This is a fantastic "starting point" for this versatile armor setup. I wanted to give a guide that was recreatable for everyone on every playthrough. There are some better pieces (such as coif that is 13/13 vis con) but they require a bit of RNG to acquire. Any pieces you find with better stats feel free to replace, this just sets a great foundation! Enjoy!

Every RPG build will come back to the stealth archer

insane, 2 visibility 0 noise with some pretty good defense, didnt even know that was possible, nice video

This is like a medieval Batman build

Armor Needed 1. Mail Coif 2. Saxon Gauntlets 3. Short Brigandine Chausses 4. Simple Plate Pauldrons 5. Bell-Shaped Kettle Hat 6. Quiet Dark Shoes 7. Padded Black Coif 8. Decorated Black Hose 9. Necklace 10. Golden Spurs 11. Dark Saxon Gambeson 12. Black Hood 13. Padded Chausses 14. Signet Ring 15. Aachen Dark brigandine

The most important stat is looking good. I always choose that over actual stats. I did the same thing with Bernard to damage leg items. I would hold the run button so I am not locked on, then jump as he swung at me. Another reason to ditch chainmail is that it's heavy. Equipped weight impacts your run speed.

Just started a new playthrough of KCD after never having finished it on last gen. Seeing these recent, new, interesting, and well put together videos on the game is awesome, and watching them is truly a joy. Thanks, and best wishes on your YT journey ❤

I enjoyed getting full plate and being a knight but I have to say my favoruite moments were mid game wearing clothing/medium armor. It felt more 'Henry'

Thanks man! This armour set is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

i love your tutorial, it's clear, you can find easilly each points, great work !

Pretty much best set in the game. Thanks for the share. You got yourself a sub.

This looks almost exactly like my loadout on my first-ever playthrough. Good to know my instincts were good! One difference was that I wore the buttoned grey cotehardie, which goes in the chainmail slot but shouldn't make any noise with the perk loadout you selected. It's just clothing so it probably doesn't make a big difference to stats though.

Thank you. Just bought the RE on sale and will definitely try out this build. I’m not looking forward to the combat so really looking for the easiest experience possible.

This is an AWESOME guide !! Thank you

I beat the game on hardcore with all negative perks today. I learned how to master strike like a boss and ride across the whole map without ever looking at it. I just have to finish an illiterate, no killing, virgin run to 100% the achievements

This is a great guide, very well done 😊 I'm going to check out a few more of your videos next. Also the sprinter/ 7 mile boots are one of my fav perk combos and your maintenance recommendations are some staple perks for me!

There's another variant of the brigandine that has very slightly lower vis/con and noise, you'll notice it has sort of burgundy colored leather straps.

I didn't think this would work that well. The testing at the camps was unbelievable

Regarding the stolen tags, if you have the coin, you can sell the stolen good to a fence and just buy them back at a mark up and remove the stolen tag.

I also use 0 noise armor set. Though there are some different pieces. I like the look of skull cap and saxon chausses paired with slippers more. Its just so fun shooting heavily armored knights with bane poisoned arrows inside a forest. They drop like flies and they can't even find you. 😂

Masterpice game! Thanks Man!

Thank you so much!!! This is just insane.

I usually used the tight black hose but recently have found the decorated to be worth the trade-off. Gotta be stylin'!

this was really helpful, and also fun to watch! I'm def subbing. Can't wait for more

Amazing content. Thanks for all your effort. Looking forward to what you’re gonna put out for KC:D2. Can’t wait!

Great tips, thanks

Solid content mi amigo!

Griff what's the music you have in the background near the end of this video? It's wonderful. I want this soundtrack for my ttrpg games.

Dude the first 2 minutes of this video made me laugh out loud. I won’t be satisfied if in KCD2 I can’t interrogate a herbalist with the dialogue option of saying “where are the drugs going #&@% face!?”

Or just swap between plate armor and stealth armor. Also you can have around 14-18 charisma with plate set.

By the way your channel is great!

Lol, I put together an almost identical set when I played myself two years ago, I even remember how I tried on the coif of that guy from the arena. True, my set weighed less with a little less protection, and the helmet was different

Lol, really? People, who play KCD don't use armor and clothing in different situations? **facepalm**

This is so OP. I JUST STARTED THE GAME DANG...

The red lines are ery helpfull!

7:28 if you go there at night, they’re all asleep except for a few on guard and when they go to bed they put their gear in a chest in the camp. So even if they wake up they aren’t wearing armor.

I pissed myself laughing at the start

12:45 Henry was asking what it meant to be put into the stocks for sodomy. Thanks for explaining it to him 😂

Great video. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but visibility and conspicuous are still very high.

Just from the first 30 seconds... SOLD - sub'd Brilliant and well played, Sir

thx I'm gonna use this on my main world or run or something

Nice guide, thank you so much. Btw please do you know why golden spurs and the necklace are giving 1 charisma only after bath services? When those buff drops (full service & cut) charisma is not increased and it's better for me to unequip it. Visibility and conspic is even lower without those equiped.

I dont use heavy armor if you have skills you dont need heavy armor i use just leather armor with better dodge perk and its much better than full plate of course if i get hit its hurt much more but for master strike light armor is essencial. And very important is to choose weapon for combat if you fight guy with full plate better use hammer/axe if you fight light armored sword do the thing axes and maces take more stamina but you can execute easly skull crasher i think there is lot of hidden stats of weapons if i use mace or axe 6 out 10 attack perform skull crasher, if i was using sword it was like 2-3 attack sometimes none.

Currently in my second play through of kingdom Come. First time was on a Xbox one X , I liked it but 30 fps wasn’t very enjoyable. A month ago I remember and decided to try on pc , since I have a maxed out pc build and it allows me to play it at very high fps. This time I decided to make myself a “fantasy” “Isekai” build. What does this means? I took the fighting related stats: strength , Defence ,Agility , Sword , Bow, Axes etc And maxed them out using console commands , I also unlocked all available Perks for them since the beginning of the game using console commands. On top of that I added 18k groschen to make sure I had more than enough to buy all the most expensive armour and weapons and out everything on me. I was overpowered and armed to my teeth. And what I find curious , is that this made me fall in love with the game , because it wasn’t that enough. The game wasn’t that simple. Even with the weakest bandits , I depended on my dog biting their legs , for me to hit them from behind and kill them. I was thinking: this game’s combat most be broken , even with maxed out stats , I can barely handle peasants. And I’m royally screwed when 2 or more actually armored soldiers attack me simultaneously. So i researched combat tutorials on KZfaq and realized I had no clue of how the fighting system actually worked XD I didn’t earned my stats , so I didn’t practiced and learned all the combos I unlocked with console commands. And now I didn’t had anyone to teach me , because if I talk to them , they will tell me “me teach you? But you already know everything” So I realized how ridiculously heavy my build was and made it agile , still on the heavy side , because I’m focused on a knight long sword build. But I made it more mobile. And then I learned all the Long sword combos. Also learned to just swap to a good old mace when surrounded by several well armored bandits. I also feel the game scales a bit with your level , because the amount of almost Kinightly armored bandits I find , is not normal for an otherwise ultra realistic game. So long story short , it felt like I lived an actual short story with a moral behind it, where someone is granted superpowers , but it’s useless anyway for not knowing how to use them, so he has to put some work to actually get good. Never decided to actually restart the game without unlocking skills , because it just doesn’t fits a person like me that has at best an hour to play in 1 day , maybe 3 -4 days a week. It would take me almost half a year to have a half decent set of skills and armour. Getting on to grind for an hour and get off is not fun for me. That’s why i always appreciate games having a easy/story mode. I’m no longer a teen that can sunk 80% of his days in a videogame. But sometimes it does gets boring how big the difference between normal and easy is. I loved kingdom come this way. Challenging in terms of having to know the gameplay to win fights , but I skipped the grinding part wich I hate

One of the few channels I actually clicked on like and sub when asked about. Defiantly gonna try this set in my next play-through. Seems a lot more convenient then two sets, the constant switching (and the every now and then accidental selling of one part xD). You put some real effort in this, well done!! -edit- Holy s%(t that set effect is waaaaaay to OP, hahahahahaha, briljant

I love this guide, been working towards this armour build. I took the Rainman stealth perk too cos the 30% less noise when raining is actually very underrated, given how much it actually rains when you head into the forests. I can sit in front of someone in the dark when raining, they alook right at me and cannto see me. I sit there and put arrows up nostrils without detection. Have a sub for giving me a fun concept to do a playthrough with.

I now have this set-up. Everything is the same, except the Aachen Dark Brigandine, which has a vis-con of 38-45, 39 noise and 15 CHR. So a better version than you're showing here. But my standard vis-con (before the Forester perk kicks in) is 27-31. Higher than yours. Except the end result IS the same - a vis-con of 2-6, and 0 noise. So now I'm wondering what the difference is.

Who needs visibility or conspicuous stats to be at 0? Ride around them for 2-3 mins. They'll just disengaged and do nothing towards you and walk away. Than you strike. Almost like they never saw you. 😂

In treasure map 3 is the dark brown brigandine the black one has more noise

U say it's optional but the Forester perk is a must for this build. That is the only perk I don't have & still have a vis/con in the 20s

Idk plate pauldrons have the same name but it has higher noise lvl , a bought some leather blackened ones instead

The guy that plays dice is not there for me, I tried several times but never found the right guy sleeping. Great guide ❤Love the content 😊

is there other ways to to find the black coif on so thanks

Hello Griff, I have followed this guide now and I still have 5 noise. I dont know what im missing 😅 any advice?

Im following the guide rn and I noticed that the "Simple plate pauldrons" have 74 noise instead of 66. All other stats are the same. I assume the info on the wiki is incorrect.

Nice video buddy

I actually gravitate to that every playthrough just switching to much secondary chestplate when Aachen gets too damaged.

I use this fo my robber knight build: black chaperon (the bandit leader from the camp near Sasau has one) padded coif (the 13/13 one) noble's mail coif dark combat jacket (high level bandits from skalitz) dark milanese brigandine (not sure if it can be bought, but you also find that on skalitz bandits) dark saxon gambeson hunter's gloves magdeburg plate pauldrons (high level bandits too) noble's dark shoes green nobleman's hose no chainmail (too noisy) or leg armor (mostly useless, melee opponents don't target legs) stealth stats (without forester perk but with stuffing + slim fit) visibility:29 conspic. :34 noise: 0 It can reach 20 charisma easily with bathhouse buffs and flower power. Somehow you can get 0 noise even with the magdeburg plate pauldrons. You can swap them with cuman vambraces if you want to proc light armor perk, but they gives slightly worse vis/conspic/charisma stats (and dodge is kinda useless when you have riposte)

so why do you do the short brigadine chausis rather then the riveted decorated chausis? the decorated ones seem better in every way from the stat description?

i cant find the darker padded chausses help me please

Yo I'm actually from Aachen, funny that they put armor from here into the game 😁

I love looking at different builds but why do i always end up as a chad knight in full plate everytime i do a new playthrough?

hey griff i found a better Aathen dark brigendine i got is of a bandit it has 38/45 and noise of 39 better the one you found

Great, that's juicy information thanks, u have my 👍.

can i use house of zoul pieces..?

Just bought the game and I'm gonna try to use this build.

Why not to use classic padded coif with vis/con 12/12 and the same armour? The black one has 24/22 doesn't really make much sence

Playing with grand bacinet and long talberg waffenrock , cuz it is look cool.

The price for the first 4 items aren’t the same for me its about 5k but im assuming its because im trying to do everything before I start the first mission of the main quest

Just so you know. You can sell any stolen gear to the miller and then buy it back. That way you remove the stolen tag as you actually bought the thing.

Solid.

damn it's already going to be 6 years this game was released

I am planning on replaying this so will try this

Or you could just be a total Chad Knight like me sporting the Lords of Leipa/Zoul Knight armor mix, and when you want to be stealthy you just unequip it all

This is possibly the most enjoyable armor set up with 20 in all stats 0 noise and con

i found simple plate pauldrons in the shop but they have 74 noise not 66 but all other stats are the same as shown on the video, are their more variants or did warhorse change the value, also what else can i ware if not for the simple plate pauldrons.

Imo you can get some pretty nice charisma by only sacrificing some protection like I don't weak a helmet cause I'm just badass like that so a bailiffs headwear is a huge boost so I can actually max charisma while having full plate and for sneaking around I just take everything off and put on a few black clothes they aren't that heavy to carry

How do you get the overlay that shows us the stats of the items and the price.

very god video

I’ve already killed black Peter and am doing this afterwards so I’m not sure where to get the coif and padded chauses

I've won one tourney and went down there and black pete wasn't down there? Help.

I've been playing the game at a whole lower level...still great fun tho

so without getting slim fit i already have 0 noise with the maintinence perks. so i dont think slim fit actually does anything in this setup

will the perks for repairing your own gear wear off if you later go and get them repaired by a shop? or do they stay

Mega armour guide, got any more? 🤔

Awesome video, I only wish the timeline was separated for each piece of gear or set of gear if you can get multiple pieces doing a single thing. I keep needing to come back to it as I get more pieces to see if the piece I have is the correct one, and scrolling through that long "Pieces of gear needed" section takes a while 🙂

We forgot about polearms they are like death sentence for light and heavy armor but one disadvantage you are very vurneable and cannot perform combos i dont remember if you can do master stikes 🤔 but polearms are good for heavy armored and perfect for keep distance from 2-3 attackers just sad you cant store the in you inventory but be realistic you cant put polearms in your pocket or chesta😅

I manage to win in archery on console and i felt like a warrior cause its so hard to do

7:43 "He's weak to stabs in the face" Yeah, me too buddy

when starting the game and arriving in talmberg, as soon as everyone is called out the castle at night, go into the left guard tower at the top, there will be exactly one person in the castle asleep and in the area. he has basically all the gear you need or at least a LOT of it

Now if only i was a great sword fighter at this game

That black peter guy wasnt so tough in my game. Hes just very good with his blocking, with the clinch master perk you can bully the shit out of him

Do I have to complete the quest and winn the tutornement before killing this one guy because I tried this and I didn't made the quest and just lost in the tutornement and no one was there (sorry for the bad language but I am a nativ german specer and weren't really interested at english in school)

How often do you have to apply the perks to the gear though? is it frequent?

BADMAN MENTIONED

I always just went with what looks the best anyway 😄 screw the stats.

Some of these items can actually be collected early in the game. The mail coif for instance can be nicked off one of the two cumans you run into when going to hunt with Hans Capon. The padded black coif can be nicked off the bandit right next to the gate of Skalitz when you go back to bury your parents during the prologue. The dark padded chausses are easier to get from the two bandits in the woods when you investigate the attack on Neuhof. There's also an easy way to get the Aachen dark brigandine very early. When Robard wakes you up in Talmberg during the Prologue, don't go straight to the Battlements. There is a single soldier sleeping in the left tower that you can choke and nick the Brigandine off. Later in the game I would also substitute the short brigandines for the dark variant of the Saxon composite brigandines. Better protection with practically no loss of stealth. Quite a few bandits in the Pribyslavitz camp carry those. As for a helmet, you can switch the kettle helmet for a Cuman shishak if you fancy more protection at a minimum loss of stealth.

I wonder what the total result would be to swap out Black hood with the black Monk's habit. The habit has 15/13 Vis/Con and only 2 Charisma but with dark gloves and shoes, Henry is shrouded head to toe with only his face exposed. The NPC make frequent remarks that he needs to return to the monastery, but while that gets annoying, I haven't seen where it makes any difference to the gameplay.

I went into this bandit camp at night in stealth with 0/0/0 and still had to fight! 2 dead 3 alive, they did find the body, I reckon it was AI "pathing" always know how to find you. Just got unlucky I think. The potions mixed with water though, that was game changer! That's some nice work mate, keep it up!

Got everything except for the black hood, anyone got a good spot for that? (I'm early game, haven't found Black Peter yet)
