In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Henry carries over his combat experience from the first game but will need to relearn techniques during his new adventure. Players can engage in melee combat, but to improve skills, they must find masters to teach new moves. Combat is complex, and adding new moves to your repertoire is essential for winning battles.
There are various weapon masters in KCD2, such as Tomcat, Barnaby, Captain Gnarly, and Black Bartosch, who can teach different combat techniques. Tomcat teaches Master Strikes and weapon combos for free after a battle. Barnaby specializes in hand-to-hand combat and requires completing a series of quests to learn combos. Captain Gnarly teaches combos for longswords, polearms, and heavy weapons after meeting him during specific quests.
After completing quests like Wedding Crashers and For Whom The Bell Tolls, players can access Trosky Castle and learn from Black Bartosch. Requesting a training fight from Bartosch can earn Strength XP, but players should be cautious of sustaining too much damage. Each master can be found on the map with a Skill Teacher icon, and learning from them is crucial for mastering combat in KCD2.
