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 technique significantly simplifies even the toughest early-game encounters. Here's how to unlock and utilize this game-changer.

Unlocking the Master Strike

Before you can wield the Master Strike, you must first complete a training questline. After the tutorial, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll point you towards 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 tackling the significantly harder "Combat Training II." Victory over Tomcat in this second challenge unlocks the Master Strike. Consider boosting your Strength stat before attempting this fight to improve your chances of success. Saving beforehand is crucial, as failure can leave Henry severely injured.

Mastering 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 briefly appear. Press the attack button precisely when this icon shows to execute the Master Strike. This parry-and-counter move is unblockable. Remember, correct sword positioning is essential for successful execution.

Game-Changing Technique

The Master Strike is incredibly effective, making many combat scenarios significantly easier. Master this technique, and you'll conquer Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's challenges with newfound ease.
