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-changing technique.

Unlocking the Master Strike:

The Master Strike isn't immediately available. After completing the tutorial, locate Bara, the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll point you towards Tomcat, triggering the "Combat Training" side quest.

Find Tomcat at the Nomads' Camp (near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut). Complete "Combat Training I," then save your game before tackling the significantly harder "Combat Training II." Defeating Tomcat in this second training session unlocks the Master Strike. It's advisable to boost your Strength stat before attempting this challenging fight to avoid a potentially fatal defeat.

Master Strike Execution:

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

As your opponent strikes, a green shield icon will briefly appear. Press your attack button at this precise moment to execute the Master Strike. This parry-counter move is unblockable, offering a devastating advantage. Timing is crucial; ensure your sword is correctly positioned before initiating the attack.

Strategic Advantages:

The Master Strike is a game-changer, making many combat encounters significantly easier. Master this technique to dominate your foes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
