Learning the Master Strike in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

The Master Strike is an essential move that Henry must learn in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to enhance his combat skills. After completing the initial tutorial and gaining the ability to roam the open world, head to Troskowitz and speak with Bara the beggar. She will provide information about an NPC named Tomcat, which will unlock the Combat Training side quest.

You can locate Tomcat at the Nomads’ Camp, situated near the Cumans’ Camp and close to Bozhena’s Hut. Engage with him to initiate the Combat Training I quest, which is relatively straightforward to complete. Once done, save your game, then speak to Tomcat again to start Combat Training II, a more demanding challenge.

Successfully completing Combat Training II and defeating Tomcat in a swordfight is crucial for learning the Master Strike. It's advisable to attempt this quest after boosting your Strength stat, as early attempts might leave Henry in a precarious condition. Always save before each attempt to mitigate risks.

Upon defeating Tomcat in Combat Training II, Henry will unlock the Master Strike, ready to utilize it in battles.

How to Use Master Strike

The Master Strike is exclusively usable with swords and not applicable to other weapon types. During combat, observe the position of your opponent's weapon and position your sword in the opposite direction. For example, if your opponent attacks from the left, position your sword to the right.

As your opponent initiates their attack, a green shield icon will appear on the screen. At this moment, press the attack button, and Henry will execute the Master Strike. This move allows him to parry the incoming attack and immediately counter with an unblockable strike. Timing is crucial; ensure your sword is correctly positioned before pressing the attack button.

Mastering this move can significantly ease most combat encounters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, making it one of the most potent techniques in the game.
