I have not done this myself yet, but was aware he wears a helmet. Awesome to know it works in HC too thanks 🙂

Lol that is awesome! I was so confused the first time I was ambushed as I hadn't started Dead Men Tell No Tales yet and was missing the context. I fought him normally, was poisoned and died. I have not tried a poleman/spear against him... I would think the extra distance, and inability for him to master strike would help? Thanks for sharing 🙂

I chose to kill him in my current playthrough (it's at the end of the vid). I guess there's lots of vids of people dealing with him head on, I wanted to show other options, particularly if viewers are struggling with him, or trying to keep clean kill stats. I agree it's not as fun to avoid, or let him off the hook 🙂

@@turismo_gaming I understand, it's cool to have options.

How did you end up dealing with him? Directly or stealth or another way? For direct, I found I had the best success with maces and longswords.

​@@turismo_gaming I used the long sword and just tried to block every shot, if they didn't telegraph the attacks I wouldn't have been able to do it. Got him against the wall of the shed where Henry beds Theresa and kept clinching and pushing him towards the wall so he doesn't get too far then I strike his head to try get the nutcracker perk going. He still managed to strike me a few times so by the time he died i had to sprint into the mill and check what potions I had in my chest before the poison got me. Tldr: tried my best to cheese him with clinching and head shots.

Nice! Thanks for explaining. Similar experience, I usually try to keep him near the ambush spot as I wasn't sure of the impact on Peshek/Theresa and any randoms walking past. I had some success avoiding the poisoning by keeping my stamina high, and being patient attacking, but not reliably enough to include in the vid.

Great point! I talked about reducing noise in the first location, but omitted in the second... I will find out

@@turismo_gaming Thanks, I'm not perfectly sure what lvl my Henry was but it was the first or second tourney, I roleplayed a 'good' Henry without any thievery and wasn't at any bandit camp or to Pribyslavitz at the time, so Stealth must've been quite low. I do remember that I couldn't defeat Peter with the Shard I had (cause you need hundreds of hits and can't be hit once) so, after a dozen tries I gave it up and rode him down.

So at this point stealth was 7. For this playthrough I have not done much roleplaying so my Henry would be similar to the average viewer for a regular playthrough. My combat skills are greater than 10 on average, and other skills less than 10 on avg (lockpick 6, pickpocket 5). Thanks for this feedback. I will try to make levels and gear clearer in future vids as it can really impact if viewers can follow and copy what I do in the vid, or not.

@@turismo_gaming Thanks, my Stealth lvl was probably around 2-3, maybe even just 1, next run I'll check if that was the only problem.

First time I was ambushed I was so confused as I was missing the context. After I had done Dead Men Tell No Tales side quest, then it made sense and it was fun messing with him 🙂 That being said I haven't done a merciless playthrough yet, 1400 kills is massive!

Thanks for sharing! Yes nice poetic justice 🙂

I really like the clinch mechanic and perks. I wonder what changes (if any) they will make in KCD2.

@@turismo_gaming I hope they add a reticle for the bow or like an option to add have one turned on it the setting menu

Awesome idea! Optional would be great imo to better satisfy long time players and newcomers. Perhaps for HC it's then disabled.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! 🙂 I try to find topics not already covered on YT. But a bit hard for a 6ish year old game. Fortunately KCD is awesome and fun to cover.

Time to steal all his stuff (twice) and send him packing in his underwear! 🤣

Thanks! Glad you found it informative. Hopefully it comes in handy if you do another playthrough

Thanks man, I've got some more KCD videos in the works

It's a bit of a power trip, after the prologue beat down. I also really like the clinch mechanic and related perks 🙂

That's awesome, really inspired role playing! Was it a complete playthrough or just partial?

@@turismo_gaming I do like a good theme and to set limitations for myself. It wasn’t a complete play through, did as many random side quests as I could without serious combat got Pribyslavitz and then stopped questing and just built the town. Then my housemate got Bannerlord and I’ve strayed for too long. I’m going back to KCD tomorrow, I’ve missed it. I’m thinking poverty stricken, crippled beggar Henry, all the negative, pickpocketing, drinking and try for the dice throwing perk eventually. Take the dog to make people feel sorry for me and only use a bludgeon by pretending it’s just a stick for the dog 😂

​@@mrbritish6673 There are so many opportunities for role playing and different ways to do stuff, makes it hard to put down. Especially knowing the sequel is coming soon. I haven't got round to Bannerlord (yet..) been playing DD2 but it hasn't grabbed me yet, I keep just flipping back to KCD 😆

Thanks for the comment 🙂 Do you mean Runt is a lot weaker? I agree. I guess unless you grind levels in Skalitz, Runt would usually beat the player easily in the prologue, and then Henry levels up ready for this encounter, which gives you a nice feeling of progression.

Nice tip particularly if anyone is struggling to melee him 🙂

Nice, did you intentionally level and gear up for it? Or just had too much fun exploring and side content before returning to the main quest? That happens to me

@@turismo_gaming I leveled up all my stats except for lock pick and archery before the attack on the village. After the village I just went to lvl up my lock pick and archery then looked for all the war horse armor , sword in the max chest and started doing sides quests and did the dlc’s before doing any of the main missions really. Did all the duels and gut the armor for it. Guy the best armor form the old man and saved everyone else in the dlc and just breezed through the main story once I got to it. I may have like 4 or 5 side missions left to do after I finished the main story . But I left those be because I’ll hit them off when part 2 is about to come out

Good plan! You might also want to consider leveling mace if you haven't already, they are effective against enemies wearing armour.

Nice! 🙂 You must have been pretty OP early or skilled at combat, or both? I think I've seen a video where his health is depleted and the fight continues as normal until the cutscene 😆

I don't think you can actually beat him there, he seems to have infinite health.

​@@johntheknight3062In prologue he is a protected person with a minimum of 1 health, but it goes to break his personal stats, for example he won't be able to run.

You can kill his friends by jumping on carriage and shooting them with bow but Runt is immortal in prologue. Whole story line about sword wouldnt make sense...

@@4Core100 If you can kill his friends, are they then present in the cutscene?

Master strike these hands!!

If you have not found the map yet, are you able to follow the directions at 0:26 in the video to Henrietta's Hideaway or that location if you don't have the map icon yet?

My thoughts exactly 😆

Thanks for sharing 🙂 Do you knock them out and loot them, or pick pocket them while sleeping?

@@turismo_gaming knock them out, you can't pickpocket armor

@@haserpl2367 Thanks! I haven't done this myself but remember seeing a video or Reddit post with the tourney guys in their undergarments.

I'm an honorable man I don't steal

@@CubeInspector Reminds me of the Black Peter line "but I'm an honourable man and I swear I had nothing to do with it"

Thanks for the comment! Hope the video was helpful 🙂

Thanks for the comment. I saw it posted on Reddit!! Can't wait to watch the reveal 😁

Thanks for sharing 🙂 is the chest you are referring to the one next to Henry's bed? Also, is there a reason you don't just sell the swordsmith's stuff to Peshek?

@turismo_gaming Yes the chest next to the bed. I tried selling the stolen goods to Peshek, it won't let me. I don't know why.

@@Nightmarefuel66 Thanks for confirming. Wow that's interesting, I assume you already completed The Good Thief side quest? Or is that still in your quest log? 🤔

@turismo_gaming if you mean all the theft quests from Peshek, then yes. Like the last one is stealing that book from Hunish or whatever the hell his name is. The king dude or something.

@@Nightmarefuel66 Kind of, The Good Thief is one of the first side quests you get access to waking up in Rattay Mill. The purpose is to repay Peshek for taking care of you after the Runt beating. You need to get a ring from the Executioner and give it to another miller. This quest lets you sell stolen stuff to Peshek (I have a video on it)

That's true, I tracked those myself external to the game. Fortunately you just have to use Ancient Magic on the enemies, not also to finish them off 🙂

Thanks for sharing this dice tip. Do you get the Perfect Throw agility perk as well? Or just use special dice?

@@turismo_gaming I just got the dice and because it’s so successful you can use that perk point on something else! I’ve won more than 30 games in a row now, unfortunately you clean out the other gamblers and they seem to stop coming back. Maybe they show up with more money later? 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@user-ct4yr9ke7h You could try betting a few groschen less than the gambler's maximum to see if they hang around for more games, but likely need to wait for some time to pass for them to improve their finances, similar to fighting the brawlers like I show in the video, if you give them some time off between beat downs they will be carrying a relatively higher amount

@@turismo_gaming I think k you might be right there with the gamblers too. I let one guy go to get on with a few tasks and he didn’t have as much as before but he had more than he did when I left him last… The others I knocked out and stole their money and dice 🤣

Wow that's rather out of the box thinking! I know the yellow dot you are referring to. I'm a console exclusive gamer and the TV I use is also used by my wife and kid, so I probably cant stick anything on it 😅 but hopefully others can benefit from this tip! I have used the dot to try and get my aiming on point at the start of a contest though.

I just enabled the cross hair while using a bow using a command.

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it 🙂

Thanks for sharing this Alchemy tip 🙂

Thanks for the insightful comment. That's true, you are making a wager in each activity. I am a console exclusive gamer, and found combat and hunting with the bow rather challenging until I did the contest a stack of times. As for brawling, I like being able to level a range of combat related skills in a relatively safe and repeatable manner, although I suppose that's similar to training with Bernard (without the looting) but then you don't get to beat up Milan 🙂

Alright smart arse

@@jthc5627 🤣

Thanks for sharing these Lockpicking tips 🙂

You only need to get it to level 6 and be drunk with the perk to open all chests with ease, no need for potions.

Thanks for sharing the details on Hunting, very helpful 🙂 In the video, I comment how the contests are a good way to make money, level up Bow, and get practice using a bow, which helps when you use it for combat and hunting. I found both a lot easier after practising shooting the targets. For new players reading this, my understanding is that Mutt (the dog) is only available via DLC.

@@turismo_gaming Yes, Mutt is available from Woman's Lot DLC Assuming new players are looking at the Royal edition on Nintendo Switch

Hey. Which bit are you stuck on? Could you share a timestamp and I can have a look 🙂

I agree the older a game gets there are less new things to discover, and the optimal, or most efficient ways to play (like builds) are revealed. But the video is addressing ways to make money and gain xp early in a playthrough, when you are low level. Hope that provides some clarification 🙂

Game was just released for switch so this will be super useful for those just starting.

@@zorkminer Thanks for raising the Switch release. I hope the video is useful for those first time players!

​@@zorkminerswit h gamers are in for a treat.. I just bought it for 8 bucks on steam and wow, I'm so immersed 😊

$8? 😮 That is an amazing deal, especially if that included the DLCs!

You're welcome. Hope the video was helpful 🙂

Nvm, character refused to grab the lower thing and go around the knob lol

There's at least a few instances when you expect the kid to grab something, they don't, you then look for a different path, only to try again and realise you were on the right path originally 😀

Thanks heaps for the comment and feedback! 🙂

Thanks for the question. That's right! But additional enemies do spawn so the guide focuses on completing the quest quickly, and in a repeatable manner. Hope it helped 🙂

Glad it helped!! When I realised each of these I couldn't believe I had missed them lol, like the video title, they drove me crazy 🤣

Thank you very much for the kind words! Moving on to quests 11 and 12.

​@@turismo_gaming 2 quest's I wasn't able to do XD and your welcome your guides really helped me out 💜

Thanks so much for your comment. I wasn't sure if these guides were of interest to anyone 🙂

​@@turismo_gaming Well I love them I wasn't able to do it with other guides you saved me tysm

Thanks for the feedback! I have some more P5T videos coming soon.

@@turismo_gaming I am gladd 😌

Hey have you played since 13 November last year? If not, load up the game, you should automatically get these appearances like I show in the video. Hope that helps.
