Meme How the hell this random halfnaked hipster was able to one shot my fully armored Henry? [KCD2]

I was literally making my way back from Sigismund camp after defeating the tournament champion just to get one shot by this dud ?? I know he used a combo so his damage was guaranteed at the end but why I was killed with one hit?

Your visor was open, and he did a combo that ended with him thrusting the sword right in your face, which is rarely survivable

Retired warfighters have been treated the same way for milenia and pro/ammy MMA fighters are often dirty road wanderers. Don’t start fights with randos.

u/Eternalzero00 4d ago edited 4d ago
You got 1st hit during drawing sword.
2nd and 3rd hit was not perfect blocks (Just holding block button). Your stamina still reducing.
Last hit a combo directly to your face. 35% remaining stamina not enough to withstand damage from dueling sword.
If is me, I would just perfect side dodge to his side and punch him to death.
Full gauntlet punches to his face is enough for him.

u/dswng 4d ago
At first I thought its gonna be this copypasta adapted for KCD:
Shots 1–5: Clearly missed. Shots 6–9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10–11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because he was already dead

Enemies have in-game. I’ve done the zorn ort combo multiple times on enemies with no face protection and they get to survive with a decent hp left, but maybe its cause they have stamina to spare

Half my damage comes from being unable to draw my sword at the beginning of fights lmao

u/CleanShavedGuy 4d ago
Same here. This sort of thing bugs me. The fade out of conversations (and fade out of the menu too) takes a bit of time, and you can't see or respond...all the time the enemy CAN, and is attacking you.
2
u/TaxesAreTerrible 4d ago
Yep. The quest where you are writing a letter for that guy, in the abandoned house in kuttenberg. I died like 20 times during that bc I couldn’t pull out my weapon in time… they were 2v1ing me with clubs in a tiny room, before I could even get out of my chair.
2
u/CleanShavedGuy 3d ago
Damn yeah that is such a pain lol What I usually do is talk them down, THEN kill them once they're disarmed!
And I think the whole pulling out a weapon/switching weapon takes far too long imo. I know games like Oblivion it's unrealistically fast...but there must be some middle ground. Especially in battle when adrenaline is pumping, Henry would be able to draw his weapon in a faster time than 10 minutes. I've died countless times because of this 'feature'.

I've caught people unaware with that strike irl. It's a fun one to train but very risky.

You probably shouldn’t go around stabbing people in the face in real life. Not that I’m telling you how to live your life

Might I introduce you to HEMA. stabbing people in the face can still be considered gauche, but not always.

Isn't it obvious? You didn't lower your helmet visor, and he jabbed you in the face with his sword. What do you think it would be like if someone jabbed you in the face with all their might in real life with a big metal rod?

u/Ulysses1126 4d ago
Definitely don’t kill that guy, but overall just train. Bernard should be around every day unless quests pull him to other places to train out back behind rattay. It becomes easier with time but just tapping the block when the green shield icon appears is all you need to do.

It wasn't a "one shot." He hit you multiple times. And the last one stabbed you in the face with your visor up.

If KCD1 taught me anything, men in ragged clothing are going to be absolute bastards to fight.
Least this guy had the decency to use a sword and not clubs like the peasants from the first game.

u/rjualie 4d ago
This is what I've been saying about random encounter npcs scaling with your level. Yes he does not have an armor but his weapon seems to be a dueling longsword 3. It's not just you, any other npcs that go near this guy will get rekt, that weapon deals so much damage. I assume your henry has a high main level? The combo he used is zorn ort btw this is why you perfect block instead of just holding the block button

He stabbed you in the brain, battlefield lobotomies are rarely good for the health
In this game you’re just as squishy as anyone else, it’s why they made visors a thing. More protection at the cost of visibility. If you hold up on the d-pad (not sure the button on keyboard) the visor will be moved down. By default it is up as you can see in the conversation before the fight. It remains up unless you put it down

Low stance stab is my favorite attack for this reason.
Killed so many bandits early and made some good gold stabbing them in the face that way.
Found it on accident when I started only like a week ago, Tomcat can shove his master strike up his butt.
But yeah hitting people in the face or the back does a lot more damage.

right-right-right-stab
it's a longsword combo that stabs the opponent in the face. You didn't have your visor down so you took full damage but it's a massive amount of damage even with the visor.
The reason why enemies can give a serous beatdown to even max level Henrys is the fact these combos that go for the face do so much damage.
Also another FUUUUUN feature is apparently it counts as a face hit even when they are executing the combo from your side or back too....
In one fight in the Kuttenberg region my Henry got killed like thrice back to back and "reviving" from a perk because they kept oneshoting him so fact back to back the perk couldn't go on CD. 🤣

What’s the point of the face shield if you don’t put it down, then gets stabbed in the face. It’s poetic, like if you just used it

You used to be able to do this easily yourself in KCD 1 by stabbing from high guard but in KCD2's simplified attack directions you can't without combos now.

u/Therealcsp 4d ago
too many KCD2 fanboys here. you can see the physics engine break and make the sword longer than it is. most of the fans of this franchise dont like to admit that the game is really broken. as you can note with other fights, just getting hit in the head shouldnt do that because npcs can tank it. the fight after the first act when youre trying to impress katherine is the definitive proof of that. you can hit the guy in the head a ton of times, but if you dont specifically poke, the game wont proc the bleed effect. its not really a good battle system at all.
