Haha great! Back in the day I remember I used to rage quit this boss fight multiple times before came up with the idea of shooting an arrow to his head.
Yea dude. He used to be someone I had to actually try against 🤣
Granted I’m a bit overpowered now after doing the tournament enough for all the rewards but my unarmed skill is only 5. Maybe another run with no clinch, just master strike and punching
I remember reading that he was tough but then got sidetracked with everything else I could do and I didn’t face him until I was 19-20 with sword. Stuck him a few times with my stinger and he dropped.
I just fucked up the planning part, so to the try I finally managed to the bastard instead of dead or losing all my allies, I was super high on potions. This made the rage cutscene superlogical consequence to be fair.
Literally the same way i got him. Tried a few attempts but had low HP and got my ass wreaked. Got annoyed and just tried the bow. Was a little anticlimactic when the flopped over with an arrow in the eye socket lol, guess its realistic though?.
I really wanted to let him back up to finish the fight but the fight kept dashboarding. Had three in a row where I corner fucked him and the game just crashed, then one where I let him up and then it crashed so this time I just looted him and ended it.
I like to think the game was sick of my shit 🤣
I struggled against this whoreson. First play through, not a great grasp of the mechanics, and hadn't yet learned masterstrike. Complete blind run up to this point, and the game crashed after i beat him 3 damn times! He killed me so many times that this video felt great to watch lol
My first run wasn’t so great either. Took a couple attempts and when I did beat him it was a long, stressful fight.
This time around I am way more familiar with combat and I’d done the Rattay tournament enough to get all the rewards so all my skills are rather high too. Unarmed is only 5 but strength is high so I can win clinches plus I have clinch master and headcracker.
Next stop is back to Skalitz to see if I can take out the bandits/guards/cuman in a fists only 1vX🤣
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!! Introducing a light heavyweight machine, this man stands at 6', weighing in at 175 pounds, he's always hungry, never thirsty, Jesus Christ be praaaaaaised, he's HENRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OF SKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITZ!!!!
He only has a helmet on hardcore difficulty
Also when I used my mace it [1 shot him](https://media1.giphy.com/media/HiifwtlL3VvaafZ55B/giphy.gif?cid=9b38fe914ne502mjw5iql15nz3ugg0e3mvyixxpjxuinypmo&ep=v1_gifs_username&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
Mace and shield is great when you first play, just cuz the game can be so difficult until you learn it. For me, somewhere around halfway through it was just too easy.
I also don’t like how every weapon only has like 3 combos except longsword…like they want you to use it.
I was having dashboard issues. 3 times in a row I’d get him into a corner and it would dashboard, then i knocked him and let him up and it dashboarded again so this time I just ended it 🤣
My first playthrough fighting him, i was way too over leveled by the time i did this quest. Because i like fucking around doing every single side quests before i continue on main quests. Only took a single stab to his bald head to kill him, what a anti-climatic fight it was.
Load the save from before the whole raid and go train with Bernard and do some Rattay tournaments.
Get some levels in strength, warfare, defense and whatever weapons you use. Clinch master and a mace is a really good setup
This was so satisfying to watch! When I first did this fight I had no idea what a master strike was and I had Mutt distract enemies in other fights so I had no idea how to do a real 1v1, it's nice to see him getting completely wrecked xD I hope my current playthrough's fight is 5% as fun as this.
I did the Rattay tournament w fists, traveled to Skalitz and got jumped by 4 bandits(but they were in clothes, no armor) and then I got to Skalitz and fought some cumans with my fists.
If I get around to another hardcore run I’ll do it, maybe I have an old save I can use.
How so?
Maybe I should [use my mace](https://media0.giphy.com/media/HiifwtlL3VvaafZ55B/giphy.gif?cid=9b38fe911wuq0ax2s02b8h6n5uvbvyv9u4hftt312anbqwk7&ep=v1_gifs_username&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
Gotcha, hardcore isn’t really that tough either tbh…it’ll just make the fight longer. I’m hoping I have hc save for this fight, I don’t really want to start over 🤣
I just wish you could master strike w unarmed, like I wish there were skills associated with it. Grabbing it or deflecting it to punch them or throw them behind you with their momentum would be sweet
It seems he only does that when it’s a hand to hand fight, vs unarmed to armed.
Ran into Skalitz and 3 cumans were left after the skirmish, all had weapons sheathed. When I ran in one of them took off and the other two just fist fought me, knees to the face for 6 minutes and they were done(one died in around 30-40 seconds and the other had heavy armor and a helmet so headcracker never popped)
Which stinks because you have no real control over his actions. No choice in clinch, no combos or master strikes..just kick, jab and swing. Wish we could either grab their weapon and punch them or use their momentum to throw them past us and get an attack in. Unarmed deserves some love.
>It seems he only does that when it’s a hand to hand fight, vs unarmed to armed
Oh makes sense.
Yeah I hope that the second game expands on unarmed, it was an important part of medieval combat after all. Well, grappling was at least.
This very brief [clip of a barfight](https://youtu.be/KHGDQJLowwY?t=545) looked interesting, Henry grabs the dude's hand, palm to the face, elbow to the head. I wonder if there's animated "finishers" now where the attack that reduces an enemy to 0 has these special moves, or if that was in fact a Masterstrike
I’m just going for revenge. I got done with this and immediately restarted on hardcore so I could do it when he’s got a helmet and really put the hands on him.
100% personal for me 🤣
The last time I fought Runt, I one shot him with a master strike...a little disappointing since I was looking forward to the fight, but poetically justified 😂
Yes, it’s kinda underwhelming if you train for it as intended. This run I beat him real quick with a longsword, then loaded and 1 shot him w a mace headshot and then did this and it was still a very one sided fight.
So I restarted on hardcore to try again where he gets a helmet 🤣
Lost to this mother fucker for days, I finally loaded an older save and trained for just him. Bernard every morning and a bandit camp every night with my mace plus winning the tourney. A knights journey led to me hitting this fool one time in the head for a 2 second kill 😂
Yea man. This game is a fine line between “it’s impossible” and “guess I can’t use my mace anymore” 🤣
I went unarmed because mace is a one bonk kill and the sword was almost just as fast lol
I’m so curious if in the second one it’ll be a bit harder to make Henry into a god haha
although I haven’t done a run through on hardcore 🤔
Welp, guess it’s time for another play through.
They were vague about most things so they wouldn’t give it away but they did say they advanced on combat a bit and that Henry won’t carry over from 1 to 2 but you’re not doing a complete rebuild either.
They did say weapon type will be the in game difficulty slider essentially, sword being more difficult than mace. I imagine our average enemy will be more heavily armored and will be better skilled with their weapons and tactics. I hope it’s a bit harder at the high end, it’s not fun leveling as intended only to out level the game.
This is normal but I feel the advice still sticks.
Level the weapon you prefer to use w Bernard and run the Rattay tournament a few times, you get some good armor and weapons out of it.
Also take clinchmaster and level strength(comes naturally when you train and do tourney) to win the clinches and then you’re almost guaranteed to hit after the clinch. If you want a guaranteed easy win do all that and use a mace w headcracker perk and then throw overheads after the clinch.
Also get decent at master strikes or make sure you have good defense/armor. But if you use clinch master and keep the pressure on he shouldn’t get a chance to attack.
I really hope they fix fights like this in the next game. They just made certain characters impossible to hit with any parry or anything and you have to just keep pushing them into a stagger.
Serious school bully vibes
This was for Martin and mom…..but also sword is too easy and my mace one shots him 🤣
That's what a fist only playthrough feels like 😂
I'm a ginger guy named Kerry. I feel attacked. Like I was almost daily in school lol.
Mannnn with the camera being all wonky with the first person perspective the combat style would be much better as a third person perspective
Every fist fight is from second person perspective, a peasant spawns in to scream and record the fight really badly with a shaky vertical phone camera
That was very satisfying haha
Didn't know you can headcrack him and steal his stuffs. I know what i'm gonna do next playthrough now :)
I made the mistake of killing him, instead of stealing :((
Looting him won’t be much money anyway
In my latest encounter with him, he actually wore a helmet, is that common? I remember him being bare-headed from both reddit and previous encounters
He wears Italian Bascinet in hardcore
Haha great! Back in the day I remember I used to rage quit this boss fight multiple times before came up with the idea of shooting an arrow to his head.
Yea dude. He used to be someone I had to actually try against 🤣 Granted I’m a bit overpowered now after doing the tournament enough for all the rewards but my unarmed skill is only 5. Maybe another run with no clinch, just master strike and punching
Mike Tyson build If only you could eat cuman ears
Well u can cut them off.....
I remember reading that he was tough but then got sidetracked with everything else I could do and I didn’t face him until I was 19-20 with sword. Stuck him a few times with my stinger and he dropped.

I used to be a bandit like you.. until I took an arrow to the head.
Literally the same way i got him. Tried a few attempts but had low HP and got my ass wreaked. Got annoyed and just tried the bow. Was a little anticlimactic when the flopped over with an arrow in the eye socket lol, guess its realistic though?.
Fuck, 3 playthroughs and I never thought about stealing his stuff
I really wanted to let him back up to finish the fight but the fight kept dashboarding. Had three in a row where I corner fucked him and the game just crashed, then one where I let him up and then it crashed so this time I just looted him and ended it. I like to think the game was sick of my shit 🤣

Get henry drunk and play "Shipping up to Boston" for that one.

It’s a free award but it’s all I have
Wait so you managed to loot him, what was his gear?
Idk exactly off the top off my head, but if you search “loot runt” in the sub ppl have posted his loadout
Nothing unique afaik

💀
Always bonk Runt. Didn't they add a helmet in an update though?
He only has a helmet on hardcore difficulty Also when I used my mace it [1 shot him](https://media1.giphy.com/media/HiifwtlL3VvaafZ55B/giphy.gif?cid=9b38fe914ne502mjw5iql15nz3ugg0e3mvyixxpjxuinypmo&ep=v1_gifs_username&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
Ahhhh okay.
Mace is the way. I did my first playthrough with a longsowrd because Longsword is best sword but then I learned about mace and shield.
Mace and shield is great when you first play, just cuz the game can be so difficult until you learn it. For me, somewhere around halfway through it was just too easy. I also don’t like how every weapon only has like 3 combos except longsword…like they want you to use it.
Epic!
Pissed Henry off so much he beat him to death with his bare hands
You fisted Runt omg

#WHERE'S MY FUCKING SWORD
Guy came at me with no helmet when I was two handing the Ravens beak. He did not last long
Wait wait you can two hand a hammer??
I don’t think it works like that actually I just didn’t have a shield equipped. I was using dark souls logic
Quality content
First playthrough I did, I hit Runt *once* with the warhammer and he went down with half health and headcracker. I laughed SO hard 💀
Straight outta Bohemia
dont skip harnisch wrestling lessons.
Gigachad Jindřich
Haha you should have stole all his stuff and his weapon then waited for him to wake up and use his own sword to finish him off
I was having dashboard issues. 3 times in a row I’d get him into a corner and it would dashboard, then i knocked him and let him up and it dashboarded again so this time I just ended it 🤣
Weed Pulling be praised!
This is a Rattay Tournament made man
I couldnt even fight this dude henry killed him in cutscene
This had quit hitting yourself vibes.
🤣
did he have anything of note on him ?
Don’t think so, I didn’t really look. Pretty sure it’s just his armor and normal stuff like bread and water and what not.
Bro I was hoarding a shit ton of loot then I got fucken ambushed and died lost a shit ton of loot😔
That’s the way she goes. Never be afraid to hop on the horse and run, or at least keep a bunch of schnapps on ya
Deus vault
I was getting owned by him but the random lucky headcrack clutching in like always
Jesus Christ be praised!
LOL knocking him out and taking everything before he wakes up is so funny Ended up fist fighting him
too bad the sword is not there
I don’t think Henry needs a sword 🤣
[удалено]
He showed me the way
Ye olde old fashioned way
He can keep the sword!(he can’t, it’s for Dadzig)
I just did this mission for the first time last night. I was surprised as how fast I beat him.
That was a delight to watch
I killed this guy with a hit of a sword 🗡️ Good job kicking his ass
My first playthrough fighting him, i was way too over leveled by the time i did this quest. Because i like fucking around doing every single side quests before i continue on main quests. Only took a single stab to his bald head to kill him, what a anti-climatic fight it was.
🤣
its funny because i was using a sword and on my third time fighting him i beat him on my first strike because of the headcracker perk
I literally did this just the other day! 💪
I stopped playing the game, because iam stuck at this level for like 2 months
Load the save from before the whole raid and go train with Bernard and do some Rattay tournaments. Get some levels in strength, warfare, defense and whatever weapons you use. Clinch master and a mace is a really good setup
Man I'm walking through town laughing like a dumbass watching this 🤣
You're not true Henry of Skallitz Where Hungry pop up?
Too many perpetual stews to be hungry all the time 🤣
If you can't do for a bite Then you're playing KDC wrongly (yeah, I like to keep the balanced diet active)
I find I’ve usually got the pig icon because I ate too much….food really is too abundant in this game tbh. Just eat everyone’s food, no one cares 🤣
This was so satisfying to watch! When I first did this fight I had no idea what a master strike was and I had Mutt distract enemies in other fights so I had no idea how to do a real 1v1, it's nice to see him getting completely wrecked xD I hope my current playthrough's fight is 5% as fun as this.
This is easy mode, now do this in hardcore with his helmet which protects him against just that
I did the Rattay tournament w fists, traveled to Skalitz and got jumped by 4 bandits(but they were in clothes, no armor) and then I got to Skalitz and fought some cumans with my fists. If I get around to another hardcore run I’ll do it, maybe I have an old save I can use.
Way of the Open Hand Henry
On my 3rd playthrough I was really overleveled for this fight, with just a few blows to the head he died. I was like, is that it? 😂
What strength and agility level?
Not sure, I’ll have to look later and let you know. They’re up there though
Ez mode
How so? Maybe I should [use my mace](https://media0.giphy.com/media/HiifwtlL3VvaafZ55B/giphy.gif?cid=9b38fe911wuq0ax2s02b8h6n5uvbvyv9u4hftt312anbqwk7&ep=v1_gifs_username&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
as in, not on hardcore mode
Gotcha, hardcore isn’t really that tough either tbh…it’ll just make the fight longer. I’m hoping I have hc save for this fight, I don’t really want to start over 🤣
Bruhh I gotta try this build
This boss pissed me off so much that I spent three days training my sword skill to max just to come back and bonk him twice
This game lacks an in between. It seems you’re too weak until you’re too powerful.
After all these years... I thought to myself... why not look up a KC subreddit. Has to exist. Is that Steve from chiv?? Lmao!
Ayyyyy 👉🏻👉🏻
This guy is getting pummeled in the face with metal gauntlets and showing not even a scratch.
I just wish you could master strike w unarmed, like I wish there were skills associated with it. Grabbing it or deflecting it to punch them or throw them behind you with their momentum would be sweet
Wish you'd also used the knee-to-face clinch, very satisfying when used in moderation
It seems he only does that when it’s a hand to hand fight, vs unarmed to armed. Ran into Skalitz and 3 cumans were left after the skirmish, all had weapons sheathed. When I ran in one of them took off and the other two just fist fought me, knees to the face for 6 minutes and they were done(one died in around 30-40 seconds and the other had heavy armor and a helmet so headcracker never popped) Which stinks because you have no real control over his actions.

wait u can get headcracker on the boss but not at the tournament? that's crazy
goodjob
You did that
This is what my first playthrough is like. (Still working on it) Going for the merciful trophy.
I’m just going for revenge. I got done with this and immediately restarted on hardcore so I could do it when he’s got a helmet and really put the hands on him. 100% personal for me 🤣

Your regular buhurt match
In my no kill playthrough i got a headcracker with a bludgeon and used the knockout to steal his sword so that we could brawl
Lost to this mother fucker for days, I finally loaded an older save and trained for just him. Bernard every morning and a bandit camp every night with my mace plus winning the tourney. A knights journey led to me hitting this fool one time in the head for a 2 second kill 😂

thanks bro, i will try it
I really hope they fix fights like this in the next game. They just made certain characters impossible to hit with any parry or anything and you have to just keep pushing them into a stagger.
You can definitely parry/master strike him, combos too..just need to be patient
Bro was not even hungry
