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

Before unlocking the Master Strike, you must complete a questline. After 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 attempting "Combat Training II," a considerably harder challenge. Victory over Tomcat in "Combat Training II" rewards you with the Master Strike. It's advisable to improve your Strength stat beforehand to increase your chances of success. Saving before each attempt is crucial to avoid dire consequences from failure.

Utilizing the Master Strike

The Master Strike is exclusively for sword combat. 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 the attack button at this precise moment to execute the Master Strike, parrying the attack and countering with an unblockable move. Timing and correct weapon positioning are key.

Master Strike's Impact

The Master Strike is incredibly powerful, significantly simplifying many combat encounters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
