of nowhere or bug makes me go crazy.
I love these KCD vids :)
I am glad there are so many KCD fans. :) I will have more coming out. I just need a batch of free time to make the next one :)
@@helicalgoose Subbed and notifications set! Looking forward to new vids :)
Man why do u have not more subs u are great
Aww thanks :)
I think I just need to expand out to other games. Someday I will, but right now just enjoying messing around with KCD and learning how to become a better video editor :)
Ive watched 5 vids from you and you sounded like a different person every single time
Haha, well yes there is an explanation for this.
These earlier videos I was using a really cruddy mic (Headset mic) and I was trying to do some audio improvements and testing them out on these videos.
The newer videos I bought a new mic and it sounds far better than anything else and no need to really play with the audio :P
I found a weird trick. If you’re way over encumbered and standing as close to the cow as you can be, you can stab it without it running away. It doesn’t work with punching though
I will have to try that out sometime :)
Wished it worked with punching though, but if the cows do not move then that helps out a bit.
You can also create a user.cfg and put the cursor command in that using a text editor so you don't have to type it every time you launch the game.
That is a pretty good idea. :)
Ah Skalitz, the town of bandits that you can loot after killing them on horseback.
The real value of Skalitz was not the silver, but all the free armor that drops when you stop on by. Inflation of used armor goods must of been terrible in Bohemia at the time.
With the guy stacking hay, i've actually killed him by knocking him out a lot of times. You can farm the money for a while though after several hours of knocking various people around town out over and over the guy stacking hay does die from being knocked out. I didn't notice until the guards yelled there's a corpse. but I definitely just knocked him out. I tend to get my stealth up to around 16 and lockpicking up around there as well. once you reach lvl 15 with lockpicking you can pick every lock in skallits including the house doors across from the inn, which I believe is the bailiffs house.
You bring up something that is really strange in Skalitz area about knocking people out and just killing them.
I have seen this on a bunch of villagers too. I thought it was just because I knocking them out in their beds was the issue, but it happens all around.
The animation makes this strange knock out where Henry just does an extra "bump" movement then the person is dead, like wtf! I needed them to train my stealth on!
This is the only location I know that does this, and no idea why it happens. Maybe it was put in to prevent people from building up their stealth to max here? Hard to say.
Ah and the other house is the bailiff's house! I killed him before but he does not drop a key.
I am guessing there is nothing special in there? I was going to try to beef jump into that place but have not gotten around to it.
@@helicalgoose you can pick the locks once your lock picking is at lvl 15 or 16. There's just two chests in there with maybe 30-40 grochen or so.
@@helicalgoose I believe the door at the bottom of the stairs has a stores chest in it.
Ah thanks for the information.
I won't try to force my way in there lol.
I did get into a roof of one of the buildings with a bed that you can't access any ways, like why was it there.
But it did not have anything cool in there :(
Now the audio is great!
I am glad it sounds better :) Hopefully I will continue to make it better as I learn how to position and use this mic properly.
Excellent content, I've been enjoying your videos a lot. Subbed.
Thanks. I will try to keep putting out more episodes sort of like this once I get some more free time :) I got more ideas already in the slot just need more time to make it :)
Great content, nice new mic too!
Thanks. I am glad the mic is making the difference in people's ears :)
Hey new microphone
It finally came in horray! *confetti everywhere*
Oh man awesome to know I can get a crosshair, Ive watched quite a few videos on tips and no-one mentioned that.
Ah there are a ton of tips that tend not to get repeated because many people make the assumptions that everyone knows about it.
But then people forget that new people are starting to give KCD a try again and those tips are long gone.
Also there are a ton of things in KCD that can be done which makes the game pretty good ":)
it's crazy how easy it is to kill henry
I put a tiny little sticker on my monitor for my cursor since i play console haha
New sub, love your videos btw
Ah, glad you're enjoying the videos. Hopefully my voice change from the mic is not too jarring ;)
And the little sticker technique works 100% The main problem is remembering to take it off after quitting the game.
Ive come to realise the vast majority of my time across numerous save files is spent dicking about in Skalitz. Bring on Kingdom Come 2's tutorial level.
I think just messing around this area is unique and brings on a small challenge to see how badly you can mess with this game :P
But I still can not pin point why destroying skalitz is more fun than destroying anything other town in Kingdom Come.
And I really do hope Kingdom Come 2 has a tutorial area that we can just mess up as well :P
@@helicalgoose What makes it so special is the juxtapose of how worthless, hopeless and thankless Henry should be in the opening act of the game to how strong he can be, and all it takes is a little know how.
It helps massively that this game is a proper RPG that may not be as robust as the old, purely text based RPG's but stands on its own as a fully voice acted RPG, so actions have consequences... That is apart from in Skalitz. Skalitz is like a lucid dream, every other town you pillage feels like it has meaningful consequence and things can get messy and out of control down the line.
Skalitz is it's own little game, the whole point up until handing Theresa the nails is basically a character creation. Will I be champion warrior, a honed wordsmith, a master thief or just a cow puncher? The choice is yours.
Well said! :)
The RP element of the game is very refreshing compared to other open world RPGs.
This one sort of tries to get you to play along being a role playing game. Rather other games expect you to act like an idiot like me and have a story sort of to keep you progressing down their own gameplay line.
i was able to knockout a heavily armored guard over near the gate in the middle of town first try
Huh, maybe there is something to it. I continuously got unlucky with them and maybe wrongly assume that you need higher strength. Well free heavy armor on first guy, boom that is good news :)
@@helicalgoose yeah it was a total fluke, i had just saved and then turned around and accidently tried to take down the guard and it worked. He had a ton of armor and weapons so i was overencumbered and had to drop a bunch of loot in a near by empty shed. I died tho and had to try it like 6 times before it worked again.
Do you know if they ever patched getting endgame chest loot in the beginning of the game??
Hmm, I am not familiar with the chest.
I know there is a chest in Talmberg you can get some decent armor by just knocking out a peasant.
If you can elaborate a bit I can try to answer that :D
Your mic is so much better!
The new mic has arrived! Horray!
Another, a bit more peaceful way. Farm 200 Groschen, then punch isolated guards, run even further away, surrender, pay yourself free, wait, till the guard goes back towards his positon, sneak up on him and knock him out. Steal your Groschen and all his gear.
That works out pretty well with the guard that I knock out earlier in the run. The problem is that you have to lead them away otherwise other peasants will start calling other guards over and they will come with swords drawn O.o
So that works, but it can be problematic.
@@helicalgoose try it with the one at the southern, later blocked gate. I couldnt knock him out otherwise, because he keeps his back at the wall.
Also, i tried this and when i saved n reloaded after beating on the 3 guys, it loads in and they are running but my friends just stand still not progressing the quest any further
If you're talking about the Deutsche quest beating those people up, it sort of "breaks" when you reload.
Aside from them being invulnerable, your teammates become inactive and just sit around. The downside is that you now can not get the lockpick. But you can still get out of Skaltiz without completing this quest.
@@helicalgoose If this doesn’t break my game when I save and reload you can talk to fritez before y’all go mud the house
You should make a walkthrough of this game. I would watch every episode
I might do a little walkthrough.
But then again I sort am, just with bugs :P
The main thing is that I want it to be entertaining a bit to watch and something new for people to see. I feel like there have been plenty of play throughs of these.
Maybe do smaller videos released more often of specific hard to do missions? I will have to think of this.
@@helicalgoose It would be entertaining to see you play the game and give us some tips, find op items and show more ways to play the game
@@maplesyrup8070 Yah that might not be a bad idea overall :)
I was thinking maybe after the bugs, I would do something like how do stats, reputations, and the basic things work out.
Then I might try to do a bull run of the hardcore mode with all negative traits.
I never played it before, so that might be the time to explain a walkthrough plus find all the best items with lower risks :P
is there any way to kill johannka then grind and still have the game working complteely f9 ? (saving issues)
i used this glitch and lvled up and killed all the guards though after my 1 save , the game started crashing
I have heard that there is a bug for that crashing the game.
Are you on PS4 or Xbox by chance?
On PC I am able to get around it quite easily by ending combat by "surrendering" or paying money to a guard, but other than that I thankfully never had to deal with a bug crash like that.
Maybe what you can try is ending combat and seeing if afterwards you move to get out of the tutorial area and escape Skaltiz that the file sort of "re-adjusts" itself back to a usable state.
The game get fussy when we mess with it too much :P
Spent like three hours trying to do this, I only choked the bow guy five times, beat him up twice using the small hill by him. I don’t even know how to do the cow glitch and I’m almost never high enough level to actually use the bow, in strength or agility, anybody got any tips or info?
Sure, what part are you having trouble on?
The guard knocking out is a % chance roll and at these lower levels you're more likely to get caught.
The thing I liked to do is stealth take downs of all the villagers that walk on the outside of the village to gain a bit of stats for stealth before I try the guards. Also I build up a bit of strength with the cows.
It will take a bit of stabbing and skill gain to level up strength maybe 20-30 mins of work, but you should be able to use the bow after that, not unless the guard drops a really good bow that requires level 10 str.
But yah if you need more help just ask and I can help out if you need.
haha yes new kcd vid :D nice. Lmao jump on stuff and shoot people was my go to tactic when i was still a noob in kcd when it came out.
I am surprised that the jump on things tactics still works. I thought it would be fixed over time. Oh well it is still quite a bit of fun to do it.
Wow didn't know about the exploit bug will try it out.
There are a lot of the bugs around, it is sort of amazing how many are out there. :)
But as I said before, this does add a good charm to the game ;)
Good way to start the day, b4 work!
Start the day when some coffee and a bowl full of exploits :P
Finishing the video right now with a Bowl of something else hahah
i’m just knowing he from tennessee
lol, no my good sir I am not :/
Great place to visit, wouldn't mind going back sometime, but I did not grow up there.
I am quite hungry...FOR MURDER
Henry has a beef with Skalitz! But his hungry can only be cured one way!
hey idk if u already know this or not, but the towns people and guards, and sheep will respawn after and hour of real world time.
i had all the guards killed for a while and i was walking around picking herbs and all of a sudden a fucking guard appears and kills me out of nowhere. i found out that they will respawn over and over so you can keep using them to build your skills. Also theres a rock against the wall you can stand on to where the cuman cant hit you and you can kill him, but you gotta hurry cause theres two more cumans coming.
horses are dead forever tho
Hmm I am not certain if this is true in Skaltiz. I killed a few villagers and guards long long ago like first hour in the game to max out the guy and they stayed dead. I think in Skalitz time if frozen, and since time does not progress, the people do not come back.
It is true once you get out of the tutorial area that time passes and guards and villagers do come back.
Then again I was only in the Skalitz for about 10 hours and maybe needed more.
The rock thing is true and too easy to do. :")
@@helicalgoose nah im talking about in skallitz , i killed the entire village except henrys friends, parents, and kunesh and after a couple hours they would respawn. The crossguard for radzig sword, i had 3 of them becasue i stayed there and the guard respawned. All the villagers hated me tho once they respawned and would run when they saw me.
@@helicalgoose also i relized once i left skallitz my hud is glitched and doesnt show, nor the little symbol when fighting....idky but i assumed it was just like that in the beginning but nah im in talmberg now and its still gone.
it was a mod that removed my hud
Love your content
Thanks. I am glad other people still enjoy KCD :)
Have you noticed that your first kingdom come deliverance video has more views than most of Sexy Biscuit or Dare To Game videos?
Technically, it is not my first KCD videos. I did do a small play through long time ago. But don't look them *Hides the videos to hide away the shoddy work* Also SB and DtGV both do a great job with their videos. It is sort of a relief to myself to know that I match or tops some of their videos, it is letting me know that I am doing something right in making these videos. But I do hope they top that video because they are fantastic at what they do :)
Damn, I want waffles now.
Oh yah! The Waffle house lol. I completely forgotten about that, but now I want some waffles too!
Sadly there is not a single Waffle House near me for about 2k miles.
If you knock someone out and throw them in a barrel or water or the river do they die?
If you stick people in a barrel and have their legs do the crazy fold up thing, they just get back up like some crazy yoga stuff.
Now if you toss them into a deep river in my attempts they do not die but sort of get stuck. Eventually they get themselves free from the hole, but I do not think they die.
I am not certain if I did not have them deep enough in the water or not, but their heads were mostly underwater.
Hello, how come you have a point of aim with the bow? I don't have it there.
Yup, the way to get that dot to stay put is if you have PC, it only works on that.
But what you need to do is open up the console command line, then type
wh_pl_showfirecursor 1
Then put away and pull out your bow again. After this, the dot will stick around, until you restart you game.
Best of luck and enjoy! :D
Ou THX @@helicalgoose
Nice improvement in mic quality but you should fix the background wind-like noise and it should sound perfect!
Thanks, I am glad you said something about that. That is probably from the fans of my computer. I heard them too during editing and was trying to figure out if it was the mic or the fans. I will have to do some noise cancellation sort of deal if possible to remove that.
Nice, i learned something.
Every time I make a video about KCD I learn something new too.
I almost have 500 hours in the game and I am still surprised by some things...
but I am also surprised that I have 500 hours in KCD O.o
@@helicalgoose I have over 100 hours of KCD-LP because i cant run it on my good for nothing laptop... RIP me.
How did you use your bow there? I could not use it in the prologue. Wether right nor left click did anything.
Yah this only works on PC, but if you open up the console commands and type in
wh_pl_showfirecursor 1 then equip your bow the little dot will stay up :)
5:15 this isn’t even true anyways real life bows are easier aim than in the game lmao without a cursor
I guess so, I have not fired a bow in real life in like 10 years. It has been quite awhile.
But the bows in this game are OP, once you have skill of 5 and above. I try to limit myself sometimes to avoid cheesing the game too much :P
I really wish that dot thing worked on Xbox because I’ve played the game a hundred times and beating Hans at archery is easy enough but everything else like hunting is….ugh
100% agreed.
If they ever make KCD I would really like them to at least give the option to put on the little dot. Like have it off by default if you want, but please...I don't need to come home from work and want to blow off steam with a game and figure out which way drunk hunting Henry is going to shoot his arrow.
Its really not that bad with practice, but that only comes after 20+ hours of messing with the bow.
I have a silly question, I have seen you break skalitz over your knee 10 or more times. I am wondering; however, is there a way to train in Skalitz without losing reputation? I have played 95 hours on KCD, and 92 of those were spent in Skalitz, and I keep messing up and either being thrown in jail after 7 hours of not saving, or I am just not satisfied with my stats or reputation.
Is there a way to sate my endlees need for the approval of NPCs while simultaneously gaining skills and experience.
Well the only way I can see that happening is punching cows and not getting caught. Which will be tough because of the villagers going around the side of the village, and if you do not kill them, they sort of cause problems.
And the other ways to get exp usually takes punch someone or beating them up which drops the reputation.
I know with Theresa's DLC you can train her up in Skalitz without losing a single point in reputation and that includes archery.
Without losing rep you would have to go to Rattay and be free in the open world, Skalitz I do not think its possible without being more than extortionately careful. It is almost better to take the reputation hit and then just make all the Skalitz refugees happy by doing those quests all around which will get you back to 100 or close.
@@helicalgoose Thank you for helping me with this, it has been bugging me for a long time.
Time to pick every flower in Skalitz again 😔
@@lordbread8102 gambling helps u earn reputation , sometimes i just murder few people out and then gamble few rounds to just wait for a npc to report a murder to guards
How do you continue once you've maxed out your stats?
You just need to complete the quest from your father. I do not think there is a way to fail, unless you kill the guards by the gate and you do not loot the crossguard you need for making the sword before the body disappears. That is a way to break the game right there ;)
@@helicalgoose nah won't let me talk to father or any 1 after the fight starts
@@joshuamcanally5397 Really? That is an odd one. You might have to reload from an earlier save, which hopefully you do have one.
The other thing is to give him time to calm down. If your father is in a panic about bodies they usually wear themselves out after about 10 minutes because they can't find a guard. Then you should be able to talk to him.
If there are more bodies around when he gets tuckered out then he restarts the process which could be happening. The NPCs report one body at a time and run around like crazy. Then the next. From what I can tell they never get freaked out by the same body, so eventually he should calm down for you to talk to him :)
blud got a voice glow up
no more xbox 360 youtuber showing something cool vibe
edit: this feels like a soft reboot imo
Haha, I think this video got made right after the other one did quite well and I tried fixing some editing problems, so I could see where it seems sort of "not showing something cool vibe"
The other videos like "Beef jumping" or escaping skalitz is more original and showing something cool. But, I do miss that voice that you might be talking about, like holy smokes check this out, because I was not shocked myself but rather planning out earlier how to do something.
Sort of a problem, unless I just did a straight streaming which can be boring if there is lots of dead time, especially with this game.
thanks to your video I up the agility and kill everyone with the dagger
I feel like everyone who plays this game, loves to go out and start the stabbing everybody with a dagger ;)
If you kill Johanka does she still show up in Sasau in the monastery?
I believe so :(
I am 99% certain that she does.
I mean if Bernard and his wife come back to life she is back too and I think I have seen her before just not in recordings.
Did you test it?
What patch is this KCD? I don't think this is the latest patch. I bought KCD from GoG a long time ago, patch it to latest version, and I know that Skalitz guard is not to be trifled...and definitely not just surrender after you shot him one time.
Furthermore, those straw hat dude in the beginning...I remember vividly that I must dispose his body (killed him that day) behind the stables because your mother patrolling in and out of those castle gate (she just refilling her family bucket of water from nearby well...).
This should be the latest patch, well time of posting the video. I have the steam version and it auto-updates. Yah the straw hat guy is not a big deal. If they find the body but not find you when they find it immediately then everyone just goes oh well, dead guy.
The one shot to the guard was surprising to me too. It was a head shot, so maybe? Hard to say. The damage on weapons goes on a range, I probably got very lucky on that and got him down on health.
@@helicalgoose In KCD luck is definitely something... I got saved once near ruined Skalitz (vs high level bandit) by patrol...Idk how, they just start beating each other while I run..and run until ran out of stamina...
Starting out playing KCD, running into those high level bandits with plate armor is terrifying. The only thing you can do is just run. What I am thankful for, is that bandits do not (or not often) high level archers. If you get dinged by some of those arrows your poor horse or yourself will go down really fast.
If you kill jonkah and then raise up your skills against the thugs how do you finish the quest?
The best way is to have 200 groschen handy (by selling beef) and then you punch a guard and surrender to them right away.
They will ask for 200 groschen to pay off the fine and then the quest will be over and you can continue on :D
Otherwise, if you get caught by a guard it could be problematic without the 200 groschen you basically get a game over :/
@@helicalgoose Thanks! Now I need to get a mod for saves cause I despise the built in save mechanic of drinking those potions.
@@Joe_Friday Ah, if you're playing on normal mode, they put in an auto-save at the start and end of every quest that does help out.
The save potion is a bit a nuisance, but honestly after awhile I hardly notice it.
Mostly because I steal every potion I could ever use, but that is beside the point :P
In the future if they make another game it should be one of those optional things to have in the game, or either a hardcore mode only thing.
But at the start the groschen is low and 200 seems a bit to save, but that does go away after awhile ;)
is this version 1.9.6?
Yup, this is still the up to date steam version at least. Console versions has a slight difference, no idea why :/
Is this even the same person!?
Yup, this is the magic of a new mic :)
@@helicalgoose I'm thinking of an upgrade myself, what mic did you get? I have a BM-800
Right through her ear
I don't think she heard that coming...
@@helicalgoose wow one of my favorite TH-camrs replied to me
Secretly has the same mic just hit puberty late
With the new deep voice comes a big bushy beard just out of nowhere!
so after doing this exploits , you can't get the lockpicks ?
I do not think so, not for Skalitz at least. But I would not worry about that since you can buy lockpicks at Talmberg easily, or with all the armor you have already leave Talmberg almost immediately.
Does this still work and does it affect any of the quests after the prologue?
This still works for PC nothing has really changed in the time frame.
The only thing that it screws with is your reputation with Skalitz and Rattay. Also you will be charged with murder too most likely, meaning you will have to stay in jail for ten days or either wipe out all of Rattay to show them who is boss :P
And I could've sworn I replied to you before, but I feel like youtube comments section is being strange. A few people it says I have not replied to, but hope this finds you well :D
Turtorial: How to be a psychopath xD
I just like to get people warmed up to playing KCD the correct way ;)
Nyooooom~~~~~~~ just passing by
*zooooooom!*
This does not work on console but if you need to turn the dot on, you need to pull out the console...lol
You can turn on the dot with a console command. I believe it is: wh_pl_showfirecursor 1
Sorry! I did not know he actually showed you how to do it in the video.
@@king_zapp Don’t mind me. I’m just toying with puns.
Yes, it is not confusing at all. lol I will have to think about choosing my words a bit more carefully to be less confusing.
Make that "Subscribe to my channel..." thing at the start of your videos. It really helps to boost numbers up
I might later on, because you're correct. That has been shown to work really well, but I know it sort of annoys people. But right now I think I need to increase the quality of my videos before I start doing that :)
If anyone is reading this im pretty sure the gaurds are impossible to choke so don't waste your time with this 👍
Hmm, last time I check (today actually) by steam current patch it still is possible.
I have had really good luck where I choked out guards 5 out of 5 times and really bad luck where I get caught 5 out of 5 times.
It is a luck of the draw sort of thing. I have not been able to figure out how to make it better other than grinding stealth like a madman.
But I want my bow and armor now sort of deal.
I would say keep trying, but it can be frustrating to have to scum save a bunch.
@@helicalgoose yeah? Cheers buddy Well I wounder if it depends on the weopon the person is holding? I dunno but I've got lvl 3 strength and not sure bout stealth but maybe I just try and if fail reload and so on and so forth oh and I'm on ps4 btw
Yah it is a tough one to determine.
I seem to have better luck on lightly armored people, my guess their strength is lower which might be helping(?)
I know that higher stealth does make stealth choke outs easier. Which you can grind against the villagers, but it is so god awful boring.
I do not know what would be better, the grind or the fail reloads.
And the PS4 version I wish I knew more about.
The consoles version is quite seems quite a bit tougher in every aspect. I do not know if they constantly update that version, so there might be some old bugs that still work on that but other things may not work that I am doing on the current PC version :(
@@helicalgoose I guess I'm just gonna have to grind the stealth on the villagers and go from there there's only one lightly armoured gaurd if I remember rightly eurgh im sure it did use to be alot easier along time ago, oh well we shall see
Does killing Johanka affect her DLC story?
I am not entirely certain. I know that killing most of the Skalitz people did not matter since they came back to life in Rattay at least. I shall see sooner or later :)
Helical thanks for the reply, it’s awesome to see people still playing this game in 2021. I’ve been wanting to start a new campaign for like the 1000th time. I shall be watching your vids with great interest as to what I may not already know. 👍
It has been surprising that I have been learning new stuff to this game, even though I have torn it to pieces quite a bit. :)
Lol I just put some blu tac on my screen I'm on console
You know, that is probably the best advice for console users for the dot.
Honestly, I wish to the devs would just put it as a menu option in the game.
You want the dot, boom here, or at least give it to people in normal, but not hardcore.
You killed Zbyshekk in your previous video. Can you kill him before the fight? Those 2 guards standing at the castle normally apear later at Ratay castle. Will they appear there even if you killed them in Skalitz? One of those guys also is in a cutscene at the end of the game so if hes dead that would be interesing
I believe he is immortal. Last time when I killed Zbyshek, it was after I did the little tavern quest. Until that tavern quest is complete those three guys have an immortal tag, which is useful for practicing on.
And thanks for the tip on the castle guards. You know I killed them and went to Rattay and did not see them guarding the stairs like they normally do. However, other people in Skalitz get respawned back and I do not know why. I will take a look see what is up. I have not completed the game with maxed out Henry, sort of been trying out other exploits in the game. Skailtz had more fun in it before I could work on other exploits.
Sounds good
Wow you must drink a lot of Yorkshire Tea...(yeah it’s pretty obvious)
I wish! That darn Spiff hoards all the tea for himself. Said something along the lines that he can't trust Americans with good tea anymore after a specific incident long ago.
Haha, "...burned down scallops"? Is this a cooking show?
The best sort of cooking show!
We cook all the villagers! :D
I feel like I'm that guy @ 1:00
I think that is how everyone feels when Monday rolls around and gives us a nice hug around our necks >.
The loading screens in this game are way too fucking long
Big time. But I do have to say, recently I obtain much better hardware and the load times really fly by which makes the game way more enjoyable.
I am not certain if this game was advance for its time, or that it was poorly optimized. Probably the later, but if you do get a chance to play this on PS5 or PC with a good graphics card, this becomes a non issue :)
@@helicalgoose hopefully such a thing will become possible in the future.
