Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for Brutal Melee Combat Domination
Early Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 melee combat can be challenging. However, mastering the Master Strike significantly simplifies things. This guide details how to learn and utilize this powerful technique.
Learning the Master Strike
The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the tutorial, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.
Tomcat resides in the Nomads' Camp, near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Complete "Combat Training I," then save your game before engaging in the significantly harder "Combat Training II." Defeating Tomcat in this second training session unlocks the Master Strike. Consider improving your Strength stat before attempting this challenging fight; failure can leave Henry severely injured.
Utilizing the Master Strike
The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. During a fight, observe your opponent's weapon stance. Position your sword opposite their attack direction (e.g., if they attack from the left, hold your sword to the right).
As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will appear centrally on the screen. Immediately press the attack button to execute the Master Strike, parrying their attack and countering with an unblockable strike. Precise timing and correct sword positioning are crucial.
Game-Changing Technique
The Master Strike is incredibly effective, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat encounters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
