Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for Brutal Efficiency

Early Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 melee combat can be unforgiving. 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 and gaining open-world access, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll point you towards Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.

Tomcat resides in the Nomads' Camp, near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Completing "Combat Training I" is straightforward. However, "Combat Training II" presents a tougher challenge. Saving your game before attempting this is strongly advised; failure can leave Henry severely weakened. Consider improving your Strength stat before tackling this quest.

Victory over Tomcat in "Combat Training II" unlocks the Master Strike.

Utilizing the Master Strike

The Master Strike is exclusive to swords.

During combat, 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 your attack button at this precise moment to execute the Master Strike, parrying the attack and countering with an unblockable move. Accurate timing and correct sword positioning are crucial.

Strategic Advantage

The Master Strike is a game-changer in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat encounters.
