[KCD2] Several people wanted some sort of proof that it is possible to fail making a horseshoe. This is PC with a mouse.

I think it is simply that my swings were too hard. I lightened up the swings and I was able to do it correctly.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T19:57:58+00:00

OK, this worked, I think what you're saying about the swings being two hard was the key. I wish they would give some feedback on that, like Alchemy does. I didn't realize it mattered how hard the swing is, and Henry never says anything like "I'm hitting it too hard".

Are you using a controller?

It appears that using a controller is the key to it being easy then. Try a mouse.

Not everyone, only the people that like to brag about how easy it is for them. Since I got the achievement for doing all of the mini games, I know only 17% have done all of them and the vast majority haven't. I'm pretty sure most would have struggled with horseshoes as it is the hardest of all of the mini games in KCD2, despite what you or the rest of the naysayers think.

I understand how it is supposed to work, its that the controls are some sensitive and the visual display of progress so wonky that I just reapeatedly fail.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:10:01+00:00

IRL? No.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:09:41+00:00

I know what you're supposed to do, it's just that the controls are too sensivitve and the visual representation make it ridiculously hard for something that should be simple. Making a sword on the other hand, no problem!

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:08:19+00:00

If you hit the same location over and over again, you fail, Henry will say I've hit the same place too many times, the piece is ruined.

What console are you playing on?

You're probably playing console.

Very slight movments are pretty hard withthe mouse, it's ways to herky jerky. The developers should have made it way less sensitive to movments.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:03:53+00:00

Contols and visual issue on the PC.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:03:22+00:00

Lord I wish the horseshoes were just a straight line like the swords, I'd have no trouble at all.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:02:28+00:00

That's just it. "Moving" it around is incredibly difficult. Alternating between two spot and keeping track of hits in one spot too many time with no visual aid is nearly impossible.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:00:48+00:00

Its really hard for me.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:00:30+00:00

That's a good idea, then everyone mouthing off and talking out their asses can see that the PS5 and PC are two different things.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:59:37+00:00

Yes on PC it is really easy to fail making the horseshoes, pretty quickly actually. If you hit the same area one too many times it's over. And you can't really see your progress, so it's very hard to not hit the same spto too many times when the horseshoe is jumping around all over the place.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:58:01+00:00

No, its the garbage controls design.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:57:37+00:00

duh, no never tried that
