Also the written form of the guide is greatly appreciated. Written guides are much easier than video guides for me (but I'm liking + commenting to support you guys!)
Hard-core with all negative perks is where it shines. The picking of herbs at the start will make you money and level you up the easiest way possible. Do get the instant herb pick mod
I purchased the royal version with all the DLCs.. got beaten by kunesh and retried for 30 minutes. Saw lockpicking on YT and got discouraged. Uninstalled the game on my ps... 2 years later, then I saw this vid. I installed the game again and had crazy fun. Im on normal mode now, followed every step of this guide. I mastered lockpicking! It's f-ing hard on console but there is a secret technique completely different. Switch to simplified lockpicking on settings. Retry lockpick until you see the smallest circle show up (so the sweet spot will be on outermost, the smallest the better). Put your right thumb and right index with pinching motion on right joystick then steadily follow sweet spot. I can lockpick everything without savior snapps now. 😂 Thanks for this guide bro... i found my love for KCD ❤️
yea so true just play alone no need to max everything + i thinks its not for Complete noobs bc noobs know a few things that he did not explain complete noobs don't know why they have a cut seen when they are picking some nettle
I have to agree. This is great for a second playthrough especially on hardcore, but in my personal experience would have ruined the emersion I had. I really felt like getting into the roll of Henry
Great video. Picked up the game during a sale and recently began playing. Spent like 2-3 hours just messing around in Skalitz to get a better feel for the game before continuing on, I reckon I'll do some of the things here but not others to not have a completely easy first playthrough.
Mr. Strat Gaming!!! This was so amazing!! The intro was on point... So bored of picking up herbs from other walkthroughs that I stopped playing the game ;_; With work and studies I don't have a lot of time available to devote to learning the game mechanics so I watch walkthroughs to experience the core story and experience game mechanics along the way... Thanks a lot!!
nice guide to get well equiped and ready to roll :) on the first playthrough i would advise to take some time and get to know the world a little tho.. if you want to have unlimited time you can also glitch / leave the starting area and travel the world while beeing in the prolog
For sure! The story def is worth experiencing at a slower pace so you can soak it in! I just see so many people caught in the weeds in Skalitz, I wanted to show a quick, efficient way to get to the open world and experience everything this game has to offer while not being overwhelmed by combat mechanics or lack of protection!
This game is one of those diamonds in the rough that, after patches just turned into a diamond. Been itching for a second KCD playthrough and grabbed a DLC I didn't have before, so this is well timed.
@@Griff_Gaming Band of Bast--- and the Treasures DLCs are what I picked up on sale recently. Now I have all them except Woman's lot (bad reviews) and the town building one (not interested). First playthrough was years ago so looking forward to another run.
@delos2279 Band of Bastards is one of my favs! The characters are epic. Won't spoil anything here as far as the plot line to it, just that it becomes avaliable after your first big "battle" (in case you're wondering when you can access that one.) Treasures of the past gives you 5 extra maps in your trunk that lead to getting a full set Warhorse Armor. Enjoy!
It's actually possible to take out the bailiff without actually alerting the ground. In the drinking animation when the npc sitting to his left looks away just exactly before that hold F the NPC will not be looking at that moment and u'll be able to knock and quickloot the bailiff easily.😂😅
It is but it's inconstant, I've had sometimes it worked and others it didn't so I figured an easy escape, wanted or not was the best way to explain and make it accessible for others to try. Having split second timing in a guide is something I try to avoid just to not close the possibility off for others. But if you can do it without being wanted, more power to you!
@@Griff_Gaming Agreed, whether or not u do it that way it just affects the reputation which will be of no use as the town'll only not exist after that😂
It will take some time to get used to voices other than Strat's on this channel. Anyway, thanks, good video, I like it. Nice one Griff. GG Strat face reveal incoming??
Ahhh picking all the plants brings back memories. i loved that grind for some reason but as soon as combat was introduced the learning curve was too steep. bring me back to the nettles and dandelions lol
Combat can def be difficult, what I say is try to get to around the first big battle (in Priby). If it's still impossible then there's that but the beginning you're so undertrained it's jarring. I think KCD 2 will do much better at leveling that curve out to make it more accessible
@@HanganakaNak once your herb skill is a certain level you can hold the button and collect from the general area (the area getting larger the higher your skill is) That's from memory though! I've not played in like 2 years and only put something like 10 hours into the game lol
@@bim_94 i know you can pick more and more when u get to a certain level but, he took them like he was taking stuff off ground, it normally plays an animation
After you finish the prologue and before you start the hunting quest with Hans Capon just do runs back and forth from skalitz to the inn south of talmberg stairs unlimited bandit spawns fighting at skalitz and the chest at the inn connect to your main chest it has I infinite space you could go back and forth for about an hour and end up with 50,000 + Groschen and you can upgrade your horse with some of the money and ended up doing larger runs before you have to go back and sell that's how I built the town you get from "house of ashes" DLC and train with Bernard for about 30 minutes with each weapon or about an hour with one to get very high stats and upgrade as you wish along the way you can max out your character in a weapon tree in a couple of hours before the hunt quest with Sir Capon theres also many herbs at skalitz you can pick instead of skipping time waiting for the bandits to kill each other in skalitz its all one route
@@Griff_Gaming I'm very much into bannerlord aswell so yeah I watch strat alot 😂 and now that u and flesson have arrived I bet this channel will be better than it ever was
Thank you for the guide! it's very detailed yet straight to the point. It inspires me to redo everything again. I ended up spending 2 hours to perfect all lockpick at Skalitz though lmao
very good video, .. I don't know how I miss that game, found it browsing for cheap keys and found it's complete version for about usd3 and found about it's second one coming early next year, .. Thanks for the good video.
9:05 Grabbing the horse. I watched another UA-camr and found out you can ALSO get a HUGE load of Armor/Weapons/etc, by attacking/whistling the guards, then Horse back ride and forth to KILL all the Kumash with the sword, near the house that (30 or more) then LOOT em. Ive seen it done, but DAM its tough to do.
Don't back down on your dreams and goals strat. Nothing is perfect 😊 but its important to get failures becoz that is what will make you better and good prospect in the youtube community. Keep it up
Was going through steam sales and saw this plus DLC for $7, grabbed it, played, cried, a lot, complained about how the game was broken because I still don't quite understand the mechanics, kept trying and now I'm ready for the true Henry experience. 2nd game is gonna be great.
I was able to get all of the ones he mentioned with the four lockpicks except for the hard lock in the chamberlain's room of Talmberg. It takes a bit of luck, honestly. I'd use a savior schnapps probably halfway through grabbing the chests. If you run out of lockpicks before the poacher's one, you can buy more from the Votava dude in Talmberg
You actually can beat up Kunesh and still get the lockpick. Just don't take the keys after that. Check the chest, take keys and after that you still can ask your friends to beat him up with you (for fun)
Random question here, how is your Henry wearing his hood like that at the start? Normally the hood is just down. Is that a mod or is there some option I'm not seeing to toggle it? Anyway, awesome guide! Very useful
Love Griff's speedy detailed help, but I only got 1 lockpick from Fritz. Broke that, so all the stuff I'm sposed'ta steal in Tamberg I can't get to....natch, it's gotta be me!
Hey again, while trying this, it said to get the lockpicks from our friends for looting the Deutch's house--before doing the manure mission. Problem is, you get the lockpicks FROM doing the manure mission. Must be missing something, I don't know how to get a lockpick without that mission 5:07
You can get the lockpicks before then too - you need to make sure you don't beat the old man up, walk up to his chest and get the dialogue about Fritz giving lockpicks. The go immediately to the tavern, after the cut scene talk to Fritz before he runs off and you'll get them!
@@Strat-Guides Ah huge! thank you, thought that cutscene always went immediately into throwing manure. Realized there was an option to say "no, not about it". Managed to get all of Deutsch's loot even after it too! He carried away firewood and I had enough time for both chests
LOCKPICKS CORRECTION: When talking to your friends, just say you are in. Do not ask for help in return, or you won't get the lockpicks. To be sure you get them, ask Fritz for a lock picks right away, right when boys start to run to Deutsch's house. (I only started to play a couple days ago, so I guess it might have something to do with updates.) Also, I've found out if you run to Bianka as quickly as possible after obtaining the lockpicks, you will have the most dialogue options. You need to ask really quickly, skipping all dialogue, not reading/listeting to it whole. I am not sure why, I think you need to ask before the boys reach Deutsch's house, but I did not test it too thoroughly. So, you need to run to Bianca --> quickly ask about Matthias and then if she saw your friends. Other dialogue options stay the same, just do not ask about beer as is mentioned in the video. And pardon my English, I am not playing it in English and I am not from an English-speaking country. I hope my comment still makes sense. :)
No, you can get the lockpicks even if you ask them for their help. There hasn't been an update in several years and this was recorded just a couple weeks before posting so everything I did in the video can be done
@@Griff_Gaming Really? I just played it and repeated that part as I was trying something and it didn't offer me that dialogue when I asked them for help. I must've done something differently then. I believe you more than I believe myself. :) I thought as they are helping me anyway I am not in need of those lockpics anymore. :D
At 9:35 on the road to the right, a guy walks on the road just outside of view with the best gambesons (Quarted combat jacket) in the game, the yellow and black one. If you run this way as he is in the video, you can jump over the tiny stream of water with the horse which glitches the Cumans out, making them turn back around to use the road over the water instead. Giving you some time to kill this guy and jump of to grab the jacket before they come around. This is the earliest i've found to get this piece of armor, and might as well pick it up here if you are maxing out the game fast.
Very true but it's the very same one we get at 11:30. In my experience to kill that NPC usually requires you to stab a couple times and it shred the jacket unfortunately whereas the Chamberlains is usually a bit higher condition so it can be repaired by Henry rather than needing to be taken to the merchants for repair
@@Griff_Gaming If i remember it correctly, you can get it close to perfect condition as long as you are aiming for the head. You are correct though.. The pristine one at 11:30 is probably way easier to get. I just like getting this one because it is a fun challenge. And also good for helping out leveling up maintenance when you get yourself some tailor kits!
It's a mod, I'll link it if you're interested. The black hoods look AWESOME when equipped without a hat on. Really makes you look like a bandit! www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance/mods/483
First off: ayyy welcome Griff Gaming! lol but just wanted to say I got fed up with the inventory weight of this game and quit: that single tip about chests being shared across locations makes me want to actually run this again and complete it. Never know what tip that you choose to elaborate on will make a difference to someone. Also, love the format of this video. Do you all edit your own videos now or is Strat still the main editor? Definitely shares the style--looking forward to more
Hey Butters! I'm glad the tip helped! That's always good to hear when I share something like that is it might make the experience better for someone. I edit all my own vids so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I wish you could provide a link we could print a transcript. Be me, 64, try and take notes as you talk in roadrunner . If you listen closely I swear one can hear a “meep meep” every now and then. I love what you say but can’t keep up. I’ve tried to use the mic in a note taking app that prints what you say and the only one word it printed was “jail”. You’re like the professor from hell. “I’m only going to say this once class so pay attention, this will be 95% of your 4 hour exam.” OH COME ON!!! 😂😂😂😂
as a first-timer on this game, i find it really hard to get away from the cuman horsemen. maybe I need to level up some stats or something but Henry always die lol
Go to the linked livestream at the end of the video, sometimes it helps to watch someone do it in real time to help you with pathing, maybe that will help
@joanmanelpratpla4801 when you're burying your parents you can pick them up. You'll be overburdened for a few steps, but the quest that starts you off at rattay will have all your stuff in the chest there when you wake up!
Playing on PS4 and every time I go to take the saddle it's always at 0 condition for some reason, although I've heard it makes no difference in functionality it definitely drops the sale value lol.
Can you please upload that save somewhere? It would be good to have it, as I don't have enough patience to do all the stuff needed. Takes way more time constantly looking in my phone for that hints
If you check the description, I've left a link to a Notion page where I have a check list of step by step instructions you can follow along with, hope that helps!
I tell you in the video how you can improve your odds. The higher your skill level with the character gets the easier it gets, much like real life. You're not going to get hards and very hards off the bat but once Henry the character AND you, the player get used to it, the harder ones become easy to do
@@Griff_Gaming fair enough but I will say I’m enjoying this game I don’t know why I passed it all this years ago, maybe because there wasn’t enough of battle but if you get passed that it’s really good
When the game requires you to use very certain moves or else 100 out of 100 of your attacks get blocked, its a trash combat system. People that defend it probably like batman arkham combat. Press Y to win. It makes them feel like they're good at something for once.
I uploaded a video a few days ago about some changes to the channel - I've brought on a couple people to partner with me on this channel! This video was voiced and edited by Griff Gaming :D I think he did a really good job on this one
I just legit can not comprehend how you possibly unlocked all those chests and doors with only 4 lockpicks without the ability to save or reload. Half the time when I break a lockpick I suddenly break the other 3 in a matter of miliseconds and have no idea why
Stealing everything that isnt nailed down, and choking out any poor sap unlucky enough to be alone. The true Henry experience
I can't deal with being stopped by guards every 2 minutes because of my terrible rep though
Also the written form of the guide is greatly appreciated. Written guides are much easier than video guides for me (but I'm liking + commenting to support you guys!)
Glad it helped, also has a checklist so you can follow along!
I had to start this game 3 different times for it to put its hooks in me, but holy cow I’m glad I kept trying. Absolute god tier game.
It can be a bit punishing at the start but worth getting to know! Glad you enjoy it!
same almost uninstall then boom hooked

This game is one of those diamonds in the rough that, after patches just turned into a diamond. Been itching for a second KCD playthrough and grabbed a DLC I didn't have before, so this is well timed.
Awesome, hope you enjoy! Which DLC?
@@Griff_Gaming Band of Bast--- and the Treasures DLCs are what I picked up on sale recently. Now I have all them except Woman's lot (bad reviews) and the town building one (not interested).

@delos2279 Band of Bastards is one of my favs! The characters are epic. Won't spoil anything here as far as the plot line to it, just that it becomes avaliable after your first big "battle" (in case you're wondering when you can access that one.) Treasures of the past gives you 5 extra maps in your trunk that lead to getting a full set Warhorse Armor. Enjoy!
It's actually possible to take out the bailiff without actually alerting the ground. In the drinking animation when the npc sitting to his left looks away just exactly before that hold F the NPC will not be looking at that moment and u'll be able to knock and quickloot the bailiff easily.😂😅
It is but it's inconstant, I've had sometimes it worked and others it didn't so I figured an easy escape, wanted or not was the best way to explain and make it accessible for others to try. Having split second timing in a guide is something I try to avoid just to not close the possibility off for others. But if you can do it without being wanted, more power to you!

When you wake up in Rattay, should you do the miller stuff first before going to level your skills? I don't want Pecheck mad at me :P
No matter what you do, the lockpicking system in this game is still an atrocity upon mankind. Hope it's switched out entirely in the next game.
whats up griff
What's up Big Red!
Precisely. Just reinstalled it an hour ago for my 5th HC run.
Great now I gotta restart 😂

It's a mod, I'll link it if you're interested. The black hoods look AWESOME when equipped without a hat on. Really makes you look like a bandit!

It's a mod
@@sicecko you would think they would have it be vanilla for a guide, especially a starters guide
@averyvincent8361 true. And it's a small visual one so it doesn't change anything he said. But it did get my hopes up for a few minutes
Henry, the Nettle picker.
Grievous assault and theft with zero guilt - this is a violently yank way to play this game 😂
First off: ayyy welcome Griff Gaming! lol but just wanted to say I got fed up with the inventory weight of this game and quit: that single tip about chests being shared across locations makes me want to actually run this again and complete it. Never know what tip that you choose to elaborate on will make a difference to someone.
Also, love the format of this video. Do you all edit your own videos now or is Strat still the main editor? Definitely shares the style--looking forward to more
Hey Butters! I'm glad the tip helped! That's always good to hear when I share something like that is it might make the experience better for someone. I edit all my own vids so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I wish you could provide a link we could print a transcript. Be me, 64, try and take notes as you talk in roadrunner . If you listen closely I swear one can hear a “meep meep” every now and then. I love what you say but can’t keep up. I’ve tried to use the mic in a note taking app that prints what you say and the only one word it printed was “jail”.
You’re like the professor from hell. “I’m only going to say this once class so pay attention, this will be 95% of your 4 hour exam.”
OH COME ON!!!
😂😂😂😂
as a first-timer on this game, i find it really hard to get away from the cuman horsemen. maybe I need to level up some stats or something but Henry always die lol
Go to the linked livestream at the end of the video, sometimes it helps to watch someone do it in real time to help you with pathing, maybe that will help
look! henry has come to rob us! jesus christ be praised!
Henry needs that money for food, I hear he's hungry quite often!
You using a mod for the hood? If not I never noticed you can use it
Yeah that's a mod!
how is the animation so short for picking up plants. I have a whole crouching animation
It's a mod I use. I'll leave it linked down below
www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance/mods/367
It's a mod called "Instant Herb Picking". I linked it below in the description along with the link to the Nexus page
@@Strat-Guides I thought so ok, thank you new friend! Best of luck in your videos!!
I did the nettle thing on my first play through same with stealthing the farmer I wanted to ko a gaurd and get aome good gear
Def helps at the very start! Good to see ya here Jess!!
@@Griff_Gaming this is my new favorite channel
@@theoutsiderjess1869 hope to have more great stuff coming!
For the Shout out on the secret service🐊
You're the man Cesar, thank you so much!!!
All the stuff that you robb in skalice, you leave it in the box on henry's house? Or at some point you can take it back?
@joanmanelpratpla4801 when you're burying your parents you can pick them up. You'll be overburdened for a few steps, but the quest that starts you off at rattay will have all your stuff in the chest there when you wake up!
@@Strat-Guides I have to tell you that during two days i hated u so much. It has been a nightmare the lockpicking...
woppaaaaaaaaa
Playing on PS4 and every time I go to take the saddle it's always at 0 condition for some reason, although I've heard it makes no difference in functionality it definitely drops the sale value lol.
12:33 😂😂😂😂
I am having trouble getting the bailiff, it is almost like a guard is spawning in the path I need to run. I always check to see if it is clear
How did you have the hood iver your head?
@@sicecko that's a mod!
Can you please upload that save somewhere? It would be good to have it, as I don't have enough patience to do all the stuff needed. Takes way more time constantly looking in my phone for that hints
If you check the description, I've left a link to a Notion page where I have a check list of step by step instructions you can follow along with, hope that helps!
Ngl this is eerily similar to a Kenshi guide.
How do you put the hood up like that?
It's a mod!
this is one game you should not be min-maxing.
just live the experience.
the W O R S T lockpicking in any video game ever
If this shit is in the 2nd one. I'm not buying it.
Me watching this when i can't even run the game😂😂
Living vicariously!
@@Griff_Gaming 👌
4:40 Not strat just a casual guy who holds wr of kcd speedrun
No biggie lol
Bro it ain’t easy to unlock the chest with a lockpick in this game. It took me two hours to unlock one chest
Lmao
I saw this game at Kinguin selling for 5€
Yeah, the sales have been nice for getting this game out there in front of people before the release of the sequel!
Bro you lockpicking like they give you infinite lockpick.
You do know has news players will be going thru so many lockpick in one chess
I tell you in the video how you can improve your odds. The higher your skill level with the character gets the easier it gets, much like real life. You're not going to get hards and very hards off the bat but once Henry the character AND you, the player get used to it, the harder ones become easy to do
@@Griff_Gaming fair enough but I will say I’m enjoying this game I don’t know why I passed it all this years ago, maybe because there wasn’t enough of battle but if you get passed that it’s really good
yo bro what mod did u use for bannerlord?thank u❤
Bannerlord mod video should be out early next week!
When the game requires you to use very certain moves or else 100 out of 100 of your attacks get blocked, its a trash combat system. People that defend it probably like batman arkham combat. Press Y to win. It makes them feel like they're good at something for once.
How is Henrys hood up?
It's a mod!
Ah ok i thought u played on console since u mentioned a controller.
Heyo, is it just me or his voice is different? What happened to your voice man? Take it back!
Cause it's me! There was an announcement video that Strat would be collabing with other creators!
@@Griff_Gaming oh wow, nice to see you!
@@bayroot7385 thank you!
How do you do this all this without saving?
How do you choke this guy out at the beginning? Do I need a perk for that? 😯
How is your hood up? i never seen one...
It's a mod, check the description for the nexus link
@@Griff_Gaming Ahh, shame I am on console, thanks!
What is thisvoice and what you did with real Strat!?
I uploaded a video a few days ago about some changes to the channel - I've brought on a couple people to partner with me on this channel! This video was voiced and edited by Griff Gaming :D I think he did a really good job on this one
Things like selling to Bjanka her own goods just ruin immersion. Can you make a start guide without staff like that?
Anything you don't want to do you're more than welcome to skip over
@@Griff_Gaming sure, but if there is an alternative?
@@NingreenGupta not poop on street
Youre method had me over encumbered forever and even getting stuck in that grave. Do better
THAT SO PITTY THAT WE HAVE TO STEAL.. I CANT DO THİS BUT THANK YOU
Is it possible to play this game without being a sociopath?
Not while Henry is hungry lol
Is there any other way to play?? lol News to me!
I literally can't do the lockpicking. I've spent over 45 minutes on 10 different saves because I keep running out of lockpicks doing your tutorial
I just legit can not comprehend how you possibly unlocked all those chests and doors with only 4 lockpicks without the ability to save or reload. Half the time when I break a lockpick I suddenly break the other 3 in a matter of miliseconds and have no idea why
