How to Get & Use Master Strike in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This powerful move can significantly simplify even the toughest early-game encounters. Here's how to unlock and utilize it:

Unlocking the Master Strike:

To learn the Master Strike, you'll need to complete a series of combat training quests. After the tutorial, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat in the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut).

Initiate the "Combat Training I" quest with Tomcat. This is relatively straightforward. After completion, save your game! Then, engage Tomcat for "Combat Training II," a considerably more challenging fight.

Victory in "Combat Training II" is key to learning the Master Strike. While attempting this early is possible, boosting your Strength stat beforehand is highly recommended. Failure can severely injure Henry, hence the importance of saving before each attempt.

Using the Master Strike:

The Master Strike is exclusive to sword 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 briefly appear centrally on the screen. Immediately press your attack button. Timing is crucial; you must press the attack button while your sword is positioned opposite your opponent's. Successfully executing this will parry their attack and unleash an unblockable counterattack.

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