Trying to Break: Kingdom Come Deliverance - Become Max Level in Skalitz and Kill all the Cumans 

Radzig - "I can't believe the Cumans destroyed Skalitz, this is a terrible atrocity" Henry - "Yeah... the Cumans..."

"I steal people clothes and repair them" The Serial Stitcher

Cumans: "AHAHA we have arrived to raid- wait. Who're you" Henry: raises halberd*

It's actually scary how psychotic Henry is. He just chokes people to death and breaks their necks, with no remorse or reaction. Friends, neighbours, fellow villagers. He just snaps their necks, swings a halberd in their heads, all while keeping that blank dead inside expression. Scary.

Henry: *Goes on a murderous rampage, killing most of Skalitz and it's guards* Henry's father: "So I heard you've been throwing dung at Deutch's freshly whitewashed house. . ." (Edit: The replies to this comment contain major spoilers, avoid them if you are playing through KC:D for the first time!)

Somthing went right here if RU-vid is sending me stuff I'm actually interested in

Killing the entire town and calling your weapon “halabeard”, makes it extra psychotic. 10/10 banality of evil score

"We did it! We saved the town!" The town, behind him, filled with bodies and burning. And not because of the cumans

So... in order to improve and try to save Skalitz, you have to choke and kill most of it's villagers for training... Noice hahahah

Henry sociopath: "Theresa, come out. I killed those bastards" Thes: "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU COW KILLER"

He probably felt kinda hungry after killing the entire town

Me at the beginning: "Poor horse, how can you do that" Me at the end: "KILL THEM ALL, HENRY! DON'T LET ANYONE ALIVE!!!"

i was like "oh, yeah, he gonna save skalitz!" oh, how wrong i was.

"And he doesn't have the strength to stop me" ah yes, comforting words

The fact that this even possible without mods is really a testament to the sheer freedom and flexibility within KCD.

If you want to do a lot of this without actually killing Skalitz people, you can just keep punching out Kunesh. Each time you KO him you get a chunk of XP for Strength, Agility, Warfare, and I think Vitality, plus whatever weapon/fists you used. I got to 20 in all of these that way. Kunesh doesn't report you to guards like others will and never dies, so he's perfect. Put on a movie or a few, it'll take a while. It's not quite as exciting as going around like a mad murderer like this. You can level stealth with a ton of knock outs, but somehow someone will find out eventually and you'll have to be careful with guards. If you don't want to kill anyone, be careful here as knocking someone out too many times will actually kill them. Except for Kunesh, strangle him all you want. I suggest taking the speech skills at the beginning since it and reading are the only skills in the game you can't cheese. If you want to do herbalism here too, there's enough plants in Skalitz to get you to between 15-20 depending on your diligence and if you have the numbskull xp penalty. Leg Day comes too late and offers just 1 xp per animation, and is not worth banking on to level your strength. Just punch out Kunesh hundreds of times. Various locks will relock around the town, so you can farm lockpicking XP here. Get the luck of the drunk drinking skill early to deal with the hardest relocking locks for the most xp. Speaking of drinking, drink all of the alcohol in Skalitz to level your drinking skill. Maybe save some of it for luck of the drunk. You can't pass out in the prologue from lack of energy or overdrinking. Don't take the ascetic perk until after the prologue, it'll slow down your booze consumption from being too full. You might find being this incredibly drunk all the time to be virtually unplayable. When you knock people out, steal all their clothes and equipment and repair it for easy maintenance XP. Then give their clothes back because you're a good lad, right? Maxing maintenance after getting your hands on the repair kits in town is the easiest skill to 20 in the game if you repair everyone's stuff. Forget about the tedious grinding wheel trick. I can't recall if shooting the sheep with a bow will level your huntsman, but they are at least great bow practice! When you go to kill the cows, then come back, the sheep will be back. Same with the cows. Play your cards right, you can max your stats without killing any Skalitz people. But it takes quite a bit longer than this method since Kunesh wastes so much time unconscious when he could be eating your knuckle sandwiches. If you're playing hardcore, there's nothing to be done to keep you from bleeding out during the horse chase. All you can do is kill what you can before making it to Talmberg. If you can kill anyone at all, you bleed out very quickly and can't waste much time. If you're doing no crime at all, just beat up Kunesh, pick flowers, and sell your flowers for booze. That's all you can really do in Skalitz, you goody two shoes.

I love the casual and calm tutorial over this medieval man masscaring the town's livestock and killing anyone who witnesses

Today is the Birthday of KCD. Jesus Christ be praised!

The Cumans after this: The Devil is real, he wields a halberd.

This Guy : killed his entire village Itachi Uchiha : i see you're man of culture as well

32:46 "This is not how you're supposed to play this game." Good thing you warned me after half an hour of normally playing the game.

The Cumans show up to Skalitz and discover the butchered carcasses of hundreds of villagers and cows. Henry, adorned in blood-drenched ill-fitting armor, steps out of a hovel with a halberd chipped and dulled from smashing thousands of pounds of human and animal bones. "I've been waiting for you."

“Henry tries to show his father he is a real warrior”

Villager getting chocked: w- why h- hen-ry? Henry: Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

I don’t know why but when Henry was just rubbing around knocking out and killing people was terrifying

So what i learned from this is that the way to kill all the bad guys is to first also kill all the good guys. I guess the reaper doesn't care, just so long as he gets everyone on his list.

Alternative: take speech in the two instances with your mother (speech is the hardest stat to raise until you get the speech perk 'final offer'). Then start picking herbs all over, get the 'leg day' perk, and from there on you will gain strength when picking herbs. Herb picking is totally legal, so pick as many as you like, and sell them off or trade them for maintenance kits. Choke out villagers whenever you can, when your strength is higher you can start choking out guards. You can store excess stuff in the chest in the house of your parents, you can return later in the game and sell it off if need be. Kit yourself out in the stuff that gives highest charisma, and start hunting sheep. They are much easier to hunt than cows or horses, and you get a lot more xp for a killing blow than for one that just hurts, so quantity matters big time. You might be seen by villagers and they will then call the guards on you, however, with high charisma and decent speech you can tell them you work for the local lord and get out of it without penalties, which actually raises your speech skill. Hunting sheep enables you to make xp much faster, making it much less of a grind.

*Skalit's ag economy plummeting, guards missing* Henry: _stronk_

I appreciate these tips for social interaction i will be sure to test them out next time someone talks to me

”He's one of those people you don't really need walkin' around” *kills* how I feel about a lot of people in life tbh

17:21 I love how his father comes out after 10 hours looking around at the chaos and bloodshed like “Henry, wot the fook have ye done?”

Imagine getting mercy killed and the last thing that you hear is... *"I feel quite hungry"*

The algorithm has chosen you my child

the cuman captain clothes are the best armor you can get at the prologue

KCD2 Historian : Damn it, now we have to rewrite all the lore!

You can speed level vit to level 20 in less than an hour as well. Simply run into an obstruction (I like the tree near the gambler myself) that prevents jumping and spam the jump button. With each press of the button you'll loose stamina and gain vit xp as it still counts as a jump just without the jumping animation, you can drain a full bar of stamina in less than 3 sec.

Great game if anyone is on the fence. Starts slow but gets real good after you get some training and wealth.

"Stop hitting me, you friggin jerk" Says Henry, the village jerk that killed 90% of his home village.

I wish there was an Easter egg cutscene where if you leveled up this much before the cumans attacking you just like one-shot every cuman and save the city and then credits roll.

And here I am picking up every plant to get the "leg day" perk to slowly level up my strength to 4 before I leave Skalitz.

You could always cook the beef meat (or mutton from sheep), and the stolen tags would be dissapear. And I think the price would be increase a little bit. Anyway, nice videos mate. Keep the good work! 🙂

Uh, so some things to note. 1. Zybeshek, Hans(the guy with the green hood in Skalitz, not Capon), and that one villager who attacks Henry and his friends when they throw dung at the Deutestch's house are immortal for the prologue portion. So you can just train Henry's stats by attacking them, though sheep is better if you're training the bow. 2. You can get rid of Henry's bleeding during the Rovna portion of the prologue by having him wash in a trough. Not sure why this happens but it will get rid of the bleeding that's stuck on him. None of the troughs in Rovna can be washed in though so you'll have to send Henry to one in lower Skalitz. 3. Olena(prologue horse) actually counts as a sidekick for the duration of the "Run!" prologue, so she can wear tack and saddles while carrying your excess items. One of the horses near where Henry saves Teresea also happens to have a 4 bag noble saddle. Remember to get your items off of her before entering Talmberg though, otherwise you'll have to kill her for them. 4. Henry is soft capped at 30 Hunger/Energy for the "RUN!" portion of the prologue. At values higher than 30 they drop drastically faster than normal. At 30, Energy will stop decreasing while Hunger will shift to normal consumption rate. 5. Henry can actually explore most of Bohemia even when during the "RUN!" portion of the prologue. Everything West and South of Rovna isn't actually an instant killzone for Henry, so exiting via south of Rovna pretty much gives Henry access to the rest of the map(aside from Talmberg because entering there would trigger the next portion of the game). The only issue is that if Henry is outside of the Rovna/Skalitz area for the prologue, he'll periodically take damage to his leg. Meaning you'll have to make him take a marigold potion every minute just to survive. If you can be bothered to grab all the potions in Skalitz and Rovna though, Henry has more than enough to make it to the Monastery alchemy table to make more. You'll have to make sure to manage his healing so that the damage to his leg never results in bleeding again though. It'll be fatal as Henry does not yet have bandage1 to fix it and the trough trick does not work on bleeding that was applied via the normal method(a bathhouse can save you though).

Henry was a sleeper agent, and Sigismund saw the Cumans as expendable

Cumans approaching Skalitz be like - Why do i hear the boss music?

you can power level maintenance by just using the grinding wheel to constantly ruin and then repair a sword or axe

Im so glad youtube bless me with this video

When you initially started sneaking, I was not at all expecting you to knock that guy out. That really got me. But when you walked up to the horses, I certainly hadn’t figured you’d use them as punching bags. I don’t know, the timing of it and your tone of voice just really tickles me

Everyone: "Oh, I heard about Skalitz. I am so sorry. Those cursed Cumans" Henry: "I don't wanna talk about it..."

I took herbalism as well in order to increase strength passively but also a permanent +2 to vitality. I was bored last summer and did this exact same thing. I'm glad you've shared this because I really enjoyed breaking the game too, haha.

This video reminds me of the Southpark episode about World of Warcraft, killing millions of boars. :D

Okay so The corpses scattered outside skalitz Was a failed attempt by the cumans to bury all of the people outside like they stopped after receiving news of Henry being alive, near and with thirst for blood

Wow, RU-vid actually recommended me a video about a game I like from a small channel! Has Susan stepped down!?

That was so Apocalypse Now when you killed that cow.

I'm really happy to see people still playing and enjoying this game. It is honestly my favorite game within the last few years, easily in my top 5 overall.

People: **videogames don’t create violent people** Helical:

I remember after beating the game, I went to play it again. Except this time, I tried to steal everything possible in Skalitz. It was nice being able to come back to Skalitz and have a trunk full of crap to sell at the beginning of the game.

I found most of this a few months ago, but you've shown me the light. Even quicker and more effective

It's a shame that they removed/didn't add the catchpole/halberd skills. There are perks for almost every type of weapon, except the bow and the halbard. Probably because they thought that the halbard was too powerful to use. Especially since they also later changed that you can't put halbards into your inventory, like you could do with a sword.

You are by far my most favorite channel.Keep This type of content up👍🏼

Henry: *"I just like hurt'n people"*

Great Job! Can't wait to see when you're RU-vid famous

I'm very happy youtube recommended me this video, I have completely forgotten this game existed

@Helical thanks for this. I'm reinstalling now to play with this idea. Question, it's been a long time, but I remember specifically wishing for a reticle type thing for the bow and arrow so you could get a better idea of where you were going to shoot. I remember practicing quite a bit and it became less of an impediment, but at the same time i can't help but think how much it would help. Is that from a mod or did i just miss something?

You posted this on my 26th birthday and I love this game!

I love KCD and i have played it to death! I always find it funny to go back and watch all the 'guides' on how to get high skills and what not before leaving skalitz like it was the optimal way to play! which it really isn't, going on the main quest is far more efficient. It's still fun when a challenge is made from it like this.

Henry finally snaps and murders everyone. Cumans invade on the same day. Henry - :D

Damn dude! This has to be the best video on youtube. A+ for the effort!

Very helpful video! I just beat the base game, got the royal edition after and was kinda disappointed to see saves didnt transfer. This was a life saver!

Really enjoyed this game breath of fresh air after playing countless rpgs

Some of the best armor can be found in Skalitz after the raid. There will be about 8 people fighting inside the north gate. If you’re low level, go at night in stealth clothing, let them kill each other, then loot the goods. It’s worth a fortune in Rattay and you can keep the best pieces for yourself. You can go back to Skalitz and do this repeatedly and get rich lol.

Your stuffs so gold, I'm glad I found your channel bud

I love How you explain this video. Way better than others on RU-vid. 🙄 you make so simple

Him:"Halberds will destroy you" Me with my mace and shield with max strength: "I'll like to see them try"

I love the tone of voice when saying “just beat on the horse! :D”

"boss I know we're supposed to murder and pillage here, but I don't see any guards at all, isn't it weird?" *henry sweating profusely*

"Did you do it?" "Yes" "And what did it cost" "Whole village"

Side note, this is probably the only time in the whole game when you get to see enemies on horseback. For some reason, enemies are exclusively on foot from then on. But it's still a great game.

My favorite thing about this video is you congratulating yourself LOL

11:25 poor villager must have really pissed off henry with something because this stomp was surely personal💀💀

Henry: The cumans can't destroy skalitz if i do it first

Well, I deliberately skipped this going max level grind phase, I just started to kill all the cumans from horseback [at level one, or maybe two]. It was hard, they can one hit kill you. But I managed. I looted so many cuman armor that I never had any money issue after this massacre.

Can't wait to watch you play the next game!

"He's one of those people you don't need walking around" -Head stomp- Lmao

I hereby declare this man the cheese king.

The story of a Henry that felt quite hungry.... for the blood of the innocent. He practiced on farm animals until he graduated to the most dangerous game.

Just found your channel. Thanks for the tip! Subbed! May you grow your channel. You have great content.

How do you still have a crosshair for archery? Is it a setting i missed or have i just not leveled it enough?

With your stamina decreasing so much because you're attacking all the time, you're open for damaging blows. Keep your stamina up and you could have taken the groups of Cumans. The higher your stamina, the higher the resistance to health loss.

Imagine the cumans showing up expecting to plunger a thriving village only to see it already in ruins thanks to one guy.

killing cows is a very time consuming method , i also tried teh Deutsch quest glitch though it messes up my saves. Is there any other way to lvl up ? i took down 4 guards (including baillf) with stealth 5 and str 4, is it possible to knock out all guards in skalitz with these stat , One more thing i stole about 5 potions which temporarily increases str by 5 , is it good to use before knocking down a guard

How do you have the reticle when using the bow? Is this a feature they added after lunch that I missed in my years of not playing?

My bro out here doing medieval warcrimes to get quickly rich. Thats one way to play the game.

Haven't played this game since release, does picking up every herb in Skalitz is nerfed?

This is incredible - this is now my favorite RU-vid video

This is pretty entertaining and interesting. I’m gonna binge these

This is my second playthrough. Maxing skills, robing everyone, stealing high end gear, always choose violence in dialogue, be a degen. SO MUCH FUN

There is no second "A" in Halberd

Bruh literally the best thing ive ever seen or heard,IN A LONG TIME!

I just got into KCD, and i really just took the time in between quests to watch this and it was amazing. Im gonna try this my second time around

Fisting that cow like a true pro.
