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

Master the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for effortless combat! This guide details how to unlock and utilize this powerful technique, significantly simplifying even the toughest encounters.

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 direct you to Tomcat, initiating 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. Consider boosting your Strength stat before attempting this challenging fight to improve your chances of success. Saving beforehand is crucial; failure can leave Henry severely injured.

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 attacks, a green shield icon will briefly appear centrally on the screen. Immediately press your attack button to execute the Master Strike. This perfectly parries the incoming attack and unleashes an unstoppable counter-attack. Timing is key; ensure your sword is correctly positioned before initiating the Master Strike.

This devastating move renders many combat encounters trivial, making it an invaluable asset in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
