willie nostril
pretty sure i got to the very end and died on like, the final dude
Just accomplishment lol
does it juts fade to black
i say the candle holder is the most fun way to beat your willie
just*
i agree
i love having a big candle holder and using the the top of it (where you place the candle) and using it kinda as a spear
its good for enemies that have short ranged weapons
whoever was asking if anyone beat the gauntlet with one life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFzNsv7Jvs0
I love to play Half Sword, even back in the day when they were split into Half Sword Demo and Half Sword Playtest I tried to complete it with many halves sword gaming challenges but they decided to merge these games together with the new half sword update called the half sword update called the fools update. They added new bosses into the half s...
the candle holder is like those chinese human catchers that the police use
Willie has no concept of sidestepping out of it
i think i almost did that the last run
how its meant to be played
before just tripping and cracking my head on the fucking wall at the ultimate challange
is thay nvidia game filters
wheres the mulitiplayer lol
reshade
full game
i think
lets go
my friend told me
i dont want to imagine how painful it will be to sync each physics entity
i dont think there will be multiplayer
its impossible to do that without insaneee lag during pvp since we havent invented instant information transmission yet
wanna try this on someone
there probably will but itll be tweaked
I'm pretty sure the devs said "probably not, but if it's at all feasable then possibility of maybe"
There aren't plans for a multiplayer.
oh
yeah
my friend told me there was gonna be multiplayer
if there was multiplayer it would be terrible
i guess hes a liar
light his pants on fire
Maybe misinformed.
multiplayer would be so fun tho
Fucking hell he’s playing For Honor on these poor Willies
syncing each physics object? no thanks
Hellish Quart has some jank multiplayer tho
that would just be teleporting across the map nonstop
Tracking, and so is the dev team according to #faq
assuming it works
untill someone throws a knife in the air and then spin kicks it and sends it flying into your face
This game having multiplayer would be worse than Chivalry
and then does willie dance
true
Oh god don’t remind me of Chiv 2’s awful fucking community.
someone remove the quality of this recording and bass boost it
why does the camera mode open up without me hitting c
chivalry was so fun at the start of the game just the servers are constantly being ddosed and such
the community is so toxic and theres wayyy too many people who just kill everyone in duel servers
Willie fell in da box
i sometimes forget that those two are separate games
guys how should i kill commoner boss he always cuts me in half 😭
I heard it had the same problem that if you weren't there on the ground floor there's no real way to get good, you just get deadangled without knowing what happened
I miss the old Mordhau. They ruined the game honestly. The first builds were easily the best.
shovel, block the first swing, kick him down and beat him to death
thats basically what happened to me
i bought the game played it once didnt understand a single thing then just let it rot
thrust instead of cutting or counter attack
wait what weapons are on commoner
It's crazy that they originally wanted to be a historically accurate sword fighting game that wasn't chivalry.
preferably both
greatsword
i tried to thrust last time and he cutted me in half xD
i usually just use the longsword and strafe around him then stab him
Oh wait, commoner
Falchion, mace, dagger, longsword, hand axe, arming sword.
I thought you said beggar
no beggar is easy
something that worked for me in commoner
oh my fucking god no way im struggling so much on the peasant level
im not even at the boss
is just mindlessly swing at the boss and eventually youll get him
I usually try to strafe him and gut him
use fork or small axe
it works for me
no thats not the issue
yeah stabbing him in the abdominal area or slashing at his arms is the best way to beat him
the issue is that i have max player damage and a single, single touch of a hoe is enough to make me bleed out as if an artery is punctured
The goal of this guide is to pass down what knowledge I have gained thus far in Half Sword so we can enjoy the game at all levels of play. If you're looking to speed through The Gauntlet, then I hope this guide helps you in your journey.

...
then lower it down or smth
i dont need a guide
bro why every time i close halfsword and enter im immediately back to peasant level my shit gets reset every time 😭
the game's autosave system is shit
and also even tho i beat ultimate challenge i cant play as baron in free mode
I can send you my save if you'd like.
ty amigo
I'll take it if they won't
I'd like to play around with that
without having earned it
HOW AM I STILL ALIVE
Okay this is the first time I've pretty much stabbed willie in the eye properly
I'd suggest playing the Gauntlet mode for it personally, but if you really want it, then I can give it to you.
this abyss mode is so anoying
Now that I have acquired skill, I will now grasp the finest steel. With my hands.
Or what's left of them.
I'll wait until I at least learn not to flail when I miss my first thrust
Luck and armor carried me that last run lol
Take a look at that guide I sent. It goes over weapons and some tips on how to use them in Gauntlet.
let's make a speedrun category :D
Stab willie's willie
Will do 👍
i dont think willie has a willie
how so?
Cuz he already lost his willie!
I wonder
i wonder if willie has a willie to live
when the personalized weapons aka the weapon slider changing systems is gonn com out
hopefully with or before the early access release (4th quarter of 2025)
that shit would go hard
ye
FUCK YES\
Chat.
thick stick
How do I get the last tier of armour?
just whack the shit out of Willie with a literal tree
BEAT YOUR WILLIE!!
Everyday
For real though,
How does one get it?
Willie is in the edges. Yes, plural - edges. There is a little piece of him on every side of the map.
i wish i havent come back to this chat
why is the game so... over-saturated
reminds me of new vegas graphics mods
first time i cut this guy in half with a knife
amazing, you've just made some random brit in london very proud
I am that random brit
Very stabby like
Youd be surprised how easy it is to speedrun the first two ranks
all you need is a knife
and you just go stabby stabby and they die :)
How do I get the gold armour?
Notched fork for peasant tier and run at them. It's as easy as it gets.
Third tier is the most dangerous.
dont really like the fork after i have figured out how fast i can do the rounds with a knife
third tier is the most dangerous one ngl
Just
ironically its mostly smooth sailing for me at the third tier as long as im not being too reckless
i feel like as soon as i get armor the danger goes away
actually now that i think about it the main reason why the unarmored tiers are so hard is because i have max player damage, whoops
I like knocked his sword away then slashed him right in the face
i always just go for the stab or thrust on the third tier's boss
Hardest has to be Baron challenge fr
as long as yo uget the first hit in, you good..
😔
i have ptsd from that
i tripped, hit my head on the wall and fucking broke my neck and lost my entire run at the baron challange
i havent died once before that
I finished the entire thing with a billhook
Took me like
Atleast
4-5 hrs
With a save file too
i see
i wish i could actually know if im bad or good
like i dont think playing with max player damage makes me exactly good
what if i just get lucky all the time and the ai isnt as aggressive as it should be
🔥
That don’t matter
Just be able to parry
And be able to like
One shot
i dont really bother parrying unless i slow down time
Neck hits, stabs, etc
i just wait for a counter attack like a souls player
And stop using slowed time
Parry it fr
dude
hell nah
try that with max player damage
I have before
i am not risking a run
in my defense i can sometimes parry and i can still counter attack flawlessly
I usually play both around half
if it works it works
Good feeling no?
Practice in free mode fr
parries never actually get me any kills
And learn polearms
its the counter attacks that do
i am a souls player at heart
doesnt count unless u dont press F fists only no armor blindfolded with dk bongos
Yeah it’s a parry
how can I cheese the baron tier?
By knocking that sword away
a riposte never gets me a kill
Getting a good position
This clip shows the absolute process of that
oooh why the fuck is the game so over-saturated
my fucking eyes
question, is it good to wind up a hit by hitting the floor then raising the weapon and hitting the head?
yes, it disorients the opponent to lower his guard and give an opening
Fools guard?
tricking the ai feels illegal
so is there a new mod meny for half sword?
very cool how the ai follows your weapon patterns though
I fw fools guard
would it be like this? #game-footage-🎮🎥 message
if you get hurt even a bit, pause and go to menu.
thanks for the tip
can be useful so i can think a bit on what i can do
save scumming
I would enable the baron tier myself from the game files if I knew where they were
woah what the fuck
bro lost his war hammer and now is contemplating his life choices mid battle
coming back to your stomping grounds to flex your riches is indeed, crazy
the game crashed in the middle of my baron run 😀
10 mins have passed and bro is still trying to grab his warhammer
why does the candlestick so ouchies
its the best weapon in the game
Massive, heavy iron stick.
BROOOO
It is easy to die. It takes courage to live.
For it's tier, yes. For the entire rest of the game? No.
Found my fav clip oml
who would've known a massive metal stick to the head hurts
GUYS CHECK #photography📷
why do i swing it like a spastic with no muscles but the peasant i'm up against swings it like a feather
currently stabbing the bosses butt with my longsword because he aint giving up on that warhammer
massive blunt damage. you can knock out knights easily
useful at the highest tiers
does anybody use lossless scaling in this game
its biggest upside is its range and its grappling potential
and also blocking potential kinda doubles as a shield
that too
Yeah, but there are other things that just out range you or does it better like the polehammer.
always satisfying to disarm the beggar boss in one quick movement with the candle stick
early game i just grab the candlestick and run at them with m2 held to stab them
it almost feels like cheese
I cranked the damage all the way up and punched a mf so hard the game crashed LOL
I think they changed swordplay this update. The kicks feel a lot harder to hit too (spinkicking atleast)
16 seconds · Clipped by m00 · Original video "HalfSword Just Patched Their BIGGEST Update..." by m00
that happens often
its really annoying for me
yeah, also feels like small flicks are much more powerful than actual swings
's funny tho
the ai seems to suck at using any sort of two handed bludgeons especially polehammers
This but a scratch
Yeah that shit's so annoying I got cut in half because a peasant grazed a butchers knife against my pelvis
*except for candlesticks
True
people dont play with max enemy damage?
whenver i see an ai with one of those i flip a coin
you kinda just have to be precise with polehammers
must be weird seeing an npc tank an axe to the torso
they either trip over their own feet and kill themselves or give me a light sleepy tap
it's funny and allows for longer fights, but at the same time I get frustrated when I land a crippling blow and they shrug it off so it's a double-edged sword (ha)
that happens plenty with max enemy damage too
do we have the lock on
Another day.. another victory against this bastard
what ae yow playing
I don't think he's dead yet
ar
the lag must be insane
i cant imagine all of the blood particles
not lagging at all
a nasa pc is crazy
not even a nasa pc
i also do that shit
just sliced the npc's leg
shrugged it off, tries to stand up
at least they pose no threat mostly
but whenever someone tanks a greatsword to the face and then proceeds to run towards me i do kinda admit i shit my pants a little
anyone got a consistent strat for 3rd boss. I can fight the rest just fine. 3rd boss is evil
thrust or counter attack
thats really the most i can give you
i feel like nothing that anyone says would work flawlessly just kinda getting into the rhythm is usually what works
thrust
i always just go for a stab or thrust on that one
every time i win it's like luck
thrust or counter attack thats just the best that you can do
couuuld parry but its too risky and you'd probably fall over
Im starting to love this weapon
blunt pole hammer either you hit the head and they fall, or you hit any other body part and it bounces off their armor like it was nerf weapon
pretty much
cant you break the enemies ribcage even with armor on when using the pole hammer
one of my greatest pictures

4:51 Beggar Boss Fight
...
Specific tier is set as play from in the link.
I'm a polearm user and I don't usually use longswords, so he's also a difficult fight for me as well.
my baron tier is gone for some reason, even though i unlocked it
thats too bad you WILL play the roguelite mode again
Check free mode, if not, then restart the game. If that doesn't work, then I can send you a save file.
does anyone have the playtest files? i want the better combat physics back
i did make a backup save i was just wondering why it wasnt there in free mode
these combat physics are better
you just decapitate/get decapitated way too easy
before it was very hard now even the one hand peasant axe can graize and split in half
this fight has gone on for so long its looking like some shit outta invincible with how bruised and bloody we are
why does it crash so often
is there a trainer for 0.5 yet?
i broke his arm with a nasty kick and that ended the fight
some grete champion
Second easiest boss.
use spear
the pitchfork one
there is no spear in 3rd tier
theres a pitchfork you get in 2nd tier
Yeah but you cant use that in 3rd tier in gauntlet
He's playing Gauntlet.
you can play a tier lower than your current one
you get extra points for that
Dude, how did I not realize?
ultimate speedrun strat
No way I didn't know that after spending like 12+ hours making a guide.
Cadwell pope you are a genius
yeah, i used the pitchfork from 2nd tier and i beat the boss in 15 seconds, its just how many times you can stab him rather than 1 blow since you cant really raise your stab height without sacrificing accuracy
I feel dumb now
1st time in my life i feel smart
🌞
wrong emoji shit
😎
😂
i did 1 tier lower than my current untill i reached knight
helped me complete the game quicker untill i ran into a fucking dull as shit axe and died
istg the willies luck buff is through the roof
mf had that rusty 2 handed axe, i ran into him and i fucking died without him doing anything
peak halfsword gameplay
ppl say its no skill but its the main weapon in all medieval battles
Freak boss.
that was during a spoilance match where i headbutted him right against the fence and it looked freaky as hell
There isnt a lot of chance for skill when the dudes weapon is like twice as long as anything else in that tier with no draw back from people getting closer. I cant believe i didnt know about this 
a few seconds into the fight and ive already broken a rib and his elbow
Is there some way to avoid losing ALL progress in the new demo if you die?
I really REALLY hate the fists and spoilance modes.
savescumming
"Please."
The new Poleaxe handling is so fucking good, It's so dynamic and clean like bro 
IKR! I love it.
The saves are what?!!
JKJK but how does one save scum
I dont see a save button
Game files in app Data. Copy your save.
the save game is in the game files, iirc its in local then halfswordue5 and in one of the folders theres the save game stuff and you just copy that and paste it somewhere else for later use
oh dear
I am going insane with the baron tier.
Crash issue or skill issue?
DW, I struggled a bit too.
Just reset if you have bad RNG.
and if I get good rng I get overwhelmed by 3 willies

How to defeat the second to last boss?
is the the indomitable human spirit
I just punched a mans arms into paste and he didnt give up
I fucking punched him in the head 5 times
then my game crashed
ahah
Reasonable crash out.
skill issue, i beat 3 dudes that had longswords with a shitty ass mace
but reasonable
I might make an ultimate Challenge guide next, lol. It seems more bearable with two-handed weapons to try and master.
Good morning. 🙂
now that the new update is here beating my willie is actually a ton of fun
why the red face?
beating the baron with a pole hammer and on max damage took me a while so i cant imagine how long it will take to beat the baron on stock
looks like when an alcoholic dad knocked out his wife and the child has a weapon to defend himself
average alcoholic father - sober son experience
Dude, I literally had access to only 1 handed weapons. I don't know if my shit was bugged or what, but it was absolutely bullshit challenging fighting a horse of knights with a mace and shield, then having to hold Baron in a corner to get him to surrender.
same shit happend to me, but after 20 minutes of flicking my mouce left and right i killed all 3 of the knights and THANKFULLY 1 dude had a pole hammer
if i didint have the pole hammer i would be screwed and be playing 1 hour just to beat the dude
heavenly dap up
I made 6 separate attempts and saw not a single two-handed weapon.
As in lives where the game either crashed or I died.
Does anyone know how to play this on Steam deck
I FINALLY BEAT THAT GOLDEN MOTHER FUCKER
Because there isn't a button that replaces G
hai guys
what even is baron mode?
Big golden guy
u play as him or fight him?
So first you need to beat him on the final tear of gauntlet, then you play as him in free play.
oh thats dope
will it be online?
and even then the autosave is shit so when you close halfsword and open it again you cant play him again you have to play gauntlent all over again
?
Oh hell nah, that's why I backup my saves
No
shit
OVRDTH is the only way to go
Drip abounds
First boss is crazy
I want that but idk how to install OVRDTH
why're the Fatal Error crashes so common now? Never used to happen 
Ez pz just go to nexus, download the latest OVRDTH version, and run the .exe.
i dont do that and bear the pain
Imagine right.. if you could get up when knocked down.
IKR
headbutts work soo good rn
just finished a longass fight with this big guy over there
he ate my strongest punches and nastiest spin kicks for breakfast
Bro shouldn’t still be conscious and the fact that he is tells me you’re not ready for this kind of experience. RIP AND TEAR SLAUGHTER AND OBLITERATE
i let him live out of sheer respect
i was hitting him with hella strong punches that wouldve made anyone else go to sleep
is therre a way to prevent crashing
im back
Try turning off gore, turning down your graphics.
ill try that
Remember that armet isnt the perfect protection
but imagine if it was volumetric ground fog and would swirl up around feet and legs
these types of punches repeatedly
monologue
Would be very cool, sure we’ll get it someday.
why even bring the armor?
How do you customise your character like this?
turned this man into vegeta
Then how did they do it
what is the abyss if somebody could answer
like what do i do in it
do i ever get out
guys try headbutts, soo satisfying
is it js a little arena thing where you fight people and leave when u feel?
im really confused
bring baron armor. no neck exsposure. only groin, armpit and back of the leg

omfg soo juict
finish gauntlet mode and flex on peasants
how, even tweaking the settings dont work
use the best weapons and make yourself invincible in settings
silces bypass damage
thats why you take the best weapons. usually long ranged weapons like great or long swords and spiked spears$
how
its still random
spiked spear can get through the thickest armors
didnt have a single one of these in 3 attempts
help please somebody tell me what the abyss is
I hate getting instantly killed through the shoulder on ultimate mode
demo during playtest, basically
I'll try send you the reddit for it
ty
ntuh
hey you can just quit to menu everytime you feel like you're gonna die
bruh
so theres no time wasted
i just won baron and went to check out the abyss, when i came back i was back at peasant??
it removes only 1 point or 2 if on carnage/buhurt/spoilage
is there like an explanation somewhere as to what the abyuss is????????????
#photography📷 my best
The instance I’m talking about was instant
it happens to me rarely. just take your distance its easy to catch
wait for them to attack first and strike in exposed parts. preferabily the leg or head to disable them and make them surrender once on the ground
JUST HAD A GLITCH THAT DIDNT GIVE ME A WEAPON SO I BEAT THE SECOND BOSS UNARMED
It was my third attempt of ultimate. My attack didn’t land properly and I got stabbed in the shoulder before being able to react
heaven
but more like hell
Man they gotta add footstepsinto the void
just try to take your distance and if they have a long ranged non slicing weapon you can hit their head with your weapon and make them fall once distabilised and then do this technique: #photography📷 message
you can just hold your weapon to their necks and they will give up
i pommeled strike someone with a goofy aah grip and knocked him down somehow
the 3rd boss just fell down knocked out and his sword sliced me in half
That is exactly what I did but they got a lucky stab and instantly sent me to the abyss
i prefer slashing his arms to make his weapon useless
it happens. took me many tries
like 2 or 3
tbh if you die it means you did something wrong in your approach. predict what they could do before striking for a final hit
is it just me or is spin kicking a lot harder in the abyss than in the arena
how does spin kicking even work
well well well, the tables have turned
Imo its harder for me to do this update for some reason but you look up then hold space and then kick before spinning really fast
thats what happens when you try to play an unfair fight
lol
I'm loving the new demo with the ranking system. it's so hard to beat the guys with forks though... The weapon is too much damn powerful. A simple stab in the leg and you're done
You can right click and move their weapon away while kicking them and grapling them to make them fall
what i du is i run to the side and aim my weapon to the other side im running and they completely miss, run into my weapon and easy shot to the face
welcome back to guess whats in the box
A large axe and some trousers
trousers is technically correct
Thanks ! I've tried a lot of stuuf but they kinda follow your movements better than before. So the little miss step is enough to get you kill, it's kind of annoying when you know that the AI is not that good lol
actually
imagine if devs put a box like that
you open it and a mf comes to hit ur ass
same pic but scary!!
Always happy to help 
And, I've jsut beat the peasant champion ! when I saw his weapon I gulped right away LMAO
willie.exe
Wait a sec, we have slow mo now ? I pressed F during a fight and time slowed down.
yeah
I think it's meant to be adrenaline
now the dude in the back needs to be smiling and it's perfect
Hum, that makes sens ! It's also easier to have a good slow mo shot for youtube shorts I guess lol
you lose stamina after using it
just why
OMG that's unfortunate LMAO
Are there no blunt weapons in peasant rank anymore?
"Why did you make me do this?! You're running, so you can die a painful death! Think, Willie! If you just stayed in that box, you would've disappeared PAINLESSLY! You'll live to see everything around you crumble to dust and blow away! Everyone and everything you know, will be gone! What will you have after 500 restarts?!"
"You, Willie, I'll still have you"
ERM why is the void grey now?
you can turn the fog off in settings if you don't like it
best build for spoilence
cand holder is so op
i one shot first boss with it easily
you wouldnt believe me if i told u #game-footage-🎮🎥
The challenge is to use my fist for all fights and 1 exception is im allowed armour in the higher tiers so i throw my weapon at them at the start
I was tryna give my boy a hairline but uhmm.....
NAH, YOU HAVENT MET THE IRON PEASANT!
circumcision.
Bro where do I click to update the game to the newest version?????
can't find it
😭
Should I download demo or waht?
demo?
playest end
yeah u can't update it, just download the demo
Bro trying to leave the arena...
must've hit him in the head one too many times
I wish I can run those graphics.
Download Half Sword Demo green button on the main page
The playtest has merged with the demo
this one?
I wonder if the real swords used during the medieval times were as sharp as in the game? Like a small graze and the enemy bot be having huge slash, losing tons of blood.
There’s only one download
maybe
i do know that some parts of the body bleed more than others so maybe it's accurate to an extent?
I dunno anything about swords other than that they are sharp
why tf is all bosses's weapons are long range
to make them harder
thats why they are hard.
Yea maybe. Aside from the fact it's so easy to cut off the head, front part of the face and other parts like legs, arms and abdomen like literally cutting the bot in half in the game, the bleeding part is the most realistic one I guess
if a boss had a knife they'd be easy as hell
The game is hard and unfortunately some are destined to fall short in this lifetime. Welcome to real gamer filthy monstrosity academy you fake ass gamers
guys i beat the game 3 times should i try and beat thee game but my player slider is to the max and the npc to the lowest
Anyone else having problems with the final challenge crashing halfway through?
yeah that's a pretty common problem right now
Damn
The default blood and gore settings aren’t realistic, I say about 1/4th to 1/5th on the blood scale is realistic. And you absolutely can lop off hands and feet with a truly sharp historical blade, just not cut a man fully in two from head to toe 💀
Hi Sabbath, I swear I saw you in other discord servers just can't remember it. Maybe you were in the Mordhau official server? Cinus discord server? Or even Stalker Anomaly modpack servers like EFP, Gamma or Custom? xd
The new gore can be glitchy, but wow it leaves some incredible results too
Name a few more
Hmm yea with enough force you can cut off the hands and feet regardless of the sharpness of the sword but yea good point
Yeah absolutely, also howdy Crabby! Long time no see.
Oh wait nvm must have been another person with the same name as you
Probably
Thanks for warm greeting pal, I'm glad to see you too
The*
can you actually get the two handed mace in commoner rank? the one you hold over the shoulder
How do i thrust? I cant seem to do what my opponents do
And how do they swing at me when im at the ground? How can i do that
average buzzcut in medieval ages
double left click or hold left click and press alt
i do double click because sometimes i click alt and it doesnt thrust
you have to move the mouse up to thrust when holding alt
For the begger boss do you have to rely on RNG to get the candle stick? I don't think I've ever seen in, in my many gauntlet runs
How to swing downward?
The first boss always does it with his axe
couldnt bare the fact that he wont be able to block his ankles
charging up my right arm
probably some mosquito with ebola.
frrr
I wonder if there will be a replay system
ue4 had some sort of demorec system that games had
dunno if ue5 has that
https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/using-the-replay-system-in-unreal-engine
it might be possible in ue5 as there's documentation of it
its most likely not on their current "priority list" or maybe it is we dunno whats goin on behind the scenes
idk what parry this is called but doing it against a battleaxe is peak
"I'm still human afterall"
how do some people move so quickly? ive seen clips of people doing beggar carnage fights where they are moving extremly quick
you hold shift at all times
even when standing still: it lowers your stance
pitchforks and polearms
your fists lmao
when im sprinting i dont move nearly as fast as them
dont you just love how the only way to possibly die in abyss is when someone spawns behind you, then while you're fighting them someone else spawns behind you again? or you check one direction while looting, and then 10 seconds later a dude spawns there
maybe you are burdened by armors and injuries
i dunno, im not a willy doctor
hi
its just a long stick that you can poke with
your legs via spin kick
spinjitsu
if you land it right you can 1shot an enemy or break a limb
no correct answer
also
i have a question
do yall click on the "abyss" button, or do you just break willie's neck
the enemy's dagger on their belt
the random ass axe that is on the ground ready to cut off your feet :
why have 4 weapons when you can have 4 bucklers around your waist?
I break Willie's neck.
Crunch.
for fashion
thats literally me
@ornate junco
manually killing willie is more fun
perfection.
Guys someone help, why can't I play the playtest?
download the demo
playtest merged with demo
because its the demo now
becuase the funny jester thinks you dont have any skill or misunderstand the meaning of death
and all i can say about that is something like "goo goo ga ga, forgive me, mama."
oh and also
why is first person so good?
like it's probabably the best 1st person i've ever seen lol
its almost like vr lmao
Just sliced somebody in half, feeling pretty good
(sorry i got back into the game after a long ass time)
fps mode is immersive and gud
he is still alive
I once got sliced in half and lived, beat the 1st boss that way in the abyss
they'll play this clip at my funeral
large candlestick can be used as a spear and polearm tho
this is the clip
I once got all of my limbs cut, my body halfed, and I sitll lived.
does anyone else feel like arrow time is a bit cheaty
it tires you out way too quick, I dont use it
nope, it makes you a tad bit better with parrying.
i never use it outside of kicking commoners
love doing those double taps
only takes one good hit to end the fight and when time is slowed to a crawl getting a good hit is relitevly easy
left right goodnight.
dudes
also arrow time is pretty good if you want to surrender so you dont loose your caracer
my game keeps crashing at weird times
character
do these weird times include the ultimate challenge?
that was a sexy and accurate thrust to the helmet ngl
does anyones game crash?
me'
is there no crash logs????
is there anyway to play half sword without steam?? idk why my steam cant download any games 😢
At what point
Only the itch.io version but it’s very outdated
level changes
Any specific tier?
can you help me fix my steam idk why my download speed always drops to 0 ( i tried many ways)
what im a supposed to to when im sent to the foggy abbys T-T
not sure
Fight until the boss that killed you to recover your progress
all i guess
was bone breaking added
yeahh good questipn
pitchforks are gonna make me have a mental breakdown
Make a #1047240101152960525 post
Yes
oi thats a we bit fucked up now innit
i see a winner and a loser
me when commoner boss
thought so cause i wacked a dude in the arm with that mace like weapon and heard a crack
wrong, sword was stuck in his chest, and he lowkey did not give a fuck
i was trying to spin kick willie, and ended up spinning so hard my legs died
now i see two losers
womp womp
so uhm
i stabbed a willie in the head with the sharp end of a long candle stick and heard multiple loud cracks then his body desinegrated
Haha, he got stabbed!
i REFUSE to believe there are some people that can't beat this silly willie
yeah i was beating him pre nerf bare handed just fine lol
he got a nerf?
Yep
when ?
half sword is "mordhau meets QWOP"
half sword is only 50% of a sword.
there werent any weapons before other than a knife thats like right in front of him, so you didnt really get a chance to grab it, also he made you go unconcious much easier by hitting you with all attacks
they nerfed the first boss, but will they nerf baron and make the weapons the willies spawn with set instead of random?
examina ost takes itself too seriously for what the game is about (ragdolls)
I hate the stupid spiky stick weapon in the ultimate challenge
I hate that I dont have it
its stupid until its yours :D
plancon oscillates between hate and love depending on who is wielding it
guess what he looks like now :3
that’s very true
but I prefer a billhook
I like spinning
nah fr tho best baron weapon is the ax, knocked the baron down in a SINGLE hit
split in half
my favorite weapon in the game is the axe thing your character only ever uses the pointed bit of
worse
why can't I just use the big ass blade on it instead of the little pointy bit
real
quartered, rather literally
obliteration
this what he looks like now
bro
dawg this is the like the 7th abyss game ruined because i have to fight 2 enemies and then it spawns 1 exactly 1m behind me
whats the final boss in the abyss
that you?
when i died in final challenge it gave me 1 of each class
I can tell he did not get on your good side
i tried to cut him more, but i cut him the most i can
literally wont get split anymore
i just rq every time i go abyss im not tryna go to that lag pit just for an extra life
this is what his axe looks like after i did it
bro on medium my computer starts dying when i go to the abyss and i have a 3060
alright kratos it’s time to raise atreus
boy.
the gauntlet mode has given me a great love for polearms
Awww shit
don’t laugh please!!!
You cant really flex image perms here, heh.
yes... YES... I CAN FINALLY SPAWN IN WITH AN AXE
then en enemy will ightly tap your arm and its gone
Willie might have hurt his face, not sure
did he get headbutt?
yeah
also, in abyss mode you get a heal each time you beat an enemy right?
somewhat
I wonder why its not in baron
why does the commoner boss hit so hard? when i try to parry his attacks they just break trough my guard and break my arms or just straight up kill me
nope. he got sliced in the face with a knife!

willy will endure bumps and bruises
but if your willy is visibly bleeding or missing limbs, your journey is coming to an end
it is easy to die but it requires courage to live
i know him
what a bitch of an ex wife to o
ultimate drunken knight
Hey please help me
ouch
i'd cosplay as him once they add in more arms and armor
people would cosplay me
I know that. its just that I am going so crazy with baron tier. No game has made me this mad before, and not like tryhard mad, more like mad mad
or should, a t least
like this?
ive always turned my damage down if i genuinly cant beat it😭
gary soup the unofficial half sword npc
what faction you guys prefer "Stamina regen, faster dodging, less damage taken, faster kicking"?
stam
"nah, i'd survive."
think i might take the damage one
stamina regen and damage resistance are always good picks
faster kicking is easily thwarted by thicker armors
and dodging is dodging
yep
Is there a dodge button?
is the void a extra life?
its the burst of speed that you feel when you hold down shift
idk
hey i waswondering how i can defeat the last boss he's just too strong the axe justs one taps me
the dodge is the sudden acceleration
Ohh nice
so guys its been month since i played half sword playtest and when i try to play it its says game not realse that mean i download the demo?
yes
steam page
thx
getting sent to the void is really confusing, sometimes i get hit and even though the cut isnt that deep and i am still cleary alive and able to surrener i get sent to the void anyway
yeah, its the way you redeem yourself
this tall ahh individual
i just got out of it rn lmao
that guy is sucha pushover dude
if you can keep dodging and smacking him in rhe head
could've got your progress back but y'know mistakes happen
doesnt work
it took me like 10mins to actually kill him
tall candlestick my beloved
Aiming for the head feels weirdly hard.
Like it just refuses to hit overhead or upwards
ok
yeah, its easier when moving sideways for me
that is a ridiculously-long finger
Also, does anyone else feel like blocking/deflecting hits is useless?
For reference, THIS is how powerful a overhead axe hit is (normal heal sliders)
It's only useless if you do it wrong
I'm sick of this boss
the war axe is ❤️
the blunt damage is so high that i had to lower the npc damage
Hi sick of this boss im lengle
Yup
This is mostly when talking about the bigger swords but if feels like they are nearly impossible to deflect
Every time I manage to block(with a shield) a hit and go for a counter attack, I seem to take damage anyways
its the ultimate factory reset button on all armor
yea
its unfortuante but its probably not gonna be like this
finnaly beat the commoner boss
punching is so weird oml
can you fight boses in free mode?
That man is a proper bastard
it said i unlocked the malitia but the highest class i have is still commoner
though now i have factions
oh i just had to chooose one
nvm
can you fight boses in free mode?
then you're not punching correctly
im talking about when u spam punch yk?
can you fight boses in free mode?
its goofy
cuz it's ineffective
i can teach you the arts of right-hand slapping
its not ive knocked out everyone who ive spammed on
THE PLAYTEST HAS BEEN PLAYTESTED
huh?
ALL THATS LEFT IS THE FOG
dont spam
spam no fun
punch with skill
very fun
CAPS LOCK YO
i got stuck on a wall
I honestly don't really like the bosses, it feels like the attack windows you get are incredibly small and they can only be beaten with cheesin and some luck
Which is why I also really like the first axe boss, he gives a few really nice attack windows whilst also punishing you really hard for even the smallest of fuck ups
for the bosses js dont give them room at all
And their hitboxes are enormous
my game is updating
if the bosses are easy i'll demolish you
so they added the playtest physics into the demo?
for bosses with blunt weapons like maces or axes, I find it easier to just have them miss a swing and then run right up to them so they have a harder time swinging again
The baseball bat technique really
Good luck
Exactly
the only difficult one is the commoner one with the greatsword
god damn it the malitia boss has the fuck stick
all i do is invade their personal space and puch
another abyss run ruined by having an enemy spawn 2 steps behind me
Some are somewhat easy, some are harder
I personally mostly struggled with the 3rd boss because he swings a heavy ass instakill sword like a maniac, tho you can probably get a good stab in at the start
I mean, they aren't nessecarily hard, more of just complete bastards
let's be honest though: that axe shouldn't be able to cut someone in half like that
im opening the game...
axe is axe.
yea
i keep on forgetting what slowmo is thats why
it should come surprisingly close actually
because that shit is sharp and heavy
just high gore setting probably
You clearly never got hit with an axe and got split in half
yeah but it's not wide enough that it'd cut someone in half instantly
i died in the abyss :(
in reality an axe hit like this would make you spill your organs like a pinata
I ain't watching that 
(Bugged on mobile)
always better than your game crashing in the abyss and not even being able to go back
haha
it does suck that you're so useless when you're on the ground though; you'd think willie would have the arm strength to raise his weapons in the way of the enemy's swings
i cut him in half
i have suffered enough
And to add a bit more, like I said to Scorp, most of the bosses are kinda just bastards
this guy entered the wrong fist fight
Half the time it feels the weapons just bounce off the bosses
like bringing a ur fists into a gunfight eh ?
Did you just spoil the final boss?
