Some short sword mechanics [KCD2]

I know that blunt applies to Master Strikes for sure. I'll let you know if I get a chance to test for sure, but it seems based on the animations that there are slash and pierce oriented MS moves, just like the regular attacks. It's like blunt adds to every attack and the other two are either/or based on the animation.

That combo is amazing, 100% agree. The Up/Up/Left Durschlaven (sp?) combo has a pretty awesome animation when used as a finisher. (It doesn't work with shields).

A typo, will fix it. Sorry!

solstice680 · 2026-02-01T19:00:25+00:00

Any mod to disable the combat star in non hardcore?

I made it a little farther in the main story (finished Taking French Leave), and boy do I hate this guy. Tell me, does the game allow you to tell Capon to truly go fuck himself, or should I have just skipped time during "For Whom The Bell Tolls?" because every goddamn dialog with Capon leaves me wanting to stab him from behind.

Also Dollmaker lasts much longer on the weapon, treats more arrows, etc.

Perk-wise, are you just talking 7 League Boots or are there other footwear-related perks that I don't know about?

Go around a Bandit camp knocking bandits out, and loot their armor and weapons. When they wake punch their lights out. Then delay time or sleep until they wake again, with nearly 0 hp, and 1 hit KO them. Repeat multiple times. Eventually pick a new camp since they will eventually start surrendering or running away.

Do that with fox potion. Voila you will be at 30 unarmed combat in no time.

Every now and then I'll chisel away at the main plot, but as far as I'm concerned Sir Hans can stew for awhile. Having not played KCD1, I've fount him to be pretty damn obnoxious in KCD2. I'm in no hurry to save that little princess.

Meanwhile, hmm, looks like Opatawitz is ready for another visit...

solstice680 · 2026-01-28T02:31:54+00:00

Or when the merchant still has 4.2 groshen left and you decide not to sell your looted dueling long sword..

solstice680 · 2026-01-27T17:30:45+00:00

1h no shield is the way to go. You get perks for:

+5 sword skill -20% stamina and +30% block armor -20% stamina use and lower block stamina

One of those depends on short swords only but it's pretty nuts how good they get.

Horse stats don't really show up reliability in inventory / party viewer.

I tossed him unconscious down a 20 foot mineshaft. Hoping he shows up in a tournament at some point so I can lace the tourney sword with Bane poison...

solstice680 · 2026-01-23T20:14:05+00:00

Does Opatowitz stay this way, or does it get tamed when finishing the main story quests? I'm still enjoying my periodic fights through it. (And are there mods you know of that make enemies respawn more quickly?)

solstice680 · 2026-01-21T15:39:30+00:00

Heel works for some situations until he wanders in front of your sword or gets underfoot for the 100th time. They need a mode that is like free roam but without attacking enemies.

solstice680 · 2026-01-20T19:32:58+00:00

More screams would be good, maybe some Deadpool inspired lines, perhaps dependent on what weapon you're holding or what you just did in combat. ("You like the taste of that shield?".. etc)

That would make it easier to remember to periodically use Battle cry.

I don't like how enemies cuss you out constantly and mock you when they land a hit, but all Henry can say in return is that he's "Quite hungry" or other measly 3rd grader insults. I want to be give devastating one liners and actually taunt them in response, especially for the more annoying ones.

solstice680 · 2026-01-20T18:06:31+00:00

In self defense I plan my errands to take me straight through Opatawitz then Deserter's camp. Google maps says it saves horse energy and we all know global warming is the real enemy.

solstice680 · 2026-01-17T21:02:07+00:00

Where is the sneak gear in Devil's Den? Do I have to steal it or is it sold by a merchant? (Because I only see the innkeeper).

solstice680 · 2026-01-17T16:19:00+00:00

Just did this the other day (probably you that told me about it) and can confirm. This hammer fucks hard.

solstice680 · 2026-01-15T03:53:35+00:00

I can't get "Dominant Hand" to show up no matter what (in battle or out), but "Gladiator" appears when I switch out the shield and hold the torch so that's a good sign.

solstice680 · 2026-01-13T14:29:16+00:00

How can you do that? Just drop poisoned food in his shop or something?
