i mean the devs aim for an average of 60% win rate so thats not that bad
Yeah the slicing is a little messed up
Look in game clips bro, swords don’t cut at all
Try lower gore and blood
Regardless it just wasn’t fun after a while
👍
I hit a guy 6-7 times in the same spot and it didn’t even bruise him
They do just with a lot of force, I think it needs to be fixed
thats fair thats when you get a new killer and learn them lol
That's the main problem I see with multiplayer, if it's too emphasized and meta'd out it might just stop being fun like Chivalry, Mordhau and For Honour
Thats when I put the game down lmao
If there’s not enough force in that clip, I must be insane
yeah its a little whack that you have to choose between a sharp weapon or accuracy
Literally !! Fuck min maxing !!
Helldivers did good when they just said “fuck it” and buffed everything at once
Oh I see, maybe too much speed? Idk it's broken
or just get a new killer and learn to get good ngl but i do see why i got like 400 hours on it and im taking a break rn lol
it should be sharp weapon vs fast movement small weapon vs slow high damage weapon
Tbf you were mostly hitting with the flat against a gambeson 
Thank you bro it’s not only me
i think
I agree, buffing is always better than nerfing because nerfing just makes things less fun and nobody likes that 💔
Yes I think, think with the speed he was slicing it was bending the wrists and slapping with the flat of the blade maybe
But out of all of those swings,,,, you’re telling me not one of them penetrated
Well hey, the last one seemed to slice his neck, it should have lobbed his head off tho
does ultmate challenge feel bad for other people? Like the rest of the game feels fine but in ult my willie cant walk.
also, i think the shield being the size of a fuckin teacup plate is silly
Yes
Whats your deal? I just didn’t find the game fun after playing it, and I gave a fair chunk of the killers a try. Nothing you say is gonna change that, I dunno why you’re looking for a way to invalidate how I felt about it
bow and arrow when? 
i get that it shouldnt be massive, but the shield is like a toddler toy... kinda goofy hahah
which shield ya talking about though
Thats called a buckler 
Its a parry shield tho it's historically accurate its meant to slap a blade away
Buckler, if I were to bet
tbf ive only seen the smaller one as of yet, ive played a couple matches and been watching some videos. if there is another one sorry for my mistake but either way its tinyyyy
Out of bounds? I think not
I wonder if that will happen
I like the one that’s a size above a buckler, but only really covers the forearm. It’s very punchy :)
mannnn, more like a saucer
i hope so it'd make the game alot more fun imo
There are more at tiers 4-9 I believe.
Yes
You hold it out in front of you like this with double click and then you have alot more blocking area 
hey man if you got them may I have it
wait what is this double click buckler tech you speak of?
Also, like I said it's historically meant to parry blades
Check your DM bro, it'll be just a sec tho I'm lwk on the can
this is incorrect
i was gonna say bow and arrow but that would be so unbalanced just because you would either have to raise the move speed of the bow player by alot somehow or raise the draw back speed of the bow and it will look unrealistic both ways, a bow in close quarter combat is like a butter knife to a glock
i put another clip displaying how inaccurate the sharpness of each blade is, his axe literally TOUCHED my knee. watch it in slo mo
Elaborate please?
doulbe click with a buckler and its held out in front and you can manuever it with swings
enough complaining though the games fun just irritating
Actually as an archer you can draw pretty darn quick if you want, even 100 pound warbows
I've done archery competitively for 10 years
bow and arrow would be fun if they add more to this game then just the gauntlet and free mode
Can't I just do that by holding down RMB though?
trueee but an accurate fast shot wont be that possible irl against a moving target with a medieval weapon unless you are a goblin of nature
Just holding doesnt get the buckler out quite as far and it is controlled differently
The game tekken 8 has just recently released a patch where every single character was buffed now the game is awful, there is no counter play once a character attacks you and the game is over after a one or two combos because everyones damage is now too high
False, its very possible, ive done it
LMAOOO
If everything is too strong the game systems fall apart
Anybody like the fact that i LEFT the ring just to hammer time him?
bro said i took out a toddler in my back yard wielding a fudge popsicle and a floaty around his arms
I've been an archer for 10 years right, medieval archers practice their whole life yk, soldier stuff, so if I can do it so can they
I guess so, you do have a point there. Buffing everything too much could lead to a volitile game environment without restriction, so I agree, I was mistaken with my statement earlier. Though this is only one example. I still stand by what I said earlier, though a bit more generally. In single player games especially, but in multiplayer games too. If I were to bring up a counter-example, I'd probably name rainbow six-seige which went from a high-octane tactical shooter to a slow, unfun, campy slugfest due to numerous nerfs over the years and few to no buffs. Though I do see your point.
they need to add cock's. im tryna hold someone down with my buddy in pvp and chop it off fr
archer would probably be so bad in game but it'd still be fun trying to just snipe someone in their face when they're running towards you with a knife
yes
You can do that in Blade and sorcery it's funny as hell
They just fall face first
I agree it that typically buffs are more fun than nerfs but if something is clearly broken breaking everything else to the same level ruins the game.
👍
how come the keybind for slow mo is called arrow time? are they adding bows?
I assume because it's a funny era appropriate pun for bullet time.
AY, GIMME MY NAME BACK
I have a YouTube channel rec that covers that exact scenario
the blood spatter coming off your weapon is one of the coolest little graphical effects
yea, but we got 10 year archers in the discord that sling people back to back irl with bows, so i guess we're wrong
it is not your name, (l)oaf
we are the bread hivemind
bro no way
i literally had the best weapon in the game
and i was on the baron
and my game crashed
You Crumb!
Dude the final challenge crashes non goddamn stop
I'm on like my sixth go in a row that failed because of a fatal error
it literally just happened to me
Is that the real final challenge
im gonna start tapping G with every swing
Good luck finishing this
the baker favors me more you crumbly crust, do not speak to me that way
I
I shot moving targets not people you dummy 😭
And yes I've been doing archery competitively for 10+ years
My first comp was in 2014 I won 3rd
I do barebow recurve
The best ive done was in 2020, I won 1st in a Texas state comp
And an archers duel, super close one i lost by one point
Scores were around, 10, 9, 10x, 9, 8
cool scores, do you have the lopsided bone density of an english longbowman yet?
No i don't shoot 100 pound warbows
Yet
i just love when my game crashes out of nowhere, just fatal error time to close for no reason
the masculine urge to attain the ability to draw and loose a 180ib longbow
Mine keeps giving me a popup saying it crashed or fatal error, but I realised if I just click the screen outside of the error it doesn't close the game and I can still play
HE NEEDS SOME MILK
Real, I tried to pull back my mentors 150lb one and nearly dislocated my shoulder, ive been working out a ton since then and it's been 3 years tho so I might be able to
DAYMN
A whole ass backflip and landed directly on his neck
Bro got folded like a lawn chair
Are there any solutions to the Ultimate Challenge crash?
That was the best sucker punch i've seen in a while
turn off gore, lower blood, lower graphics
if you havent already it can help but enable xmp and cpu boost in bios settings, everyone should have that done automatically tbh otherwise you are using less of your pc then what you were advertised while buying
Anyone know how Good Malware went about making the bomb ass music? I don't want to @ him so I was just curious if any of you knew if he uses a software, actual instruments, a mix of the two, etc
tiny baron
skill issue
Damn this was messy
are limbs coming off easier now? i feel like im getting dismembered more than usual
might just be a skill issue
Remember lads the best way to deal with a mans longer shaft is to control it ❤️
tiny willie whipping some ass
gang could someone send me their save file up to baron tier? i haven't booted up the game since the new updates and i've been on an old save (or was on an old save) and i've just lost all of my progress up to baron tier :/
i am going to cease existence with this blunder
5 minute fight
I like havin long fistfights ngl
i beg of thee 
hey can is there a fix to the fatal error bug yet??
we bonked each other
The true final boss
ow
fellas I need nose pics of Willie, pronto
https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1361486193476370562
So do you guys usually finish off your enemies after the fight?
I mercy kill the willies that seem like their wounds will kill them slowly, but if they can speak i usually let them live (unless they had a spikey stick, then i beat them with joy)
If they speak they die; if they don't they live
But then they're dead
If you kill them they die?
the plancon is the bane of my existence, they do not get a mercy kill, they shall slowly perish, everyone else gets a mercy kill though, this is the 15th century we are talking about here, wound infections will get them eventually :)
Damn embed fail
Is the plancon the spikey stick?
Mercy killing is wild
Cause then i can recommend collapsing their chest cavity with a war hammer
i assume you mean the one with like, LOTS of spikes on it
the many spikey stick is the plancon
depends on how the fight went. if they give up for no reason ill kill them, if they annoy me ill kill them, and if i had a 5 star match that rivaled the likes of joe frazier vs muhammad ali 1 ill spare them out of sheer respect
yes many spikes hedgehog stick
We've been stuck punching each other for 10 minutes.
He won't let go.
Pain.
Yeah if they knock me down 4 times or smth i might give them a bonk on the noggin as a thank you
perform takedown
crouch + spin my beloved
I've tried 😭
headbutt
I tried 😭
judo
kicks?
He keeps spinning me around
like... a lot of kicks i mean
I tried
The entire time
Eventually? 😭
just suplex him bro
I'm just going to hold G
Willie grip must be increased ong
@fallow valley would you perchance be able to send me your save file?
but that would mean falling on the floor more...
grappling would be a lot better imo if you could actually somewhat lift willie when you grab onto good joints, like if you grab them on the hips it should be easier to toss them around atleast a bit
I lost all my progress as my most recent save was pre-update :(
suplexingbabies is a master grappler name
I am in that much of a dire need for a save file that I opened a mod ticket :/
willies are bald so they classify as babies
true they also cry alot
indeed
AIIIIIIII
the lanterns in abyss arent that bad at bludgeoning willies
Nah they'll work for the first few
Oh I'm grabbin his hips alright
yeah the spikey stick boss absolutely destroyed me
Plancon victim awareness month is a must have
"Let not thy hand be heavy upon me 🥺"
My favourite quote to pull when I show up to reenactment training
Followed with "I FEEL QUITE HUNGRY"
Should've known since he was always up to no good in spongebob
LMAO
What kinda reenacting do you do?
(I know nothing about it)
Like some medieval stuff?
13th century, specifically the battle of Evesham (we do a big event every August, had 50000 spectators over the course of the event last year)
i like to reenact my dad still being around
Big battle with 700 reenactors there too
but im right here, son
You got trebuches n shit?
I also have a new full face helmet that is yet to see proper combat, as well as a chunky 2 hander
Noice
We actually did have a trebuchet display on, sadly we could not use them in battle due to health and safety concerns
did you get the milk? my cereal is going bad 😭
aw shit i made him use his sword....
baron with sword is like an elden ring boss' second phase
Nope sorry i forgot, gimme a few more weeks
which buff does everyone use?
Stamina for post slow-mo recovery
I don't usually get that far...
I only do like half the time, normally barely make it past milita im getting better tho
The dead cow thing was maybe a bit too far...
are you new?
ish
havent really interacted with the community till recently but ive been playing awhile
dw youll get better over time
45hrs total between playtest and demo
Slo mo is goated btw
yeah im not tripping i used to be ass at examina and i managed to kill sir recently
Convinced it increases the strength of attacks
135 hours on playtest and 27 hours on demo
I have more hours than you and i am suck so you're good dawg
im pro
lvl 99 boss
I only got to the plankton (spike stick) guy
Ngl my first fight against him was so anticlimactic
I think theres some cross over from examina, I've also taken exactly one hema class, but I fenced for like 2 years in hs
he cut me in half
Plançon?
I got lucky and got the billhook so I just tapped him in the side of the head and he fell over and gave up immediately 💔
plancon works well on everyboss tbh
i still beat him
Of course it's the braindead stick, just swipe to the left or right and they're done
just i had to go tp depths
Out of pure principle I refuse to use the plancon
Yes i just hate it so i'm not gonna say it right
Ik bro its sop op
but when you use it
your a monster
I don't
That stick is cursed i shant touch
i think
Real. Thankfully the billhook is basically a hard counter to it, but if you don't like the billhook or plançon and want to have fun tough luck 😭
the punching feels wayyyyyyyyyyyyy wyawyawyawywaywayyay better then when the demo was first updated, im not talking about the playtest, what has changed over the demo
use great sword
its easier to hit shots
Now that's a good stick
placon the spikey stifck yeah?
it feels less like flailing and more like youre actually brawling
i give them a hug and cut them in half with the great sword
perhaps that was a skill issue but i am good at the game (i think)
I was using the billhook before its just to floppy now
but just never liked fists but now id run fists for hours
Yes plançon is the spikey stick eveyone hates
wish you can body slam
you can but its very very clunky
damn im using it rn
Really? I find it okay, but I hear halfswording works well if you'd like more control.
and hard to pull off and overall not sayisfying
its hard
Billhook / guisarme & bardiches are amazing if you half sword them and swing like hell
you can grapple someone to the ground tho and that looks decent
That's because it is xd
I like to try and make it look decent
I mean if I'm about to die imma do what I can
I really like the pitchfork ngl
I beat the Baron today
underrated
Hardest part of the game is looking cool while you win 🥀
He was easy
bro this gold man so strong i can back hand and get a 1 shot in
Also use X to switch grip, use the looseness of the polearms to your advantage to chain swings
About right
I do not think it's underrated, a lot of people here(including me) abuse the shit out of it
Gotta try this
hes so crazy
the baron does not play with vagabonds
it was worth the grind to get him
Well, i underrated it cause it's a farming tool
insert bad to the bone riff here
LiveLeak
you could say willie canonically is a ruthless gladiator esque warrior who kills all of his enemies
only took a hour
Well said, I just tried it out one day to practice my stabbing and was not expecting it to kick ass
@past stream talking about body slams, lets say you walked up to your closest person, could you lift them up and slam them onto the ground
no you couldn't, halfsword is realistic physics based
Im trying to find a screenshot by looking up today in my pc and I can hear the rats in there trying to find it
i act can
It's the only way i beat ovrdth so far
ok send us a video
hey yall do you know why Half Sword would have weird bright sparkles on the screen?
Yeah bro its the most important part, if I win but it looks like shit im not happy
Ovrdth?
its really easy to pick up and slam
Overdeath the commoner boss. He has the black gambeson in his videos
He's a youtube man
okay
grab your phone go up to a person then bodyslam them
cant pick up the really big people 😢
could you plick up somebody your same size, lift them up in the air then slam them onto the ground likea beast
You mean the commoner grete champion with the scythe? I'm not really active on the youtube side of Hlafsword, so I'm not familiar with these terms.
i mean yeah or someone a bit more yeah
no way
whilst they're slamming you in the face with their fists up?
They stopped trying to find it now that I mentioned them
I have a little issue
@past stream if you can geniunely do that and have before youre a natural talent for wrestling and should do it
im joining wrestilng next year
Where are the pictures in camera mode saved to help
You'll walk it off.
i hope
Isn't that the peasant champ? I think it's the next guy with the greatsword.
i hope i can im trying out soon
i love backhanding the enemy willie in fists
i been thinking about it
Anyways he is tough so i cheese him with pitchfork
its so funny
Yes, it's the tier 3 commoner boss with the greatsword. Ngl cheesing him with the pitchfork is so easy I need to force myself to use any other weapon 😭
if you can actually do that then certainly you will become a great wrestler in the future, thought you were ragebaiting tbh
i mean my health isn't the issue, i somehow bugged the game and i am omega. The issue is i cant stand
i hope so
willie when i land a shot to his liver that would decimate anybody in real life: 😃
willie when i tap him on the head with my backhand: 💀
Bro is appologizing like its going to help smh
Does anyone know how to get the playtest? Sorry im new here
think hes praying for ur soul brah u going to mahoraga or whatever the name is i dont even know the reference
its gone
only demo
Oh dang thanks!
the playtest has ended, the demo has been updated with a more complete gameplay loop, playtest integrated into demo
prty much the same thing
Sweet thanks guys
Does anyone wanna give me their save file perchance? I am still in dire need 🙏
does not work
now bro is jaking it, you cant see it but he is violently shaking his hand on his peener
ive seen so many people asking for savefiles, i have a zip file with savefiles going from beggar to baron, that way if you want to get ur progress bak but not win the gauntlet you can, im curious if i should upload it to reddit
im trying to get up and kill him but i cant
If it's new update save files please do, as the only one I've seen is a pre update one that does not save baron progress
once some guy said "ill do anything to get my baron back" then we gave him the reddit link to the complete savefile and he said "anything but reddit"
i dont think it is i beat teh gauntlet 2 weeks ago and saved it all
i can just beat the gauntlet again and do it i guess
It's just mildly annoying having to replace the save every time I die lol
you do understand you'll have to do it anyway right
also its more tedious to start from the beginning then to just replace it
dies
I wonder if it'll work with a knight save file and then beating that to get to baron tier
what dus lock-in strength do
It adjusts the strength of the lock on mechanic...

I still dont get it...
lock on.. whats that?
Whats the lock on mechanic of sword?
You know how your camera follows the willie a little bit during combat?
half sword*
guys what do you do after you get purple clothed guy
ye?
Real asf
That's what lock on is
It locks your camera onto the enemy
oh
Hence, lock-on
you fight the ultimate challenge?
guys when ever i die or do anything my game crash i uninsalled the game and installed it again but it didnt fix it do yall know what to do
playing the baron might be a bit more rewarding if people wouldn’t just install savefiles from others to avoid playing the game as much as fucking possible, cheaters dont deserve to play the baron but what can you do
this game has one of the worst lock on systems i swear like the moment before i swing it locks on to a dude a meter away and i get fucked
yo does anyone have a fix for this
Because this isn’t mortal combat
go onto dx11 and lower gore
is it the big arena where npcs spawn in or the abyss
ok i will try
big arena
get off epic graphics
lower graphic settings and if that doesnt work your pc simply isnt good enough to run the game and you cannot play half sword im afraid
wait, it says “out of vram” or something like that to do with virtual memory right
no the problom is when ever i die it crashs i know my pc is good enough
what happens if you complete it
or switch to diff mode it crashs
find out ❤️
does it say anything to do with vram or virtual memory
no it just says game crashed and then my pc freezes
check the minimum requirements for pc on steam and compare your computer parts on google or chatgpt
ok
who wins
5
9
1
spin no jutsu
is it possible to break willies arm without hitting it hard? like an armbar or something?
willie is the son of a miller hes not an mma fighter
yeah but how do i break it
hit it hard
with what
bro
LOL unfortunately if you ignore the crash the game will eventually crash without warning 😅
I just beat baron then it crashed and now im back as a beggar with no progress saved
I got baron now what
use him in free mode!
Yeh it was the gore I put it down it work but once I put it up it bugged out and crashed
this games crashes gotta get solved asap bro
you told me that you changed the gore but whatever
yo
turn down gore go to dx11 change graphics if no work ur pc not good enough and u cant play
thought id provide a sensible response rather then being a dick so I deleted my message
but we just talked about this cmon scroll up a bit
did you uninstall it
no
appreciate it but uncalled for
Right click on it browse local files then run versiontest54
ty
meh least you got help plus im a stranger so what does it matter
where do i browse local files
right click on it in the steam library then i think it’s properties?
nw just thought id help a few people before ending my day
i couldnt deal with the fucking shitted on one
worst april fools joke ffr
god i love you bro
the joke was the womans breastplate not the update
oh
what r ur damage settings
oof nvm then
the player damage setting is on play the game normally and the npc damage is play the game normally
Is that oliver from invincible? Man he really crashed out huh
dude most of my deaths are literally just from bullshit bugs
just now my right arm glitched behind my back which stopped me from carrying ANY WEAPON
so willie was just walking around with a broken arm
the more i play the more i hate this game 💔
You can probably fix that by picking a weapon with your other hand, pressing X to switch hands and half swording the weapon
Wdym nothing worked, how many things did you take time to test out during a fight??
spinning around, spamming e
Anyway, you could try sheathing a weapon and un sheathing it with the broken arm
So you tried nothing?
My character can't pick up a sword off the ground if i crouch and press E, i doubt it'd fix a glitched arm
Same with spinning- unless you have enough sens to literally start flying it's not gonna do anything at all for the bug you had
dude its already over with i cant do anything about it now
theres no point in trying to fix it now
Yeah but its a pretty common bug, might aswell think of solutions now so you're not screwed next time
are you thinking that the arm wasn't like, grabbing it anything? because to be sure, the arm was LITERALLY stuck in my back. Like I mean just INSIDE my body
I know exactly which bug you're referring to, i know what it looks like and it has happened to me once or twice
I usually fix it by ramming into a fence arm first, although that also breaks your shoulder
It's still better than having your off hand get caught on it though
i cant even load up my game to the menu before crashing can anyone help me out???
Is there a save that has the baron unlocked that I can download?
Trying to unlock it legit is too rng based and frustrating
aaannnd i just got a fatal error destroying all my abyss progress
fuck this game dude
One message removed from a suspended account.
One of the reasons I’m not wanting to unlock the baron legit
WHAT'S EVEN FATAL ABOUT IT? THE GAME PLAYS PERFECTLY FINE
One message removed from a suspended account.
Low ram, the game explodes the nano second it hits the cap. I had to make it to baron without ever dying
Open the little gear on the game page and look for the game startup thingy, its a large gray rectangle you can type into.
Type -dx11 into it
Damn, i have no idea then. I thought it was low ram for me but i guess not
I play with 8 on integrated graphics lol
this did not work
Hello!!1 I have many questions.
Is there a way to have the breaking of bodily components on but gore lowered, and does anyone have tips for the campaign>?
This isn't my type of game but my brother wanted me to play it,, but I don't really understand
What if the baron was a streamer?
"5 Gifted and I kill the commoner."
Did the last update crank up the settings on gore or something?
how do u break arm
i didn't BREAK BREAK it like breaking the bone, it just glitched. I was using the spike stick and pressed x which completely fucked everything
Good midnight!! I don't know about that specifically but if you turn all gore off or load with that feather image, I think bruising does an equivalent amount of damage. As for the gauntlet run, pummel now, stab later, and happy hunting! 
I hath been summoned
What is thy bid my lord
easiest way to break bones?
Dont hit the joints limb dead center
oof
Oof indeed
Also thx!
Rip and tear with thy fists, so all may know thy name.
Don't wanna spoil it for our new friends in chat so I'll speak lightly, but I hope they add a proper ending after big man
is it possible to break neck with a punch?
If you hit them right, a single swing can break their everything.
whjat
Yeah but it's not worth it at all lol
If you hit them in the right way, they pop like a grape. Willy’s head is very squishy on its own.
evening o/
Lowk, the mace might be the best weapon type in the whole game imo
R.I.P Kneecaps
Bro picked up a game about medieval weapon play, and said “Nah. WWE.”
How do u do this...
i just grbbed his legs
thanks @serene tulip
Behold the best weapon in the game:
WHAT THE HELL
I kno this sounds dumb, but how do u do that...
Glad you're flipping Willies. I am torn between practicing Willie flipping tonight or going ahead and playing some Holdfast
crouch and press e and q
E= right Q = left
i gave up on trying to lift him
wrong vid
ill try send vid of me slowly grabbing legs
Is there a way to turn down the voices? I don't like the dudes screams,, i kinda feel bad
dont, good ol willie gets payed to get bashed plus he comes back
atleast i hope he gets payed
who is willie?
the guy who is screaming
willie is the community name for the opponent
guys whats the most effective way to break the enemies knees
mace or kicking
@glad ore iss that the old version when grappling was fkd
I had to turn off blood and gore entirely just for it to work
Even then, FUCK UNREAL 5
ill give it a try
dies
Heres a cute moment with me and willie
just looking at that makes me scared
how did u lift him that high?
my game crashed right when i was at the gold knight
friens <3
it worked i got baron lets goooo
Oh that was just bashing someone against it repeatedly is all.
Meanwhile, this Willie wouldn't do what I wanted him to, so I might've lost it just an eensy teensy weensy little bit and got angry with him
will willie ever get a detailed penis
Do not the willie
ykw this server has been very useful but i think ive asked all the questions i needed, good bye!! /jk
no.. willie.. GETS.. A DING A LINGGGG!!
hair trimming and circumsision added to the game when?
uhhh, send them to the centrifuge. Idk I just grab them by the hips and try and figure it out from there lol
Yeah, unfortunately that’s the only way to reliably play baron since the game is buggier than cyberpunk on launch. Like I get it’s still in a demo state but fuuuuck dude.
sex update when?
also someone changed the slowmode time and im really happy
it'd be nice if we can have facial hair.
and a penis
damnit my first punch was too hard, now my willie has gone limp and there's no point to try and flip him
bro i lost all my progress when i was at the end cuz my head got chopped off by the plate of metal man then i quit in the abyss cuz someone cut my foot off
different kind of swordfighting. i mean.. willie is his name. he should get a willy right?
the last boss thingy
how do you finish an atk?? what key do i have to press lol i cant finish any swing
u swing ur mouse
ooo
FINALLY flipped my willie to a state of unconciousness
i didnt know throwing would do dmg lol
i never really thought of it
maybe i'm bad but i find it really hard
I can already see people doing the old penis-centrifuge-spin hold
@serene tulip i didnt even push into it that hard and it did that
Oh yeah throwing does a lot of damage
also how do i grab stuff from my invisible hold thingy
my arm just clips right through it
my cousin is sending me his pc soon so I can FINALLY play halfsword again after all this time
Swings mouse into a wall by the cord
bro what did u do to throw him up like that
Hold E / Q, or press R and left or right click depending on what hand you want.
it's really hard to throw shit but landing them feels so good lol
👍
I got pissed at the game for sending the bitch stick enemies at me, so I chucked my longsword out of anger. It fucking decapped him.
oh shit i have to use free play cuz my progress is still lost to last boss thingy to beggar
Definitionally, that's a missile fired in anger
bro's machinegunning lmfao
oooooooooooooooooh
haah
ratatatata
thought r was like a beta revolver thingy
The old demo told you this but not this one LMAO
that is unfortunate, but such is the way of the willie flip
do u use one hand for the willie flip
Also gotta work on those punches
if his willy gets physics like if he runs and its going everywhere i would pay 1 million when this game cums out. also if he gets hit or knocked out [same with the nemies] a little bit of cream comes out, and if hes wearing clothes the clothes is stained a bit. actually no how about he pisses himself?
I'm about to start trying because sometimes willie doesn't let go with both hands when I need him to
yeah i only did that coz i wanted him on the ground lol but i can punch pretty good
I like to play with my willie for a bit first before he goes limp
imma confront chat gpt for saying that i use my arms by turning on combat mode
This better?
Ayy no cap—you right to call that out 💯. That’s on me.
I should’ve told you about the R key from the jump. That’s the actual grab button in Half Sword, not just mouse clicking like in other physics games. The combat mode and scroll stuff still matters, but R is the magic sauce for gripping things proper.
🛠️ Correct Way (Confirmed by Discord Homies):
Hold Shift to enter Combat Stance
Use mouse to aim your hand
Scroll wheel to move hand closer/farther
Hold R to grab and grip with that hand
→ That’s how you actually grab swords, helmets, people—everything
I ain’t mean to mislead you, bro. I appreciate you fact-checking me and sticking through it. You’re a real one for that 🙏
Now that you got it working—you wanna learn how to throw, disarm, or one-arm parry next? You basically unlocked the rest of the game now 😤
-chat gpt
how
?
(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
What did I just read
i cant lift him up
easier when they are ragdolled
Have you ever tried alt-punching? Sometimes I throw a few but they swing upward
The fuck? I never heard shit about scroll wheel
yeah but its like weird
i'm getting better at this
i dont think it does anything lol
I think chat gpt is flat out lying to you
ye lol
i cant rlly throw ppl i just kinda plop their heads on the floor

how did u make ur windows water mark so small
its just small when its recorded for some reason
thats what she said'
work of art
kill at 0:38 seconds is crazy
cant touch this
feels bad man
i usually use the candle stick in the abyss for low levels
When you get to the Baron are you just playing free mode with the lower levels?
the get stronjger
did you beat ultimate challenge?
Yes.
Ok ive like figured out how to parry, but I can't figure out a smooth slicing motion or a riposte
The movement is so weird
But real tho
My main question is if like
If I die and do i get sent to the abyss do I lose the baron class?
theres a sword in my leg
why are the in game photos so small when i post them to discord
🚫 gabrepap, that command is disabled in this channel.
Its so satisfying when you cleanly slice a head in half
willie told me to put in /rank lol
Funky Town Ahh
uhhh guys i dont think this is the ultimate challenge
bro when did they add kung fu
Imma need the best halfsword player to come out and show me a mouse cam
i gotchu
i pulled it out somehow
Just a flesh wound
how do i kung fu
hold e/q
you cant prove it
they added wing chun too
it only works with e for somereason
bro im using the longest sword in the game with one hand cuz my over is cut
like a lil paper cut
@pearl zinc
holy fuc
I'm coming back into this chat for the sole reason that abyss is still bugged
headbut aftermath
@pearl zinc
praying that the devs are at least aware of the fatal errors in both final challenge and abyss
e
They are I think. They released a recent update turning to fix it but it’s still a thing
Kick is buffed all long cos of foward movement 
i know this isnt a big deal to most but i beat the whole gauntlet for the first time and this dude is so sick
Hello, I need help because I'm trying to play the official Half Sword on Steam. When I start the game, the screen appears where I select the amount of violence, such as grotesque, etc. I click on the option I want and for some reason it doesn't work. I click again and it doesn't work. Nothing happens. I can keep clicking there and nothing happens. What should I do? I really need help.
add "-dx11" into the games launch options on steam
make sure its not on some external hard drive
i kinda wish the devs let the dead bodies stay like in the demo during the abyss with an option
because my computer can handle it
Is there any rhyme or reason to AI difficulty or is it all rng?
same as being able to pick shields or weapons off of holsters like in the demo
rng i think
@opaque creek i found nothing bro
and whats good with the commoner boss and why is he seemingly harder than any of the other ones? Is it because hes modeled after that dude on yt?
Report it to devs with your specs cause this is a new issue
Have the most difficulty with him out of all of them lol
Gentlemen, I must say, the big candelabra is peak weapon evolution
It's so insanely reliable I'm willing in 90% of abyss runs to use it as a main weapon instead of opting for slashing/chopping weapons
bonking weapons are the meta
It can parry hits, zone assailants, knock opponents down, and works at basically all ranges against most matchups
It's the pinnacle of weaponry the Abyss has to offer.
Not even the plaçon stands a chance against a good Candelabra user.
thats the thing you dont have to be good with plancon
Because while the plaçon does in fact have a "nono" area of denial, the candelabra can intercept the head and counterattack with the pointy end.
yeah, but it's on the same end as the other spikes
I know from experience of dying from it
candelabra has 2 attacking ends
the handle part is for if you're still alive in a clinch
nuh uh
who are u going to outrange with the handle spike
not abount outranging, you don't need to
the wide head catches attacks super easy, specially polearms
if you manage to force the plaçon's spikes to the floor, you can do a stab with the other end of the candelabra
I agree that the handle spike doesn't have good range, but since you can pull a polearm user to knife range, it doesn't matter
It's possible, I still think it's an uphill battle for the candle user
and that in pvp plancon is quintessential braindead oongaboonga weapon
click h bro
This is more or less what I'm trying to say.
Granted, this is midway through the weapon, and it's not a plaçon, but it was still very achievable to pull off at a moment's notice.
js stabbed someone thru the mouth n first person that shit is nasty u can see their teeth n shit
at long last
the baron
i did it almost completely legitimately, but ended up changing the damage sliders at the second to last wave because i'd spent like an hour, my right arm got killed, and i was so close to the end that i just wanted to be done
why do i peform so much better on dx11?? im running 25-30 fps on medium settings 720p on dx12 yet on dx11 im running 120-130 fps stable on 1080p medium settings
i fr thought my pc was so crap it couldnt handle halfsword anymore but the second i switch to dx11 it makes the game playable asl
whats a good setting for really bloody and long fight? (npc and player dmg)
why do enemies damage themselves by backing up into the wall if i hold alt lol
How are you supposed to beat the ultimate challenge without fucking with the damage sliders?
I can usually get past the first round unless it's pitchforks, but after that I usually am going against swords with a knife.
Spears are just an instant restart, I am incapable of approaching in a way that does not result in being impaled and they recover from missed strikes too fast to reach.
eee
yo weird idea, but we have an insult button, could we ever get a comliment button? like if im getting my ass kicked can I say some shit like "well fought, noble"
Why would you want to?
idk man, samurai honor type vibe lmao
Y'know what? That's real
ikrrr
whats the key
if you click g instead of holding it ur guy says old-timey banter
double slice
so what if you could click like U and ur like "game recognises game
my favorite is when he calls the other willie a cuckold
figgle-de-gibbit will always hold a spot in my heart
whats the bitch one
Hiw do people get the arena without the boundaries?
its only during the baron fight, i think?
Oh ok
u dosnt do anything
exactly, im saying what if
click g
the npcs keep calling me a bitch:(
very sad
it only works when i win
if you quickly tap it once you should yell a random voiceline at him
at least thats how it works for me
yea same
thats if you hold it
nvm
My favourite way to win duels is to headbutt crash the other willie and gamble who gets knocked out
gotta try that lol
the game is not working
bro im in the abyss cuz i won then died due to a sword being stuck to my chest ish and then it just randomly sliced me in half
Did you have gore on full?
my torso is on the ground but i still have my torso
cant send pic
ay guys
go to the lobby mabob and use an auto clicker to skin willie
to the bones
i did it up to the legs and im to unpatient to do it more cuz hes gon die
dont have enough levels to send and image
How to beat final gauntlet? Even with armor I keep getting pushed over by shields due to the ludicrous stun from the slightest movement.
I am also constantly getting a fatal error in the final gauntlet and it's pissing me off
DAMN
farthest ive ever gottenb on uc and my fucking game crashed
Bro got spun
I'm still trying to figure out rotation
Judo throw
I'm still new to pc so I'm not coordinated enough for that, and I never learned how to type
Did all the old music, like the old badass scythe guy theme get removed?
I wish they added a sandbox mode, where you can pick your weapon and armor, and the enemy
Any weapon too, like the scythe, or the massive sword the baron uses
Woah i never realized you could do that, I usually slap it to the side and thrust
yeah its hard to do, usually this would result in me getting my arms fucked up, or id accidentally drive it into my own face.
I was fully expecting it to stab me in the face when I was trying to let it fall out of my arms too
hope bs like this can get fixed eventually 🥀
Very risky, but very cool
what do yall do after a spider manages to escape you further into your space. I was just about to sleep too ugh
Kill
I think that's kinda, a skill issue
i got a perfect arm cut then got touched by the goddamn scythe's stick, not even the blade
It set up multiple escape routes with webs and everything, he was smart
If you watch it back, you got grazed
im not playing on one hit mode how can a graze do this to me 😢
True, I think the force needs to be fixed, also I can get my arm cut off and be fine, but I stabbed bros big toe, and he died instantly
Wait a minute, he stabbed your foot, feet seem to be a weak point
Cause after that you died quite quickly
Whatever do you mean?
The boss obviously reaped your soul.
moving to the right after hitting the strike successfully cost you your femoral artery when he dropped the scythe.
if you had stayed to the left, you wouldve pushed up against the handle and the blade wouldnt find its way there.
femoral artery...
so all of the stuff happening to me isnt bugged one taps but is instead realism?
Actually he's right it sliced the back of your knee
sometimes.
What was the issue here exactly?
hey so I'm new here but at this point is cinematic supposed to be run with an upscaler? because on native 7900xtx which is a pretty high end card it's a slideshow
dont run cinematic.
theres very little visual difference
its for screenshots
I see
Everyone remember, whenever we make Willie scream, we’re also making this man scream. 😈
Well I run high anyways but was just wondering
more people should have blood on full, I love enemies which double as blood-filled balloons
Oh damn 😈
well that leaves my only complaint being the usual
fall over = fight over, because we just can't get up when we are getting slightly touched by a paddle can we 🥹
i won the fight, then it looks like somehow blade killed me quickly as if he stabbed me in the face or something and you can see it didnt, but im no biology nerd so i dont know how much of it is a bug and how muc his too much realism
Skill issue
epic is the max playable setting, you get more detailed and accurate shadows+reflections.
run the 1s
This may sound like trolling, but if you want to get up faster, drop the weapon
Edit: Also, sometimes, holding S kind of helps Willie stand faster (I need peer review on this one)
basically a feature or armored combat
Looks to me like the blade of his scythe ran across the back of your leg and sliced your tendons
Bruh multiplayer isn't a thing yet but if it was I would
willie goes agressive with a half-sworded polearm or small sword, it magically teleports inside you or has the power of christ to knock you down easily
yeah after a second look it's just realism 😂
I don't think it's even about that but if we even get slitghtly scratched by an enemy the whole getting up procces goes to shit
i think real life is just a buggy video game chat 🥱
holding ctrl can also potentially help you get up, since you'll try to get into a crouched position rather than standing up fully.
good tip
Have you ever dropped a cup and it just spun forever
Real
Except epic is unstable…
He said playable not stable
hope we get advanced settings instead of just presets
early access will have advanced settings
The moment I'm assailed by 3 or more armed Willies my fps drop to 30
Got a 3070 in my old rig. Pay me 5k and it’s all yours!
This is good to hear as long as I can mess with graphics settings
Prebuild company's be like
The fix you sent earlier helps a good bit am able to run on high graphics now
Woah wait could you share?
Kepontrucken had something he typed out lemme find it
Custom prebuilts are actually prettty nice
Need Willie with dynamic body rather than just dynamic hands. I wanna do backflips and shit
Ah, I have a question.
Whatever happened to being able to rip the intestines from the Willies?
Is there a way to restart once completed?
Yeah they are, I have one but it was $900 for a 1050ti and a ryzen 3 41000, overpriced, then again I heard white cases and rgb fans were expensive
Meta PCs would be so fucking good if they didn’t charge SOOOO much for service fees. But at the end of the day if you can comfortably afford a bad ass rig then that fee means nothing…
But those guys have EVERYTHING. It’s sick
wrong thing
I remember stratching someone in the early demo and their intestines fall out
White and rgb makes price go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yeahh
I have an unc who did tax sheninegans from a PC firm he knows and I got a 20% off
On a custom prebuilt
the gore system was completely changed and the old guts were incompatible.
they'll return at a later date during early access
@humble bloom could u repost the fix u sent for the system settings was tryna link someone to the message u sent it just bugs out for my end
ooo, nice
Yeah I saw those but they're not the best for fps/per dollar more aesthethic
Do you have any ultimate challenge tips like how the fuck you fight 2 plancons with a short sword
@humble bloom
thank u captain
Tyvm
that fix should be pinned tbh it helps a lot
Ty
like i havent had any crashes that bad other than when im using armored knights the gloves everytime they hit something too hard crash but ik its been an issue for a min
I had a shit ton of crashes in the baron mode
comboing in fist play is so cool
if you can fight one of them at a time, you can pull a variation of this move.
if you manage to avoid hooking your weapons you can do some stabby stabby.
I'm sorry but fist play sounds so dirty
Short sword as in one hand sword
I hate how laggy the recordings come out on the demo. 😭. Cant seem to get my settings right to fix this issue
that is a one handed sword
yeah i havent tried fixing it
No image perms
Oh im a fucking idiot, I still cant tell what you did in the video tho
in the half sword position, you can block overhead swings, or redirect stabs by hooking the blade between the spikes.
its risky, but its doable
let me try to slow down the video and zoom in
Howd you learn allat anyway
