Master Strike training in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Henry must undergo special training to learn the Master Strike in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. After completing the opening tutorial, seek out Bara the beggar in Troskowitz. She'll direct you to Tomcat, initiating the Combat Training side quests.

Locate Tomcat at the Nomads' Camp near the Cumans' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Complete his introductory Combat Training I quest, then save your progress before attempting the more difficult Combat Training II challenge.

Victory in Combat Training II's sword duel against Tomcat earns you the Master Strike technique. While available early, we recommend boosting Henry's Strength first - failure leaves him severely wounded. Always save before retrying.

Successfully defeating Tomcat in Combat Training II permanently adds Master Strike to your combat repertoire.

Effective Master Strike techniques

This advanced technique works exclusively with swords - other weapon types cannot perform Master Strikes.

During combat, observe your opponent's weapon stance and position your sword accordingly. Always hold your blade opposite to theirs - if they attack from the left, position right.

When a green shield icon appears mid-screen during an enemy attack, immediately press your attack button while maintaining proper sword positioning. This executes an automatic parry followed by an unstoppable counterattack.

This devastating move dominates most combat scenarios in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, revolutionizing your fighting effectiveness.
