Master Strike Unveiled in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

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 technique.

Learning the Master Strike

The Master Strike isn't available from the start. After completing the tutorial, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll point you towards Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.

Find Tomcat in the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Complete "Combat Training I," then save your game before attempting "Combat Training II," a considerably harder challenge. Defeating Tomcat in this second training session unlocks the Master Strike. While attempting early is possible, boosting your Strength stat beforehand is highly recommended. Failure results in significant injury, hence the importance of saving.

Utilizing the Master Strike

The Master Strike is exclusive to swords. During combat, 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 appears centrally on the screen. Immediately press your attack button to execute the Master Strike, parrying their attack and countering with an unblockable move. Timing and correct sword positioning are crucial.

Master Strike's Impact

The Master Strike is incredibly powerful, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat encounters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
