7 things we wish we knew before playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 

I spent like 5 hours exploring the introduction because i wasnt aware its an introduction.....

The only thing I wish I'd known before playing with this is that the guards in Rattay REALLY don't like you walking around in the dark.

I'm just sad that cheese's dont get BETTER the older they get

A good hint: Remember that you are not alone, and to report to your lords regularly

I was surprised by how good this game was. I wasn't that interested at all until I picked up the game and played it for myself. I didn't mind the slow start and Henry sucking at everything, it felt like a good book with good character development overtime.

i played the intro game for 10 hours, because of explored the town and played some dice while get drunk, now i know why some people said beware of gambling and booze

Saving the game with Savior schnapps costs 100 Goshen, but Saving with a night at the inn only costs 2 Goshen. Save often.

My 30+ hr protip is: You don't actually need to buy any food. After you get through the start of the game and are truly unleashed into the open world, you can just drop into shops or even private homes and eat the food they are cooking in the pots. And as you progress in the world and get better gear and get more skilled at combat (both you and Hal) you can easily kill loads of bandits, eat the stew they're cooking and loot the food they have on them (usually pretzels in my play through so far) for a just in case I feel like hunting all day snack.

Pro tip: if combat feel difficult or you have to face a group of enemies, I recommend applying one of the poisons you can brew or get from herbalists in the forests on your sword and then try to open the fight by stabbing and try to cause bleeding, the opponents stats will be lower due to the poison effect and your fight will be easier ... you are welcome ;-)

I just started playing, to escape talmberg I stole the set of armor, but on my way to the gate I was crossing the moat and thought to myself, couldn't I just jump off this and walk away? So I tried and it worked, I started to smugly saunter off thinking I'd cheesed the game when the guard shouted "The prisoner boy just jumped into the moat. You men down there stop him!" So I had to deck it to the woods, when I got away I had such a stupid grin on my face. This game is truly something special.

This game is actually really immersive, and yes the missions are buggy, lock picking is annoying etc... but as a whole this is one of the best RPGs of all time in gaming.

The start was pretty emotional and I didn't expect it. You feel helpless too cus you're so weak at the start, but it's so satisfying to slowly improve and see the results

Another thing we've found out playing - stealth takedowns are *really* powerful. If a particular enemy is giving you trouble, sneak up on them, knock them unconscious and steal their weapons and armour. Or, just finish them off while they're asleep. It might even be *too* powerful... - Matt

Best open world RPG I played in 10 years so far. Bethesda can dig themselfs up and never come out. This was also a Kickstarter...

My tip is to avoid lockpicking when using a controller, unless you want to get a heart attack from anger, hopefully they will look into this asap.

Did no one else not just jump the mini drawbridge in the escape quest. I just walked out of town

It is beautiful, the story is great, yes it is buggy, they did not have unlimited budget (around 10-15% of comparable titles). Lets hope that the sales they make will allow them to clean up the game and then make another like it.

Got it on xbox one. So freaking fun. The perfect game for me. It is literally like Skyrim with the Witcher 3s graphics combined with a survival sim. It is so so cool.

I love the game. The first day i got it i played for 8 hours. I'm so glad that I came across this game when i did. I was so burnt out on run of the mill type games.

Somthing i found out kind of a spoiler. When you finally fight the man who stole your sword, it does not let you search his body. If you go back to the area not only is there chests to open, but if you go around the back of the building the fight happened in you can jump onto a bush and scale the wall. His body is up there with his armor and also there is a chest with 81 grochen. The area is locked off thats why im saying this. I was rewarded for thinking outside the box. His chest armor is worth 1.1k.

Love this game! Once you start to understand the game, it starts to really grow on you!

Remeber: don’t mess with huge companies of bandits, if you haven’t saved in a while DO NOT stop on the road to fight bandits, don’t wait too long completing the quest to heal Skalice wounded guys and the quest where you must heal Mrhoedy’s ppl, don’t mess with Hanush, Radzig and other noblemen. Also, if you want to snatch something from a chest at night right under someone’s nose, try choking them in their sleep. That might even work with quest characters. And also, this tip might spare you from unneeded difficult fights at times. Gotta fight someone strong during day? Don’t. Just kill him at night in his tavern bed. And finally, don’t rush through the story, enjoy every part of it and don’t cheat with godmode and all - it will just break all the immersion of the game. Enjoy it, hard parts, easy ones, boring and full-of-action moments, cause this game will definitely end faster than you expected or wanted to. And some quests cannot be completed after others. And DO NOT break the daily timetable in the monastery. Enjoy your new role for a while!

Lol I remember when I first played there sa town with a plague and I'm suppose to cure it but instead I got sidetracked and forgot about it untill the end and when I came back more than half the town died and there was like 5 people left LOL

When fighting against groups always move around or try to get high ground, I know it may seem obvious but a friend of mine struggled with it. Remember you can't heal during combat

One of the best RPG experiences I've enjoyed in years. This game is SO good, but it can be daunting at first for sure. You learn as you go, just like Henry (the character you are playing).

When you begin the game, don't rush your way through the first objective. Before you do anything, walk around the fields, and pick up the plants you see. The traders in town won't all buy them, but some will. It will take a while, but by doing this I was able to acquire 180 groschen before I even bought the charcoal, and if you raise your herbalism to 10, you can get the leg day perk which gives you strength points for every time you pick plants. Good luck.

This is the only game I played on 800x600 resolution, and hell, it doesn't even look that bad (depending on the time of the day). I pump up my resolution in fields etc, but in villages, I lower it. Game is a fking masterpiece, been following the development for 2 years and I almost started crying when I turned the game on lol

One of the best games I've played in a long time, it ranks up there with rock star games and the detail they add in their games.

Kingdom come deliverence is what I want to see in a mount and blade game

I love how colorful this game is. It’s a nice break from the brown and gray games seem to love nowadays.

Love playing the Royal Edition, easier lockpicking, no bugs.

My tip - this is not a button masher combat system. More like; Press the attack direction and attack or defend button at the precise appropriate time - and press it only once then let the combat mechanics do their thing until its time to again press the attack direction and attack or defend button at the precise appropriate time. Button mashing will cause the combination to 'reset' or just not do anything at all. So if your combination attempts or defend / riposte attempts are not working - you are button mashing. :)

great vid heres my added tips.. 1. heavy armor + bow from melee range = OP 2. dustbin perk to allow u to eat spoiled foods makes life ez.. 3. early on ur given a q line to "kill camp leader" at bandit camp, DO THIS q line. It yields major gear upgrades and sellables which will trivialize money which inturn makes everything easy.. homes everywhere, unlimited savenols etc

Read your quest log and it will give you helpful tips on how to take on a mission for instance. If you read the quest log for the first mission for your father Henry will have written that you should get the ale last as it will not be cold enough when you bring it to your father. He updates it every time you do something or even if you are taking to long on a certain task.

I will be playing this game for 2 years at least especially when the mods come out for this beautiful game. loving it!

One of my top tips is, if you’re on a quest and you’re struggling, it’s ok to go back to an earlier save and take more time and care to prepare for the quest before starting it again. I’ve had to do that a few times and it always worked out 👍🏻

Just bought this game. I absolutely cannot wait for the download to finish so I can start playing! Thanks for the helpful tips!

My tip- keep playing...In this game you can see progress every hour you play...first hours were dead, dead and dead but after 20 hours? No one can beat me :D Great armor, some skills and i can fight against 6 NPC alone (PC). Second tip- aim on the details...don't think about bugs. For example Fallout 4 has more bugs today, even after many many patches, then KC:D. This game has total new game system which has never used before in other games. Every NPC has own life and own decision making. Details of this game are so brutal so some bugs are irrelevant and important bugs will be fixed.

Tip: Pick all the nettle you can find if you do nothing else at the beginning of the game. Do this before anything else. After you have picked so much (I don't know the exact amount) you'll recieve a perk called resistance. It will add a permanent +2 to your vitality. This counts towards your max stamina and stamina usage. Very helpful. As a side note I spent over 6 hours at the very beginning before I even did the making the sword quest picking every plant I could find in the village and taking the Herbalists perks. By the time it was done, I had an herbalist skill of 17 and from one of the herbalist perks my strength had risen to 3. I had bought every saviour schnapps that was sold by the normal merchants (not Bianca) and quite a few more things besides.

My tip is to keep an eye out for anything out of place and travel on foot most of the time you will find more loot such as graves so always carry a shovel on you or your horse and look around skalitz from time to time I always find something new I never saw the last time

God bless you Henry!

Finally! A Survival RPG.

I have the number one tip for this game. At the start go to the sword training before you talk to your father then talk to your father. After that pick all the flowers you can find and sell them to the traders and buy everything the traders have, keep picking flowers and put them in the chest in the room where you start, the chest is still there after the proper game starts so you just have to quick travel back and fourth before you talk to the miller and put everything in the new chest in your room at the mill. I did this at the start and when the game finally started for real my herbalism level was 18 I had 300 Gershan and all the other stuff from the traders and i also had a few thousand of each flower in my chest.

I cannot like this enough. Ty for some great tips

My advice: Get into Alchemy as soon as you can. You can produce savior schnapps in batches very early in the game at very, very, very little cost. Anyone using a mod for saving is just cheating since saving is really easy but made less frequent due to the cost, which is good, because it will make you actually feel way more immersed and make any decision feel weighty. Next advice: Deer has around 200 pieces of meat per deer. Meaning that if you kill a deer and sell its meat you will even at a very low selling price (miller) still get around 500 groschen per deer. Close by Neuheim there is a Inn, where the owner will also buy wild meat. So you can hunt in that forest and directly bring the meat to the owner. But dont get caught by the patrols in the woods. They certainly don't like you stealing that meat.

this game is such a marvel! hope to see many more games trying to mimic this ones ways.

A useful tip, in the opening area of Skalitz even though the game tries to move you along with your father asking you to do his tasks asap, time seems to not move and I don't believe there is a time limit. I spent a good hour running around doing herbalism. It is boring but you can pick up 2-3 perks from skill ups and make enough money to buy a tailor kit, cobbler kit and armor repair kit.

Nice vid. This game sure is challenging and refreshing. Keep up the good work :)

Yes it has its glitches to the point it’s frustrating to play. But after finding out it’s a kickstarter game done on a very limited budget I’m more than amazed how good it is

When sleeping/waiting, put in +1 hour, as the last hour takes so long to finish up, so you can just cancel that last extra hour

Love this game. Definitely my best advice is to train as much with the captain as possible, learn defense moves, and learn to use the combos in battle!!! They will turn the fight to your favor, even if you're outnumbered.

Tip: If you have some time on your hands, make sure to set aside a couple of hours to properly level up your skills in a certain weapon. This also goes with defense etc. It will definitely help you out in the later stages of the game.

"I feel quite hungry"

A tip is not to rush the main quests, instead take side quests and train Henry so that he can face the tough enemies with ease when it comes to boss fights (like the one against Runt)

Best combat tip I can give is be patient and be aware of other enemy's. I normally wait till they attack so I can counter them using a perfect block then attack if its not too risky. This also comes in handy when there's a archer trying to shoot you while u having a fight, u can easily put your enemy in the way of the bow and then when u done, u can side step u way to the archer and get a few hits in

So glad I got this through PS+. It's really tough in the beginning but it gets a lot easier pretty quickly. It's such a cool game.

definitely will consider getting this during steam summer sale this year

Pro tip: Struggling for hours to get guard armor to sneak out of the castle halfway through the prologue? The, uh, the drawbridge has like a two-foot drop into the village. Sigh.

Another way to get some groschen is to loot the bodies of people when you stumble across fighting groups in the wild. If the winners are guards they wont attack you if you come up unarmed (weapons away) and you can loot freely. If the parties are all enemies (bandits, or Cumans) , wait until the fighting is over then either take down the remaining NPC's, or wait until they get bored and move on (use the advance time feature here) and stay off the beaten track and out of sight until they have gone. Use 1hr time advance lots until they leave. Be prepared to save in case things turn to crap ;-)

If your playing hardcore and having trouble navigating the map. In rattay you can start the bird quest with the huntsman/bow guy and when you drop the birdcages he gives you it shows where you are on the map.

This game is on my wishlist since Kickstarter... can't wait for a sale to grab it!!

What an amazing game!

Heavy armor with bow in melee range is op. Use trees, carts and other barriers like doorways to fight one on one when taking on large groups and lineup easy head shots.

It is really the dogs danglers I love it, and looks absolutely stunning.

Will get this next month when the next patch should be out

Actually drinking beer was a common thing among surfs in the medieval times.

There are a couple of perks which will make the game easy to the point of breaking it. For example, the human dustbin perk let's you eat spoiled food and some more levels in scout can help you evade unnecessary fights when fast travelling. I haven't used a single saviour schnapps yet owing to the fact that I always find a tavern or a measly camp with a free bed that sometimes let's you save. I have barely progressed in the main quest but I already have hoarded 20k groschen all this with buying tier 5 horses and beautiful dresses for women; simple trick, when stopping at hold ups or other battles remember to completely strip bare every corpse. Sell armour to armourers, swords to swordsmiths and so on. You will be swimming in money in no time. Keep leveling up your carry capacity and buy more saddlebags to keep more loot. With all this being said I am pretty sure most of this is pretty obvious and I probably missed better tricks but the game has been a breeze for me. Just the right balance of easy and difficult. I hope it is for you too.

My best advice i see nobody mention is you should mostly drink alcohol for nourishment. it's free xp towards drinking which can give you some really great buffs and perks. i also keep dried meat and cheese on myself if my nourishment gets low and i don't want to overdrink. but it's free xp towards your main level as well. you can kinda xp farm by drinking a ton, sitting on a bed and reading overnight. Also get the mutt. fights for you, makes 1v1s a joke, he can automatically farm your houndmaster and hunting skill at the same time by telling your dog to hunt hares while you stand there and just loot the rabbits he brings. everytime you feed yourself give your dog a piece of meat and praise it. doing so will make you fly through houndmaster levels. you can't spam treats or praise but if you do it in intervals same as when you feed yourself you'll get massive xp. learn to read as soon as you get your horse. keep a spade on your horse at all times. launder money with your bedroom chest. pay the 200 at an inn to get a permanent bedroom and a chest linked to your 'bedroom chest network'. Best way to offload stolen goods so they can't be confiscated. You used to be able to hide them on your horse but guards find those too now.

My tip is to avoid bandits in heavy armor cuz it's impossible to penetrate their armor

I am actually playing Kingdom Come with a Logitech G mouse. lol.

Thank you!... You saved a lot of people from a lot of frustration today! 👍👏

This game was released in an almost unplayable state, (at a full retail price of $60) but there have finally after half a year been enough patches (1.6.3 on PS4) that I’ve started again. You still must constantly delete old saves (try to keep no more than 5 or so) on consoles or you will eventually break the save system and there are still some smaller bugs that may require reloads but the game breaking stuff seems fixed and I’ve been having a blast.

Don’t be like The Stark boy, ZIG ZAG

How do you clean the sword? On the grinder?

Thank you! I don’t have the game yet but can’t wait to purchase it

Another tip is that when u start the run for it quest, get on the horse and bring out sir radzigs and slay all the cumans near Theresa's house and the one going to it down the road, horseback=OP After killing the cumans loot their armor

Would've been nice to know before I sold My saviour schnapps..

Henry died today from savour snaps poisoning... 😥😭

How to make combat easier in early game: grab the bow in talmberg and shoot enemies. Headshots are particularly powerful. If a group of enemies come get sprinter perk to get some distance turn around and shoot one of them. Bow doesnt do much damage if you are untrained but hey it helps you stay alive and thats what counts.

As far as number 3 is concerned: Anyone who has any knowledge of fencing, whether it be olympic or HEMA, would have the general idea of how to use this system. For example, all I had to do was get used to the controls, and I was off killing armored mercenaries and selling all their gear for the big $$$. My advice is to utilize the thrust (stabbing people). As is fairly well known in the fencing world, the thrust is the most devastating, and deadly, attack one can make with a sword or polearm. Especially when it comes to European weapons. The European Longsword and typical arming swords of the time, were designed primarily for the thrust. That is why they aren't made with a big swooping curve in the middle like a Shamshir or Katana. The Cuman swords are definitely geared towards cutting (slashing at) the opponent. Anywho, in theory, the thrust is the hardest to defend against, and has the most probability to penetrate armor. It, in IRL anyway, is also a far more precise attack. In the game, you do have a limited ability to aim your thrust, however, and the quickest way to kill an opponent is usually a series of stabs to the face (especially considering that most people in game don't have a face covering on their helmets), which I like to call "sniping". Edit: Also, from what I can see of everyone's gameplay footage, everybody seems to be obsessed with playing without a shield! To be quite honest, nearly everyone in the middle ages would have chosen to use a shield, and for good reason. It helps to protect you, as well as opens many opportunities to attack. If you are out their roaming the Bohemian countryside looking for a life of adventure and riches, then for Christ's sake, take a damned shield with you!

The one things I wish more people knew is that Henry is a no one good for nothing peasant, that's why it is hard for him (and therefore for you) to lockpick or fight among other things. Practice the skills that you want to get better at and stop whining and asking the devs to dumb down the game.

My tip? Have patience. This "realistic" game style seems to be pretty new to most people. That means most of the things in the game are experimental and buggy, and the game is poorly optimized. The studio isn't exactly gigantic, so I imagine they don't have the workforce to patch A LOT of bugs in a short time.

The mystical fire sword "dragon breath" the best weapon in the game is located in the stream during the first mission.

Seems (according to interviews with Dan Vavra) that developers will embed (once embedded but finally omitted) "quit and save" feature, at least on PCs - make save before quitting, when loading (some time later), save will be deleted. Well this feature can be (and will be) exploitable too but make possible saving the game when going away from PC. But, there are a lot of "interesting places" in the woods where you can sleep (and save), it might be sufficient.

In my game I’m playing Henry as a peasant who has obviously lost so much yet been given so many opportunities that he is now Ser Radzig’s page. He hasn’t been trained for the job and isn’t the typical heroic knight. He tries to be as honorable and chivalrous as possible but he’s also trying to secure a future for himself and his future family. And sometimes he has to lie, cheat, and murder to do so. Obviously as someone who sees themself as the good guy this torments him and he knows that he is slipping deeper and deeper into sin. He’s just a step away from being a bandit but he’s fighting with everything he’s got from taking the easy path. How are you playing your Henry?

thanks for tips gonna bathe in a horse trough

Bought on ps store now ,great deal ,bought the dlc also ,now to find the time to play.

Do one side mission at a time don't accept multiples you can get them done pretty quickly but if you have too much at once you lose track of what you're doing also be a goody-goody to the beginning of it skip the missions that have you do evil things and hunt for Treasure and get a lot of lockpicks after your stronger with more charisma then start pickpocketing and lock picking

My biggest tip is TRAIN, train and train. You are a blacksmiths son, not a warrior or knight Henry has no real idea how to fight. Also learn to read, doing this will help you later in game. Don't try to steal everything, it will damage your rep to the point you need to pay people to even listen to you, merchants baliff ect(friend went stealing and ended up woht -99 rep now he needs to pay like 300 gold to even talk to people)

be creative. mission: escape the city in order to burry your parents the guard doesn't let you out. other people: sneak by, bribe, imperson a guard me: jump off from the bridge

powerlevel swordsmanship, then do captain bernards bandit quest. you get super good high tier loot early in the game.

*God bless you Henry*

I found the game to be a lot of fun...after I used cheats to duplicate the shit out of the Savior Schnappes item to allow me to save whenever I wanted.

Anyone get the full for two days trophy yet?

Herb picking is great early on, it has nice perks and can be sold for an OK amount of coin. Herbs do respawn so farming in possible.

I remember jumping over the bridge in Rattay to escape lmao,cus I wasnt able to lockpick the chest and just said screw it and surprisingly it worked

buggy as fuck but a good solid game wait for that 20gb update bois

If you're on PC, I recommend getting the mod that disables having to use that drink to save.

About 1 : additionally, the game now allows to Quit/Save. To use that Saved game, you need to reload the game completely. Other tip: *buy Repair kits* (small ones are cheap enough when you start: just sell herbs) instead of paying to get gear restored (too expensive). Repairing stuff yourself improves your Maintenance skill and it is "free" so-to-speak, as you only need to pay for the repair kits as such. This is a big issue, as otherwise gear maintenance gets really annoying. Shoes are broken after about 24 hours or less of walking/running. nb: I never have issue with food, so it is just immersive, without being annoying.

I recommend walking backwards during fiat fights after a while the enemy will drop their guard and run at you and you can get in a jab or kick
