Another couple of tips for fighting multiple enemies. When moving, try to position yourself so that your enemies are getting in each others' way. Use body blocking and team damage to your advantage. You will want to alternate targets based on who presents the most immediate threat. If you land a hit, immediately try and get a hit on the next guy about to lunge at you, once you've staggered them, move on to the next person, etc. If you parry an attack, use your riposte (usually a stab) to hit the next guy who is winding up to attack.
thats (or most of the guides) are kinda basic if you read suntzu or similar samurai books :) funny in this game you can actually practice (like long sword in small rooms - not good etc.)
@@hexatx7740 why do people keep saying the life of this game gonna be short? Mordhau is still around with a playerbase. Chiv2 is similar, just a different flavor with easier entry point for people new to the genre. Mordhau was too punishing, wasn't even having fun.

This is THE Chivalry 2 Guide. Top notch content with wisdom, memes, and skill. Would love for you to dive into the Executioner's Axe though and give it another chance. I use it for badassery but get in the top 5 a lot with it too. Wouldn't be surprised if the halberd just outdoes it in every way, but would love for you to do a weapon analysis on that one specifically - maybe this could be a new series for you (specific weapon spotlights and gameplay). ChaseTheBro used to do that in DS3.
Executioner Axe is not horrible, but it has a lot of negative aspects and I believe it only shines a little bit in big team modes because most people arent very good. Its slow and has a bad stab, so most of its use is going to be from spamming heavy LMB into crowds and hoping for the best. Ive done well with it, but I certainly dont like it. The one positive thing I can say is that the heavy LMB does 70 damage while its heavy overhead also does 70 damage. Not many weapons get that kind of slash damage so thats pretty impressive, but thats about it.
@@Ziggylata to each their own! I personally love the executioners axe , and using it on the vanguard class has a great quick sprint attack to deal massive damage. And although the knife doesn’t do too much damage, it’s great to increase your chances against fast attack weapons.
Absolutely amazing guide! I was a Chivalry player way back in the day, and had about 60 hours into Mordhau. When I picked up Chivalry 2 during the Steam sale/launch, I spent the first 3 rounds just slashing not even realizing there were other attacks (I stupidly skipped the tutorial). This helped me so much and after 5 or 6 hours of practice I’m finally getting a positive KD in most of my games. Definitely subscribed, kudos to the amazingly detailed video! 🎉 Edit: as a fellow UA-camr (sort of), you definitely could’ve broke this into multiple small videos for way more total views. I think you still should! Just my 2 cents ☺️
I did the tutorial, but still, even with 500 hours in the original Chiv, I just couldn't help it but do anything other than slash and throw things for about ten rounds out of pure excitement. It was at that point I remember I could block.
It seem reasonable to have a really long guide for any Medieval combat game. In these kinda of game, there're alot of weapons & combat technics to used, some unique ability & using terrain for your benefit ... while you're playing with either 20-80 players or intensive 1vs1 duel. As a Mordhau player, even though the 2 game has many noticeable differents ... i can used 1/3 of this guide can be used successfully in both games. If you look at any Medieval-combat game guide in a ... kind of a nutshell, it all about how to be a "better player" in many situations as possible, both as a skillful combatant & being a good teammate (and in my opinion, a respectable opponent).
Hey man, sincerely, thank you for making this. This is the most comprehensive introduction to Chivalry2 I couldve asked for. I cant wait to jump in the game after this. It really helps!
Thank you SO much for the discouragement of toxicity at the end there. Toxicity is the reason I stopped playing Apex, Siege, and For Honor, and I never want it to happen with this game. Matter of fact, what you said genuinely brought light to why I get mad sometimes and I'll be sure to keep it in my head that everyone is just trying to have fun-just like I am. We need more of that in every gaming community.
It’s so crazy to hear you learned from teripper from way back in the day like I did and got inspiration from it. So awesome. Keep up the great work. You are very well spoken and entertaining.
1st video of yours I watched, great work, you've gained another sub. I learned a few things which is always good but the best part was from 1:27:40 to the end. You captured and described so well the biggest lesson most players seem to need - play the objective, be nice & have fun. Looking forward to your next vid.
Small but fun trick for shields: Pick up a large shield with the enemy's colors -- you can easily sneak around their left flank 90% of the time, if your heraldry isn't too revealing. I was able to easily keep my noble alive for half of my last elimination match by doing this, and the Agathians simply ignored the guy with the huge blue shield despite the red stripes on his shirt (although I stayed in the shadows to help conceal my allegiance). The only problem is the inevitable friendly fire you'll receive.
This doesnt work on normal players in most cases. If youre an Agathian and you pick up a Mason shield, it should swap automatically to an Agathian Shield (assuming no bugs). To your credit though, this works with odd-cases such as Peasants and VIPs such as The Duke, The Heir and Thorn. Probably the Monks on Galencourt as well.
@@Ziggylata It was on the elimination map where everybody starts as peasants, and I survived a remarkably long time doing this. I kinda figured it would work elsewhere too, shame it doesn't.
WOW, This thing is F*CKING EPIC, I really appreciate the ton of work you put into this, I've watched it twice. PLEASE don't stop. All of your Chivalry content is great but this is your opus and should be proud as hell. The "be nice" part, so important, shouldn't have to say it but good that you did. Sometimes that gets lost alot of the time, it's a game and we all play to have fun!
I just bought this game on the Xbox Series X. Never played something like this game before, but Lord this game is AWESOME! I still suck at it, but I'm having so much fun! Best game I've played in a long time! Thanks for the tutorial, mate! Very helpful for an absolute beginner like me!
One tip for consoles players: you cannot feint into the alternate by repeating the input on console. Say stab to alternate stab, slash to alternate slash. And there doesn’t seem to be an alternate button. You have to start the attack, quickly and briefly press block and start the attack again. This is how to switch to alternates.
The large shield of the knight can also block one ballista shot (but brakes on it). After that, you need to pick up another from ground, from the environment (which is not that hard mostly, there are plenty of shields mostly) or any random weapon (also 2h) and continue ... or die of course to get a new shield.
Excellent work Ziggy, very thorough, well thought out and humorous all in one. I can't wait for this inevitably to become the one-stop-shop for all new Chivalry players :) Now get some sleep.
Chivalry 2 releases on Steam on my birthday. I’ve known about Chivalry since I was about 12. I must prepare for this moment. So thank goodness this exists.
Love your appeal to keep this game wholesome and not tolerate toxicity in this community at the end. Good guide! Also, what is the outro song called?, sounds like a banger
A blessing from the lord. In the shield section though you forgot to mention (or i didn't hear) that counters negate the damage shields take. They still suck.
I started playing chiv 2 because I loved the first one. I did the tutorial and somehow, didn't retain anything. I have brute forced my way to the top of team games, but didn't really know the mechanics. Now I do, thanks man. Can't wait to put them to use!
This is so, so good. I’m a hardcore For Honor player, so I’ve picked up Chiv 2’s mind games and reads fairly quickly, but there is so much that this game doesn’t tell you. This was invaluable. (Btw, I do enjoy longbowman, but only to help outnumbered teammates, push objectives, cover teammates, and kill enemy archers (especially crossbowmen). I play a ton of Guardian, so I am used to small-range weapons if I need to 1v1. Not sure if this makes it any better, but I thought I’d let you know ;) )
Great tutorial, best after 2 others I skimmed through. Still not sure how to accel attacks and counter kicks, but that is one information-dense video right there, very nice work!
Thanks for this guide! Very helpful and I love how you bring your personality into it and have fun. So many guide videos out there with some dude speaking monotone and just droning on and on and on. Your take on it was very refreshing!
The main thing that fustrate me so much in the game is indeed struggling to land an hit and dying in like 2 second during a combat (Lack of skills) But it was nearly impossible for me to undertand my mistakes and on what I should work on to improve, this guide you made helped a lot and now I enjoy the game way more
Thank you very very much. I used to play mordhau before but had to adjust to the new blocking mechanic. Recently a lvl 800 told me that I'm good for a lvl 50 and it's all thanks to your guides. SOOOO again, thanks a lot.
very good guide to get into the game properly, i had zero idea that strong attacks with blunt weapons went through multiple opponents, i had zero idea that the parry had a specific hitbox or that kick didn't do anything against enemies that aren't blocking i assumed i just missed the kick, also i did not know that weapons could outspeed the reposte attack and keep swinging on you. or that the duck has different quick animations depending which way you moved in. so many good tidbits that's easily missable especially coming from original chivalry as many of these concepts are new. and as i am playing man at arms i will be using dodge after attacks to maneuver more quickly around in 1v X opponents, and yeah rushing in alone and getting swarmed, that's me alright. i'll have this in an open tab and practice different things in this guide for a while i think.
Zigg: *googles riposte to check pronunciation* "Oh ok, i'll never say it wrong again" Also Zigg: *proceeds to say it wrong anyway* Jokes aside, thank you for this
I just started playing chiv a month ago and I’m absolutely addicted Came to UA-cam for chiv2 content and I found u who stood out to me the most and instantly became my favorite I learned a lot from u and I really like your style, please keep up the good work!
I think the Engineer should get access to the Man at Arm's 50% less dodge cooldown. All of his weapons have hitstop and he doesn't even have a secondary weapon so he kinda sucks in 1VX. If he had the dodge cooldown ability and the user was good, he would be able to kinda take people one at a time in a 1VX. He would still have hitstop though so he still wouldn't be great in a 1VX just a bit better
I got into this game recently. I only have about 10 hours in it and suck. But it’s still so fun, and this guide has helped a lot. Also I played a game with you (or with someone using your name) the other day and you were really good; you were the duke at the very end and did a good job defending yourself from the other team which was otherwise much better than ours; I remember you had barely any health left at the end but luckily time ran out. Also that intro was really good, loved the music
the problem with making headshots a non factor is it makes it almost point less to try and duck a blade when people are never aiming at your head anymore
Third person is good for you to check your surroundings, but first person is good for more accurate attacks and moves. Personally, I use first person for short ranged one handed weapons(and bows/crossbows too); and third person for longer bigger weapons.
You're a really good editor! The way you cut off certain clips made the video funnier and you didn't force any jokes that would make the moment "cringey"- good stuff!
underrated comment. Forcing jokes SUCK and i'm glad you appreciate the modesty of Ziggy. I don't agree with some of ziggy's takes. Like his distain for mordhau and games like mordhau. But he isn't stupid. He says he loves chiv 2 because it's the only melee slasher that is actually different. Renown is Mordhau *BUT* rust. and so on so forth. Chivalry 2 is actually different and I respect his opinion, I just disagree. He's great fun guy and he is funny. He's like your bad*ss friend. Not overbearing, chill asf, just wants a good time. And all of his opinions aren't plain dumb, even if you disagree you respect him
Hi. I just started playing the game a few days ago and this is by far the most helpful guide I stumbled upon. You did an excellent job. Now I just need to learn how implement all this stuff :D. And also your positive attitude is really making this fun to watch. P.S. you actually have a really nice voice to listen to.
@ZiggyLata .. thank you for creating this #chivalry2 video. It's good and thorough. Best part, is at 1:34:30. I'll pull my kid from his games (Fortnite, Fall Guys, Minecraft, Rocket League, etc.) to listen to just that section. OMG he needs to listen to it. Don't be a shitter!
I hope you never get burnt out as fast and suddenly as teripper did. I love watching your videos, and I have become a much better player thanks to them.
in 8+ years of slashers addiction btw in game plays, mechanics learning, form numbers etc etc this is the best content ive ever seen for: quality, precision, simple comunications of contents and the passionate cut that emerges, GG zygg
About the archer section, they actually can be stopped without a shield. Once I was playing great sword with vanguard and I didn’t even mean to, but I countered the arrow before it was able to hit me and I proceeded to kill the archer.
Watched it again....thanks, for honor had me messed up in the beginning because I'm used to different mechanics..a must watch for every one that has the game is what I'm trying to say..
Hey man, just watched the full thing and all I've got to say is bravo. Honestly. From the intro with the fanfare and the intense music to all of the great advice. This piece of chivalry art was well worth the wait. Main takeaway, don't be a sandwich on an anthill. Go and get your rest gamer, you deserve it. P.S. Would love to play with or against you one day. Even though playing against you would be a death sentence 😂
I love some of the background music you chose. From Elder Scrolls IV to Ace Combat Shattered Skies?? Like what. That's awesome. Great guide. Look forward to utilizing the information.
Thankyou very much Zig. I might be a little late but i'm having a lot of fun with this game, i come from For Honor and this game is a lot less oppressive and competitive but i still want to get good and you've been helping me a lot, thanks.
Regarding specials. I was able to counter a special and twice people countered my special. It's doable, but the window is extremely small. If you do it, they basically can't react and you hit them. I found overhead counter works best.
@@Ziggylata huh, I could do it vs a mate consistently, if we both stand still. So I would never have thought that was a bug. Didn't see it on the roadmap either. Thanks for letting me know.
1:17:30 one reason I like Chivalry 2 is getting to apply martial concepts in a game. Meyer's footwork and Dog Brothers Attack and Defense Triangle footwork are what I am working on (Meyer's is HEMA, Dog Brothers are FMA).
jesus christ, an hour?
and a half
This is gonna take a while

One tip for consoles players: you cannot feint into the alternate by repeating the input on console. Say stab to alternate stab, slash to alternate slash. And there doesn’t seem to be an alternate button.
You have to start the attack, quickly and briefly press block and start the attack again. This is how to switch to alternates.
The large shield of the knight can also block one ballista shot (but brakes on it).
After that, you need to pick up another from ground, from the environment (which is not that hard mostly, there are plenty of shields mostly) or any random weapon (also 2h) and continue ... or die of course to get a new shield.

Also I played a game with you (or with someone using your name) the other day and you were really good; you were the duke at the very end and did a good job defending yourself from the other team which was otherwise much better than ours; I remember you had barely any health left at the end but luckily time ran out.
Also that intro was really good, loved the music
the problem with making headshots a non factor is it makes it almost point less to try and duck a blade when people are never aiming at your head anymore
LETS GO ITS HERE
Third person is good for you to check your surroundings, but first person is good for more accurate attacks and moves.
Personally, I use first person for short ranged one handed weapons(and bows/crossbows too); and third person for longer bigger weapons.
Legendary! Wow man this is fucking epic.
Bro around 7:00 when you started taking about if you look good in 3 person or not sent me 😂. Relatable lol
6:56 I’m sitting here like yeah yeah eff 3rd person…. Only to see….
I now understand and lmao gosh I’m groomable
Love the kcd music in the background, just legendary
You're a really good editor! The way you cut off certain clips made the video funnier and you didn't force any jokes that would make the moment "cringey"- good stuff!
underrated comment. Forcing jokes SUCK and i'm glad you appreciate the modesty of Ziggy.
I don't agree with some of ziggy's takes. Like his distain for mordhau and games like mordhau. But he isn't stupid. He says he loves chiv 2 because it's the only melee slasher that is actually different.
Renown is Mordhau *BUT* rust. and so on so forth. Chivalry 2 is actually different and I respect his opinion, I just disagree. He's great fun guy and he is funny. He's like your bad*ss friend. Not overbearing, chill asf, just wants a good time. And all of his opinions aren't plain dumb, even if you disagree you respect him
even now(after a year) this guide is helpfull for me.
Thank you Ziggytala for help in understanding this game a little better.
Hi. I just started playing the game a few days ago and this is by far the most helpful guide I stumbled upon. You did an excellent job. Now I just need to learn how implement all this stuff :D. And also your positive attitude is really making this fun to watch. P.S. you actually have a really nice voice to listen to.
Thank you very much for the kind words. You might enjoy my stream if you find the time to come by.
Only at start but KCD ambient sound is just spot on best xD
@ZiggyLata .. thank you for creating this #chivalry2 video. It's good and thorough. Best part, is at 1:34:30. I'll pull my kid from his games (Fortnite, Fall Guys, Minecraft, Rocket League, etc.) to listen to just that section. OMG he needs to listen to it. Don't be a shitter!
Great job Zigg.
Worth the wait.
LETS GOOOOOOOO
I hope you never get burnt out as fast and suddenly as teripper did. I love watching your videos, and I have become a much better player thanks to them.
Hell yeah brotherrr!
I appreciate the kingdom come deliverance music. Thank you for putting all your experience together to share
Very thorough and comprehensive, excellent job!!
in 8+ years of slashers addiction btw in game plays, mechanics learning, form numbers etc etc this is the best content ive ever seen for: quality, precision, simple comunications of contents and the passionate cut that emerges, GG zygg
Dude the best guide I’ve seen so far on this game! You should be proud of your hard work! 👏
I appreciate it, pal.
About the archer section, they actually can be stopped without a shield. Once I was playing great sword with vanguard and I didn’t even mean to, but I countered the arrow before it was able to hit me and I proceeded to kill the archer.
An epic intro for an epic game.
Watched it again....thanks, for honor had me messed up in the beginning because I'm used to different mechanics..a must watch for every one that has the game is what I'm trying to say..
Hey man, just watched the full thing and all I've got to say is bravo. Honestly. From the intro with the fanfare and the intense music to all of the great advice. This piece of chivalry art was well worth the wait. Main takeaway, don't be a sandwich on an anthill. Go and get your rest gamer, you deserve it.
P.S. Would love to play with or against you one day. Even though playing against you would be a death sentence 😂
Thank you for this. I was teaching my friend how to play and an overwhelming amount of what I said came from this vid. Love ya man
Ziggy you have my respect. Absolutely amazing job.
I love some of the background music you chose. From Elder Scrolls IV to Ace Combat Shattered Skies?? Like what. That's awesome. Great guide. Look forward to utilizing the information.
Now if only i had the reflexes to do stuff like counter feints and react to every kick attempts .
Thankyou very much Zig. I might be a little late but i'm having a lot of fun with this game, i come from For Honor and this game is a lot less oppressive and competitive but i still want to get good and you've been helping me a lot, thanks.
Hell yea zigg good job man. Fantastic work. Keep it up 🙏🏼
Love a long video with good explanation because I can play and watch but I don’t have to watch all the time
Regarding specials. I was able to counter a special and twice people countered my special. It's doable, but the window is extremely small. If you do it, they basically can't react and you hit them. I found overhead counter works best.
Thats actually a bug. Reasons like this are why the game shouldve been delayed, how are you supposed to know thats a bug?
@@Ziggylata huh, I could do it vs a mate consistently, if we both stand still. So I would never have thought that was a bug. Didn't see it on the roadmap either. Thanks for letting me know.
Intro cinematic fuckin' rocked, dude. Great, great, GREAT guide. Thanks for the effort.
The holy grail!!
Came back just to see the change in views, wow incredible
1:17:30 one reason I like Chivalry 2 is getting to apply martial concepts in a game. Meyer's footwork and Dog Brothers Attack and Defense Triangle footwork are what I am working on (Meyer's is HEMA, Dog Brothers are FMA).
Thats rad.
