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 can significantly simplify even the most challenging encounters, especially early in the game. Here's how to unlock and utilize this game-changing technique.

Unlocking the Master Strike:

The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the initial 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 (situated near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Complete "Combat Training I," a relatively straightforward task. Then, save your game! Initiate "Combat Training II," a considerably more difficult challenge.

Victory over Tomcat in "Combat Training II" is crucial. This requires a sword fight. While attempting this early is possible, boosting your Strength stat beforehand is highly recommended. Failure results in significant setbacks for Henry, hence the importance of saving your progress before each attempt. Success unlocks the Master Strike.

Utilizing the Master Strike:

The Master Strike is exclusive to sword combat. 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 the screen. Immediately press the attack button to execute the Master Strike. This flawlessly parries the incoming attack and delivers an unstoppable counter-attack. Timing is key – ensure your sword is positioned correctly before initiating the attack.

The Master Strike is a game-changer in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, significantly reducing the difficulty of most combat scenarios.
