[@nelsonbanzuela9946]

I purchased the royal version with all the DLCs.. got beaten by kunesh and retried for 30 minutes. Saw lockpicking on YT and got discouraged. Uninstalled the game on my ps... 2 years later, then I saw this vid. I installed the game again and had crazy fun. Im on normal mode now, followed every step of this guide. I mastered lockpicking! It's f-ing hard on console but there is a secret technique completely different. Switch to simplified lockpicking on settings. Retry lockpick until you see the smallest circle show up (so the sweet spot will be on outermost, the smallest the better). Put your right thumb and right index with pinching motion on right joystick then steadily follow sweet spot. I can lockpick everything without savior snapps now. 😂 Thanks for this guide bro... i found my love for KCD ❤️

@delos2279 Band of Bastards is one of my favs! The characters are epic. Won't spoil anything here as far as the plot line to it, just that it becomes avaliable after your first big "battle" (in case you're wondering when you can access that one.)

an absolute pleasure to watch

[@Griff_Gaming]

Thank you!

[@frog6353]

tbh, you don't need to do any of this imo. What I suggest is speedrun until you reach rattay, do the first Peshek quest to unlock his inventory; get your lockpicking to level 6 for that 'luck of the drunk' perk. Rob the armour shop in Rattay (easy to do in broad daylight, just remove all of your clothes for that 0 noise). Dump all of that loot in Peshek's inventory chest. Wait 2-3 days for him to sell all of the loot and take his money from the chest. You can of course rob the other stores in Rattay. I was able to get near maxed out gear and 100k groschen in 1.5 hours. Don't do this if you want to enjoy the game; I only did this so that I could speedrun the game for achievements.

For the Shout out on the secret service🐊

[@Strat-Guides]

You're the man Cesar, thank you so much!!!

[@Salty_Mike]

Not sure if you are reading this, but if you want to turn all your stolen gear into coin, just sell everything to the Apothecary in Rattay. After a day or two, he sells everything you sold him, and he gets a massive amount of coin that you can simply steal from the back of his shop, accessed through the alchemist bench.

[@Strat-Guides]

Easier to do it with Peshek TBH. He has the same thing and he only has 1 chest right by his house. This does apply to any merchants in the game though, just each have varying degrees of how easy their invetory chests are to access

[@Salty_Mike]

​@@Strat-Guides That's correct, but you get double the money from the Apothecary instead of Peshek. That's why I suggested it-it's more efficient. The amount of money the trader gets from overselling is based on what the trader would have given you for that. Peshek always gives you a very low amount compared to normal traders.

[@geolefleur4908]

KCD is sooo well made

[@Griff_Gaming]

Hopefully KCD 2 is even better!

[@MattSolnick]

Ive been watching your previous guide sooo many times over the past week. Thank you for making this update!

[@TheJerryfu63]

My tips: 1. In the beginning, found a corner that can’t jump(stocked) in Henry’s house. Continuously jump at that corner, you will rise vitality quickly. A higher vitality makes you exercise better 😂 2. You don’t have to carry all those junks to Rattay for money. If you had 6+ lockpicking and learned luck of the drunk. The first night in Rattay(or maybe some other days after have the skill), sneak into smith armorer tayler shop steal all of their merchandises. Sneak into alchemist’s shop , store all stolen items into his chest. Wait outside till 9 or 10 am. When he opens the store, the chest updates and changes those items to money. Sneak to his chest again, gets 3-40k gorsens. 3. Kill Johanka before meet henry’s friends in front of deutch’s house. The guard won’t come because Johanka died and wouldn’t call them😂 And then the game is bugged, you can hit all those 6 boys as you wish. You can train all your weapons skills to 20 including str and agi. And remember this game is bugged….you can only save and load again one and only one chance after this…the game will be halted after 2nd load game. So get out of this town asap after you prepared.

[@pantherxdoesit3425]

It's actually possible to take out the bailiff without actually alerting the ground. In the drinking animation when the npc sitting to his left looks away just exactly before that hold F the NPC will not be looking at that moment and u'll be able to knock and quickloot the bailiff easily.😂😅

[@Griff_Gaming]

It is but it's inconstant, I've had sometimes it worked and others it didn't so I figured an easy escape, wanted or not was the best way to explain and make it accessible for others to try. Having split second timing in a guide is something I try to avoid just to not close the possibility off for others. But if you can do it without being wanted, more power to you!

Hey again, while trying this, it said to get the lockpicks from our friends for looting the Deutch's house--before doing the manure mission. Problem is, you get the lockpicks FROM doing the manure mission. Must be missing something, I don't know how to get a lockpick without that mission 5:07

[@Strat-Guides]

You can get the lockpicks before then too - you need to make sure you don't beat the old man up, walk up to his chest and get the dialogue about Fritz giving lockpicks. The go immediately to the tavern, after the cut scene talk to Fritz before he runs off and you'll get them!

It is possible to level up Herbalism up to 10 before finishing the Sword. At the point, there are two perks to consider at 10. Botanist, which makes herbs sold at 15% higher, or Leg Day which gives Strength Experience when you gather herbs. Which is the preferred perk out of the two?

[@Strat-Guides]

Leg Day, 100%. Most herbs are sold for 0.1 groschen so not only do you rarely profit from that one, you also need to have a LOT of herbs to actually benefit and find correct buyers to sell to. The order should always be Flower Power at level 5, Leg day at level 10, then you can pick whatever you want at level 15 and 20 since both the others are both kinda meh

On Xbox, currently in my experience, they quietly patched the guy forking hay in the beginning to be invincible to stealth knock outs, and will ruin your reputation and run away if you try to fist fight him (I didn’t wait further to see if he ran for the guards or not, I reset my game from there.) So if anyone’s ‘having trouble with stealth knockouts’, that’s the only problem. Just ignore that guy unfortunately. Not sure why they did this just prior to KCD2 coming out, but they clearly did.

[@iradenlinger3085]

works fine on ps5

[@Norinia]

@ Well, I did multiple save scums all throughout the process, and he was one of the sole people who I could never knock out no matter what. Even the guards just needed to be caught unaware. Could just be a thing on Xbox. I was reading apparently the Xbox forums for the game were abandoned, which does NOT speak good the bug side of things might be. (And yeah, went to Talmberg, right after finishing the cutscene, suddenly, my every breath was considered ‘rude’ while I was just trying to get something to eat in the kitchen, and my rep plummeted for seemingly no reason.) Still going through with it though, since I suck PC side, and I refuse to get a PS5 (got one at launch (got lucky and followed the tips, f^ck scalpers) and decided it wasn’t for me) so Xbox is one of the only ways to go. I can’t imagine trying this out on the switch XD

Just started a hard-core playthrough (1st one) min maxing in skalitz cos it's GUNNA be rough dealing with a 1vs many in hard-core the first couple times, 😂 need to get that combat training up once I'm outta the intro, for now I'm picking flowers, thinning out the guards a little bit and a few annoying npcs whos routes will become a liability when I begin leveling my lock picking,,(I use tge merchants store method, go upstairs pick the easy chest, jump about a bit make noise ect, gaurd from out front comes upstairs, locks the door on his way bk out after taking a look, fastest way I've found so far with the least running around, then I'll empty every locked chest in the town, do yeah another inventory dump in the chest n get ready to go power level strength and stuff,,, 😅gunna be DAYS before I'm getting ready to kill every killable cuman 😂

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

​@@Griff_Gaming this is my new favorite channel

[@Griff_Gaming]

@@theoutsiderjess1869 hope to have more great stuff coming!

[@Moonhowler89]

When you wake up in Rattay, should you do the miller stuff first before going to level your skills? I don't want Pecheck mad at me :P

[@Latwis]

Thanks!

[@Griff_Gaming]

Thanks for watching!

[@kukuc_4920]

Good video :D, Btw this game is really hard so thx for tutorial :DDDD

[@lwinland83]

I am having trouble getting the bailiff, it is almost like a guard is spawning in the path I need to run. I always check to see if it is clear

[@mrgadsing1246]

i played through the game 5 times and never realized that i could choose skills at the very start, Great. Lovely. All that pain... Could've avoided some of it...

[@davindu453]

Every time I pick up one nettle it goes into a mini cutscene to show him picking it up, is there a way I can remove that mini cutscene?

[@Strat-Guides]

Only way is to use a mod (on PC)

[@dadjyker58]

How did you get your hood up at 0:43

[@NingreenGupta]

Waiting for the answer too)

[@dadjyker58]

Oh nevermind, it's a mod, and he put the link in the description

[@sicecko]

How did you have the hood iver your head?

[@Strat-Guides]

@@sicecko that's a mod!

[@joanmanelpratpla4801]

All the stuff that you robb in skalice, you leave it in the box on henry's house? Or at some point you can take it back?

[@Strat-Guides]

@joanmanelpratpla4801 when you're burying your parents you can pick them up. You'll be overburdened for a few steps, but the quest that starts you off at rattay will have all your stuff in the chest there when you wake up!

[@joanmanelpratpla4801]

​@@Strat-Guides I have to tell you that during two days i hated u so much. It has been a nightmare the lockpicking...

[@LetsSeeYourKungFu]

jus bought the game. its hilarious that the way to be efficient is to choke somebody out immediately. savage xD

[@kazak4x4]

I restarted the game and followed the guide completely and I am not getting a quest prompt to talk to Fritz about the lockpicks when I look at the chest, any idea what I could have missed?

[@Strat-Guides]

Speak to father first who will prompt you to collect from Kunesh. Then speak to Kunesh. When the game prompts you to get the tools another way, Henry shoudl audibly say something after looking at the chest

[@SpoogySock]

How do you put the hood up like that?

[@Strat-Guides]

It's a mod!

[@Atharva.Sri.7]

awesome guide, thanks

[@MrTurtlelicious]

At 9:35 on the road to the right, a guy walks on the road just outside of view with the best gambesons (Quarted combat jacket) in the game, the yellow and black one. If you run this way as he is in the video, you can jump over the tiny stream of water with the horse which glitches the Cumans out, making them turn back around to use the road over the water instead. Giving you some time to kill this guy and jump of to grab the jacket before they come around. This is the earliest i've found to get this piece of armor, and might as well pick it up here if you are maxing out the game fast.

[@Griff_Gaming]

Very true but it's the very same one we get at 11:30. In my experience to kill that NPC usually requires you to stab a couple times and it shred the jacket unfortunately whereas the Chamberlains is usually a bit higher condition so it can be repaired by Henry rather than needing to be taken to the merchants for repair

[@MrTurtlelicious]

@@Griff_Gaming If i remember it correctly, you can get it close to perfect condition as long as you are aiming for the head. You are correct though.. The pristine one at 11:30 is probably way easier to get. I just like getting this one because it is a fun challenge. And also good for helping out leveling up maintenance when you get yourself some tailor kits!

[@MarcusAureliusAnAugustus]

Henry, the Nettle picker.

[@theorixlux]

Nice!😊

[@Griff_Gaming]

Thank you!

[@llamaking447]

For the most part a great guide, however you rush through some parts which i didnt understand where it was specifically like the scavenger guide bit.

[@Strat-Guides]

I do it a little slower paced in the Livestream linked in the description do it's a bit easier to follow in real time

[@G8oo8N8]

B.s. I broke my lock picks in the beginning and missing out on all that locked up loot. Sad times. Edit: dont do this ur first run

[@Uruichi813]

How do you do this all this without saving?

[@douggiles7647]

Playing on PS4 and every time I go to take the saddle it's always at 0 condition for some reason, although I've heard it makes no difference in functionality it definitely drops the sale value lol.

[@kylewilson1238]

how are you picking hard level chests at such a low level? It doesn't even give me the option.

[@Strat-Guides]

@kylewilson1238 you need to get the lower level locks first to gain some lock picking levels. I think at level 6 with luck of the drunk perk and some alcohol you cab unlock anything

[@nenasiek]

How is Henrys hood up?

[@Strat-Guides]

It's a mod!

[@nenasiek]

Ah ok i thought u played on console since u mentioned a controller.

[@famek_]

By the way do not pick up nails for Theresa in the beginning of the game because it bugs the game in a way you can't gel lockpicks

[@xannay]

LOCKPICKS CORRECTION: When talking to your friends, just say you are in. Do not ask for help in return, or you won't get the lockpicks. To be sure you get them, ask Fritz for a lock picks right away, right when boys start to run to Deutsch's house. (I only started to play a couple days ago, so I guess it might have something to do with updates.) Also, I've found out if you run to Bianka as quickly as possible after obtaining the lockpicks, you will have the most dialogue options. You need to ask really quickly, skipping all dialogue, not reading/listeting to it whole. I am not sure why, I think you need to ask before the boys reach Deutsch's house, but I did not test it too thoroughly. So, you need to run to Bianca --> quickly ask about Matthias and then if she saw your friends. Other dialogue options stay the same, just do not ask about beer as is mentioned in the video. And pardon my English, I am not playing it in English and I am not from an English-speaking country. I hope my comment still makes sense. :)

[@Griff_Gaming]

No, you can get the lockpicks even if you ask them for their help. There hasn't been an update in several years and this was recorded just a couple weeks before posting so everything I did in the video can be done

[@xannay]

@@Griff_Gaming Really? I just played it and repeated that part as I was trying something and it didn't offer me that dialogue when I asked them for help. I must've done something differently then. I believe you more than I believe myself. :) I thought as they are helping me anyway I am not in need of those lockpics anymore. :D
