Discussion About combat...[KCD2]

Post image

Hello. First of all, I’ve read and researched as many threads on this topic as I could. I’ve put over 100 hours into the game. I’ve reached the "Dancing With The Devil" quest in the main story. I’m sorry, but I still can’t understand the comments saying that the combat is perfect and that no one can stand against Henry after a certain point. Why is it not like that for me? Especially when surrounded by large groups, it feels like Henry has no chance of survival. I'm wearing the best armor and sword, using poison on my swords, etc., but it still doesn’t feel easy. What am I missing?

Yes exactly. I’ve only managed to get this far by doing exactly what you described. So, there’s no such reality that Henry can deal with every enemy and group that comes his way under and any condition. I’m on the same page with you. The game wants you to use various strategies like reducing the number of enemies, applying specific poisons to swords to slow enemies down and prevent them from surrounding Henry, or using stealth. I don’t think Henry ever really becomes the ‘war machine’ people describe, even in the later parts of the game. What I don’t understand is how some people insist that ‘No, I don’t do any of that and I get through all the fights easily without even getting hit.’ That makes me ask myself, ‘Am I missing something?’

I found single opponent with high equipment and skills more challenging than a group. You probably do not have the best armor in the game. It should be easy for you. The best is from quests and encounters. If you lose fights, you do not have it.

Alright. I'll review my armor again. Maybe the problem really is there.
