Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for Brutal Efficiency
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 move.
Learning the Master Strike
The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the tutorial and gaining open-world access, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.
Find Tomcat at the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Complete "Combat Training I," then save your game before engaging in "Combat Training II," a considerably harder challenge. Defeating Tomcat in this second training session unlocks the Master Strike. Consider improving your Strength stat before attempting this fight to increase your chances of success. Saving beforehand is crucial, as failure leaves Henry significantly weakened.
Utilizing the Master Strike
The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. During a fight, observe your opponent's weapon stance. Position your sword in the opposite direction; 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. Press the attack button at this precise moment to execute the Master Strike, parrying the attack and countering with an unblockable strike. Accurate timing and correct sword positioning are essential.
Game-Changing Impact
The Master Strike is incredibly powerful, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat encounters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
This concludes the guide on obtaining and using the Master Strike. For further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips and strategies, including information on the Wandering Drunk and romance options, consult additional resources.
