Exploiting the Prologue for a FREE HORSE, Easy Money, and Fast Leveling | Kingdom Come Starter Guide

"The container" Absolute legendary exploit.

[@TrialBySquire]

@@MrSeekerOfPeace We all contain multitudes, but some also contain several sets of cuman armor and a bunch of expired produce... Thanks for the early engagement, Bud; I'm glad you enjoyed. 🍻

[@MrSeekerOfPeace]

​@@TrialBySquireAn easy way to get 3+ good strength is to pick herbs with the leg day perk and Skalitz has plenty of them. Making the fights required for this exploit alot easier.

[@TrialBySquire]

@MrSeekerOfPeace That's fair! Definitely a reliable method that doesn't risk reputation. I, personally, find leg day a lot of work for payoff, overall. It certainly works although I'd rather fight tournament in Rattay. However, if we're talking Skalitz... You can get to level 3 or 4 strength, without numbskull, just from vanyek training. That last part where you do chain strikes- get him loosely in the corner and then spam stab for like 3+minutes (without using any movement inputs). If you can keep the stabbing up it all counts as only 1 chain strike completed. He will eventually time you out but it's a very nice starting bump that won't get you in trouble. After that, I abuse Kunesh...

[@helicalgoose]

Ah yes, he has returned! This video had to take quite awhile to do! It looks great and quite smooth! The new PC is really doing its work! Here have a drink! *starts pouring a drink*

[@TrialBySquire]

@@helicalgoose Thanks, Bud! It was certainly a process learning the software and there's a lot more to learn but I'm pretty happy with this first step.Definitely better workflow than my last editing machine. I appreciate your encouragement, Sir Goose!

[@jeffsitumorang]

What an absolute mad lad!

They say the only cure is KCD 2...

[@Hadras7094]

Definitely checking this out later. Looking forward to see what you discovered!

[@TrialBySquire]

@@Hadras7094 it's a doozie, and a nice alternative to crushing the souls of the Skalitz residents. I hope you enjoy, Bud! My first PC edit so I'm open to some constructive criticism on the editing, if you have any sage wisdom to impart.

[@barondeadfish5890]

Again with a great guide my friend!. Amazing exploit, would love to try in my own run

[@TrialBySquire]

@@barondeadfish5890 Thank you, Baron. It was a long gap in content, for sure, but it should be easier to keep up the cadence going forward. I'm glad you enjoyed, and I'm glad you're back making content as well!

[@barondeadfish5890]

Humorous as always too. "Container" had me dying. But on the note of me being back. I wouldn't be back without your support and that of our fellows.

[@TrialBySquire]

For real. We got ourselves a fine community.

[@FarissimoID]

Dude, how did you even find some of these stuff?? Great stuff man, some are hilarious even.

[@TrialBySquire]

@@FarissimoID Oh man, mostly by accident. I notice something weird happen and then I'm down a rabbit hole (hare hole?) for days trying to make it useful for you lot. I'm happy you like the content! This was my first video edited on PC instead of mobile so lots of learning to do. I hope the next one is even more polished. 🙏

@@TrialBySquire This is already good for first time editing on PC, keep up the good work man!

[@UnclePengy]

15 playthroughs and I only recently learned about the "jumping the wall of the ore processing yard" glitch.

[@TrialBySquire]

The bright side is you get to start playthrough #16!

[@UnclePengy]

@@TrialBySquire Indeed!

[@english_tomato]

olena is the true best horse pebbles is a mere pretender.

[@TrialBySquire]

@@english_tomato Now if we can just figure out a way to keep her!

[@Dominik40301]

How dare you to have bugged T pose Henry!

[@TrialBySquire]

@@Dominik40301 Right?! It's both funny and annoying, especially when he phases through the horse and you see his head poking through. An abomination, to be sure.

[@Dominik40301]

@TrialBySquire i suppose its due to mods since i never got this golden version of Henry

[@TrialBySquire]

@Dominik40301 I don't run mods. This is the Xbox version

[@Ausf]

Did you try equipping better shoes on Olena before she disappears? Perhaps that can counteract the speed loss.

[@TrialBySquire]

@@Ausf that's a really fascinating question! I will test it, for sure. I fear it won't matter any more than removing the tack beforehand did but since it's a different tack slot and is adding to instead of emptying a slot, I suppose there's a chance. Definitely worth a try since, theoretically, that would mean a double shoe bonus (the invisible one from olena and the physical one added to the new horse). That opens the door to horse armor double buffs as well so it'd be sweet if it worked out. I'll replace her plain saddle with a noble one as well in hopes that the loss is reduced from that slot.

[@Ausf]

@@TrialBySquire I'm not sure when the buff is applied from tack, but if it's before you even get the horse, it might be possible to mod their tack, or change the stats of the horse you want. Either way, it's great that you can have any horse you can ride, including horses you didn't have access to, even with Cheat mod. I don't have the game installed to test, but it would be great if you could have Capon's horse, and then you could presumably have a caparison without the mane sticking out. I know there's a mod that removes all manes, but I prefer normal horses to have them.

[@TrialBySquire]

I just finished a test. For convenience, I just used what I had easy access to. Before reaching Talmberg I equipped olena with noble saddle (4 bags), Calvary bridle, and travel horseshoes. This should have reduced the saddle debuff to only -1 speed and the travel shoes would give a percentage boost to speed (olena was at 38 speed before turning in, up from 30). This produced no change to Jenda after the cutscene. Bummer. Still 35 speed with no tack applied (also no tack transferred to jendas inventory). It was a cool theory and I'm glad you brought it up. This was done on Xbox and I used no mods. I would think on PC there's probably a file somewhere that details olena's tack. In that case, it may be possible to give olena no saddle and military horseshoes (could do bridles and armor but those reduce speed). In that instance, I'd be interested to see if the buff/debuffs are consistent with the new tack or the original.

[@Ausf]

@@TrialBySquire Thanks for testing. I don't know how to create mods myself, but I have seen mods that alter horse stats, so I definitely think it should be possible to give Olena shoes, or remove the saddle. Either way, very good find that you can get any horse at all that you can ride.

[@Zaki00-g7c]

From which website did you download these gamers?

[@TrialBySquire]

@@Zaki00-g7c pardon? This was played and captured on Xbox series x

[@tannerelliott1723]

How’s the new pc?

[@TrialBySquire]

@@tannerelliott1723 lots of growing pains on my end but the computer is performing admirably! The editing software ran smooth throughout the whole edit; very snappy. I have a ton to learn about DaVinci but I felt pretty good about this first release. Thank you for asking! How's your KCD 2 hype going? Taking all the news in or avoiding spoilers?

[@tannerelliott1723]

@ definitely avoiding most videos so I do not catch any spoilers I’m keeping the news to a minimum lol but I’m super excited

[@p4radigm989]

this is just stupid. all that effort to cheat, is more work than playing it without breaking and exploiting the game.

[@TrialBySquire]

@p4radigm989 With respect- The exploit to get the horse is a very small diversion on the way to Talmberg (much less time than earning the money to get it). That armor worth 27k was farmed just as efficiently as playing the game any other way (if not more efficiently). I didn't farm the cuman for skills (as stated) but even that's faster than, say, fighting Bernard. I finished the prologue you saw in this video in 1hr 15mins with a horse and a bunch of money. Many people don't get out of skalitz in that time... I can respect if you don't like exploits or "breaking the game" but the video is clearly marked as an exploit. Not all of my guides are exploits if you prefer one of those methods, instead. It's just about how you want to play. Some of us Henrys have played this game over a thousand hours. It's just something different, a new way. I've played this game so many different ways and most of them legitimate playthroughs with added handicaps. I don't recommend this method for someone's first playthrough but why not have fun with it on your 5th or 15th?

[@p4radigm989]

@@TrialBySquire sure you can have fun, I think this method suck though. I lockpicked every chest in Skalitz had level 5 or 6 lockpicking, left Talmberg with a ton of loot, put it into the Inn chest, and in Rattay stole every armor from the Merchant and sold it back to him after a few days. that's way more profitable, while also leveling up lockpicking, can then steal a horse ride to a Stable and buy one or just do the Hunting Quest with Hans to get a free horse anyway.

[@TrialBySquire]

@p4radigm989 I've stolen every item in Skalitz and Talmberg during the prologue, alongside killing the cuman during the escape without exploits. I get it. By the time I got to the Mill it was 9000 weight in items worth over 151k groschen. That was not time efficient, though. Plenty of fun, but not efficient. Lockpicking in skalitz is way slower than starting with peshek and then leveling up in ledetchko. Or, with an exploit, I can get to level 6 lockpicking in 13 minutes after waking at the mill. I've done it all. I've made my money from only gambling, or only alchemy, or not spent any money at all for the whole playthrough. If you're selling items to a merchant (especially the one that stocks what you're selling) then you're already doing things in a less efficient way. It's a single player game. If it's fun for you then it's time well spent. I don't understand the hate. Don't like it? Don't do it. Your way is just A way, not THE way. This game is massive and being open to possibilities is kinda the whole point of an RPG. I hope you and your Henry enjoy yourselves in the way of your choosing. I'll continue to provide other Henrys options to keep their playthroughs interesting.

[@dschoene57]

I have to agree. This is a rather weird way of playing the game. It breaks immersion and negates any sense in playing any further once you are in Rattay. The whole point of the game is to see Henry grow from a piss-poor villager to a wealthy fighter. What's the point if you simply side-step that completely. The whole thing gets boring after 4 quests if you already have everything.

[@TrialBySquire]

@dschoene57 I do agree this breaks immersion for Henry's story but if you've already played the normal way this can offer something new. I think it depends what you do with it. This wouldn't be for a first playthrough but you could craft a challenge run around it, by picking an intentionally terrible horse that you wouldn't otherwise be able to buy and placing restrictions on one's self (weapon, armor, perks, etc). While 90% of my personal playthroughs are about making the game harder for myself, let's not forget that others have different priorities and some want to experience the story without the difficulty. That's their choice; I'm just glad they're playing the game at all. And sometimes it's just fun breaking the game and going where you aren't supposed to, even if you only play that way a few hours before ultimately resetting.
