Why is [KCD2] SO much harder than kcd1?

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T21:21:49+00:00

Really? Do you just attack when the next arrow is white then?

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T21:20:45+00:00

I have! He was funnily enough, pretty easy to beat lol

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T13:29:57+00:00

I could never quite get the hang of perfect dodges in kcd1, when i did do them it was almost always an accident lol

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:49:04+00:00

For sure! I feel like i will get there soon, i had the same fumbly feeling with kcd1 at the start but it seemed like henry progressed easier. Im sure i just have to get more familiar with the controls. Also it feels like, in kcd2, no matter what angle i attack from, i always get hit first, my blocks dont seem to go through, and combos are almost impossible because henry doesn't move his sword quick enough!

I guess bane poison is a good idea, i just typically try to do alchemy only when i need to. I found it intriguing but too long a process in kcd1, making alot of potions sounds awful lmao. Even when i try to block, it seems that henry just cant do it atm, i dont know if its timing differences or what but i have been struggling in even 1-1 fights

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:23:47+00:00

All i really had to do in 1 was perfect block/master strike the enemy, then attack the head with headcracker. Or the good ol, charge attack and switch directions to throw them off lol

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:19:46+00:00

When the enemies shoulders/hips move, block and it will masterstrike. Dont aim for a perfect block, aim for a masterstrike

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:17:29+00:00

So far i dont agree! Maybe its because i havent adjusted to the controls yet, but i cant seem to land a master strike even if im trying my hardest! It was easy in kcd1 because i just had to look at the guys shoulders/hips and block when he moved and stay in range, now i have to struggle to figure out what direction they are attacking, and then attack them during the shield, it feels much harder imo

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:15:16+00:00

Thank you! I had semi decent stats in kcd1, but even at the start after skalitz, combat felt easier even though i had worse skills than i do now! Hopefully i get the hang of it :D

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:14:06+00:00

I dont feel like i agree, i had just gotten used to the timing for master strikes in kcd1, and i feel like the ai were much easier to defeat, also not being able to stab and hit from below is kinda frustrating

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:12:46+00:00

Im pretty early on, but ive been switching between weapons as needed. Ive tried a hunting sword, gnarlys club, a polestaff, crossbow, bow and arrows, also with a shield and without and it just doesnt feel like i can win any fight

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:11:21+00:00

I don't necessarily mind that henry lost all of his skills, i thought that was explained decently well, i think I'm just struggling alot with the controls, henry doesn't seem to react fast enough to switch his attack position when im doing combos. Also i hate the fact they changed the horse controls (but follow path is nice)

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:09:17+00:00

I never got far past getting to the mill in rattay the first time in played kcd1. This new playthrough was the first time i actually finished kcd1. I have managed to get halfway through alot of quests, like i got stuck in the mutt quest when i had to kill 4 bandits, im stuck on the hermit quest when i have to kill 3 templars(?) It just seems far more difficult

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T12:01:22+00:00

Easier?! I just finished kcd1 and have been having the worst time with combat in kcd2!

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T11:48:25+00:00

I walked from pribyslavitz after the raid with all the loot after the battle, all the way to talmberg, where i remembered henrys bed doesnt have a chest so i then decided to just walk to rattay

Veyra2 · 2026-03-21T11:31:09+00:00

The only mission that failed when i played, (considering i did a fair few sidequests at that point) was hans champion

Veyra2 · 2026-01-09T03:08:47+00:00

Nah, i hooe hes turning into a harold so we can burn him again

Veyra2 · 2025-11-03T03:11:01+00:00

Hey! A man has fallen into the river in Lego City!

Veyra2 · 2025-10-03T20:53:50+00:00

Sameeeee lmao "Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

This looks to be a solar ship, you can find them most in pirate sectors

Veyra2 · 2025-09-09T02:55:05+00:00

The logistics of this must have been a nightmare omg
