halfsword-chat-⚔

[opaque creek]

yes there are

[lucid venture]

there are some hm

[fallow helm]

hi there, how do i aim the pitchfork upwards when i'm getting ready for a stab?

[white tulip]

last time i checked there were none

[opaque creek]

lock off and imagine a center crosshair

[untold aspen]

how tf do i avoid getting knocked out when fighting the baron

[opaque creek]

they are unhidden now on demo store page, but not for the official game

[fallow helm]

thx

[lucid venture]

im asking only because in Exanima discord if u mention K*tana or any of that kind of stuff people literally explode

[white tulip]

what is k*tana

[opaque creek]

this community isnt average age 12 years old you're ok

[fallow helm]

i haven't even seen this armor yet bruh

[lucid venture]

i dont think exanima's is either
they r just really strict in their tastes i guess

[formal chasm]

i love halfsword

[cursive fjord]

NPC damage increased to 1000.

[cyan apex]

If the last part of the Gauntlet didn't have the mercy of redoing that last part, I think I would've quit the game.

[fallow helm]

sir please activate your windows

[summer pasture]

higher,

[cyan apex]

Drunk Simulator.

[cursive fjord]

My guy this is 14th century europe there's no katanas there 😭
Would be cool as a mod though

[formal chasm]

i changed my motherboard and the cunts at microsoft wont let me activate now. no spyware for me i guess

[fallow helm]

this is exactly why the poor guy was afraid xD

[fallow helm]

look for KMS Pico

[formal chasm]

does that shit actually work

[opaque creek]

the portuguese can give willie a katana

[fallow helm]

it does, for me at least. gotta turn off antivirus and firewall to make sure it goes through tho, windows does not like that

[formal chasm]

katanas are just falchions but made in a dumb way

[lucid venture]

Fair point, and history accurate stuff is there for sure
Its just that this game strikes me more as a "for fun" game which could use probably anything that would add to the fun
But maybe all of this stuff could be mods yeah

[opaque creek]

falchion i hate falchion

[fallow helm]

not true

[formal chasm]

alright ill try

[opaque creek]

i love against the fence strikes

[fallow helm]

i hate them, i went to pick up a wooden shovel once and the idiot of an AI decided to bang its head against the fence TWICE, therefore resulting in me going unconscious

[opaque creek]

the ai banged its head against a fence making you unconcious? wtf

[fallow helm]

yes, the AI of my character trying to bend over and pick up a shovel

[opaque creek]

I hate turning into AI in half sword

[fallow helm]

i mean, what else is it? you can't exactly control it, it's too finnicky for that

[opaque creek]

picking-something-up animation

[fallow helm]

it's not an animation though

if it were an animation it would just clip through physics objects, right?

[summer pasture]

isnt it procedural anim or whatever its called

[opaque creek]

I think animation can be used loosely as well

[fallow helm]

fair enough, it is an animation

[summer pasture]

(its procedural animation) - shit that gang beasts does

[fallow helm]

still i fucking hate it because of moments like me trying to pick up a shovel and instead hitting my head on a fence twice

[sterile bison]

How u fling it around like that

[fallow helm]

when you go all the way up and a little to the left or right, it aims the weapon sort of behind you, so then you can pull that sort of maneuver

[tender quest]

practice

[sterile bison]

I see

[fallow helm]

damn, those are some reall ygood parries, i didn't even learn how to parry with a shield

[tender quest]

best way i can sum it up, is getting very used to the weight of a single weapon then knowing how to gradually accelerate it so when it connects it delivers a good whack

[spring minnow]

Abyss is pretty overwhelming rn, the player is practically naked with a candlestick by the time 2 or 3 longswords start showing up

[fallow helm]

is there any way to unlock the higher tiers without having to slave through the entire lineup of tiers?

[mighty furnace]

so is ultimte mode just unbeatable with the constant fatal error crashes

[opaque creek]

die over and over. Get angry. Change damage sliders

[spring river]

Chat Ive done it

[modest scroll]

Does anyone know what to do if certain armors dropping in ultimate challenge crashes my game?

[gilded breach]

free mode?

[sterile bison]

I noticed that. But idk all my attacks seem weightless like unless its a 2 handed weapon it doesn't really do shit. It didn't feel like that in playtest

[fallow helm]

where is that?

[sterile bison]

U preggo :D

[gilded breach]

bottom right

[tender quest]

i cant give any advice on anything other than greatsword, im a one trick pony

[fallow helm]

i may be blind

[mighty furnace]

the greatsword when you have to fight someone that has actual armor on:

[tender quest]

havent had any problems yet 😄

[sterile bison]

Dw dw all gudio

[opaque creek]

militus more like wilius

[tender quest]

Milton Halfsword

[spring river]

is there a way to fight bosses in free mode, I want a challenge for Baron

[tender quest]

that would be cool

maybe the trainer mod could be used to spawn them in idk

[nova marten]

why does my own team turn against me in small buhurt when I play as baron?

[mighty furnace]

no seriously tho

[tender quest]

just keep gore and blood on lowest for the final battle

[tight dirge]

should i keep my great sword or take this big axe?

[fallow helm]

keep great sword

[lunar goblet]

Sword will be safer with you in low armor

[tight dirge]

alr

[calm ivy]

Where can we download this mod? Is it on Nexus Mods?

[summer pasture]

i make

[tight dirge]

no children

[calm ivy]

Ohh cool.. is it available for us to use? How do we use it?

[summer pasture]

im modifiying it rn making it easier accesible, its super simple so far (features wise)

[tight dirge]

i really hope we get more maces in the future

[calm ivy]

Ohhh, okay! Definitely let us know when it's ready! 😄

[tight dirge]

cos there are literally 3 whole maces in the game

[summer pasture]

getting the z axis is a bit hard bc theres no way to increase y value 😭

just realised i started the project on wrong .net

[tight dirge]

that was a close one

[stiff cosmos]

Why are there no guides for the demo on steam? There were plenty of guides for the playtest.

[modern sun]

The way the light hits the sword makes it look like it’s of centre and only half as thick

[lavish crest]

I won a single combat game but I died after I opened the win screen thing and got transported to the abyss even though I literally won

[summer pasture]

huh? my program works first try?

https://tenor.com/view/suit-up-men-black-suit-gif-2421368187829713807

[lavish crest]

And now I'm dead when I should've been moving on

[winter quarry]

Legendary if true

[craggy verge]

NO LEG YET I WON

[vestal vault]

damn we need a hardcore mode where you cant use slowmotion or give up. i really think this cheating. oh gosh i am losing (pressing GIVE UP in an instant). feels not ok.

[granite herald]

slow motion is used by bad players

[summer pasture]

🤑

[rustic dove]

Ngl I feel like slow-motion makes me play worse more than anything. I've tried using it, yet every time I end up performing worse than if I just stuck to regular time

[true rain]

100% appropriate gif

[summer pasture]

my mod is semi done! aza!

[granite herald]

I haven't even used it once because my game doesn't run

[true rain]

huzzah

[humble hazel]

I got stiuck on the gore selection screen. Can not play. Reinstalling didn't help

[summer pasture]

only 82 lines

[granite herald]

give up then

[north trout]

try alt-tabbing and then alt-tabbing back in

[rustic dove]

Maybe you need to do a full reinstall? Check the #1047240101152960525 forums, maybe you'll find luck there.

[mint wadi]

free mode ultimate challenge is just....big man with no weapons or armor vs armored lol

[unkempt wraith]

muay thai is crazy strong, go for the calf lol

[humble hazel]

Did not help

[north trout]

idk what to say then

[humble hazel]

Ill try

[tight dirge]

that was clean

[granite herald]

add swords

[proven verge]

This got a lot harder to do
with the physics tweaks

[granite herald]

add physics tweaks

[fast osprey]

whats the point of spawning in the abyss after a run

[limber hazel]

I fought the baron 4 times and lost each time

[noble harbor]

to not lose character

[rustic dove]

Gambling 🤩

[humble hazel]

Full reinstall fixed it. Thanks guys

[rustic dove]

Did you know? 99% of Half Sword players quit right before they beat the Baron!!! Keep gambling 🤩

[proven verge]

I guess its okay since it didnt send me to the abyss

[abstract cairn]

soooo, the corpse despawn system in abyss doesn't work if there's something stuck inside the willie

[true rain]

guys, my engine was not working so i mounted a car on it and now it drives!

[brisk temple]

Huh how to unlock free mode ultimate challenge?

[calm ivy]

This is possibly the most traumatic Brave Stand the Willies have had today lol:

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k54Fz8HLK4A91ai_x?invite=cr-MSw1SjYsMjY1MzE2ODc2

[mint wadi]

It was a glitch. I think.

[rustic dove]

You need to beat gauntlet 💔

[brisk temple]

I mean I already did the baron but I'm curious as how to do it freemode

[true rain]

i really like that weapon it is really good at taking off limbs

[rustic dove]

If you beat the ultimate challenge in gauntlet, it should unlock in free mode. Before then though, once you've unlocked baron without beating the ultimate challenge, you play as the baron without armor nor weapons.

[manic cradle]

i managed to lift up the big guy

[calm ivy]

Right?? It's DEFINITELY ideal for limb removal! One of my faves, for sure

[proven verge]

Love me a good axe @true rain

[calm ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-clean-dancing-cleaning-mopping-sway-gif-9643872

CLEAAAN!

[mint wadi]

My name is Inigo Montoya.
Prepare to die.

[brisk temple]

Gosh now I want proper fencing swords in this game that rely on stabbing for proper hits

[mint wadi]

Ragamu-dead

[true rain]

mace and axe is peak atm

[brisk temple]

Also solid music choice LOL

[mint wadi]

it's whatever was playing on my spotify DJ. I turned pc sounds on for a meme with Shoebody Bop

[pulsar elbow]

what happens if i click on abyss?

[mint wadi]

You go to the abyss

[pulsar elbow]

for what purpose

[brisk temple]

Just for freeplay

[mint wadi]

It's pretty fun to 1 hand the 2 handed thin swords and it gives a similar vibe. dainty and delicate.

[brisk temple]

"There's one thing I forgot to tell you, I'm left handed too."

[mint wadi]

It gives "I'm so skilled I'll beat you with 1 hand" vibes.

[summer pasture]

why the fuck is my mod 141mb, does it take up 140mb to make it a single exe gawd damn

[mint wadi]

How is your mod 84 lines but 141mb

[summer pasture]

im including all the runtimes for .net, meaning anyone can run it as a single file and not installing anything except exe

[mint wadi]

oh lmao

[leaden rivet]

His dih gone😭😭💔💔

[summer pasture]

imma trim it and see how large file is

[mint wadi]

I mean that's one way to ensure compatibility.

[brisk temple]

I'm just saying, there's a reason why he's called Willie...

[summer pasture]

should i just keep it 2-3 files but be 500kb total 💀

[leaden rivet]

Battle on the last weiner standing

[true rain]

4 men 4 knife

[mint wadi]

Definitely lol 141mb for a small mod will make people think something is up tbh

[brisk temple]

I count 8 knives

[summer pasture]

you'd need only these 3 200 kb LOL

[true rain]

😏

[manic cradle]

grete champions arent that great if you think about it
if they were great champions they would fight people of equal level

[leaden rivet]

Four knives, 4 boxcutters

[summer pasture]

can u test my mod see if it works

[unkempt wraith]

fool guard is very good for thrusting

[mint wadi]

mate I'd love to but tbh I use my computer for rather sensitive stuff and I'm not executing any exe from a person I don't know.

[summer pasture]

i wanna see if it makes u install .net 6.0 or sm, alright

[brisk temple]

I find it hard to aim stabs, nor do I find the right moment for them aswell

[mint wadi]

yeah stabbies are hard. I think they fudged some things up in general with this new movement system for weapons. I really feel like I do more awkward swings where the joints lock up and my weapon turns and things.

[brisk temple]

I just use stabs to finish off downed enemies lol

[leaden rivet]

I just swing like a homeless man knife fighting in the alleyway for 5$

[rustic dove]

Really? I don't feel much the same, but I haven't made much use of swords in all honesty.

[mint wadi]

2 handed swords are my most used weapon by far. like 75% of my game time is 2 handed swords.

[north trout]

press space gnubbish

[brisk temple]

Ngl swords are like the only weapons I use, I rarely use anything else lol

[pulsar elbow]

how do i kick?

[rustic dove]

I'm the number 1 sword hater big sticks are just so much cooler imo 💔

[north trout]

you press space thats how

[brisk temple]

Space bar

[rustic dove]

I'm fairly sure it says how so in the settings under controls.

[mint wadi]

But can your stick do this?

[rustic dove]

Ngl this looks like what it feels like to use the Plançon but I digress, you have a point here.

[mint wadi]

Okay I agree it does feel like that to use the plancon. I just wanted to do something since free bird came on lol

[rustic dove]

Valid 🪬

[summer pasture]

But can your hands do this

[mint wadi]

Jesus.

[pulsar elbow]

i am 10x better in teh abyss than in arena

[summer pasture]

i gotta find a clip i did lol a sec

[pulsar elbow]

it does no

[rustic dove]

Yeah in the abyss you can get so much momentum you're basically running over the enemy like a Ford F-150 in a school zone 🙏

[summer pasture]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1361043123538759794/2025-04-13_19-18-51.mp4?ex=67fd51af&is=67fc002f&hm=b39eb4acbcc720adcfeb24ae3313789509ef31f61ac94dd541bf0f8ff8d22b78&

[tight dirge]

the big mace is SO my favorite weapon

[sterile bison]

did u just-

[rustic dove]

REAL

[tight dirge]

suuuuch a bummer that the neck break was censored

[thorn sparrow]

what is the main characters name? the one we use and see same face, does he have a name

[summer pasture]

i took a pic of neck aftermath lol

[mighty furnace]

Disarmed the baron with one hit from a mace and wobbled him with the next

[tight dirge]

willie

[thorn sparrow]

id smash Willie 😳

[tight dirge]

the only thing i want in this game is more maces thats literally it

[mint wadi]

Anyways, here's a 40 second clip. This is generally what I would say I like about swords outside of the flashy stuff you can do with them. Characterized by wide, snappy arcs that turn your offensive strikes into more defensive ones as long as you get into a cadence that doesn't use too much stamina.

[mighty furnace]

bro so cooked 🙏

[rustic dove]

Sucks the two handed mace is only at a few certain tiers I'd love for two handed mace in Knight tier instead of twohanding the one handed one.

[summer pasture]

ive gotten too good at martial arts

[thorn sparrow]

i cant see with Low Quality anything

[thorn sparrow]

wtf how did u do this?????????

[summer pasture]

wym

[rustic dove]

Too much words too much thinking, just instantly obliterate them with a side swipe or a hit to the head 💔

[thorn sparrow]

how did u Falcon Punch him basically? I know u can do Slow Motion but what did u do

[summer pasture]

all i did was a spin kick 😉

[mint wadi]

I can also do that in this 2 second clip.

[tight dirge]

when are they gonna add back the feature where you can pop heads with blunt weapons

[thorn sparrow]

how tf do u Spin Kick?

[deep shale]

the easiest way to defeat the commoner boss is to play pitchfork peasant
since thats a longer weapon than the greatsword

[summer pasture]

commoner boss ez

[mint wadi]

Bro got fucking CHOPPED

[tight dirge]

cut his head off so hard you even sliced his armor

[rustic dove]

I uh. May have to concede. Try doing that in knight tier though polearm-cels keep winning 🗣️

[muted mason]

HOW DO I GET THE GOLDEN PERSON'

[summer pasture]

😉 boutta ko golden knight in a sec

[mint wadi]

Holy shit you're right

[tight dirge]

i loved the part where his head just flew behind his body smoothly

[true rain]

disable starting dummy

[rustic dove]

Gamble in gauntlet 💔

[thorn sparrow]

what in the cheat code is this

[summer pasture]

i prefer it, its easier for me to make my mods

[muted mason]

how do i get the golden person?

[true rain]

up down up right right X O O left

[rustic dove]

You get him after beating all of Gauntlet

[mint wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/superman-clark-kent-kent-kal-el-gif-25210594

[tight dirge]

dude if half sword gets more maces and removes the armor slicing it is literally gonna be my favorite medieval combat game

[muted mason]

i beat gauntlet how do i use him

[summer pasture]

ez

[thorn sparrow]

Carnage > Spoilance

[rustic dove]

Free mode, the top tier

[true rain]

what in the mods

[muted mason]

ok

[summer pasture]

no mods 😉

[rustic dove]

Every time I play beggar carnage I can't help but think about Ceasar 😭

[tight dirge]

release this to the public please 🙏

[summer pasture]

u want it?

[true rain]

maybe halfsword was about the friends we made along the way

[summer pasture]

yall wanna see a clip where i hit this guy so hard in the head his legs broke?

[thorn sparrow]

the Beggar Boss Guide

Counter Attack Win

• Make him attack
• Dodge backwards (Shift and S)
• keep hitting his Arm until u bruise it and break it

[tawdry prism]

how do you spin kick?

[true rain]

the beggar boss guide (improved)

. grab knife
. wait for him to raise axe
. knife into abdomen

[thorn sparrow]

that also works

[tawdry prism]

(results may vary based on rng)

[true rain]

theres always a knife

[thorn sparrow]

but mine works when u dont have a Knife spawned in the Area

mine works on any time

[summer pasture]

lemme find aclip!

[tawdry prism]

I had a run with a candletick, a stool, and 2 shields. I didn't see a knife

[thorn sparrow]

no not always

there is times where it will not spawn a knife so u use what u can get or reset and go again for him @true rain

[true rain]

i've always seen a knife spawn

[rustic dove]

I just gamble until I get a candle stick or gauntlets because it makes the fight so much more braindead and consistant.

[lunar goblet]

Give him the crunch

[summer pasture]

here it is, when i broke the guys legs with a kick to headhttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1361052546348880013/2025-04-13_19-56-03.mp4?ex=67fd5a76&is=67fc08f6&hm=8a771caf9f3494ba04d6f0488c25261c715e93b7185ca4ec1ae35b68d3b012a7&

[mighty furnace]

the result of 5 solid minutes of swinging at the baron with a one-handed mace because he managed to knife my arm

[thorn sparrow]

jesus XD

[true rain]

i loved the part where you kicked his head

[summer pasture]

leg sweep of the fuckign century 😭

[thorn sparrow]

whats everyones Favorite Peasant weapon

[muted mason]

how do you put a SHIELD on your back

[rustic dove]

I swear Baron fights either go smooth as butter or is the most desperate rat struggle ever 🙏

[summer pasture]

i have dementia, forgot it was a hook 🙏

[muted mason]

how do you put a shield on your back? i need help with baron''

[rustic dove]

The billhook isn't what it once was but I still love it.

[true rain]

hold down the key of whatever your holding it in, its most commonly in the Q hand so you have to hold Q to stow it

[summer pasture]

why is willy moaning and crying after i sweeped his legs

[timid birch]

I did a thing

[muted mason]

one more question, which house do i pick for baron? the best one' **faction

[true rain]

yellow is the meta

[rustic dove]

Ngl personally I think germany might be the best but I always pick France for the Fleur-de-lys ⚜️ ⚜️ ⚜️

[vestal moon]

[summer pasture]

my strength mod seems to work perfectly fine!

[late parcel]

[muted mason]

i had it before but i didnt know u coudnt change it'

[true rain]

[summer pasture]

blue is actually broken tho, the speed boost is crazy, i used red usually

[muted mason]

how do you change my freind'

[thorn sparrow]

will there be Female Warriors
Will there be Black Willie Warriors

if so will people call it "Woke"

[summer pasture]

cant unless change save file prob

[muted mason]

D: !!!!

[lunar goblet]

HP is the most generally useful
Stamina is the best if you abuse slowmo
Speed is the best if you dodge and lung into attacks often
Kicking is a meme

[muted mason]

i hate blue house i run out of stamina to fast

[lusty dew]

Does anyone know how to fix the crashing on baron level?

[summer pasture]

KICK IS A MEME???

[lunar goblet]

Until death, brother.

[true rain]

#1047240101152960525

[muted mason]

stay away from the armour from that npcs drop'

[summer pasture]

kicking is no meme

[lunar goblet]

Yes? At the level kicking is very strong, you don't have the perk yet, and after that choosing to kick instead of hit with your weapon is just because you're dicking around

[royal epoch]

one of my new favorite clips

[muted mason]

referee do something hes butchering him

[true rain]

stabbed him so hard he starting to look like he tapped out mid plastic surgery

[rustic dove]

Blue/France is goated I don't want to hear any slander 🤫

[lunar goblet]

Once you get into heavy armor, kicking is at most useful for occasionally tripping someone up, or specific lung tech (which you don't spam)

[muted mason]

wait so blue house enhances kicks?

[lunar goblet]

you can spam kick faster

IDR what color

[true rain]

you litterally admitted yellow is better before

Uhhhhhh what graphics settings are you on? I'm on medium but I have a higher end PC, maybe yours are too high?

[tame thicket]

I must try training my battoujutsu

[rustic dove]

I concur.

[green stirrup]

I have medium, also damn that green guy from video up there does damage like its nothing. For me I sometimes feel like using butter knife

[sleek gull]

It is super fun! Do it!!

[mild niche]

Is anyone crashing a ton after the update on the 8th ?

[sleek gull]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-brennan-huff-step-brothers-no-not-at-all-gif-16704124883174027526

[mild niche]

damn, I never crashed but now I can't even play gauntlet

[alpine oriole]

i wish there was a way to get the scythe without mods, i want to be the one who cuts my opponent in half by backing up slowly on one leg

[fathom cloud]

Fun fact! There are several stories for how the Goedendag got its name, but a persistent one is that during the Bruges Matin massacre, Flemish men took over Bruges by greeting people in the street with a hearty Guten Tag! and if they responded with a french accent, beating them to death with the afformentioned weapon

[rustic dove]

Are you getting a fatal error during the ultimate challenge?

[rustic dove]

Now this is the content I joined the server for.

[mild niche]

I was but I turned blood off and beat it, but now the gauntlet gets repeated fatal errors pretty much every 3 fights

[mellow narwhal]

can i no longer just pick wtv i want in the demo
i dont want to go through 30 mins of cbt to get to play sword

[warped apex]

I feel like the gamerberson might be alittle strong lol

[cold echo]

A miserable story for a miserable weapon in all honesty considering clubs and spikes seperate are never fun but combined oh boy

[fathom cloud]

If you play the pure abyss mode by clicking the button at the bottom, you can use the scythe for combat and see yourself why they dont allow it in the main game sequence

[alpine oriole]

oh yeah fair

[rustic dove]

Is (almost) everything unlocked for you in freemode?

[tame thicket]

New scythe is not as murderous as the old demo's one though

[rustic dove]

It used to explode people it was so funny what have the done to my GOAT 😭

[mellow narwhal]

also why tf is tripping and falling over so common its so silly

just beat the 2nd boss because he tripped and fell on his weapon before we even smacked each other. Ive also been falling nonstop

[lofty crane]

seriously I feel like I fall here so much more

[tame thicket]

new GOAT is candelabra :P, nah actually it's the Glaive for me

[solar stratus]

theres a button tht lets u activate free play

[rustic dove]

The Candlestick is so good it's crazy I actually love it so much in Abyss

[lofty crane]

the big candlestick is mad op in the first 2 levels

[tame thicket]

It is pretty good, I think it may be the best blunt weapon, the force that thing generates is crazy

[lofty crane]

i hate the scythe with a passion tho I just resort to pitchfork ramming him

[rustic dove]

It's actually a stabbing weapon too if you use the back 🤩

[tame thicket]

yeah, I can only stab with it by accident though heh

[winged anchor]

Xd

[tame thicket]

Scythe guy is not even remotely as hard as it was on the old demo though, much easier to find an opening now

[mellow narwhal]

yeah except for when u trip and fall for no reason under no pressure and die

[rustic dove]

Halfsword into alt fr

[lofty crane]

I find myself getting stuck on the third boss and just using the arrow time to help me out with him

[tame thicket]

That does indeed suck, I can understand falling over whn being hit on the head, but sometimes you fall for no good reason, and then immediately turn into an elderly person with severe arthritis

[rustic dove]

Third boss sucks if you don't cheese with pitchfork 💔

[tame thicket]

ah true, never occurred to me half-swording it, the regular hold is so effective

[lofty crane]

Definitely my biggest gripe is the amount of falling over, head hits I get but light smacks turn me into an elderly person with a hip problem

[rustic dove]

Falling over wouldn't even be that bad if you could get up easily like in real life it just breaks the flow of gameplay so much I hope they implement a solution soon 👁‍🗨

[lofty crane]

Yk I never thought to use the commoner rank to take on the third level and cheese the greatsword boss good idea

[viral garnet]

rizzliac

[tame thicket]

It's the only way I ever got past that guy

[fathom cloud]

It makes me really mad that they are like "oh yeah lets chain head strikes together thats realistic, a grounded foe cant defend themselves" but if I take a damn sledgehammer to someones knee they are like "oh that doesnt do too much"

[viral garnet]

is there a way to report bugs? I got a juicy one

[calm ivy]

Same! Also, have you experienced the weapon flying out of your hands while just switching from right to left??

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k56DUOXXHYaqQMBeg?invite=cr-MSx0UnYsMjY1MzE2ODc2

[lofty crane]

Exactly, like when I fall over I feel like it takes 2 millennia to get up but my enemies get up in an instant I’m like what

[rustic dove]

YEAHHHH I've been billhook-maxxing recently and it's SO prevalent whenever you try to infight

[mellow narwhal]

i feel like 80% of the axe head smacks i do barely graze them and then 1 second later i touch someones blade that isnt even swinging and i insta die xd

[rustic dove]

#1047240101152960525

[lofty crane]

I never thought to try it, but I will definitely try it, and for that third level that spiked spear is wayyyyyy too op but I abuse the hell out of it

[calm ivy]

Yeaa! It's been happening so much.. at first, I thought it was weird glitch, but I think it has to do with the grip strength(??); it's annoying af, tho 🙄

[tame thicket]

4th boss I always go with billhook, can't beat reach

[lofty crane]

I also seethe so hard when I kill an enemy their weapon falls out and now my legs gone

[alpine oriole]

thats why 3rd boss is so hard for me there's no way to out range him and getting in close is so hard

[rustic dove]

Plançon is a hard counter though. I feel like at the Militia to Veteran ranks you can clean sweep with either Plançon or billhook

[mellow narwhal]

omfg yes or u randomly walk over a candle and break your knees legs and split your throat somehow

[alpine oriole]

its like sitting up to fast irl

[fathom cloud]

you can actually use either to clean sweep up to man at arms

[tame thicket]

Yep, he has a comically long sword, he's also like what 8 feet tall? I tried beating him with the commoner options, but never managed

[alpine oriole]

i just pray he doesnt phase through my block and split me in half by breathing on me

[fathom cloud]

the draw cuts with the billhook basically get around all armor until knight rank

[jolly gorge]

Curious, what happened to the old half sword on itch.io? My file that I had for it stopped working, tried to find it online to redownload, but can't

[rustic dove]

I think did that on my first Baron beating run but now I want to try out all the weapons in the game so I've been forcing myself not to cheese with allat 💔

[soft osprey]

How tf was this tied

Who wants this man as a mod

[alpine oriole]

its gandalf who doesnt want him

[near berry]

How to get play test?

[frigid tendon]

any tips for ult im pissed

[alpine oriole]

its gone, the demo has free mode tho which is the same as old playtest

[solar stratus]

imagine someone voted it thinking they were gonna make gandalf (fictional character) a mod in halfsword (game)

[soft osprey]

Well reading comprehension isn’t halfcords strong suit so I can definitely see it

[tame thicket]

pray for the RNG gods, also always go for polearms

[summer pasture]

not drawed, 10/15 said yes

[jolly gorge]

how i get that fr fr

[rustic dove]

Billhook/pitchfork/Plançon all the way. I found battlefield control is more important than anything else, so with these weapons and playing France you can easily kite the enemies with only a few bumps along the way. But yeah the real answer is Gambling 🤩

[soft osprey]

It’s his fault, super yes and yes were seperate. He sabotaged himself

[sleek gull]

With the double disarm!

[frigid tendon]

bet

[summer pasture]

gotta get on ur knees and beg 😉

[alpine oriole]

very nice

[limber kiln]

Hm, I'm now getting consistent crashes on the ultimate challenge, usually on the second go though.

[jolly gorge]

part 1 maybe but the rest no

[tame thicket]

Though that tower shield plus a decent sword or axe is also pretty effective in Baron

[rustic dove]

Are your gore and blood on? Those seem to cause the crashes. Try changing your graphics settings too maybe

[calm ivy]

This one made me cringe.. Willie's VERY graphic "root canal":

[soft osprey]

Ow ☹️

[limber kiln]

It was fine before, ever since the 'fix' the game would warn me of a fatal error though it keeps running. After a little longer though, it crashes.

[alpine oriole]

damn, dental care in the medieval times was like "yeah we removed your bad teeth and it was all but one, also we have to cauterize your gums or else you'll bleed out"

[covert peak]

is there actually a way to consistently kill the guys with spiky sticks using a longsword without getting hurt?

[calm ivy]

Hope he feels better after the procedure, tho! lol ^_^

[rustic dove]

That happens to me too, the only way I've managed to avoid it is by turning gore off with my graphics setting set to medium.

[true thorn]

how the fuck is he still alive

[calm ivy]

Maybe he'll get some fancy wooden chompers! lol

[stiff raven]

Sheer will

[limber kiln]

My graphics already are on medium, I'm not running a mega-recent GPU (1070 ti)

[rustic dove]

bad news pall, the Plançon is king 💔

[covert peak]

bonk him on he head and he'll vanish

[bold jacinth]

is anyone else having an issue where if theyre pressing rmb or lmb well moving you like, fall over

[waxen lance]

kinda, you gotta parry the plancon

[alpine oriole]

"well hello there fair maiden care to dance? i got me here some wooden chompers thatll make the following kiss more invigorating!"

[summer pasture]

why is blud holding onto me

[rustic dove]

How about your gore/blood? Are they on? They seem to be the root of the issue, unfortunately.

[limber kiln]

Pray you get the first swing in. That's all there is to fighting the goedendag

[marsh sandal]

sounds crazy but I think I mastered baron's polearm

[bold jacinth]

i keep powersliding when i swing at willie

[agile rock]

Was playing half sword with speakers and i died and the slomo happened and my wife says "Its bad enough you died they gotta make you sound stupid too?" xD

[limber kiln]

They are on, yes.

[alpine oriole]

while youre playing half sword she becomes your fair maden not simply your wife good sir

[sleek gull]

From kneeling, to parry!

[covert peak]

its just really hard to do because your sword just gets stuck and you cant do the required followup slash. and its not like you can use your movement to your advantage cause spear users and spike sticks have STAB AIMBOT

[rustic dove]

Alright, best of luck! Without the blood or gore, it becomes kind of hard to tell who's hurt, but at least it means you won't get cut in half and the game won't crash 🉑

[waxen lance]

I personally just bum rush em half sword position

[limber kiln]

Also, I find it funny that the way the devs have made the ultimate challenge is simply by moving the barriers into the ground.
There also appear to be spiked barriers which don't appear otherwise?

[waxen lance]

imma boot up half sword and win against a plancon rq

[covert peak]

but how do you get past the sharp half cause the bots react really really fast to your movements

[clear badge]

hi can I skip the beggar stage? Genuinely feel like it's such a waste of time and so boring

[waxen lance]

observe

[covert peak]

bet

[digital sparrow]

guys can you not play the playtest anymore?

[soft osprey]

Lmfao

[soft osprey]

No

It’s merged with the demo

[rustic dove]

Unfortunately not, but here's a little secret tip, you can get progress through all tiers of the gauntlet without risking losing your character by playing the tier you're at in gauntlent in free-mode 🤫

[digital sparrow]

oh yay! so i can still play in the arena arrea?

[waxen lance]

he folded me like a fuckin omlette dawg

[alpine oriole]

yes

[covert peak]

expected. the reason I'm asking is that my friends think I'm ass at the game cause I cant effectively kill him

[clear badge]

are you not supposed to block the champions? I feel like anytime you block them you just instantly lose all stamina and fall

[alpine oriole]

when i try to block the commoner boss he defies the laws of the universe and his sword phases through mine and cuts me in half

[rustic dove]

Yeah they're too big and strong I usually just dodge and kite 🥀

[waxen lance]

I lost cus I fucking tripped on the dudes legs, I usually use my fav weapon so I'm not usually fighting plancons with a longsword

[true thorn]

drip

[waxen lance]

this effectively kills them, you outrange the plancon with it

[summer pasture]

how far will my golf ball get flung, i got perfect swing

[covert peak]

yeah. also how do I stab well? I'm so bad at the stabbing motions and would appreciate some tips

[vapid wolf]

i had a hammer and somehow the enemy's arm cracked, is this rare?

[marsh sandal]

Is my knight ok? I was sparring with him then one hit he started choking and now he won't even make a noise (I'm a baron)

[rustic dove]

How do you usually do it? I usually just hold alt and move my mouse up and down.

[waxen lance]

I'm not that good at stabbing yet, but with polearms, swap arms with x to swing it back and fowarth like a hammer

[waxen lance]

me when I hit someones bones with a steel metal object intended for blunt damage and it breaks their bones

[covert peak]

I can never do it right. I always miss and end up facing the ground after a thrust or 2. positioning is the worst part for me

[summer pasture]

what about punching em and their neck snaps

[vapid wolf]

Ive been playing for 50 hours, never had it happen

[rustic dove]

Try practicing with the pitchfork, it's a great introduction to stabbing as it's light and fairly forgiving with it's timing and positioning.

[clear badge]

Maybe I did it wrong but it didn't work

[waxen lance]

@covert peak NOW OBSERVE AS I DUNK ON THE PLANCON

[covert peak]

DO ITTTT

[marsh sandal]

Update: The clerics say that he's been dead for 5 minutes now

[unkempt wraith]

plow guard is even better for thrusting, and it defends low left line lol

[alpine oriole]

if you win it will be intrinsically satisfying to my sould

[hollow egret]

WHACK HIS ASS

[alpine oriole]

YEAHHHHHHH

[covert peak]

YESSSSSS now do it with longsword like me

[hollow egret]

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[waxen lance]

longswords a lot harder, cant outrange the plancon easily, I'll try

[rustic dove]

I'm doing some testing right now, I'll let you in on it later though.

[waxen lance]

observe.

[covert peak]

I'll feel like I've beaten the game in my own way when I finally find a way or just get good enough to do it

[umbral notch]

i cant seem to launch the game i have been trying for over 30 hours any ideas

[waxen lance]

Cut off his arm, cant really wield a two handed weapon with one arm huh

[alpine oriole]

validate game files?

[covert peak]

lmaoooooooo

[rustic dove]

Okay, nevermind, it only seems to work once you've chosen a faction and are playing as that same faction in free mode.

[umbral notch]

i just got it

[hollow egret]

Do something else (verify file integrity on Steam)

[alpine oriole]

nice tell me when you cut someone in half for the first time

[rustic dove]

That, or you might have to do a full reinstall.

[covert peak]

do the machete type swords have a name?

[hollow egret]

Do it anyway it'll take like a minute

[waxen lance]

swashbucker specials

[rustic dove]

Falchion?

[umbral notch]

no bc i mean i just got the game also how do i do that @hollow egret

[covert peak]

maybe

[lunar goblet]

Yeah, those are falchions, wide very thin swords

[hollow egret]

Right click, properties, and its in one of those sections I forgor which one 💀

[lunar goblet]

Fully unistall the game

Go to the steam page, and reacquire the game

Download it

[sleek gull]

He just wants to dance!

[covert peak]

you are a very fluid mover

[sleek gull]

Thank you for saying that = )

[soft osprey]

Right click halfsword in your steam library, press properties. Under General there’s a line for Launch Options. In there type in: -dx11

Start with that

[lunar goblet]

Spikey stick tech

[thorny perch]

is the 30 still here?

[north trout]

this works with any double-edged weapon i.e. polearms, sword etc

[summer pasture]

midas touch

[lunar goblet]

I mean specifically dragging to snap the knee

[north trout]

is that the trainer mod?

[viral garnet]

My lord and savior, Cheesus Sliced

[waxen lance]

"mangcore"

FUCKING DIES

[summer pasture]

a pro mod made by me

[north trout]

bruh

[waxen lance]

how I get my hand on it lol

[summer pasture]

the mods in a stage where it can be released, idm giving it

hmu if u want it 😉

[sleek gull]

Delicious counter attack

[waxen lance]

I'm hittin you up

[summer pasture]

idk why but it reminded me of a parry five

[timid imp]

very good

[soft osprey]

If you have an actual mod to release post the link in #modders-guild-hall and I can pin the message

[covert peak]

everytime I swing I always do these janky swings where I dont end up doing any damage cause I hit the enemy with the flat part of the sword. any tips to get rid of this habit?

[summer pasture]

would it be worth releasing? its super simple rn

[waxen lance]

yes

[soft osprey]

There’s no harm in it. It may have functions already covered in other mods, I don’t know for sure. But maybe some people want something more simple

[white quail]

I have beaten the abyss! Hurrah!

[summer pasture]

ill se

[covert peak]

literal god amongst men

[soft osprey]

Whatever you wanna do, ping me if you wanna post it so i can pin it when you do brother man

[summer pasture]

ight, im planning a flight mod too, if i make that its gonna be fire ( idk if possible)

[waxen lance]

same

[sleek gull]

Try playing with less linear strike patterns. Give it a little arc here and there.

[marsh sandal]

I just saw a begger with a baron polearm beat a knight with full gear

[lunar goblet]

I've seen people mod gravity, so maybe start your search there?

[summer pasture]

was thinking of changing coordinates

[covert peak]

awesome. I'll try some curved mouse movements

[white quail]

literally all you need is the spiky stick, i think its like a godenburg or sumin'

[waxen lance]

IS A PLANCON AU PICOT

[lunar goblet]

goedendag

[white quail]

idk what you just called me but im reporting it to the authorites

[upbeat palm]

Lowkey was suprised when i read that there planning on adding quests and worlds or someting to the game. Sounds sick but also would def be satisfied if the game stayed a arena game like currently

[waxen lance]

putain bordel

[lunar goblet]

The pitchfork tines are a distraction, it's actually just a long club

[covert peak]

my god that was a juicy hit😭

[lunar goblet]

Headbonks are the best

[waxen lance]

what would a spearhead on a shield like this be used for, if at all?

[sleek gull]

"Spear Head" mmmhm

[lunar goblet]

Parrying and thrusting

But mainly because it looked cool

[waxen lance]

or spike

[marsh sandal]

Where do HS pics go to? Im tryna send it but I cant see it

[remote iris]

ue5 told me it had an fatal crash whilst the game was still running so i kept playing and then it closed 💯

[thorny perch]

Nah

[lunar goblet]

In buckler and sword, it's not that uncommon to see strikes with the face of the shield

@marsh sandal Go to local files through stream

[sleek gull]

Another lovely counter. But not as good as the last one = /

[marble raven]

got a lil angry

[summer pasture]

tonights the night.... 1B x dmg with an axe...

tonight was the night

[lunar goblet]

Nah brother, use blunt

[summer pasture]

blunt too op for me

[lunar goblet]

Idk, the drawing into an attack kinda just feels janky, though is does seem to come out smoother if you immediatly halfsword

[sleek gull]

Do you hold down Shift?

[lunar goblet]

I did in the first clip

Yeah, it definitly feels better being drawn into half sword, at least for me

[sleek gull]

I see a difference in movement. When you draw, you are walking forward more than I do. I may take 1 step, but then i'll usually stop to assess our measure and whether they are stunned, or poised to counter me.

[lunar goblet]

hmm

[deep shale]

i want spoilerance but with better weapons/classes

[lunar goblet]

Yeah, that was it.

[sleek gull]

Here is a good example. My movements are more of a stop and go sort.

[sleek gull]

I haven't done that yet! Kick to unsheathe and cut. That is sick!

[soft osprey]

Damn that was slick

[deep shale]

samurai

[lunar goblet]

I tend to be more lunge based, so It didn't click for me immediatly ,but makes some sense

The quick draw into a guard bash is still hilarious though

[sleek gull]

If you like to lunge. Try out these movements. From these coiled and stretched positions, you can get some really good spring attacks

[umbral notch]

Still doesn’t work

[spice holly]

do you guys think that cuts are too strong in current version? just like 1 touch is enough to cut dude in half

[umbral notch]

Could someone help me my game won’t launch and I don’t know why

[spare drift]

how to break bones

[rustic dove]

Either try verifying files, or fully reinstall the game.

[lunar goblet]

Hit the joints

[ivory prawn]

is it me or the boss are a little too strong?

[rustic dove]

Give em the ole' one-two or hit them really hard with a blunt weapon (or the billhook, that seems to break bones all the damn time)

[spare drift]

what about in fist play

[umbral notch]

Ok

[rustic dove]

Depends, which ones are you talking about?

[lunar goblet]

Get lucky.

[wicked needle]

what's a progress showcase

[ivory prawn]

in general

[spare drift]

none of this will work? :(

[rustic dove]

If you turn you DPI way up, swing really wide and have a really good frame-rate, maybe you could consistently break bones, but usually I just aim for the head and try to knock them over and kick then while they're down

[lunar goblet]

Not consistantly, sorry.

[spare drift]

my arkham knight interrogation roleplay

[rustic dove]

I disagree, some of them feel pretty good to fight against but I do agree than some of them can be pretty suffocating. The commoner and militia boss come to mind.

[soft osprey]

At what point is it crashing for you

[umbral notch]

not even letting me start

[soft osprey]

Try a clean reinstall. One sec

[lunar goblet]

Average fork gameplay

[ripe ore]

or just spam kicks (works in real life too)

[umbral notch]

That’s what I just did. I’m trying to launch it, but it won’t do it

[soft osprey]

Solution: Clean reinstall

Delete all files relating to the half sword playtest existing in your local files. Be sure to back up your screenshots folder if you took any!
Navigate to and delete the Half Sword Playtest folder located in the following directory.
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common
Navigate to and delete the Saved folder located in the following directory.
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5

Finally, reinstall Half Sword Playtest.

be sure to get ALL files listed above before reinstalling, and it should work. Let me know your results please!

[rustic dove]

You did this complete clean one or just uninstall and reinstalled

[lunar goblet]

That’s not a clean reinstall, it still leaves files on your pc that you need to delete before reinstalling

[ivory cobalt]

Why do the characters just lay there so much now

feels like sumotori dreams in this shit, every small shove loses my balance

what happened to the game i love 😭

[strange token]

alright can the ultimate challenge crashes actually get fixed please?

[soft osprey]

No

[light skiff]

yeeesss

[muted mason]

are there any mods that still work for this game

[lunar goblet]

idk, try them

[umbral notch]

How do I crouch

Crunch

[rustic dove]

Control/Ctrl key. Check the keybind sheet in settings for more.

[glass canyon]

the ultimate challenge is more of a fight against the game giving me a fatal error than the actual enemies

[lunar goblet]

Shaft parries are dope

[rustic dove]

Try tuning blood and gore off, it worked for me

[rapid tartan]

managed to somehow cut some guys face so much he had 3 eyes after

[unborn blaze]

I wish I could do video editing things. I just threw a guy from behind me by spinning him by his weapon.

[glass canyon]

man... i really like the blood though... it helps me see how much damaghe i did...

[sleek valve]

My reaction

[unborn blaze]

Every time I play I feel myself bobbing and weaving with every strike.

[spare pier]

i love how the game crashes every 2 fucking seconds 😭

[rustic dove]

Same but, it is what it is. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon 😃 👍

[rapid tartan]

skill issue? its never crashed for me lmao

[spare pier]

well fuck you

[lunar goblet]

use steams in built recording feature.

[rustic dove]

This guy really Inabakumoris

[unborn blaze]

I didn't even know it had that. Thank you!

[rapid tartan]

what level do you get image perms so i can send a ss of this guys cut face 💀

[lunar goblet]

it might be easier on my harddrive it didnt lmao

[solemn holly]

i think it's level 2

[unborn blaze]

I found a video this morning of Half Sword that had me crying

[rapid tartan]

ah ok thanks

[trail flax]

Love these parries. I'd do the same, my character would walk over the scythe or axe and lose a foot lmao

[vocal moss]

I cut through his helmet

[rustic dove]

I didn't even know levels affected perms.

[rapid tartan]

im assuming it does since i cant post images and i've just joined the server and other people can

[solemn holly]

level 1 is reaction perms, level 2 is image perms, level 3 is VC perms, if i recall correctly

[rustic dove]

Oh shit I'm already level 3 I should go outside 💔

[lunar goblet]

I also have bloopers brother

[rapid tartan]

level 3's not that bad

[lofty crane]

Took a shower, booted up the game and now I’m at ultimate challenge

[sleek valve]

Imagine taking a shower before playing games

[lofty crane]

I felt stinky 💔

[lunar goblet]

This is still my favorite fight I'e had

[rapid tartan]

i kept dying on the 3rd boss earlier but then i found out you can slow down time 💀

[lunar goblet]

I threw down my weapon when willie dropped his, so when he went to get a weapon, he threw me one back lmao

[lofty crane]

Sometimes I’d just drop my weapons and throw hands

[rapid tartan]

my fav fight i had was i chopped off both his legs with one swing and on the swing back i chopped off his head so he was just laying there like a little blob on the floor

[lunar goblet]

Sometimes I just throw my weapon

[lofty crane]

Holy shit

[lunar goblet]

Oh, on the earlier subject of bloopers

[umbral notch]

how can i get on the play test

[lunar goblet]

Don't, it got rolled into the demo

[spare pier]

I Love how the ai can constantly swing and kick then get hit and not fall down but if i run for 2 seconds i fall over

[umbral notch]

were do i get amor and stuff

[lunar goblet]

Keep an eye on your feet as you run, you can start to see as he gets unsteady

[spare pier]

wont help when i just randomly trip

[lunar goblet]

Click the button at the bottom right that says Free Mode

Alternatively, you can play gauntlet mode, which is on screen. You fight your way up through tiers

[spare cape]

At ultimate challange, so far so good except this one dumb knight keeps charging me I cant hit him😭😭

[lunar goblet]

You can see me recovering from a fall here, as soon as I see myself sagging, I stop my swing, and sprint in the opposite direction, it wont always work, but you can counter a fall a decent chunk of the time

[spare pier]

you had a chance there for me its just instant most of the time

[trail flax]

Gave his ass the HANDS

[lunar goblet]

Nap time

[lunar goblet]

Fighting the first boss unarmed is pretty fun, can be pretty tough though, that axe chunks

[cunning lance]

Is it just me or is the 3rd boss really hard

[lunar goblet]

Which was is that, the greatsword guy? he's one of the harder ones for sure

[rustic dove]

He is I hate him 🉑

[cunning lance]

Yeah I get to him and he literally just chops me in two idk how to counter the mf

[lofty crane]

Use the peasant and use the pitchfork

[lunar goblet]

If you need to counter his hits, it's pretty much impossible to do it with a static block, you have to attack into his attack

[rustic dove]

Either you get a lucky stab in or you bring the pitchfork up a tier in my experience

[cunning lance]

I acc just figured out you could do this today. I've been tryna take him down with a regular sword

[lofty crane]

I tried too as well and it worked a few times but honestly someone told me to just use pitchfork and it worked beautifully

[amber pollen]

I need half sword to stop fuckng crashing in the abyss, I'm genuinely upset how there's still just a bunch of fatal errors ruining my experience

[cunning lance]

Also I've personally never used the pitchfok I always go for the axe or the hoe

[amber pollen]

especially when it forces my entire game to close for ignoring the message

[lunar goblet]

The best time to approach him is when he has his sword centered, you can parry his thrusts to the side if you have to, and if he tries to go for a cut, you'll be inside his guard before he can stop you

Just bait out his attacks from a distance till you see him with his sword in the center

The safest zones against him are outside of his reach, and chest to chest

[twin mesa]

hardest boss in game for me

[cunning lance]

I'll give this a try cuz I'm ass with the pitchfork. Thanks for the advice man

[lunar goblet]

The reason he blows through your guard is because of his mass combined with the mass of his sword, when he's in a neutral stance or thrusting, he's applying less of his bodies mass than normal

THe cuts are like x3 as hard to parry, because unless you smash into the attack, he'll blow right through and take your limbs

[dapper moat]

How many people use Alt to stab? It's really useful

[twin mesa]

not to mention his sword is like the sharpest object in the universe 😭

[rustic dove]

Try turning blood and gore off if you haven't already, it seems to work for me.

Best of luck 👍

[twin mesa]

also just turn your overall graphic setting down

[uneven canyon]

hello

[twin mesa]

hello

[spare cape]

Thats what I did

Im at the last challange rn facing gold knight

[timber pilot]

halfing my sword rn

[ripe ore]

who up halfing dey sword

[timber pilot]

i think this guy likes inabakumori

[rustic dove]

I'm over here halfing my sword right now, I got blood on my sword I'm a willie fr

[spare cape]

What does that mean

[ripe ore]

im bloodthirsty asfff

[spare cape]

Im just smashing everyone with the spear and long axes

[ripe ore]

survival instincts of a gummy bear

[rustic dove]

Just when I thought you were based you don't go band for band against the commoner boss 💔

[sleek valve]

I love dirty tricks

[spare cape]

Guys am I gonna beat the gold knight? Im fighting him rn😎

[cobalt fern]

Dude im so sick of the first boss

the rng of where the weapons spawn are always out of my favor as they spawn directly infront of him

my character never wants to pickup the weapons if i do get to them

and literally upon the most minuscule contact with his axe is enough to chop an entire limb off

im starting to get a little tilted

[rustic dove]

99% OF HALF SWORD PLAYERS QUIT RIGHT BEFORE THEY HIT THE BARON 🗣️ 🔥 🤩

[sleek valve]

The knife always spaws in the center

[cunning lance]

I literally just got decapitated by bro cuz it gave me 3 hammers and a bar stool

[rustic dove]

Same honestly, I'd be happy if they just made the spawns more consistent.

[ripe ore]

I agree with the RNG part, i usually just surrender till i get candelabra

[sleek valve]

THE KNIFE LITERALLY ALWAYS SPAWNS IN THE CENTER!!!!!!

[cunning lance]

Candelabra is almost too good tho so it feels like cheating

[ripe ore]

He has an axe. I have no remorse

[cobalt fern]

''yeah lets run directly to the middle towards the guy with an axe''

[cunning lance]

WHO BRINGS A KNIFE TO AN AXE FIGHT

[rustic dove]

I'm not British I can't use it 💔

[ripe ore]

lost with a candelabra...

[spare cape]

If you stab directly, you can obliterate him

[sleek valve]

Me

[cunning lance]

Yeah but that means I have to at some point be directly in front of him which means he can cleave me in twain

[safe prism]

does anyone happen to have any advice for the ultimate challenge? im struggling pretty hard and i want to know if theres a technique or if i should just get gud

[spare cape]

How about a British colony?

[ripe ore]

run backwards and take cheap shots

[rustic dove]

We still speak French so no, still don't have the license to use a knife effectively 😭

[cursive fjord]

You can, plus the time dilation helps alot.

"The dirtiest warrior is the best warrior" -me

[spare cape]

Keep backing up till he swings then immediately run forward, if u hit, good, if no hit, bad. Either way if he doesn’t fall. Immediately back up and repeat

[ripe ore]

left click, spacebar, aye

[cunning lance]

I always just get immediately knocked to the ground and forced to surrendur

[rustic dove]

I found battle field control to be the most important factor. Good stamina or fast dodging goes a long way, especially alongside a long weapon like a pitchfork/billhook/plançon. You just gotta try to keep the initiative ig and get lucky because the ultimate challenge is really about GAMBLING BABYYY 🤩

[spare cape]

Haha im from a former British colony so I got the license

[lunar goblet]

There's no timer, any time you need a moment to look through loot, or to let enemies split up, just circle the arena for a moment

[rustic dove]

Well, same but the British kinda sucked at their job (it's probably too cold up here and no fish & chips)

[spare cape]

Dont run with ur whole body at him. Only till ur knife digs in. If you slam into him ur gonna fall

[sleek valve]

it's fucking hot down here in thighland 🇹🇭

[spare cape]

Which colony?

[rustic dove]

It's -12 here I'd rather take the heat than -12 in mid-April 😭 😭 😭

[sleek valve]

Celsius, what else?

[rustic dove]

Le Québec/Canada ⚜️ ⚜️ ⚜️

[cunning lance]

I jus tried it for the first time and it was literally a one shot..... Y'all might be right

[silver acorn]

the new update is so stupid, why would it delete my character when i lose, its going to take literally fucking FOREVER for me to try out the other classes, just generally all around REALLY ANNOYING, I wnat to enjoy the game, not be forced to unlcok all the classes IN ONE LIFE. omfg its so dumb

[spare cape]

Yess

[sleek valve]

Fahrenheit.. got it....

[rustic dove]

Minor exaggeration my bad -7 Celsius

[cunning lance]

You can click on free mode

[alpine oriole]

yeah free mode is just the old playtest

[spare cape]

Do you get barron in free mode if u unlock him

[rustic dove]

Try Free-Mode, unless it hasn't unlocked for you then that's a glitch and you should probably report it.

[safe prism]

yuh

[placid relic]

bruh anyone ele getting the crashes for the baron mode

[alpine oriole]

free mode starts with all classes unlocked, you cant fight the bosses tho

[spare cape]

Lowest graphics is best to avoid crashes

[sleek valve]

Half sword blacksmith mode when

[covert peak]

this is what every enemy does to me regardless of whether I dodge or parry. they alway aimbot towards my neck man

[lunar goblet]

until you die

[rustic dove]

I need to move south 😭

[ripe ore]

never

[spare cape]

What do you mean

[rustic dove]

Yes, but try disabling blood and goreif you haven't already, that seems to work 👍

[lunar goblet]

You are the baron in free mode, until you die. Then you lose him.

[ripe ore]

if you die in gauntlet after getting him you lose him

[sleek valve]

K imma go play power fantasy simulator now (blade and sorcery)

[rustic dove]

Have fun 👍

[spare cape]

Haha. We get rainy summers, snowy falls. And 80 degrees sometimes in the winter here

[covert peak]

I think I just kicked someones leg off....

[rustic dove]

And here would be?

[ripe ore]

LMAO

[rustic dove]

Oh goodness me, and what would be on there?

[spare cape]

Gauntlet? U mean free mode?

[rustic dove]

Really? Fr? No cap?

[safe prism]

anybody else wish there was like some minor healing on the ultimate challenge? like if you get a limb crippled if you can still kill the enemies you heal at the end of the wave

[spare cape]

Its easy

[rustic dove]

I do feel the same, I'd like if it were like Abyss in that way.

[ripe ore]

i lost it after i died in gauntlet

[cunning lance]

Is it just me or is alt a very inconvenient button for stabbing

[rustic dove]

Depends on the luck because at the end of the day HalfSword is not actually a physics based swordfighting game but a slot machine in a very big disguise 🤩

[compact creek]

The balancing on the challenge mod is so bad

[covert peak]

I hate both

[rustic dove]

Really? I have no problem with it in all honesty

[covert peak]

bruv why can you lot react but I cant

[ripe ore]

there is way too much pee related stuff

[cunning lance]

For me it's next to my spacebar but like underneath my palm... It pmo fr

[covert peak]

I love reactions

[sleek valve]

THOSE WERE MONTHS AGO 😭

[rustic dove]

Speak more and you'll get level roles which unlock perms

[deep moat]

Not sure why but I've found myself totally addicted to this game

[covert peak]

oh awesome sauce

[rustic dove]

Maybe it feels a bit better for me since I'm left handed idk

[timber pilot]

why can't i ever find a black/dark gray top for the tier 3 but the NPCs usually spawn with one

[sleek valve]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-attorney-going-insane-crazy-gif-24253046

[rustic dove]

It's okay Tuna we're all freaks we accept you for who you are.

[covert peak]

wrong. he aint using words bro. you cant call em words

[rustic dove]

Are you still crashing even with blood and gore off?

[sleek valve]

also i don't actually drink piss 😭

[lunar goblet]

I don't believe you

[deep moat]

That's what a pissdrinker would say

[ripe ore]

thats what a piss drinker would say

[sleek valve]

I'm not sniper tf2 bro...

[covert peak]

not a proud one at least

[rustic dove]

Stop ❌ reacting can we at least pretend we're accepting? 😭

[deep moat]

jinx

[ripe ore]

Either be a proud piss drinker or dont be one at all

[cunning lance]

Thrash metal and this game goes so had

[rustic dove]

It's okay Tuna I believe you we're allowed to have whatever fétiches we'd like (maybe make an alt though)

[cunning lance]

I get twice as angry when I lose though

[ripe ore]

Woah

[raw pawn]

Hey guys, is there any fix for crashes midway through the Ultimate Challenge? It's so wierd cuz I can even just minimize the error message and keep playing for like 2 more minutes and then it closes

[deep moat]

Try and lower your blood and gore settings

[spare cape]

WE KILLED THE BARRON

[sleek valve]

never linking my reddit account to my discord account ever again ong

[covert peak]

turn graphics to potato mode

[rustic dove]

Yeah like I said make an alt, Tuna.

[covert peak]

saucy as fweak

[deep moat]

goddamn its almost like asking nicely and being respectful gets you decent answers.

[safe prism]

besides the crashes, the only issue with gore in the final challenges is the enemies can cut you clean in two just like you can to them lol

[cunning lance]

Wrong saying slurs always gets you what you want

[rustic dove]

No way, impossible. Being nice is far beyond us Half Sword users. Cuckold!

[soft osprey]

not ok

[timber sleet]

ouch

[spare cape]

Guys I got the barron

[cunning lance]

Me after 2 shots

[deep moat]

good shit bro, hell yeah

[rustic dove]

Well done man 🎉🎉🎉

[spare cape]

He died in the greatest way. I disarmed him and hit his neck with an axe

[rustic dove]

I believe so, his messages got deleted though I'll be honest I think you did have some part is his hostility.

[covert peak]

if I fall over I just give up straight away I cba to trya dn get back up with a single breathe from the enemy is all it takes to knock me back down

[cunning lance]

Real shit I think this is the strat ngl

[rustic dove]

I mean you could have been a little less confrontational imo but it is what it is 🥀

[deep moat]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-want-peace-i-want-problems-always-choose-violence-no-peace-problems-gif-24342946

[cunning lance]

It's also not his fault that he got pissed over an internet argument

[rustic dove]

Try clicking free mode?

[covert peak]

imma be real I cba lol. too much faff just to try adn get up for a minimal chance of actually winning after a fall

[rustic dove]

I agree, I'm not putting the entirety of the blame on Seal, I'm just saying the excalation was not necessary.

[deep moat]

I've seen some people grab Will's by the feet and lift them and throw them around, I wanna try that

[rustic dove]

Come on man, I thought we were over this?

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-you-mean-by-that-gif-10559980082154008380

[ripe ore]

Jeez, wouldn't go around advertising that to people

[rustic dove]

Well it is what it is ig 🥀

[cunning lance]

Yeah but it's an internet argument Ion think this is a discussion ngl that's dumb

[lunar goblet]

Run going decently so far

[sleek valve]

why does one even check my socials anyway for like 3 comments

[covert peak]

I hate spear users....

[cunning lance]

Ts made me realise if I get past this guy then die I gotta kill him again.... I'm so incomprehensibly cooked 🙏🙏🙏

[ripe ore]

why not

[rustic dove]

I don't think it's dumb to try to be civilized on both ends but alr man 🉑

[worn heron]

nice way to get yourself banned guy

[deep moat]

Let's be a little meta, we are definitely not the same irl as we are on the internet

[cunning lance]

You're on discord gng

[rustic dove]

Good point, but like the mods are out there so 🤫

[safe prism]

got so fucking far in the ultimate challenge just to lose by getting shoved over with nothing i could do 🙂

[sleek valve]

https://tenor.com/view/me-after-using-my-internet-personality-in-real-life-for-one-day-gif-27136086

[worn heron]

yeah. a discord where there are rules. show some respect for them, yeah?

[cunning lance]

True I am not the burned man from Fallout New Vegas irl believe it or not

[lunar goblet]

Im just doing an abyss run atm

[deep moat]

Well I guess my whole life was a lie then.

[rustic dove]

I'm getting backed up by mods my aura is all gone 💔

[timber sleet]

what aura

[cunning lance]

I am showing respect to them no?

[spare cape]

Its so easy to beat the knight now. All it took was half a sword

[covert peak]

weapons aside, do the bots get more skilled as you go up the tiers or is it just teh weapon they're using?

[ripe ore]

the weapon and armor

[rustic dove]

Let's have a duel to the death for that snide comment, pal.

[cunning lance]

I'm sorry... I wasn't covered in pitch and thrown off a cliff 💔 heartbreaking ik

[deep moat]

We still have time :)

[sleek valve]

Can a foam sword break my bones if I hit it hard enough

[cunning lance]

Woah but you forgot about the uhh the being a legate and stuff I gotta do that first

[rustic dove]

Yeah because then you'd be drinking piss apparently

[deep moat]

Why stop there? Make it go a fraction of the speed of light so its impact would replicate a small ordinance blast

[ripe ore]

Drinking piss and watching jerma openly

[worn heron]

actually yes it has

[sleek valve]

which i clearly don't actually do ❤️ also here's a random lizard

[cunning lance]

Drinking jerma and watching piss

[ripe ore]

you implied you were racist???!!!

[worn heron]

youve been xenophobic and openly declared yourself a racist

[rustic dove]

LIZARD‼️ ‼️ ‼️

[soft osprey]

Oh boy oh boy

[worn heron]

give me one GOOD reason to NOT ban you

[sleek valve]

what a cruel twist of fate...

[worn heron]

yeah im banning you

later

[cunning lance]

Can't even be openly racist anymore ts is literally 1984

[covert peak]

it wasnt banter? waht did I miss???

[soft osprey]

This is a stupid distinction

[hollow mason]

Get him out!!

[deep moat]

Semantics wont help you here friend

[ripe ore]

I said i was a piss drinker that doesnt mean i was drinking piss
