[pine loom]

@dense mantle I beat the veteran boss!!!!!

[rapid bronze]

[acoustic dagger]

[rapid bronze]

it was in announcements

[acoustic dagger]

[rapid bronze]

[acoustic dagger]

[rapid bronze]

ive started playing CK3 now and i love it

the diplomacy is awesome

[wind charm]

I hold Q to put it on my back

[rapid bronze]

you should see where else he can put it ;) ;)

[acoustic dagger]

tys

[rapid bronze]

@wind charm i didnt know you were meme manager

[dense mantle]

[pine loom]

Bet

jarvis

[compact wyvern]

is it a bug for my rank progress to stop at 11?

[novel spear]

m00

does enhance pointer precision help in half sword

do you use it

[dense mantle]

oh to be a halberd. so close to willies willie, while my head is close to his feet. I LOVE WILLIES FEET SIGHTINGS AND RP

[spring forge]

I just threw a left hook so hard that it crashed the fucking game

[pine loom]

Ok I’m at the man at arms boss

[lunar goblet]

Range is king

[pine loom]

Damn

[hidden whale]

finally have completed the ultimate challenge

time to destroy

[pine loom]

Fuck yea bruh

[lunar goblet]

Golden man time

[compact wyvern]

idk why but the ultimate challenge isn't progressing for me anymore, its just stuck at 11/11

[dense mantle]

have you clicked the top the classs

its the baron

[pine loom]

IM AT FUCKING KNIGHT!!!!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

[compact wyvern]

the baron doesn't have any armor or weapons for me, and Im too afraid to fight whatevers ahead without any gear

[dense mantle]

smooth sailing through this part imo. have fun. and prepare for the final challenge

[dense mantle]

thats the whole point of the ultimate challenge

ill tell you how it works

random enenmies spawn in

you kill them

they drop gear

you take their gear

profit

[compact wyvern]

hmm alright thanks for the info, sorry I was just really worried I was gonna fight the baron immedietly with no gear

[lunar goblet]

No really, the billhook is hilarious

[dense mantle]

refer to my guide for tips on how to beat the final boss #halfsword-chat-⚔ message @compact wyvern

[scenic temple]

is it just a skill issue for me because i just cant beat the boss before the final boss

[lunar goblet]

When going through the waves, don't be afraid to leave one guy alive and dig through for the best gear while straffing him

[dense mantle]

MOST IMPORTANT PART IN IT IS TO NOT BE AFRAID OF GIVING UP. YOU LOSE NO PROGRESS IN RANKS. YOU JUST GET SENT BACK TO UNARMED BARON. NO LOSS @compact wyvern

[lunar goblet]

Poleaxe

[scenic temple]

ok thx

[dense mantle]

agreed. i put in my guide. for the like last 4 bosses i just say "pollax volgue or billhook

[lunar goblet]

Big bonk on head

[dense mantle]

i shouldve put that the plancon (spiky stick) is SO op in the baron area

[lunar goblet]

I've never seen one spawn

[dense mantle]

alas i will save that for Blues Guide 2.0(better images, more indepth)

[dense mantle]

its the militia tier. they spawn rare, but are so useful

especially with light armor

just run around 1 shotting knights

[pine loom]

Bro I just waited for 5 minutes for a guy to give up that wasn’t even off the ground

[dense mantle]

i put in my guide idk if you saw it. but if you hold your weapon to their neck when theyre onthe ground, after like 3 seconds they give up

[dire tide]

sometimes you cut off both of ros arms and one leg and still have to wait for him to wake up to give up....

[pine loom]

Oh,ok

[glad matrix]

does anyone have a max save i could have, i just lost everything in the ultimate challenge bc my axe did a breakdance and chopped my own leg off

[lunar goblet]

Spikey stick is indeed strong

[dense mantle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/comments/1jp6n79/save_file_to_unlock_all_classes/

[glad matrix]

oh okay ty

[dense mantle]

see trust🙏🏻 ( i used this to carry me on my baron win run)

one shotting knights is crazy with it in it

[dense island]

Great Grey Wolf Sif should play when you have to fight the final boss

[dense mantle]

sadly didnt use it against baron. i dropped it and it disappeared

[barren basin]

Is it me or grabbing has been useless?

[storm storm]

how do you wear shields on your back

[dense mantle]

hold Q

[storm storm]

no fucking way

[dense mantle]

tower goes on back. buckler goes on lower left of bodyu

[dense mantle]

just you.

on a serious note. it is effictive. less so now. but still very effective if done right

you have to manage your stamina. and also choose a good location to grab to give you more leverage

[compact wyvern]

I died at the baron... D:

[pine loom]

I’m at the knight boss

Wish me luck

[dense mantle]

eesh. hope you survive the void. like i said. dont be afraid to give up during the baron fight

[compact wyvern]

oh wait the void revives you-

[dense mantle]

get his ass

run him over

[pine loom]

I will

[compact wyvern]

I just keep quitting cause I thought it would be the abyss

[dense mantle]

if you survive the bosses yes

[prisma aspen]

ngl i was expecting a cooler enemy

[lunar goblet]

That one felt good.

[prisma aspen]

his armor has the same gaps if not more than the previous one

[lunar goblet]

Honestly, the entire baron arena is not that hard at all as long as you don't try to speedrun it

[dense mantle]

except for the fact youre 8 ft tall and your weapon has insane range. so they cant get to your gaps unless you suck

[prisma aspen]

i killed the last two through the penis gaps mister

[dense mantle]

i had to speed run it because my game kept crashing. but then i figured out if youturn off blood it doesnt

[prisma aspen]

that one you're just closer to

[mint wadi]

Just had this dude with the scythe cut off...this part of my body.

That's such a wild piece to just...not have anymore.

[rapid bronze]

oof

[rapid bronze]

i mean that depends..

[mint wadi]

Anyways I lived for about another 30 seconds before giving up cause I was bleeding out.

[lunar goblet]

Got him back for ya

[rapid bronze]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3gNbMbZO0Hjs1CZRXM5L5G?si=ff2e9356c0794a55 kind of a banger

[mint wadi]

Thank you.

[pine loom]

IM ON THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dense mantle]

considering you dont have a diaphram. lungs. serratus abteruir ivkuqyes abs or latissimus dorsi. you would be fucked

no more moving

[rapid bronze]

seta what?

[dense mantle]

hell yeah man, remember remember remember. dont be afraid to give us

[dense mantle]

Serratus anterior, assists in scaplular movement

[pine loom]

Give us what?

[rapid bronze]

MAYN i dont speak no dang chinese!!

give up*

lol

[dense mantle]

sorry give up. like the hold G button

[pine loom]

Oh

[mint wadi]

It's actually Latin

[pine loom]

Speaking of that,I use the give up button as a strategy

[storm storm]

how is that chinese

[rapid bronze]

NAWWWWWWWWWHHH REALLY? 😂

[storm storm]

???

[rapid bronze]

im kidding obviously

[dense mantle]

yep, means saw like. because of its structure

[mint wadi]

Im just kidding it's chinese.

[pine loom]

I hold down the give up button so enemies leave me alone and then I let go

[mint wadi]

I love the slo-mo button.

[dense mantle]

yep, that and. if you feel like youre going to die, or are badly injured. just give up

you lose no progress

[whole pagoda]

does anyone have a pic of the final boss for knights?

I died just before getting there

[rapid bronze]

hes big guy in full armor with mace and door shield iirc

[prisma aspen]

wowie

[haughty dragon]

thats probably how people actually saw out of them 💀

[dense mantle]

put on the funny helmet. the one with the middle part. its a barbute

[prisma aspen]

giga kite shield, bronze mace, longsword as a backup; wearing a darkened full plate and an armet

[novel spear]

give me some suggestions so that i could make more photos of golden guy

[haughty dragon]

I wish it didnt make me lose my stam so fast tho

[prisma aspen]

grab yer willy and just

https://tenor.com/view/ballin-ball-dunk-basketball-meme-gif-22501240

[pine loom]

My game crashed

[prisma aspen]

anyways i had to damage slide the final fight cuz the game is worse than a slideshow

more than 2 enemies at any time is unplayable

[mint wadi]

You know I was trying to show off slow motion but I'm just going to pretend I meant to do this.

[prisma aspen]

does anyone know what happened with the steam reviews?

[storm storm]

🤯

[storm storm]

nothing happened to it

[prisma aspen]

ANSWERS mf not commoner shiteposting

[storm storm]

???

mf nothing changed

[prisma aspen]

or you're just disinformed

[whole pagoda]

what has caused the performance to drop from the old abyss demo?

what is da big performance cost?

[pine loom]

I just tossed all of my progress because my game crashed

[prisma aspen]

the demo had "Mixed" review status cuz of gauntlet being launched without Freebie mode, now all the comments are gone

very cool

[dense mantle]

its not that bad because the visor is pretty close. . it might be a little bit bigger of a hole. idk id have to see

[crimson phoenix]

Yeah, I lag alot than before, It sucks that I lag.

[pine loom]

Does anyone have a save with the ultimate challenge?

[storm storm]

how is a game that is in "demo" able to have steam review

this guy is on something

[dense mantle]

turn blood off. play on the goreless mode. all the way on the left

the blood is crashing it

[pine loom]

I just lost mine because my game crashed

[storm storm]

well it can

but it isn't for this game

[dense mantle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/comments/1jp6n79/save_file_to_unlock_all_classes/

[jolly gorge]

I know I might be a bit late to the party but this Half Sword update is awful.

[dense mantle]

crashing shouldnt get rid of all progress unless you crash in the void

[mint wadi]

Okay. If your npc damage is all the way up and your game is crashing, turn it down a smidgen. Damage slider all the way to the max makes crashes on impact.

[storm storm]

skill... issue?

[jolly gorge]

It’s not fun anymore.

[storm storm]

what's the problem with the update

[dense mantle]

womp womp. i find it fun.

[mint wadi]

They're literally all unlocked besides Baron now even without doing the gauntlet.

[storm storm]

ok???

literally nothing got removed

[jolly gorge]

Weapons feel far too blunt now.

[dense mantle]

well he wants the baron, and he crashed and lost his progress allegedly.

[storm storm]

Pre-update blunt weapon was ass

[prisma aspen]

man, you're the worst type of person to ever talk with
here, it even got to Mostly Negative

[mint wadi]

Baron is literally boring as hell.

[dense mantle]

me when i cant slice through metal in half

[radiant oasis]

yo am i going insane or does running feel strange at the beginning now??

[storm storm]

idk man

[mint wadi]

Oh I remember why i came to chat

damnit I lost my copy paste video

nvm

I will do it again

[quick spire]

i dont really think the game is supposed to be running at 30 fps when nothing's happening

[prisma aspen]

try 2 frames when any fight with more than 1 enemy is going

goddam

[jolly gorge]

I really would’ve preferred if they kept the original play test damage models whilst incorporating the Abyss.

It would’ve been pretty great. As of the moment it just doesn’t feel right.

[storm storm]

that sounds unintended

[quick spire]

yeah

the game is pretty unstable but its just a demo so no surprise there, just hope this gets fixed when the game launches

[lunar goblet]

You always have one weapon left

[storm storm]

yeah that's definitely not intended considering you can't leave a review at the moment

[dense mantle]

what part of the play test damage? where you could slice through metal. or where swords were instantly going through maile and gambeson.

[prisma aspen]

a lot of hopium for that to happen, as this is the current playable state of a game that'll launch this year

[quick spire]

miracles can happen

[dense mantle]

bannerlord 2.0??????????????????????/s

[prisma aspen]

seems to be a backtracking of allowing reviews of the demo followed by the update being terrible

[shrewd mango]

hey guys, can anyone tell me why the commoner boss is so uneasonably hard?

[dense mantle]

because you dont know how to fight him

[quick spire]

i get that this is a physics game and everything but if standing still in literal darkness with no objects nearby gets me to 20-30 fps i dont think thats my pc's problem

[storm storm]

Oh! You could be right here, they could have just disabled reviews

[dense mantle]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[shrewd mango]

thats probably it, but like i have no idea how to fight it

[storm storm]

the sword guy?

[dense mantle]

refer to my guide

[mint wadi]

lmao at people shitting on the game, they disabled reviews on the demo because people don't know how to click free mode. Or are so bad at the game they can't unlock anything.

[dense mantle]

i have tips on every boss in my guide

[pine loom]

How do I get that save onto the steam demo? @dense mantle

[dense mantle]

for him i reccomend any stabbing weapon

[mint wadi]

Especially considering everything besides Baron is unlocked now without doing Gauntlet.

[prisma aspen]

the update released without freemode john

🦧

[shrewd mango]

OH I JUST SAW THAT, THANK YOU 😄

[mint wadi]

Dude I will reset my data right now to show you that you get free mode from the get go.

[dense mantle]

the update RELEASED without a functioning freemode john

[prisma aspen]

i will reinstall the game again just to show that it was still unplayable

[fiery nest]

someone know i can turn off when i have slow motion so that my stamina doesnt drop?

[dense mantle]

press f again

[storm storm]

Yeah freemode was ass since the first 3 levels are so hard for most players

[mint wadi]

Literally 1 day after release they added freemode up to rank 7, which is the one before baron, without doing any of the gauntlet.

[pine loom]

How do I get that redit save onto the steam demo @dense mantle

[storm storm]

press F again

[prisma aspen]

that's still a release without it, that's why you had A DAY worth of review bombs

[storm storm]

what happens if you beat the 11 points rank progress after unlocking baron?

[stark moss]

god why is the loot on the first boss awful

[dense mantle]

knife in the middle is OP

[quick spire]

its... the first boss?

duh?

[stark moss]

where my long stick holder thing at

[mint wadi]

First boss can be challenging, utilize your slow mo.

[jolly gorge]

hi

[pine loom]

I don’t see that

[prisma aspen]

you only need the knife in the middle, one stab

[stark moss]

if i get knocked down once its basically over

[storm storm]

first boss was so ass when there was only 1 knife

[stark moss]

applies to any fight honestly

[jolly gorge]

They added bosses and slow motion?

[prisma aspen]

everything else will take forever, the bosses seem to have lower damage slides

[tawdry kettle]

Press f

[dense mantle]

have you done win+r and %appdata%

[mint wadi]

If you knock down the enemy, it's basically over for them too

[storm storm]

honestly the update was good, but the difficulty was ass

[stark moss]

ok

[pine loom]

The fuck you mean?

[prisma aspen]

with the unfortunate part that the player is easier to knock down

[storm storm]

?????????

[stark moss]

boss missed his swing then fucking sliced me in half

[storm storm]

Press window + r

[dense mantle]

what?

[storm storm]

Like the keyboard

not the word

[prisma aspen]

they made the enemy willie heavier since they gave the A.I. the kick

[pine loom]

Wdym

[quick spire]

i feel so stupid i thought there was just the abyss mode and nothing else

[river steppe]

are there any vcs to stream half sword

[storm storm]

it will open this

[dense mantle]

windows key and R

[mint wadi]

Utilize your slow motion when fighting. I added in that I'm at near default settings. I did not utilize it the best in this fight, but it does help a lot.

[frail heron]

how tf did this happen. https://prnt.sc/r-NpHppi5-1V

[pine loom]

Ok I’m here,now what?

[dense mantle]

you copy and paste the file from before inthere

the file from that reddit post

[hidden coyote]

Whats the best faction?

[storm storm]

Arrow time is kinda more like a precaution type thing for me
Since you don't use stamina when you stand still, you can use arrow time infinitely and stuff

[dense mantle]

best faction is subjective. i always do the extra health (england edward III) or the extra stamina (holy roman empire) but faster kick can be super useful depending on playstyle(bohemia)

[storm storm]

probably more stamina

[frail heron]

why cant i post pictures?

[storm storm]

level 2 or above gets it

[stark moss]

i wish bodyshots werent useless in fist fights

[frail heron]

i got a good one for the boys. guess i gotta work to post it lol

[storm storm]

It isn't though, you just need to punch a lot

[dense mantle]

142 more xp and youre there

[stark moss]

yeah but headshots can just end the fight with 1

[storm storm]

yeah...

it's fist fight anyway

just punch a lot

[prisma aspen]

not usable at man at arms or +
willie has no stamina

[shrewd mango]

dude why the hell is it that i just randomly fall over? i would run to the side and just fall over so dramatically and sell the entire damn gmae

[mint wadi]

Which one is man at arms?

[frail heron]

using a external slow mo mod makes this game 1000x more fun

[dense mantle]

the one below knight john

[prisma aspen]

third from the top

[mint wadi]

This one?

[prisma aspen]

think so ye

when you start getting plated everywhere

[pine loom]

Ok so I have the link copied but idk how to paste it in

[prisma aspen]

can't get 1 full swing in slowmo

[storm storm]

you can get 2 actually

just preload a swing before slowmo

[dense mantle]

its not the link. tis the file. it take you to the drop box. and you download it fromt he drop box

[prisma aspen]

kinda misses the point, but ye you can get 1 standard swing like that

and none otherwise cuz willie weaks out

[storm storm]

2, actually

[dense mantle]

yeah but then youre black stamina and youre likely to fall over, which is game over

[prisma aspen]

also may be a bug, but your stamina is instantly drained if you overhead in slowmo

[dense mantle]

not true

[storm storm]

One swing and a counter swing

that's 2

[prisma aspen]

ah hell nah

[pine loom]

Ok so I’m here but how do I get the link to there from here

[storm storm]

just swap your dominant hand smh

[dense mantle]

or one swing a false edge, and another swing after that. if using sword

[mint wadi]

You definitely can, just requires precise pressing.

[storm storm]

you can both use the sharp edge if you swap hand

[prisma aspen]

well ye, by then there's no point

[dense mantle]

thats what a false edge is🙏🏻

[mint wadi]

You press at the start of the swing or mid swing. Slow motion doesn't slow you down as much as them.

It essentially makes you faster and more precise.

[storm storm]

if you swap ends, your sword will also mirror as if it's using the sharpened end

it's only a false edge if you don't swap during the counter swing

[dense mantle]

oh yeah my bad i misunderstood you

[lunar goblet]

he did not want to lose this match

[dense mantle]

its especially effective with blunts and polearms

[mint wadi]

Here. Full fight. On Man At Arms. Using slow motion more than I normally would. Dirty, imprecise, full of fuck-ups. But stamina and balance management works.

[pine loom]

I’m so confused

[storm storm]

Honestly that's the reason why I go for post-game torture just to make sure I win

[storm storm]

you are downloading a file. Replace the file of the same name with the current one

[dense mantle]

im confused as well. CLICK the link on the reddit post. then DOWNLOAD IT in that dropbox. THEN click WINDOWS KEY + RUN. THEN click local THEN find Halfsword UE5, THEN the saved, THEN the savedgames

and put it in there

[mint wadi]

It's INSANE with bladed weapons. Use slow mo right as the enemy winds up to swing and you can basically just slice their neck open instantly.

Not on higher levels ofc cause of the armor at the neck but lower ones, yes.

[lunar goblet]

Speaking of slowmo strikes

Boss oneshot potential easy

[dense mantle]

yeah thats what i was talking about. usign a polehammer with slow mo is so good

absolutley pissing on knights

[mint wadi]

fucking BONK

[pine loom]

I’m fucking here,with the link copied off of drop box but what the fuck do I do with it!

[dense mantle]

dont copy the link click the download button

and once you download it

click cut/copy on it. and then paste it in that folder you sent

[warm void]

reminds me of a gore image.

[storm storm]

You download the file from the drop box 😭

[dense mantle]

file should look like this after its downloaded

[stark moss]

fucking hate bucklers

[storm storm]

Replace the current file with that file

[dense mantle]

HOLY GEE WILIKERS YOU DOWNLOADED A LOT

you dont open up the .sav

hol up. lemme record what you do

[pine loom]

I’m trying to listen to what you are saying

[stark moss]

did they nerf gauntlet punching?

doesnt feel as meaty as the last builds

[reef flame]

just wondering if playtests is done or not? cant seem to play it anymore

[pine loom]

@dense mantle how about I just call you?

[stark moss]

it is

download the demo version

[storm storm]

It should be copied and then pasted in the save file you opened earlier

[reef flame]

ahh alright thanks

[storm storm]

How are you this clueless...

[reef flame]

me?

[pine loom]

Like that?

[storm storm]

Then delete your own save file

That should be it

[foggy coral]

FUCKING FATAL ERROR I WAS ON THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

[pine loom]

Nope

[storm storm]

Try restarting

I think

[pine loom]

I closed everything

[dense mantle]

dont mind my music. i forgot to pause it lmao (also peak song, andre 3k went off on it)

[whole parrot]

try to see if you unlocked anything in free mode

[storm storm]

Free mode unlock is automatic though

[whole parrot]

yeah but you dont unlock the baron tier

migrate to the demo

it got updated

[stark moss]

demo is getting updated now, playtest is over

[dense mantle]

oh also, make sure youre deleting your old progression .sav. @pine loom

[stark moss]

ok how is the militia boss beatable

[dense mantle]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message refer to my guide :)

[stark moss]

im using a spear btw

[dense mantle]

well thats your issue

[dense mantle]

i reccomend a sword

[storm storm]

rename the file...

you downloaded like 8 copies so the name is wrong

[pine loom]

Rename it what?

[storm storm]

remove the (8)

[dense mantle]

should just be SG Gauntlet Progress.sav

[dense mantle]

oh also dont be afraid to mess with the enemies damage taken, and your damage taken as well

[warped folio]

Guys how do I play half sword now

[dense mantle]

click download demo

[warped folio]

It’s not on steam

[warped folio]

Wait never mind I just needed to turn off parental

[rapid rivet]

can someone tell me how this happened

[dense mantle]

DONT SHOW WILLIES DELICATES

[raven solar]

butt neked

[pine loom]

I figured it out

[rapid rivet]

I WAS CURIOUS OK

[dense mantle]

probably a equipment.sav issue tho lmao

[rapid rivet]

idk, previous round i had gotten hurt, won the match, then died as i was holding G, got to the next match, and yeah

[cedar garden]

just found out you can snap the neck of your willie in the main menu and get sent to the abyss lol

[dense mantle]

yay finally. but please clean your monitor😭

also idk if that save has the baron beat

you might still have to beat him

[ionic root]

Just got a fatal error in the challenge again, i think it was from all the drops from a dead body spawning in the body as it despawned

[dense mantle]

disable blood

[ionic root]

like choose a different level at the start?

[storm storm]

What if I unlocked Ultimate challenge, but do the gauntlet instead of the baron

[dense mantle]

yes fully disable it to fully prevent crashes

[dense mantle]

repeat knight fights

no progression

[storm storm]

what's the boss

[dense mantle]

no boss after the boss you finish

[ionic root]

can i keep gore on or turn that off too?

[storm storm]

wdym, wouldn't there be one at 11/11

[dense mantle]

i wouldnt. especially not dismemberment. turnng off dismember just makes the game last longer before crashing. blood prevents it if i recalll

[dense mantle]

dont recall one

i think its just stuck at 11

[elfin cloak]

fatal error lovely

[dense mantle]

IM GONNA CRASH OUT

[storm storm]

aw

[ionic root]

easy, cheers mate

[dense mantle]

anytime. thats what fixed it for me atleast

if you notice. its always as soon as you kill someone

[elfin cloak]

aight

[stark moss]

first boss is so unfun jesus

[dense mantle]

refer to my guide. weapons on the floor. grab the knife and stab

hes the easiest boss

[stark moss]

just gotta rely on luck

most of the time i just get knocked down

[dense mantle]

nope. its purely skill. run around and juke him to grab the knife

[stark moss]

sometimes he lifts his weapon up and it just hits me anyways

[dense mantle]

youre not running away from him

[stark moss]

im dodging his things

[quick spire]

is it just me or are weapons actually terrible now

they barely pierce skin

[dense mantle]

both of them are easy honestly. refer to my guide

[quick spire]

i guess my swings just suck or something

[dense mantle]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

tell them to go to the reddit post

although WHO WANTS TO PICK UP THE FINEST STEEL WITHOUT ANY SKILL YOU FILTHY PEASANT -pierrot

[stark moss]

yeah whats a good baron if they dont know how to play as one

[dense mantle]

pollax is peak. pollax, the plancon(spiky stick) and the billhook

THE FLASHBACKS

mono audio mightve helped

especially for a game like this

[stark moss]

what do all the factions do

[dense mantle]

they say it

[stark moss]

i hovered over them and i didnt see anything

i just had to choose

[storm storm]

wish me lu ck

[dense mantle]

HRE(yellow) better stamina recovery. France(blue), speed boost on dodges, england(edward III red and blue) more health, bohemia (red)faster kick

[stark moss]

my dumbass NEEDS more health

[storm storm]

FUCKING KNIFE SLASHER

[pine loom]

My goodness this challenge is hard

[stark moss]

im always getting instakilled in the most RANDOM places

[storm storm]

[dense mantle]

WAIT FUCK ITS HENRY 4 BEFCAUSE OF THE THREE FLEURS MY BAD NOT EDWARD 3

[dense mantle]

[dense mantle]

[thin kraken]

Nooooo

[dense mantle]

spear with spikes

[dense mantle]

but demo is updated. fear not

[stark moss]

yea demo is updated now

[thin kraken]

Oh thank god

[strange garden]

I HATE IT

SO DAMN MUCH

SO FUCKING MUCH

THAT THE WILLIES ARE SO BLOOD THIRSTY

THE BOSSES DONT STOP EVEN WHEN YOU SURRENDER

[dense mantle]

this but you use it wrong. run around pull to left side of body, and do drive bys on people with the spikes on the side

[stark moss]

thats always how it was

[strange garden]

I CANT FUCKING PULL OFF ANOTHER ABYSS RUN

[dense mantle]

they do. you just likely dont start surrendering fast enough

[strange garden]

the normal willies stop and let you, NOT the bosses

[pine loom]

Got it

[stark moss]

also just instakilled the abyss farmer with a pitchfork to the leg

[strange garden]

im halfway through or 3 quarters and they keep going

[strange garden]

experienced that too, my leg gets poked and i die

and i rage

[dense mantle]

huh weird,. never did that to me. you do know you can backup saves right?

[strange garden]

how?

its the progression thing

[strange garden]

your a hero

[wind charm]

BRO WHY
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxOwvgluwYSaicwJ-bn2H_4zkAbm8VPhQ_?si=AYURTlr2601Owacf

[proven vortex]

how lock on strenght work?

[novel spear]

hey man

does enhance pointer precision helps in half sword

[stark moss]

why do gloves make my punches weaker

[dense mantle]

thats why i dont bother with baron abyss. i just crashout rage and restart

[strange garden]

holy

[wind charm]

I use EPP and would recommend giving it a try

[dense mantle]

in my experience. EPP REALLY helps with blunts and axes

[formal torrent]

can someone give me tips on how to hurt people who are fully armored

[dense mantle]

ground and pound

[formal torrent]

and how do i mutilate and hit people better?

[dense mantle]

and blunts

[astral grove]

why is my performance so bad xd

i have a 7900xt

[dense mantle]

blood

[quasi coral]

do you guys reckon there will be a rapier weapon or is that not historically accurate

[astral grove]

aw

[tight isle]

unreal engine is not an optomized engine

[lunar goblet]

bonk head

[formal torrent]

and are u able to be naked in the game or no?

[dense mantle]

via a glitch

[formal torrent]

because people told me u can

[dense mantle]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[astral grove]

no blood but still low fps

[light storm]

rate this shit gang

[strange garden]

10/10

[formal torrent]

for some reason i'm not able to move when in camera mode

[quasi coral]

do you guys reckon there will be a rapier weapon or is that not historically accurate

[formal torrent]

probably not

[dense mantle]

whats your CPU,a nd what graphics

[astral grove]

5800x epic 1440p

i turned off blood and its doing better tho

[lunar goblet]

Not terribly likely for this age

[quasi coral]

☹️

[formal torrent]

why can't i move in camera mode

[storm storm]

free cam

[dense mantle]

well your GPU is better than CPU. game is heavy on your CPU.

[quasi coral]

yeah rapiers are about 100 or 200 years too late

[astral grove]

aw mok

[lunar goblet]

it's not like we don't have plenty of thrusting heavy weapons.

[light storm]

you can thrust on a greatsword perfectly fine bro

[lunar goblet]

The stabber

[astral grove]

how do i thrust again

[lunar goblet]

hold alt

[astral grove]

oh

[lunar goblet]

Don't forget to twist

[fierce wedge]

mans wrist dislocated..

[lunar goblet]

Had to be done

[astral grove]

doesnt work

[light storm]

maybe him slashing had smth to do with that amazing 10/10 twist

[light storm]

use your mouse

move it up and down

[astral grove]

is it for certain weapons only?

[light storm]

all weapons

better on most, worse for others

[astral grove]

ok

but when i move it up and down it literally moves it up and down

[storm storm]

hold alt

[light storm]

hold alt when youre moving your mouse up and down bro

https://tenor.com/view/fpe-gif-12904436974720717983

[astral grove]

oh

myb chat

[light storm]

ts fine

[lunar goblet]

No. It's not fine. End this man

[light storm]

atleast his suffering ended

[lunar goblet]

true

[naive wedge]

man i lose to the stupidest part of april fool

sneak attack..

[storm storm]

that thousand yard stare...

[storm storm]

I fucking hate the abyss 1v2

[naive wedge]

they spawn out of nowawhere

[naive wedge]

and knock my head off

[frail heron]

lol

[storm storm]

Can't wait for a suplex move to be invented

[lunar goblet]

Rip knees

[light storm]

its not gonna end well for this guy

[naive wedge]

until they fix the physic,i dont think it will

i hate how i get knocked out for walking into a willy with a helmet

[light storm]

what an elegant outfit

nevermind i got destroyed

[quick spire]

i dont get why people find armored people so scary

the feet are still exposed its harder to aim, sure but still

[light storm]

hitting the feet and not guarding your upperbody is gonna get you in some deep shit bro

[quick spire]

i havent died once using that strat

[light storm]

just halfsword to get into the armor

[quick spire]

works flawlessly on that one dude who has only his head exposed

[light storm]

yeah just aim for his head

so simple

[quick spire]

its kinda hard to do with a long stick

[burnt patio]

really hope there would be a way to get up faster

or will be one added anyway

[light storm]

ion know bruh

[quick spire]

really hope that you could fight back like you could in the old demo

[astral grove]

i was charged at by a dude with a pickaxe

[quick spire]

when you're downed you cant really swing your weapons or grab anything you could do that in the old demo

that was such a life saver

[light storm]

yea

[burnt patio]

falls over welp guess I'll die now

[light storm]

most duels are just whoever falls first, loses

[burnt patio]

yeah

[light storm]

like its almost gg if you fall over

[quick spire]

it worked so good with spear enemies by the way

[burnt patio]

almost (99%) gg

[quick spire]

could just fall under them and grab their spear and your chances of survival would go up by like a solid 50%

[burnt patio]

1% is if you do this and decide not to go in

[livid anchor]

is there a scythe for a player?

[quick spire]

no sadly

[light storm]

i dont think so

[livid anchor]

sadge

[light storm]

just get the scythe from the boss

[quick spire]

i think its above and beyond broken thats why

[livid anchor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoeNwEjpTE4

[light storm]

YEA BRO IN THE OLD DEMO THE SCYTHE WAS SO OP

[quick spire]

i know right?

[light storm]

one swift strike and boom youre gone

[quick spire]

one swing and you basically obliterate anything in your way

yeah

literally would just need to sneeze on a person and they'd get split in half

[light storm]

bro i hate the axe bro

[livid anchor]

id love to use its curvy blade to cut enemies from behind

[light storm]

you get a papercut to the arm or leg from it and youre almost or completely dead

[quick spire]

woah woah this game is about half swording not backshots

[light storm]

and when the axe touches your leg might as well just say goodbye to it

[compact wyvern]

how do you resize your willie?

[light storm]

wym by that

[quick spire]

black magic

[compact wyvern]

as in our character, how do we make em big

[novel spear]

idk why but i like shanking people in tier 2 like im a criminal

[quick spire]

i dont think you can do that

uuuh

you can in the beggar class i think but i dont think it makes any difference

it replaces the randomize gear button

[livid anchor]

i wonder if there is a way to strike with constant accuracy

overhead strikes are hard to control especially in combat

[quick spire]

im so confused i cant tell if this "concussion" mechanic is new or not

[humble blade]

half sword esport when

[keen mountain]

scythe

can do

[livid anchor]

only in abyss

[light storm]

i cut off his arm off so fast he doesnt even surrender

[strange garden]

yo blue where do you find the save files?

[strange garden]

all im finding are content and binary

and screenshots

[quick spire]

this new abyss fog is so horrendous

thank god it can be disabled

[unborn acorn]

how do i stop myself from constantly crashing when playing the baron level?

[keen mountain]

well, yes, but you can also disarm the boss and use it against him i guess

playing abyss is fine anyway

[livid anchor]

not for my low end pc

it forces me to use low graphics setting

[keen mountain]

potato graphic

yeah

[quick spire]

abyss is terrible

my pc isnt low end one bit yet literally every graphics setting except for low gets me only 30 fps

what is this, 2010?

[light storm]

bro abyss is almost unplayable

[warm void]

willie doing a free style

[light storm]

why does everything load from afar

the render distance is so fucking high

[keen mountain]

abyss boxes can breakdance too

look

[quick spire]

wouldnt mind it if there wasnt literal darkness blocking the view

[light storm]

yea

[quick spire]

but playing the main game is terrible too

[light storm]

why

[quick spire]

it takes one, one blood particle to explode my fps

[keen mountain]

https://medal.tv/es/games/half-sword/clips/k0SsecRxAzzqsBUap?invite=cr-MSxvVnMsMzA2NDM1MTYw

[warm void]

4 gb ram ahh computer.

[quick spire]

im not gonna mention what two or more enemies do to it

[keen mountain]

box breakdance

[quick spire]

i have 32 gigs of ram 😭

[light storm]

real

not even 4 gb bro

4 kb

[wooden socket]

how do you uppercut in this game

[light storm]

FENCER! 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥🔥💯

[wooden socket]

nvm i figured it out

[light storm]

thats so fucking sick

[keen mountain]

thre are more ways

[light storm]

that goes so hard

[keen mountain]

to do it

[wooden socket]

go on

[drifting ridge]

Can I do the progression game mode again because I just completed it

[warm void]

I would be scared ngl.

[quick spire]

can i kiss my opponents to death

[warm void]

hoax

[quick spire]

im a boykisser

[quick spire]

nuh uh

[humble blade]

whats the best tactic for beating the commoner boss

[keen mountain]

i dont remember with 100% id have to boot my pc and i m not home, but,i think holding m1 and m2 and getting very very close then hitting upwards

[quick spire]

counter attack and dont bumrush him

[warm void]

run

[warm void]

run

[keen mountain]

Just rush from the side, avoid his blade with movement and dice him up in arrow time / slow motion

[drifting ridge]

bum rush him using long sword and try chop him in half

[humble blade]

ive managed to beat him once by mindlessly rushing him

[keen mountain]

false

[quick spire]

very cool

dotn do that ever again

[humble blade]

i didnt pay much thought into it

[warm void]

my weapon is stuck in Willie's anus.

help me.

[keen mountain]

you gotta rush from the side and move away from the blade while you dice him

[quick spire]

i mean

[keen mountain]

thats all there is

[quick spire]

stabbing him / thrusting into him works very well

[humble blade]

thanks

[astral grove]

gauntlets do increased unarmed damage right?

[warm void]

at this point, Willie became my weapon.

[keen mountain]

I was. I accepted my fate thinking it was going to knock my lights out, but it just wanted show me its breakdancing

[quick spire]

DUDE A LITERAL PIXEL OF MY ARM FOR A LITERAL SECOND GOT TOUCHED BY AN AXE AND I SOMEHOW GOT DECAPITATED

[keen mountain]

happens

parry that

[warm void]

Willie became a weapon :shock:

[quick spire]

my entire body was covered in armor i wasnt focused on parrying 😭

[keen mountain]

i love that weapon because its basically impossible to get it out

[quick spire]

his axe clipped through my armor i think

[warm void]

I love the small pickaxe.

[quick spire]

wow i love it when my head detaches itself from my shoulders when a blade touches me

[light storm]

rate this shit gang

[warm void]

IM DASHING INTO BATTLE WITH WILLIE AS MY WEAPON!

[keen mountain]

thats how you play axe

you get close and half sword it

the game's physics do the rest

[quick spire]

no he wasnt even half swording it

[keen mountain]

can still happen

[quick spire]

he didnt even hit me in a crack / weak spot

i just straight up lost my head

[keen mountain]

i jnow

thtas the thijg

[quick spire]

shit was so crazy my head flew into LITERAL orbit

bro

there goes all of my progress 😭

[keen mountain]

it can go through armor quite easily, or rather bug through it

you gotta fear the axe when you find one

dont get close

[quick spire]

im going to headbutt you

[warm void]

My weapon is so stuck he cant phase through the floor.

wtf

[quick spire]

i have an issue with this version of the game

most of the weapons from the old demo barely penetrate if it all

it was so funny watching them get stuck and trying to get them out for the next 2 minutes

[warm void]

Willie looks so happy being pantsleess in the abyss.

[light storm]

"The wind can take down even the strongest of trees."

[warm void]

btw, the dead willies body is dragging down so I literally am forcing that willie to stay alive and not go to hell.

[light storm]

aww

so nice

[alpine heath]

guys whats the best weapon for knight in gauntlet

[lime flax]

kicked him very hard

[light storm]

longsword

[pallid oar]

That one long sword that's like not too thick but not too thin with that straight handle (idk the name but I think it was called longsword or smh)

[high crane]

Haaaass anyone else been crashing on the final mission

[lime flax]

turn blood off!

[light storm]

nah

[pallid oar]

yes

[high crane]

Lemme try that, appreciate you!

[lime flax]

everyone if you crash in final challenge turn blood off! never happend to me but thats what the devs say you should do!

[light storm]

may your efforts never be in vain nice sir

[pallid oar]

i will have zero idea when I'm hurt or not but i'll do that next time (lowkey died as the king and I've never been so pissed off in my life)

[lime flax]

actually it was someone in the modteam who i heard it from*

[spare storm]

Does anyone struggle fighting the champions with wood or is it just me🤣

[warm void]

I tried to save him, the pickaxe literally flung me 😭

[lime flax]

there will still be other indications for damage just not blood

[light storm]

AHHAHAHA

[warm void]

THE PICKAXE BROKE MY ARM

its going in the wrong way.

[pallid oar]

i mean true

[light storm]

grunts, groans, bruises, and blood indicate damage

also that punching sound that somehow sounds like youre punching a wooden shield

[warm void]

4 arms?

[light storm]

lmao wwhat

[wooden socket]

am i the only one who likes putting the willies in boxes

[light storm]

knocked some sense into this guy

[light storm]

YO HOW TF

[wooden socket]

you just kinda gotta shove them into the boxes whhen theyre begging for mercy

[light storm]

oh alr

[wooden socket]

you might have to knock them down first

ill see next time i do it

[light storm]

kicked this guy in the fucking jaw

[glass trench]

any way if your able to play as baron in free mode?

[restive garnet]

"wait wait, I can explain"

[distant whale]

Yo

[echo echo]

[tough yew]

the way that that armet shaped makes this guy looks like he's so fuckin pissed off

its so good

[restive garnet]

Frr

[light storm]

no you gotta beat it in gauntlet

[distant whale]

Abyss is just flat out scary

[light storm]

THE MAN HIMSELF

HOLY SHIT

[restive garnet]

I have spoken

[distant whale]

Every time when I die and appear in it it's just like "holy shit" Moment

[light storm]

i like the blood mod you and zippy did on gmod

so sick

[distant whale]

"You are going to Brazil", but even scarier actually, cause my pc straight out dies out of cringe cause of the fog

[restive garnet]

Heck yeah! Appreciate it. Glad you like it

[light storm]

[wooden socket]

[restive garnet]

Abyss is haunted

[restive garnet]

[tough yew]
