Learn how to complete the combat training I and II quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and what are their advantages.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers a lot more intuitive combat system than the original game. It is similar to its predecessor but more polished and improved. You get to learn and practice the basic combat maneuvers including perfect block, parrying, and counterattacking. However, it is crucial that you learn some weapon combos and techniques that will help you tackle difficult and more experienced enemies in the game. Facing difficult enemies in a hand-to-combat with basic attacks and maneuvers will always end badly for you. It is because these enemies can do perfect blocks and counterattacks on your attacks which can make you tiring in a few ripostes.
The best way to tackle such enemies is to perform weapon combos on them or make use of weapon techniques to catch them off-guard in their attacks. Fortunately, there are a couple of combat training that you can complete early in the game to learn the combos and techniques. In this guide, we will walk you through how to complete Combat Training I and II quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Combat Training I and II Quests Overview in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Combat Training I and II are the side quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 that allow you to learn new weapon combos and techniques. Master Tomcat, an experienced soldier will teach you the weapon combos and techniques as you pursue these quests. The Combat Training I quest becomes available once you get access to the open world. In this quest, Tomcat will teach you two weapon combos for swords.
Upon completing the Combat Training I quest, Combat Training II becomes available requiring you to defeat Tomcat in a duel. As you defeat Tomcat, he will teach you a sword technique.
How to Prepare for Combat Training I and II Quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The Combat Training I is one of the earliest and most important side quests in the game. There are not any specific preparations that you need to do for the Combat Training I quest. However, for the Combat Training II quest, you must get yourself armour. Otherwise, Tomcat will easily defeat you in a couple of hits and leave you obliterated.
Despite Training Combat II becoming available instantly after the first training combat, you must not accept the challenge straight away, unless you have decent armour equipped. You will normally get good armour while pursuing the main quests in the first region. However, if you want to get good armour early, pursue the Blacksmith’s route for the Wedding Crashers quest. This route will also help you get a shield which can be quite helpful during a duel with Tomcat. Moreover, you can also steal armour without killing any enemy or a guard. Go to Troskowitz and rob keys from any guard. After that, go to a small shack left of the Tavern in the courtyard. Use the keys to unlock the shack and then unlock the chest to get the armour.
How to Complete Combat Training I Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The Combat Training I is a simple quest that requires you to learn two sword combos from Tomcat and practice them on him. To begin the Combat Training I quest, you have to go to the Nomad Camp and speak with Tomcat. If he is sleeping or not near the arena, pass the time until morning.
Here are all the objectives of Combat Training I in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Go and See Tomcat
Once you gain access to the open world, the Training Combat I quest will get marked on your map. You need to meet with Tomcat and ask him to teach you some combos for the sword weapons. Tomcat can be found in the Nomad Camp, located northwest of Semine. Follow the objective marker to reach the Nomad Camp and speak with Tomcat. Select the “Are you good with a Sword” dialogue option to tell him that you need his knowledge of swords for the fights. He will agree to help you free of cost.
Perform a natural combo
Enter the arena with Tomcat and speak with him to begin the training. Tomcat will give you a training sword and tell you to perform a Natural Combo. To perform a Natural Combo, attack from the right, left, and right, or vice versa. You need to land all three hits in quick succession from the correct side. If you fail to land any strike or attack from a wrong attack, you have to perform the combo from the start. Make sure to change the attack side or arrows according to the attacks to perform a correct combo.
Make a true combo (Horizontal Slice)
To perform a true combo, you need to land three strikes in short succession from the up, right, and left sides. This combo is harder than the natural combo to land. You have to be quick on both attacks and change the attack directions. This combo attack is essential against the tougher opponents who block your attacks regularly. Hitting them with this combo will catch them off-guard with the belly strike at the end of this combo.
As you practice the true combo, the Training Combat I quest will conclude. Speak with Tomcat and go through the dialogues, it will begin the Combat Training II quest automatically.
How to Complete Combat Training II Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The Combat Training II is a simple quest as well but a bit harder than the first one, as it requires you to first defeat Tomcat. Upon defeating Tomcat, he will teach you the Master Strike technique that allows you to do an advanced riposte without blocking.
Here are all the objectives of Training Combat II in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Defeat Tomcat in a duel
Equip the armour on full body and go to Tomcat to challenge him in a duel. Enter the arena with Tomcat and speak with Tomcat to begin the duel. Tomcat is a tough opponent and it might take you a few tries before you can defeat him. Here are a few tips that can help you in a fight.
- Tomcat mostly equips the sword either on the right or the left side. Wait for him to lift his shoulder for an attack and then quickly stab him in the lower body. This will help you get a few hits on him.
- Do not waste stamina on repeated riposte. Simply block and back up to refill stamina.
- Perform the true combo on Tomcat to deal great damage to him.
Learn the master strike from Tomcat
Upon defeating Tomcat, he will teach you the master strike. The master strike is all about counter-attacking without riposting. You can perform the master strike with any sword whether it is one-hand or two-hand. To perform the Master strike, you must attack from the opposite angle at the time of an opponent’s attack. For instance, if an enemy is attacking you from the left side, attack from the right side when the green shield symbol appears.
While practicing with Tomcat, you will first have to attack from the right side. After that, he will tell you to attack from below when he attacks from the up. Once done, perform the master strike on Tomcat a few times to complete the training.
Go through the final dialogues and the Combat Training II will conclude.
