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

Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This powerful move significantly simplifies even the toughest early-game encounters. Here's how to unlock and utilize this game-changer.

Unlocking the Master Strike:

The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the tutorial and gaining access to the open world, locate Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll point you towards Tomcat, initiating the "Combat Training" side quest.

Find Tomcat at the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Completing "Combat Training I" is relatively straightforward. However, "Combat Training II" presents a much more challenging sword fight. Save your game before attempting this! Victory over Tomcat in "Combat Training II" unlocks the Master Strike. Consider improving your Strength stat before tackling this tougher challenge to increase your chances of success.

Utilizing the Master Strike:

The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. During a fight, observe your opponent's weapon stance. Position your sword in the opposite direction; if they attack from the left, hold your sword to the right.

As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will appear centrally on your screen. Immediately press your attack button to execute the Master Strike. This perfectly parries the incoming attack and unleashes an unblockable counterattack. Timing is crucial – ensure your sword is correctly positioned before initiating the attack.

The Master Strike is a game-changer, making most combat encounters significantly easier. Master this technique, and conquer Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's challenges with newfound ease.
