I hear Henry gets Theresa's nails and then gets to nail Theresa.

Heads up for you - instead of fighting and losing to Kunesh - if you put 2 points into Speech at the beginning of the game - you can succeed on the speech check - but Kunesh still won't give you anything. So you can go inside and still trigger the lockpick quest by approaching the chest.

1. You can train hunting by knocking down sheeps 2. You can store gears in Henry's own chest, which will survive the raid, just remember to pick them back before you interact with the grave 3. if being too encumbered to move at all, take Gravedigger perk, dump your gear to some "body", and carry him/her instead ;)

All the patches on the xbox are as follows. 1: Skalitz can be cleaned of chests, it is possible still to lockpick all of them 2: Kunish cannot be used to get better stats 3: In the "Run" sequence it is not possible to kill the cumens 4: Talimborg can still be fully cleaned, just that since you cannot ride olena while overencumbered, you will have to walk everywhere very slowly, but it is still doable. Just get all the gear and once you leave talimborg walk all the way to the inn outside of talimborg and rent a room, then stuff all excess gear in there in the chest in your room. It will save so don't worry. Then just proceed the quest on foot. 5: The st george loot has been patched it is no longer there. (TL,DR: only the lockpicking in this guide work nothing else.)

FYI It is still possible (Oct2019) to steal everything from Talmburg overloaded and take the horse even though the horses now wont let you ride overloaded. Do the following: Steal everything in Talmburg and stash it in the chests as is indicated in this guide Mount your horse and ride to the gate Get off the horse and talk your way out Ride the horse out only a couple of steps, get off and walk back in the castle before the gate closes Go pickup all your loot Walk (overloaded) back to the gate and the guard will let you out a second time Leave the horse where it is and walk down to the inn Hire a room and dump everything in your chest there Go back up and collect your horse Grats

Here are a couple of points I'd like to add to this: 1. Placing any gear in the boxes that say "open" rather than "rob" is safe. Don't even need to sneak to take the stolen goods. Just remember to take everything back before exiting the castle. 2. When going to Skalitz - go left to the small bridge. There is a chest with good gear under the bridge and a bunch of bandits in the compound - one of the bandits carries a "duelist" longsword

Unfortunately some of this stuff has been patched as I’ve discovered so far. You can’t use Kunesh as a pin cushion and you can’t ride that horse if you are over burdened, it won’t let you mount. Probably best to put this in your title.

A lot of this stuff has been patched. Sorry guys. You can still get the save file. Save file is up (REQUIRES DLC): www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance/mods/382/

Thanks for the guide. I play for PS4 and after patch 1.8.2 three things cannot be done anymore [patched out] but still managed to make some money selling loot: [1] Train your STR, AGI and weapons at Kunesh, sadly; [2] Ride your horse while emcumbered; [3] And the entire chest NE of Neuhof with the St. George's sword. Also, for those with difficulty in lockpicking, I play KCD for PS4. There is a house that has a "Very Easy" locked door in front of the Deutchs house. I trained there. Unlocked and waited for him to go about his chores and return. Everytime he'd leave, he'd lock the door and I could repeat. It took me a while to get all the way to lv3 at Lockpicking [maybe 40 minutes] and once I did, I chose the "Lasting Pick" perk and al the Easy and Hards started to become "easy". Now I even go about "Very Hard" locks with no problem. I broke only 2 picks this way. Try this!

All of the endgame gear (like St. George’s sword) has since been patched out. You can no longer obtain them until the epilogue. If you visit the campsite outside Neuhof at any point before then, it will just be a tent with some blankets on the ground.

New location for St. George's Sword, Kuttenberg Cuirass 431.3 coin etc. North/North West of Ledetchko City. In a Woodland Garden. Treasure Chest (Hard) VII Lockpicking 3+ Recommended. Treasure Map VII not needed but it is in Monastery's Library. Coordinates 1861,1520. Your welcome!

Update: Kunesh can no longer to hit, stab any weapon anymore, it just not leveling up skills no matter you hold sword or axe

Just as a heads up, after a recent patch several things about this guide have changed. 1. Olean the horse will no longer be where you left her before the cutscene and burying your parents portion. 2. The chest at the camp with St. George's sword was removed in a patch, now the camp is empty.

Another important thing you forgot. You can purchase a horse from any stable when you wake up in Rattay which there’s really no point in having Olena, plus you get a different cutscene when your chasing a boar with Sir Hans on a Hunting quest

Tip for choking out a guard. As soon as your opening dialog with mom ends, make an instant sprint for the gate between the blacksmit area and the main part of town and you will get there before a guard does. Wait in the entry way on the town side and wait for him to pass under. Then choke him out. If it fails, it's the beginning of the game, so who cares. Just keep trying till you succeed.

There’s also a great chest to the left of skalitz. It’s by the first house with smoke coming out of the chimney. You walk over the bridge and then turn right as soon as you get passed the bridge and turn sharp. It’s right there. Has 2k worth of inventory.

If you succed in the speech check with Kunesh (3), he won't fight you, but won't give you his keys either. Afterwards you'll get the option to ask Fritz for lockpicks when you check the chest.You don't have to lose to Kunesh if you want the lockpicks from Fritz.

If you do the horse fight once, you'll be able to do it easily from the on. The key is managing how long your kite range is. At first ride back and forth a long distance (see how far you can ride toward the cutscene start without actually triggering it). That way more of them will loose aggro and you can wound/kill them easily. When there are 2-4 left reduce the range because there likely won't be any archers left and you won't be able to lose aggro from them. It's easier to hit them on the right side so try to align them on that side. Those are my tips. Thanks Wanderer for this guide!

this is so very useful for people who just want to experience the story or just want to kick the arse out of the game. for everyone else: i recommend taking it slowly. make mistakes and live by them. pick flowers on the way.

you don't have to fight kunesh to get lockpicks, just talk to him and say that your father will hear of this, then go to the chest to get the lockpick mission

Also, a good idea if you want to max Stealth is to simply walk past the trader in their one trade house and into the back area, then sneak upstairs. Since they aren't programmed to sleep yet, you can keep sneaking around this upstairs area and it will count towards your Stealth skill, and with it being upstairs it is harder to get caught by people from outside.

This is a very detailed and well-made guide, thank you for uploading! I decided to go with it for the first playthrough, after some hefty hours of frustration. The game is truly challenging as it is, and as there are no difficulty settings, some nerfing is welcome :D At least until one gets familiar with the mechanics.

Even though they removed the kunesh exploit, I discovered another way to raise stats. Not weapon skills though, but your main stats. I am hesitant to reveal it here though, in case it gets nerfed! Anyway, here it is.... Punching sheep. First you have to get some of them trapped. You can do this at any time. You herd the sheep through the gate toward your house. You wont get all of them, but you dont have to. Once you have herded several of them through the gate, go in and herd them toward your house, but staying along the wall and moving toward the area between your house and the wall. There is a small area next to the house there where if you work at it, u can get a few sheep to fall into and they become trapped. Once you have trapped a few of them, you can hop down and punch away. They get knocked out and u only gain skill when you hit them while they are up. It takes awhile but you can do it as long as you want. Skills you gain from it: Unarmed Hunting Str, agi, vitality Warefare Main. You get alot of exp from sheep surprisingly, but it still takes awhile to raise the skills since you have to wait for sheep to wake up after knocking them out. Make sure no one can see you do it, even your parents. I did knock out a sheep a few times near my mother that was running about. I have a reputation hit when I got to rattay, and I think that was the cause. But Im not sure. Still better to not let them see it, just in case. If you use a weapon you would probably kill them, and thus end the exploit. I havent tested that, I just assume it would kill them.

came here for the info, stayed to watch kunesh get jabbed over and over again.

The Wanderer, could you do a new version of the best possible start in KCD?

"Master Stroke." I never knew Henry could be a painter, this game just keeps on surprising me. Kappa

I recently discovered a nifty little trick to do if your having trouble lockpicking on PS4 what you need to do is keep entering and exiting the lock until you get a start point riiiiiiight at the edge of the inner wheel (indicated by a massive start dot) it doesn't make it a guaranteed pick but it does make it a HELL of a lot easier.

You can use the cows in Skalitz to grind weapon skills, strength and agility since they respawn at a really fast rate, I personally got to level 8 of those perks with this and stopped cuz I can. You can cook and sell their meat for around 50 groshcen

RIP the end of this guide, they patched out the chest at the end.

Only problem is it's STILL nearly impossible to pick locks with controller, but that's not your fault.

The the hours of editing must have surpassed the play time this is so well edited.

One of the most helpful things I learned about the combat system, don't try to finish a combo if an enemy interrupts it. Very quick way to die.

“Lockpicking on console is so easy” said no one ever

if you are going to place items in the chest at the house? then do not leave items in the chest in the back room. the chest there goes missing when you return to skalitza

@ THE WANDERER - to get an Axe go to the gate in the stockade, near to the back of Kunesh the drunk's house. There just off to the side are some villagers working the fields - the guy nearest to the gate, who is working a field on his own has an Axe . Wait till the other two villagers are not looking in your direction (and there are no random wandering NPC's nearby - as sometimes happens), then stealth 'take-down' on him and loot his stuff which includes the Axe. The Guard at that gate is almost always on his own so by far the easiest to knock out without getting caught. However his gear appears to be somewhat randomised (yes I know you Americans spell this with a 'z' not an 's' - the same as you mispronounce 'herbalism' and 'beta' and don't get me started on how you misspell 'colour'); sometimes you get a sword off him but other times it is a mace or a pole arm? :-) Why would you carry on using OLENA until you get to the part of the main quest line where you get PEBBLES? With all that loot and money from selling the loot, surely you just ride OLENA to a Horse Trader as soon as you can, and buy a Horse that you can whistle up and access the inventory of? It is likely that the horse you buy will have better stats than PEBBLES anyway (if you chose with a bit of care when Horse buying)? It will also make the 'hunting with Sir Capon' quest easier, having a horse v's not having one?

This guide will come in super handy when I buy the game.

Interestingly enough, there is little exploit. When you go to bury your parents and fight the guy with shovel. If you manage to hit him with sword enough for his stamina to go slow and he starts to walk, he has chance to get stuck on rubble at front of village gate. As long you keep attacking he should stay there long time to get you levels.

Here's how you get your best start (2022-05-06): Get herbalism to lvl 10, then get the perk for the strength. Get herbalism as high as possible (16-17) without entering the tavern area yet (ensure that the cutscene doesn't happen). Kill all regular citizen without names and choke all named citizen to steal all their belongings, then plunder their houses. Ensure that you kill all animals (sheep and cows with weapon, chicken with fist), before you trigger any cutscenes or savegames. The animals will respawn after loading a savegame and after cutscenes. Therefore, whenever a cutscene ist trough, kill all the animals again. If there's an autosave or you save manually, load immediatly after, then kill all animals. Always take the meat. Ensure that you loot at least 2 guards with bows (reloading can change their type between halberd and bow type). Put on arm protection and use half your arrows (not more!) to train bow on the sheep to lvl 2. If you get hurt or start bleeding, your mom can heal you. Cooking stolen food removes the stolen tag and they can be sold. Don't eat any food, instead eat out of all cooking pots from the NPC houses. Buy all Saviour Schnapps. When you're done with everything, you should still have around 10 Saviour Schnapps and the merchants shouldn't have any gold nor Savior Schnapps left. Save before giving the nails to the girl. For the first cuman, you wait in front of the bush on the wall in stealth mode, until he passes. Then you try to sneak-kill him from behind. If that fails, he drops his sword, then it's an easy fight against him. Just press 1 to draw your sword and he won't be able to fight you with his fists at all. Loot everything, put on his complete armour set, then run to your horse, but DON'T sit on the horse! Behind your horse is a cart. Stand at the end of the wood plank pile next to it and jump on the cart. Equip your bow, draw your bow, optionally, save here. Wait until all enemies are right next to the cart. Those with halbers/swords can't attack you. Prioritize those with bows, since they can harm you. If they are right next to the cart, it's very easy to shoot their face. You can also loot them for additional arrows. When all enemies are dead, shoot an arrow towards the 3 cumans who molest Thabeta. They will come to the cart too, deal with them like all the other guys. Kill the 2 horses, take their saddles and equip it to your horse, to increase its carrying limit. Loot however you please, ensure that you aren't encumbered and continue to the regular path. In the next scene when you have to run away from the Cumans with the horse, before you do anything else, open your inventory, take out everything (including the saddles) from the horses inventory and put it in your own, since you won't be able to access the inventory of the horse later anymore. You will be totally encumbered, but you can still run away with the horse without any issues.

One thing i would add: After you are done with everything and start the scene where you fight your first kuman while running away. Right before take all your small and normal Repairkits (for every part of Armor) and take out all your armor and weapons out of the chest in your house. Then repair everything with the small repair kits first then switch to the normal ones. I got the repair skill threw that to 16-17. Also the infinity stabbing on Kunesch got patched.

You can get the dialogue for getting lockpicks from fritz by just telling kunesh your gonna let your dad handle it and then going to the locked chest. Also, if you talk to fritz again after getting the lockpicks, and youve already thrown poop at the duetchs house, you can ask them to "scratch your back" and the boys will go with you to beat up kunesh. Although this just gives the same result as if you beat him yourself. But you can get the lockpicks anyway, and then just dont ask him to scratch your back. It would seem that getting skills from beating up kunesh no longer works.

Lock picking on console is a joke

Remember to pick Nettles to get the hidden herbalism perk that gives +2 vitality

I like how you structured the video! You first defined very clear goals (and who doesn't want to kill the Cumans who want to rape Theresa) and then really explained everything in great detail. Brilliant! Thanks a lot for this! You just made me want to restart the game and play the whole annoying prologue again! Looks like it could be a lot of fun after all.

I'm about one third of the way through,and this option makes me want to start again.

Now after powerleveling on Kunesh was patched out you can`t even get on your horse while being overloaded. I`m sorry man. You put so much efford into this video. I tried triggering the Cuman cutscene by walking there instead of riding on my horse. Turns out your horse wont galopp if you are overloaded. I got killed naturally.

Power leveling on Kunesh does not work anymore on 1.5!

Holy crap, I didn't realize the guards are all gone during those missions. Nice. For kunesh, I kept having issues being seen besting him and shooting him. I find moving his body back in the field behind his house, about half way between the tree and the Cliff all the way to the wall is priceless. Some villagers come around the back of his shed from time to time so that extra distance is vital. Then you can beat him to your hearts content. Also a easy way to stop that rape when you get out... Before you get a horse hitting the horse call button whistles and works as a lure (which I also used to stealth kill the whole bandit town and level my stealth. Whistle in the dark, move to a ambush position as they come to where you whistled. Doesn't seem to work after you get a horse.)

Nice guide, there was one more way to become op at least some patches ago. It was thanks to bugged animation/navigation. When you talk to your marauder 'friend' near the butcher and the dog, you can intimidate him(better right after conversation), block his way somehow so he gets stuck and stops running past you. He's plot-armored invincible right now and you can give the guy all the reasons to hate you. You can punch and hit him with sword until you reach max stat. But if you open inventory or any other menu, he will teleport behind you and run away. This bug could occur once in 20-50 times, but anyway, that's how I got a nice stat boost in prologue.

Great video guide but sadly outdated now because of updates you can now longer use kunash as a pin cousin and you can't beat the cumans in the run quest they have been made stronger. You can't ride the horse when overloaded and the chest you mentioned in tamberg is now locked and lastly the horse now disappears after waking up in rattay , I carefully left the horse in safe place and went back for it and sadly it wasn't there😭

Wow ! What a wonderful tip you have given us. Thank-you for this tip.

Loosing the fight to Kunesh isn't necessary - try any coversation option, he will tell you to fck off, and after that you can go to his house and trigger the lockpicks event after trying to open the chest as always. After that you can even kick his butt to level some unarmed (the only place in prologue to level it up, actually, besides beating the bandits) and warfare. Sneaking up on guards. The best (and the safest one, AFAIK) is the one on the left side of the town, (if the castle is on your back), near the Kunesh - he's alone, somewhat isolated and usualy has a bow. You can place him inside the guard tower to loot safely and, if you decide to kill him, having leveled up stealth, he'd be replaced by another guard. Rince and repeat. The other 'safe' guard is the one patroling near the Deutsches house - just let him get near the fence and he's all yours. Also, knocked out guards get some of their gear replenished, so you can farm them for those sweet-sweet arrows or those pricey swords. The best way of leveling up stealth is choking the villagers unconcious - they usually can't resist it, and you can focus the one, straying far from the crowd, knock him out, carry him even farther and wait for him to wake up, to knock him out again. After leveling stealth to lvl 5, you've got your stealth kill perk which you may use on guards, to get them replaced. Starting cumans. The alternative and somewhat safer way. First of all, kill the first one, following you down the road, just to get him off your back (or don't and just sprit away). Then run as fast as you can to hay barn, across the road of Teressa's house, jump on its roof, ready your bow and you're good to go. Don't trigger the rapists yet, as they have an archer, that can ruin your day, and focus on the road - cumans will come in small groups, usually having only one archer, focus him first (just shoot him before he does and you'll be fine) and pick off the others. No risk of getting pulled off, as with horse, and, having guards or cumans armour on, you can take a few arrows now and then and still be fine. Gear chest in Talmberg, you've mentioned) is safe, so you don't need to amuse the crowd of good castle, riding Olena on walls. Leveling up lockpick. The castle of Talmberg is the best place to level up this skill. Not sure about any and every locked door, that get's locked up again as soon as anyone closes it, but it is true for the lord's chamber, the door to which is conviniently leeds to the inner wall - the one you're supposed to patrol. It has either 'hard', or 'very hard' lock but by the time you get there, you can probably open that with no problem. Just unlock it (watch out for patroling gurads - the ones just standing near it are safe, at least at night), wait for the lord, his advisor or some guards, to come in or out, unlock it again, and repeat untill you've got the needed level or just get tired of it. The walls are also great for leveling up your stealth - just choke patroling guards, take their stuff (I do it mostly for the arrows), follow to the next guard, and by the time you return to the first one, he'll be awake and ready to get choked again. Anyway, I really liked your video and looking forward for the new ones (actually would really appreciate advice on how to level up speech or tutorial video on haggling). P.S. Sorry if I've butchered some words - English isn't my native language, but I hope you could understand me.

If you are as useless at fightng as I seem to be. In the RUN mission, run down get the horse and immediatly ride in the opposite direction to the exit. Ignore the soldiers and look for the wooden bridge on the left and ride across it. Turn your horse to face the bridge and wait there until the soldiers are crossing the bridge. Gallop at the bridge and swing your sword and you will kill at least 1 and often multiple soldiers which are lined up in nice neat rows on the bridge. Repeat this until they are all dead. Get off your horse, loot, eat, heal, swap out equipment etc and do a save before remounting and moving on to the next section. This works in Oct 2019

I can’t pick a god dam lock

Nice! Good job, thanks for the video!

I have just a couple of things to add to this that I have learned following this guide: Firstly, when you run down the hill and attempt to stab the cuman raiders, dont run up and stab them, wait for them to run around the bend with your bow drawn (the one you should have gotten from knocking out the guard in Skalitz) then unload into the guy that comes around the bend. Aim for the heart because that seems to do the most damage. When the other cumans get close, turn around and sprint up the path a little bit and then commence to unloading into the cumans that will run up to you. To take down the archers, you have to sprint up the path to make them chase after you, then dash toward them and stab them repeatedly in the chest. Repeat this until all the cumans are dead. If that doesn't work, another tactic is to run up behind the cumans (after you ran down the hill) and stab them in the back, aim for the heart. Make sure to get behind the very last guy, the other cumans in front of him will continue to run up the path so you have to be quick about this. To do the most damage, sprint at the cuman from behind and stab them near the heart or square of the back. With this tactic you can take each of them down in one or two hits. Mash the stab button multiple times so Henry is already stabbing again when they are going down. Because of the way the physics work in this game, this will force a head-shot on the second stab. Both strategies have worked extremely efficiently, allowing me to get away mostly unscathed. The only hits I took were from the cuman archers but the armor you got from the guard should protect you from bleeding. Don't attempt to loot the guard towers until everyone has gone to the outer wall to confront sigismunds army. I have encountered some sleeping guards in the towers that have woken up and caught me picking locks. If you wait until all the guards are at the outer wall, you have a much lower chance of getting caught.

this video makes me want to play Fallout 4 subliminally

16:12 Looks like Olenna disappears in 1.9.6, regardless of where you park her. 16:49 Why describe all these directions, instead of just showing this camp on the map? It would make it so much easier to understand. Anyway, it seems to be missing in 1.9.6. Thanks for the rest of the guide though.

Am i the only one having trouble taking down guards even when nobody is looking?

the back of Kunesh's barn is a place that guards won't come around.

Quick note, there is an axe in early skalitz, the entrance guard patrols near a garden, there is a peasant with a hoe in his hand, if you knock him out and loot him you'll find an axe. What i usually do is hit the guard once with the axe, then go into the lumber house behind the trader shop. Killing him is easy as he gets stuck rather quickly. Once you do that, there is a 50 percent chance the shopguard will hear it and walk back to investigate, it's up to you if you want some extra grechen. Note, sometimes he brings a guard with him, so check if the coast is clear before looting the body.

I believe the "endgame" chest will be fixed in the next pc patch. But you should be able to unlock the newly added very hard lock due to all the lockpicking lessons you've had during this playthrough.

The beating up Kunesh part is the part where I think that I might as well just use console commands to get my stats up. Saves me from getting carpal tunnel syndrom from repeatedly clicking for an hour ;)

Pebbles, errrrbs and lockpicks! A new adventure from The Wanderer ;)

Instead of trying to knockout a guard in the middle of town. Go to the back of kunesh's house near the wood walls surrounding skallitz, there should be a guard near an exit there. Knock him out, throw his body in a nearby bush and take his gear. He almost always has two swords, a bow, and an axe. ;)

I tried to do this with immortal kunesh and I wasn't leveling up any reason that it isn't working

You don't have to fight/lose to Kunesh, Just sneak into his home and look at the chest, the lockpick quest will unlock

This is a great guide. I wanted to play this yesterday as was supposed to be added to ps now on the 3rd, I managed to get the day off just to play a few hours! Waste of time because wasn't added till today the 4th so was unable to play. I read that it's only added for 180 days or something so hopefully I can start and finish it. Probably use some of these tips just to make the game easier lol. Don't usually like to do this first playthrough but as not much time I'm not to bothered.

imagine the cumans showing up to loot skalitz only to find everything of value is just gone

When at the powering level section you can use an Auto Clicker - www.murgee.com/auto-clicker/ - to stab without actually having to do it manually. Also you can get an axe by looting a villager in the town. Be sure to kill them though as when they wake up they will tell a guard.

I don't see the point of them patching this. It's a single player game and an exploit that doesn't affect them or anyone. It's like they rather keep it tedious. I can understand that argument that it shouldn't exist for brand new players, but at the same time I don't think most new players will be looking for this.

so i followed this guide, got everything done, was fast traveling back to the mill and had a wayfarer pop up, went into it and a knight challenged me to a duel, i convinced him i needed more then honor for a reward, beat him and got a chest piece that was +4 on every stat to the one from the chest at the end, gotta love how RNG goes sometimes lol

I was like "wow someone made a new vid about KCD in 2021?" then i saw the lock and date XDXD

The camp with the best armor in the game has been removed

Here you go, 2 likes for this and previous guide. Very solid, I hesitated to watch them earlier, cause I was afraid of spoilers, or making my own, and first playthrough easier. I am currently about to go to the Monastery (Pious), and I feel it's near the end of the game. Kunesh fucked me up, I was not able to beat the guard until I've figured out how to steal his polearm and use it against him, since beating him in a fist fight is veeeery chalenging. About the chest with best weapons - I am highly dissapointed, because I've managed to find this chest by an accident. About the time limit caused by bleeding after scripted arrow - Henry is unable to use bandages, but what about Marigold Decoction? It is restoring your health and also healing the injuries. I am not sure about bleeding though, so if that wouldn't stop the bleeding it could give some more time to fight Cumans in order to get their gear. Sadly I am almost sure that it's not possible to take above mentioned guard's halberd in order to use it from horse, but fighting Cumans (at least the first group, before cutscene) while mounted is easy enough. It's quite old video and I doubt you'll even read it, but that was a very solid guide. Grindy, immersion ruining, but highly efficient and I do appreciate it. Very nice work!

All of the early combat level up was written out of console (XBOX). Especially the leveling. Everything, so far, that I've found on KZfaq that helps a player really play the game they way they want was written out.

I killed Zbyshek in his home after the fight at Deustch's house. Someone saw me, called the guards and baliff, I ran out of the house before anyone saw me in there, waited behind his house til the baliff and one guard left. snuck in, knocked out the last guard and took his gear... there is also a merchant who sometimes wanders into the alley... I got his clothing too.

Some times I hope other devs would be like bethesda and not fix their games for years and I could still enjoy the exploits ... alas

Thanks for the tips... Only that they’ve now patched the exploit at the start and removed the chest.

Despite all its flaws this game is the best medieval rpg over there. Hands down.

I love you, so very much. Thank you for this video! I will be trying it out tonight! Would love to watch your stream sometime!

It's been patched....after 1.3 I can't level up my strength by smashing Kunesh. And now even if you get far enough from those Kuman, they would still move.

I never understand why people feel the need to adapt this kind of play style, im all for everyone playing their own way, buy why even purchase a game if you are just going to fast track everything, genuine question.

For those still looking, if you kill the girl that warns you of the catchpole in the fight at the Deutschs before the fight, it never ends and the AI never die, feel free to level yourself

Did they patch where you use Kenush as a pin cushion in the prologue? I play on Xbox btw

I'd love to do something like this, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to pick locks

when will there be a next episode(16 i believe) of KCD????

I've learned so much, great vid my man.

There's are some heavily equipped bandits further up in Skalitz that not many people seem to know about --- a band of 4-5 that have a lot of valuable equipment. I uh, forget the exact location, but it's off to the side of the skalitz castle. It's like a walled off courtyard area.

Anyone else hear the Skyrim soundtrack?

Towards the end of the video, I found the camp, but there wasn't a shield or chest there. Did they remove it in a patch?

For the latest version: you can still increase your skills in skalitz and looting with lockpicks. Just kill some villagers at the north side of the town and take their daggers and axes, then go to where you take sword lessons from the guy and hunt some sheeps, they respawn after some time. if people nearby saw you killing the sheeps, the guards will come and arrest you so be careful, i killed the guard and i took back my groschens. If you want bow and arrows kill the guards that has one by knocking them out or stealth kill them with a dagger, i noticed the guards rotate shifts, the north gate and south gate are far from public views but their body can still be seen by passersby so you have to drag their bodies away from public. To train your stealth just lure to a secluded spot and kill random villagers. After a few hours of playing i think they respawn (not sure yet) and i noticed some of the doors and chests gets locked again but the difficulty of the locks gets easier. I have been playing like this for 6 hrs straight lol

8:20 I didn't know this, but still used him as a punching bag in my first time playing :D Good skillups, instant heal at mother's.

Sadly the patched the pincushion, everything else seem to work! Thanks!!!

Dude, lockpicking so hard in console.... Can t get past first lock....

Finding an easy guard to rob ...stand at the gate to the upper Skalitz with your fathers smith and the castle at your back, then go right down past Deutsche's house all the way down to the guard tower there is often a solitary guard who then walks up that hill at some point it is very easy do knock him out without being noticed once he moves.

I dawdle a bit, so I found some cool things I haven't seen commented on yet as well. If you knock out guards you can pinch their stuff and they'll respawn back pretty quick if you run off somewhere and come back. Can repeat to get heaps of falchions and armour that way. Also.. The saviour schnapps respawn in the chick traders house after a while so you can keep stealing them. I got sick of just reloading every time I broke all my lock picks and started experimenting on the villagers.

You can no longer level up your stats by stabbing Kunesh :(

What drives me insane is when english ppl say schnaps..Im german^^

The only huge problem you get when doing all this is, that your reputation in skalitz will drop to -100 instead of the normal 0 and so your reputation in every other town will be affected too... When u first get to Rattay for example all the merchants will give u very bad prices and u will a have a reputation with them of around 34 instead of the normal 50ish ... which really sucks imo.

Extra Kunesh tip... It takes a little grinding time bit use block in your fight with him and you can get at least two defense before he gives up and says "Ah, to hell with you" while panting. You still can look at his chest and get the lockpick dialogue, don't need to run off crying to mom for bandaids, and two defense levels :)
