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 significantly simplifies even the toughest early-game encounters. Here's how to unlock and utilize it:

Unlocking the Master Strike:

The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the initial tutorial, locate Bara, a beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.

Find Tomcat at the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Completing "Combat Training I" is straightforward. However, "Combat Training II" presents a more challenging sword fight. Save your game before attempting this! Defeating Tomcat in this duel unlocks the Master Strike. Consider boosting your Strength stat beforehand to increase your chances of success.

Utilizing 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 centrally on the screen. Immediately press your attack button. Timing is crucial; the attack must be executed while your sword is positioned opposite your opponent's. Successfully timed, Henry will parry the attack and deliver an unblockable counter.

The Master Strike is a game-changer, making many combat encounters significantly easier.
