I persuaded Kuno to stay and fight, and killed Hagen Zoul straight away, plus all his men, then when I nicked the 6,000 from Hagen’s men, Kuno’s men turned on me, so I killed Kuno and his men too. Took Zoul’s armour, weapons and 6,000 Groschen. Lovely! And reported to Sir Radzig that everything was A-ok.
This whole DLC has so much wild west Hollywood film vibe (and it's a good thing). A band of former outlaws, formed of different fellas with different traits, fought against another like them, and it ended with a duel on the the top of a hill.
I persuaded Kuno to stay ,the alt is you get into s Battle with Sir Hagens men , you will get a 6k more grochen if you did this But seeing this alternative ending really did change my opinion on Sir Hagen, He truely is a Honorable Character Suprised me how his men reacted as well very good feature that they Prayed for him,
Adam Williams My first playthrough, I convinced Kuno and his men to fight. Only for them to die 10 seconds into the fight, and eventually leading to my death against Sir Hagen and his men alone. So I reloaded the game just before the encounter, had Kuno run off, then dueled Sir Hagen fair and square. His armor is the best reward I could even earn.
@@aleccross3535 I was lvl 20 for everything except axes, so Fighting Henry when I had a longsword usually Ill drop in bandit in full armour in 10 seconds, all of the Band of bastards survived in the fight, And i do agree the House of Zhoul armour is probably the best looking armour in the game
@@adamwilliams434 the one thing about this game i didnt like was you could not really wear a houses colors properly, like radzigs etc..... the zoul chestplate was great for having the house colors on it.
that writing is SO GOOOD and kudos to the voice actor of Sir Hagen who even at 1:16 scoffs when he says "you". He could have simply read the line but he makes rebuffs with a sense of offended pride, as the protagonist as not a threat with that simple "you". Then the actor of Henry responds insulted in his pride using shorter pauses then usual between words and raises slightly his tone of voice and between the "mine too" and the "And" there's that inbreath of someone trying to regain his composure not to yell at someone. That's awesome
I love this game it makes way more sense then any rpg i know atleast, the story is one of the best ever and i like it more because it is so historical accurate. And its amazing how weak u are and how your character grows the more u do things. Combined with the story how it feels and acts that henry grows feels so amazing. To me this game is a gem and i hipe for kdc 2
Yeah, I loved this game too. It felt very much like a first person Gothic game. Piranha Bytes' Gothic games were very similar with you starting out in an open world with no level scaling and 95% of the enemies able to easily murder you right at the beginning of the story. You had to be very smart about how you leveled up and picked your fights but as you got stronger and started to take on tougher sections of the world, each win felt like a real accomplishment to be proud of. Eastern Europeans really know how to make satisfying RPGs.
Im currently playing right now and I'm starting to become a menace in the battlefield, I can take 5 cumans easy and heavily armored bandits too. I miss being the weakling that you are at the start when every fight with more than one man is surely a lost battle.
Took a heavy battle axe and shield into battle with him and diced him up pretty quickly. His men got all righteous and I hacked them up as well. Very satisfying to walk around in his armor. Victory is mine!!!
Man this was one of the toughest fights in my playthrough a couple years ago... i still remember it... i was admittedly underequipped, more chain then plate for armor, basic sword and shield. The fight lasted SO LONG, and when i finally beat him i had nothing left, no health, armor destroyed... i was so glad his men didnt jump me... was all i could do to limp away to report back to Radzig.
That "No!" answer from Henry is just dramatic. It is a decision between staying alive or putting your neck on the line, facing the whole march of an army.
I just used the ballif’s mace for the fuel I get it was a swordsman duel but honestly he in my opinion is on par with the runt boss...and I hated that boss a few master strikes and some head strikes it was over
and more: dueling with him it’s very different than dueling runt. runt will always use his rhino-like body mass to ram and slash you, but hagen will fight just like wayfaring knight, only he’s very tricky. so DO NOT ever run to him like he’s a mid-level bandit. you do that, hagen will bash his shield to your face.
This never happened for me. I persuaded the mercs to deny the coin and it all ended in a battle that left me, the merc leader and his right hand man standing.
I did the same thing. I didn't want them to die. After I defeated Hagen Zoul and his cronies started walking away, I picked them out one by one with my bow until they all died. I had maxed out my bow skill and had the highest damage bow and arrows by this time.
By this point of the game I had basically infinite gold. You can farm forever you just go back and forth to Skalitz or whatever the first town and there's always soliders in full plate armor expensive plate there. You kill all of them using a bow, the best weapon in the game by far and then loot and sell, it's basically infinite gold.
I know I am more than three years late. Kingdom come combat is rather easy when you figure it out (I am by no means the best but you can probably win every duel without taking a hit if you practice this) Wait stationary for your opponent, do not attack. You will see their shoulders move the moment before they attack, block now and you will perform a master strike 90% of the time. Follow up with any one attack, make sure it is always the same spot you attack so you drill through their armour. Repeat until they are dead. This works with any weapon and makes duels boring personally. The reason you only follow up with one attack is because your opponent will not be able to parry or master stroke that attack you do (has not happened to me yet) I am still trying to figure out how to apply this to multiple opponents(bought the game two weeks ago. I played the main story until the knight teaches you master strikes then got deeply distracted by the bandit and cuman side quests), I can somewhat do it consistently with two opponents but when you get to three or four I tend to run to my horse and try to pick a few off with a bow if I am lucky with my shite aim.
The hardest fight I’ve ever been in was with ulfrich lol, defeated him 1st try though, runt was surprisingly easy too. I’ll have to check this DLC out, I like duelling people.
Ulrich felt too easy for me, his lack of a face plate had him down in seconds for me even with just slashes. Wish he has that hounskull helmet he did in his concept art or any helmet with a faceplate at least.
I chose to pay Sir Kuno because I found it dishonorable that he was serving Sir Radzig without payment. The choice affecting outcome is why I love this game.
That's quite curious detail how Radzig's men in the end took the money and didn't give a damn about honor and other stuff (while you can convince them otherwise - but that's the default option, imagine if Henry wasn't around) While Zoul's men honor his wish not to hassle with you and seems that are really very sorry about their leader as they indeed loved and respected him
@@TheTdw2000 well so as Zouls men, I mean he wasn’t “official” lord with knights, or he wasn’t a landlord to use peasants as soldiers - his men were also mercenaries most likely
Are the subtitles ready yet? Yes sir, I made them last night. Did you red the script? The what? I mean... Yes, yes I did. They should be in order. Good, good. Carry on. Dude do you think he will notice? Nah bro, he didn't read the script either.
The bandits attacked Henry in my run after Zoul was down. Maybe because I used the dog from another DLC to create openings as whenever I would attack, he would defend perfectly and then counterattack in the same move.
My fight with zoul ended with me knocking him out with a blow to the head, I snagged his fine ass armor then hopped on my horse ready to leave, but I couldn’t let my boy sir Radzig down, so as I was leaving I shot one crack shot of an arrow in Zoul’s gut killing him and rode into the sunset. Probably one of my favorite moments in gaming I’ve ever had.
This part to me was very funny tbh, because the situation was basically like, "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me." Killed Sir Hagen within 3 mins and after that, I just went toe to toe with his goons like a maniac. Of course I didn't walk out unscathed but situations like this where multiple opponents can surround you quickly lets you prove your skill with a blade.
I wish this games dev had the proper financial backing. I played religiously and adored everything, but it always felt.. basic? If it'd had a far steeper budget, thisd be the last game I'd played.
Whaaaaat? I can duel him? Every time I've done this mission my speech was high enough to convince Kuno to honor his agreement with Radzig. But this, this looks like good fun. My war hammer has been looking for a worthy opponent
I love how not only did I have shoddy armor for this fight, I also never learned master strikes at this point, so this fight was nothing but pure pain as the only money I had was all put into a fancy longsword lmao
I always learn master strikes as early as i can super useful tool for combat and also Just level up your lockpick to lvl 6 and get st Georges sword its the best sword and you can get it early on too
@@dukeofdogs6522 To be fair, it was my first playthrough. Went in blind, no tips or anything so I didn't even know master strikes did what they did and assumed I couldn't even learn them until my skill was high enough. Everyone parried me left and right while I'm just sitting there going "How the fuck do I do that???". And sweet, gotta look into that sword whenever I play it again.
@@Kh1m3ra oh yeah my first playthrough was Also very bad but yeah watch some vids essentially on my second playthrough i went in overlevelled into runts fight Game becomes super easy once you know which perks to chose and where all the gear is
@@Kh1m3ra my first playthrough was also blind. Bernard told me to train with him, I ignored him, got destroyed at the rattay tournament, I went back and trained with him, learned master strikes and won the tournament. Still, not a good design choice to make such an essential skill locked behind an optional interaction
Having played the game myself I realize now why people in these UA-cam videos choose to use a long sword for these duels. It’s more honorable and drawn out and exciting to watch. I am level 15 in mace and I use the Heavy War Hammer and I’m running through armored foes like butter.
After I beat him all of his men started attacking me. I thought it was part of the story but when I got back to Radzig to tell him what happened, Henry says that Zouls men didn’t attack. So I don’t know what happened lol
@@brownthunder8838 no I didn’t get a chance to loot him, because immediately after I beat him his men started attacking me, I wish I could have looted him I wanted that armor lol I don’t know what happen, but this game is filled with bugs so this was probably just another one.
@@bbull71 its not OP man its realistic. Its like getting shot with a crossbow during a siege and screaming THATS TO OP QUIT IT like there is always going to be military advancements that make the past ones obsolete, like plate armor getting crushed by a mace. Its why they moved on to peaked helmets to glance blunt strikes later.
@@Elbowbanditest2003 just because its meant to be realistic doesnt mean you cant have fun with it. If they think its more fun to use a sword then let them do it
I rocked the bailiffs mace the ENTIRE game, and no one had a chance once I started cracking skulls 😂 I one tapped once fight started and then the rest of his buddies tried to kill me haha
I never had the option for a duel. We had an all-out battle, I rushed Sir Hagen like a good vanguard, and took him out in a single blow. Mind you, my character was weak as hell.
I am trying to learn how to watch combat in this game, but it is too complicated for my brain to understand what am I seeing. I simply can not to understand in witch direction should I roll my eyes to get that green pixels I am suppose to be seeing. This combat video gave me bloody eyeballs. :)
the gameplay on this game is exactly what i expected Medieval Fighting to be: a very depressing struggle to survive, with very underwhelming sound effects.
Sir Hagen Zoul's men are well-trained. They only shout the same 3 pre-approved insults, as per military doctrine.

This part to me was very funny tbh, because the situation was basically like, "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me." Killed Sir Hagen within 3 mins and after that, I just went toe to toe with his goons like a maniac.
Of course I didn't walk out unscathed but situations like this where multiple opponents can surround you quickly lets you prove your skill with a blade.
Seems like you took the dishonourable path~
your skill with pressing block ok
Never cheesed a fight so hard, thanks to the ash wood bow and Piercing arrows
I remember I beat him...after the 3rd try? Then I got on my horse and started shooting arrows at all the henchmen.....good times!
I believe Henry was also feeling quite hungry during the fight.
I wish this games dev had the proper financial backing.
I played religiously and adored everything, but it always felt.. basic? If it'd had a far steeper budget, thisd be the last game I'd played.
i love how the commentary algo are all timed the same one the npcs
Whaaaaat? I can duel him? Every time I've done this mission my speech was high enough to convince Kuno to honor his agreement with Radzig. But this, this looks like good fun. My war hammer has been looking for a worthy opponent
I love how not only did I have shoddy armor for this fight, I also never learned master strikes at this point, so this fight was nothing but pure pain as the only money I had was all put into a fancy longsword lmao
I always learn master strikes as early as i can super useful tool for combat and also
Just level up your lockpick to lvl 6 and get st Georges sword its the best sword and you can get it early on too
@@dukeofdogs6522 To be fair, it was my first playthrough. Went in blind, no tips or anything so I didn't even know master strikes did what they did and assumed I couldn't even learn them until my skill was high enough. Everyone parried me left and right while I'm just sitting there going "How the fuck do I do that???".
And sweet, gotta look into that sword whenever I play it again.
@@Kh1m3ra oh yeah my first playthrough was Also very bad but yeah watch some vids essentially on my second playthrough i went in overlevelled into runts fight
Game becomes super easy once you know which perks to chose and where all the gear is
@@Kh1m3ra my first playthrough was also blind. Bernard told me to train with him, I ignored him, got destroyed at the rattay tournament, I went back and trained with him, learned master strikes and won the tournament. Still, not a good design choice to make such an essential skill locked behind an optional interaction
This is the typa stuff i wanna see in kcd 2
Having played the game myself I realize now why people in these UA-cam videos choose to use a long sword for these duels. It’s more honorable and drawn out and exciting to watch. I am level 15 in mace and I use the Heavy War Hammer and I’m running through armored foes like butter.
I miss the days of pre nerf headcracker, when you could just bludgeon your way through the game armed with a literal stick. Sweet sweet memories.
After I beat him all of his men started attacking me. I thought it was part of the story but when I got back to Radzig to tell him what happened, Henry says that Zouls men didn’t attack. So I don’t know what happened lol
You looted him. I think thats what causes them to attack =)
@@brownthunder8838 no I didn’t get a chance to loot him, because immediately after I beat him his men started attacking me, I wish I could have looted him I wanted that armor lol I don’t know what happen, but this game is filled with bugs so this was probably just another one.
This game looks amazing.
yes, especially the shoulder armor clipping into the body...
One of the best rps I've ever played. I felt like I was henry every time I started the game!
god have mercy on his soul 🥲
Why is it that nobody uses a mace? They are extremely good for armored opponents, just wack them two or three times on the noggin and they die
That's the problem. It's too easy and boring. The ceremonial mace is too op
@@bbull71 its not OP man its realistic. Its like getting shot with a crossbow during a siege and screaming THATS TO OP QUIT IT like there is always going to be military advancements that make the past ones obsolete, like plate armor getting crushed by a mace. Its why they moved on to peaked helmets to glance blunt strikes later.
@@jameschong3739 it's a game. It's supposed tj be fun. You want real life, go fight with a mace
@@bbull71 but the game is supposed to be realistic that's the point of it.
@@Elbowbanditest2003 just because its meant to be realistic doesnt mean you cant have fun with it.
If they think its more fun to use a sword then let them do it
"He's good"-Warden
Now that's called chivalry .
What’s funny is that when I beat him, his men attack me. I don’t know if it’s because I mercy killed him, or took the armor. Either way, they all died
This was a really amazing game such unique combat engine it is a true shame it has not been re used for another game yet
I did the group battle and made sure kuno and all his men lived. You should have been able to hire then to protect your town
now i know what every enemy sees when i charge them cool
Me fighting for my life:😬
Knight in the background: He's slow as fuck!
I always carry a mace, shortsword and a bow. And some bane poison. Mace for plate mail.
"This won't take long"
Literally 10 seconds later
*dies* 6:10
Sir Hagen “I’m not dead yet”
I rocked the bailiffs mace the ENTIRE game, and no one had a chance once I started cracking skulls 😂 I one tapped once fight started and then the rest of his buddies tried to kill me haha
is this a dlc? doesn't seem to be in the main storyline
It is the band of bastards dlc
I like playing Skyrim and Daggerfall, is this game a good fit for someone who is into Elder Scrolls games?
I don't think so, better play Oblivion or Gothic 3 or Elex
Why no one is using a mace ? Against armours are the best choice
Titan yea but swords just have a cool factor that’s hard to resist lol
its much more fun to drag out a good fight than to destroy him with a mace/club
Cuz then the battle becomes 2 seconds.
I always use a mace to destroy armoured enemies,i just want to kill my enemy,no dance with him
@@rubenazzoli7312 yep that's you. Other people want to dance with their opponents. It's totally okay for everyone to play however they want
My fav moves, get close to enemy then stab, stab, stab, hahaha
I never had the option for a duel. We had an all-out battle, I rushed Sir Hagen like a good vanguard, and took him out in a single blow. Mind you, my character was weak as hell.
I am trying to learn how to watch combat in this game, but it is too complicated for my brain to understand what am I seeing. I simply can not to understand in witch direction should I roll my eyes to get that green pixels I am suppose to be seeing. This combat video gave me bloody eyeballs. :)
Damn....this should have been the outcome no matter what. I thought I did the right thing by convincing Kuno but this ending was waaaay better.
this guy wrecks you if you are undergeared/leveled
the gameplay on this game is exactly what i expected Medieval Fighting to be: a very depressing struggle to survive, with very underwhelming sound effects.
Men fighting to the death is not a great thing to watch. there is no choreography and the stakes are never worth the effort compared to negotiation.
If you want Henry to win any duel or battle, you should leave him hungry like in the video
LOOKS AS IF YOU WERE QUITE HUNGRY DURING THIS DUEL
I had a poisonous advantage when I fought him.
I wish this game worked it's such a good concept
