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

Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This guide details how to unlock and utilize this powerful move, significantly simplifying even early-game encounters.

Unlocking the Master Strike:

The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the tutorial, locate Bara the 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). Complete "Combat Training I," then save your game before tackling the significantly harder "Combat Training II." Victory over Tomcat in this duel unlocks the Master Strike. Consider boosting your Strength stat beforehand to increase your chances of success; failure can leave Henry severely injured.

Master Strike Technique:

The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. Observe your opponent's weapon stance. Position your sword opposite their attack direction (e.g., if they attack from the left, hold your sword to the right).

As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will briefly appear onscreen. Immediately press your attack button to execute the Master Strike, parrying their attack and countering with an unstoppable blow. Precise timing and correct sword positioning are crucial.

This technique renders many combat scenarios trivial, making it a highly effective combat tool in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
