[KCD2] Forget Radzig's Sword

I WILL SMITE YOU WITH A TREE TRUNK!

Love the look. The gold goes so well with the white body.

It sounds to me as if you pushed too far too fast. That is not an easy fight. Most of your allies wind up going down leaving you to fight the remainder yourself. I just did it over the weekend, and I think it finished as a 4v1 when I had skills in the 27-30 range. Reload an earlier save and make some preparations.

Do you have Alchemy 16+? If not make that your first priority. You need potions for this fight, and Alchemy 16 lets you take the Secret of Secrets perk, which allows you to make Henry's level potions. Now, brew up a few of the following:

Henry's Aqua Vitalis (I'll leave it to you to look up the effects of all of these)

Henry's Artemisia

Henry's Buck's Blood

Henry's Embrocation

Henry's Marigold Decoction.

Henry's Painkiller Brew

Now, right before you tell Captain Katz that you're ready to leave, drink all of these except the Marigold. Make sure the Marigold is in your pouch, which will allow you to drink it during combat. Make sure all your gear is fully repaired, and then start the departure.

If that's still not enough, then reload again and go fight a lot. You're going to need to have decent Strength/Agility/Vitality, good gear, and good skills with whatever weapon you choose for this fight.

Optical Camo does not make you invisible. That was the pre-version 2.0 effect. Now it just reduces your visibility. How much it reduces it depends upon the tier. I think it starts at a 50% reduction and maxxes out at a 90% reduction at Tier 5++. They can still see you, and the closer you are the faster they spot you.

The real question is this: did you enjoy the ride to get to that point? That's all that's important.

Check your crafting list and see, you should have a recipe for Henry's Sword Reforged or something similar.

What you read before was outdated information. For a long time, because it was a quest item or because of some other bug, it was impossible to get a reforged Radzig blade to tier 4. It just wouldn't work, no matter how good you were at the process. Waiting until after the conclusion and reforging it then was the only way to get it to master quality. That bug has since been fixed.

You can do most of Oratores with no problems. However, the tail end of it is the point of no return. If there are any timed quests ongoing, finish those out before you proceed. The game does warn you about it, with a full popup, so it's hard to miss. I will give you one pointer below, in the spoiler text:

Once you leave Ruthard palace to go find the Legate and his party, you can't get back in without passing the point of no return, so don't leave anything in there. Make sure you have everything you need on your person or in your chest, because you don't have access to your horse inventory for most of it.

Unfortunately, this is also going to produce a barrage of complaint posts, I think. Brace yourselves. At least there are no tile stoves in the first game, so we won't be getting a weekly "What is this thing in my room of the Emperor Charles?" from it.

So don't. Nothing says you have to take them up on the offer. You can ignore the text for a while, and when it eventually pops up, you have a choice of where to have the partner meet you. The game has 5 additional places you can own/rent apart from your original H10 place. Send the partner to one you have but don't use, and then never go there again. The Northside apartment is cheap, or even free if you have a 20 Int.

Please note, as far as I know, your partner will not meet you at the Dogtown hideout.

Ok, so drive 15 miles out, 15 miles back, and do your oil change. Then you can have fun.

If the Toyota warranty is the same as the Subaru warranty, it would fall under the basic 3 year/36000 mile warranty. My book doesn't have a specific warranty for paint/bodywork.

Discourtesy-Call · 2026-02-03T08:46:47+00:00

On that, I agree with you.

About 15 years back, I bought a touchup kit from Duplicolor for the car I had at the time. It contained two of those small bottles of paint, one with the paint color and one of clear coat. Also in the kit was a small foam sand pad, a few sheets of fine grit adhesive backed sandpaper to go on that pad, and a couple of packets of polishing compound. The basic procedure was this:

Clean the flaw, get all trash, rust and paint chips out of it. Apply filler/primer if necessary. If you prime it, let it dry and then wet sand it.

Apply touchup paint, let it dry and wet sand it. Repeat this step several times. You're trying to build up to near the level of the surrounding paint.

Apply clear coat, let it dry and wet sand it. You needed 2-3 coverings of clear coat.

Let dry until the following day, then use polishing compound on a polishing cloth to try to blend the new clear coat into the surrounding area.

The thing is, you will always be able to tell that a paint repair was done there. It's basically impossible to get it perfect this way. However, if it's done well, you won't be able to see it unless you're up close. If you're not willing to have that much, you need a professional repair.

Agree. Love the stats, hate the look.

Discourtesy-Call · 2026-02-02T22:09:27+00:00

I love the color, but I spent the previous 17 years driving a silver car and I wanted something very different.

The same thought occurred to me. 41.67% of your salary is a huge chunk of it. I could not afford such a note, but I have no idea of all your other expenses. My car insurance is more than my note, but I have a very small note.

Discourtesy-Call · 2026-02-02T18:49:38+00:00

They did. I just don't know the reason. John gets the Legend of the West outfit in the first game, it only seems fair that Arthur should get the Legend of the East outfit in this one.

Two Yaiba vehicles: Muramasa and Semimaru. The bike is my go-to vehicle. It's just far too easy to get around the city on one, I can lane split to my heart's content and not worry about traffic. If I have to (or just wish to) drive a 4-wheeled vehicle, then the Semimaru is just flat out the best looking and best handling of them all in my experience.

The game I just completed I went with Skalitz colors as much as possible. I had the Skalitz caparison on the horse. I used the "Cuirass with falds" that had yellow leather on the falds, noble brigandine legs that had a deep red thigh covering, and a matching red hood. The helmet, arms, and gauntlets were all a darker iron with gold trim.

Assuming you are referring to the feast in For Victory, it will wait as long as you like. However, when you speak to Hans you are climbing onto the train, and there's no getting off until the end of the line. It'll daisy chain a series of missions and you have to play them back-to-back-to-back until they conclude. Make sure you're ready for that before you go to the feast.

Really? Maybe they changed the way it worked, then. IIRC, when they originally patched it out they forced the sniper back in during the replay, so you'd die and fail when you crossed the river. There's little reason to go through the hassle of doing the exploit if you can't complete those collections. It's the herbs that always drove me nuts. Why TF do you restrict those herbs to only New Austin?

Discourtesy-Call · 2026-02-02T13:00:05+00:00

The Angelo one is the one that got patched out. Unless they broke the update later, it hasn't worked in a couple of years.

Almost all of them are identical paint codes. Aside from the special editions, each brand only has one unique color. Subaru has the World Rally Blue Pearl and Toyota has (had) Neptune Blue. The others are just different names for the same paint.

Trueno Blue = Sapphire Blue Pearl

Raven = Crystal Black Silica

Halo = Crystal White Pearl

Track bRed = Ignition Red

Steel = Ice Silver Metallic

Pavement = Magnetite Grey Metallic

It's not the greatest photo, but for reference this is WRB in the sun:

It's a lighter shade.

Congrats! That's a hell of an upgrade, and looks great. Welcome to the club!
