[calm coyote]

[upper dust]

I love hitting a haymaker so well that I just hear the crack except I can only do it in full armor against a peasent in fist play 😔

[calm coyote]

[cunning tinsel]

[calm coyote]

body blows don't do much to you

[fluid bloom]

Block low, real low

[marsh laurel]

[calm coyote]

[fluid bloom]

We need dick kick damage to be more devestating than a head punch ngl

[calm coyote]

head punches are crazy tho

[marsh laurel]

huhhh?

and how do i hit a uppercut

[calm coyote]

get in the guard

[upper dust]

pray 😭

[calm coyote]

and then flick camera up

you gotta go low

so only do it when you're not in extreme danger

[rustic dove]

I mean you never know the enemy Willie might be a eunuch 🉑

[calm coyote]

if you're staggered or you got hit pretty hard

he's prolly gonna get you while you uppercut

[fluid bloom]

Or a woman. But we should still have dick/ussy kick damage

[calm coyote]

also yall needa try the jabs

[marsh laurel]

i know how how to do it i jsut dont knwo how to hit it

he doesnt have a crooked back

[calm coyote]

get real close

realistically you gotta be in his face

[marsh laurel]

imma clip how i fight rq i suck

[calm coyote]

i would clip mine but ion got pic perms

[native oar]

oh my GOD balance is the worst fucking thing ever

its so fucking shit

[vagrant sonnet]

real

[calm coyote]

wait what's wrong

[native oar]

please tell me somebody else also gets royally pissed with how fast an enemy's AI will switch to "rush the player and immediately try to wrestle them to the ground"

[marsh laurel]

most of my fights end like this

[fluid bloom]

What's not wrong?

[cunning tinsel]

YES

[native oar]

thank you

[calm coyote]

oh hell no

[cunning tinsel]

you cant do anythinga bout it if they decide to push you over

[calm coyote]

average wrestler trying to spar in boxing

they grab my arm

just hold shift and move back

and keep hitting them like you ab to die

[native oar]

its like theres a fucking boolean where if the first swing they take doesnt kill you, they immediately switch to instructions that tell them to rush you and try to shove you over

[marsh laurel]

i cant stop kicking

[calm coyote]

get in dutch kickboxing stance bud

[marsh laurel]

wha is dutch kickboxing stance

[calm coyote]

guard all the way up

[mighty nexus]

Jump to original message

[marsh laurel]

dude the npcs suck so bad i had to check if i dont have player damage to lowest

[native oar]

yep i just had some dumbass rush at me, grab me by the arm and just keep running so i fell over

[calm coyote]

clinch

[native oar]

im honestly at wits end and about to just switch enemy damage to the lowest and player damage to highest lmfao

[cunning tinsel]

nah nah you got this

[calm coyote]

you should

You must fight like a deranged animal

[calm coyote]

they don't do enough damage

[cunning tinsel]

ive been at it from 10pm until now

[native oar]

the moment you said that, a guy's hatchet that he didnt even swing or move touched my arm and my arm fell off

[cunning tinsel]

and i died immediatly on my try too just remember neva give up

[calm coyote]

get off grotesque

[cunning tinsel]

you are the master of your willies destiny

[native oar]

i forgot, is grotesque the normal or extra gory one

because im on normal

[calm coyote]

the extra

oh you're on normal

how the fuck then...

[native oar]

yeah im only on normal and so much bullshit happens to me

weapons are too sharp

[calm coyote]

yall have egregious experiences with y'all's games

[native oar]

they just touch me without being swung and im getting dismembered

[calm coyote]

mine is completely perfect

[marsh laurel]

i always play on grotesque

[calm coyote]

well except for the fact that they knock me sometimes

[native oar]

a guy swung the militia-tier twohanded axe at me and my sword/helmet deflected it

except the axe went forward a little where it touched the back of my neck the slightest bit and i instantly died

[calm coyote]

that's the back of your neck

you're a vegetable now

congratulations

[cunning tinsel]

yeahhhh the baron is made of wet paper

well

[calm coyote]

no he's not

[cunning tinsel]

not the baron

[calm coyote]

i'm invincible in the armor

[cunning tinsel]

i mean baron tier willie sry

[calm coyote]

i mastered the poleaxe

it's so slow though so i have to set it up

but when it slightly touches their helmets i win

[native oar]

its just annoying how the ultimate challenge basically requires perfect RNG

[marsh laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/invulnerable-gif-22484955

[calm coyote]

i'm ngl you have to run and run far

[wind charm]

How the fuck are you losing in Baron tier, are you a stolen valour Baron

[cunning tinsel]

no i mean challenge tier

sry i havent slept

[marsh laurel]

kablow

[native oar]

oh yeah something to note

[native oar]

my PC fried on friday morning and ive been stuck on my laptop which can basically only run this game at low tier

and it seems there's a bug exclusive to this fuckass laptop

[cunning tinsel]

np

[native oar]

where whenever im running, theres a high chance ill just randomly stop

ill slow down or ill straight up stop

[zealous temple]

The devs should add morchlag

[calm coyote]

oh wow

[wind charm]

I put super glue on the floor

[calm coyote]

what point do you get to in ultimate challenge

[zealous temple]

Or whatever it's called when u hold ur sword upside down and use the hilt

[native oar]

it happens the most when im running to the center to grab my butchers knife at the start

[wind charm]

Mordhau gorp

[cunning tinsel]

IT WAS YOU

[calm coyote]

brotha get the pitchfork

[native oar]

i hate whichever fucking dev coded the enemy AI to just walk into you to push you over

[calm coyote]

run into them with pitchfork

[sleek mica]

If they add reverse gripping that'll be naturally available

[native oar]

nope, i only consider the run dead under two criterion

1.) do i get a twohanded weapon on the first enemy
2.) do i get a longsword or estoc from the second enemy

[cunning tinsel]

I had my back broken like i was fighting a fucking viltrumite earlier by a spear guy in a clinch

[zealous temple]

Noooo not reverse grip

[native oar]

if both are no, the run is dead and i restart

[marsh laurel]

i just ran straight into a spear

[wind charm]

Get him in congress

[sleek mica]

Half swording while in reverse grip

[zealous temple]

Yesss mordhau grippp yesss

[zealous temple]

Not reverse grippp

[calm coyote]

don't worry about which weapon you get

as long as you kill you'll get what you want

and you'll get to fight the baron

in no time

[zealous temple]

Reverse grip is holding the sword by the handle with the blade facing downwards and ur thumb at the pommel

[marsh laurel]

the great axe needs to be nerfed it just puts them in a coma

[sleek mica]

Yeah but wouldn't it cover the same purpose?

[frozen tide]

the best way to use any weapon

[zealous temple]

Mordhau is with two hands on blade with thumbs facing pommel and using the guard of the sword

[cunning tinsel]

yeah its awesome

[zealous temple]

I just got done watching this YouTuber explain in like a million shorts why reverse grip is useless 😭

[native oar]

yeah no im just over it until the game updates more

im tired of getting tapped by a shield and losing 75% to 100% of my stamina

[marsh laurel]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k86ctcVb1t-QuS9JN?invite=cr-MSw5Y0YsMjExMzkzMzkx

[native oar]

same with the shaft of polearms

[frozen tide]

no its actually really good

[native oar]

the game is just too bullshit to try ultimate challenge rn

[thorny perch]

the game is awesome

[spare drift]

why do spears feel so impossible to dodge

[frozen tide]

They’re the best weapon irl for a reason

Except for guns

[wind charm]

Stick

[zealous temple]

How?

[cunning tinsel]

i get what you mean but i too stubborn to give in yet

[frozen tide]

It look cool which means it’s effective

[zealous temple]

Ur wrists are gonna suffer, ur range is significantly de

Oh

Valid ig

[marsh laurel]

i just hit them with my great axe liek im playing goft and headbutt the spearman

i love plate

i just bruteforce everything

[zealous temple]

Are you sure?

[marsh laurel]

dude

make them let us get up

[zealous temple]

But its hard to get in stabby range when he has a street lamp that is evil

[marsh laurel]

are u playing plate or no plate

[dreamy sleet]

is it normal to always get owned by the first champion

[zealous temple]

Idk what that meanZ

No armor?

[cunning tinsel]

for the first while yes

[zealous temple]

U mean armor? If so than no armor

[marsh laurel]

idk then i always get murdered by pitchforks

[cunning tinsel]

Also anyone have any advice for ultimate challenge?

[zealous temple]

Settings, game tab, damage to player all the way down, damage to npc all the way up, pray

That's how I did it

[wind charm]

Hope this helped

[grim latch]

very impressive but what is that long ass sword

[cunning tinsel]

if push comes to shove i might

[wind charm]

Long sword

[marsh laurel]

i need some answer here

[cunning tinsel]

i love this creature

[zealous temple]

Are the devs adding this or must we trust the modders

[gentle cipher]

i beat him up and he ran away like a fool

[fluid bloom]

They haven't hinted they want to be truly realistic to medieval armours adn give us this piece, but they have a track record of WANTING to be truly realistic to teh armours

[marsh laurel]

i suck at abyss

im a 1 fight person

[cunning tinsel]

why do ultimate challenge enemies have bone breaking kicks 😭

[fluid bloom]

aWhy don't we have bonebreaking kicks by default

[marsh laurel]

first person i lost

[thorny perch]

we have cod pieces, theyre just not exagerated as much

that example is out of date btw

[fluid bloom]

Naaaaah I just have big willie trust

[marsh laurel]

[cunning tinsel]

[fluid bloom]

[loud river]

Cod pieces like that are out of the time range of 1450-1475

[fluid bloom]

I found that one by googling 15 century codpiece so yeah. Stillm I'm mostly memeing

I do unabashadly want a codpiece big enough on my place that it could bump or deflect a sword though. For the funny

[loud river]

Would be hilarious, I hope modders lock in

[cunning tinsel]

i think thats enough challenge attempts for today

[waxen lance]

https://tenor.com/view/big-ramy-bodybuilder-gif-20388240

[waxen lance]

dude would bitch moan and complain abt spear ai like they dont just point it at you, run at you, and pray

[fluid bloom]

Unironically I need the beggar willie boss to look like this and just be fistfighting us

[deep shale]

on top of a moving wagon

[cunning tinsel]

baron should just have a gun

[waxen lance]

the last boss of the old abyss gamemode was a beggar willie with skin made of steel

atleast i think thats what he was supposed to be

I cut him in half with a billhook

[cunning tinsel]

he was fucked up and evil and scary

[deep shale]

a gun to miss completely with
lmafo yeah

[waxen lance]

its satisfying to hit the overhead

[fluid bloom]

I just got a fatal error in spoilance commoner tier

Wat

I just beat my willie with the gauntlets

[waxen lance]

motherfucker thinks he's him with his plancon

[fluid bloom]

Sometimes you just have to go

[waxen lance]

[marsh laurel]

[upper dust]

I was play fighting with Willie and he SLAMMED the back of his head on the ground

[rigid lodge]

Willie needs a nap to recover from his ouchies

[smoky rune]

And a lobotomy

[rigid lodge]

ANOTHER one? Poor Willie

[ashen badger]

would love to see them add a katana 🙏

[smoky rune]

A lobotomy with a halberd would HURT

[rigid lodge]

I have a hatched, take it or leave it

[thorny perch]

i think lobotomies woukd hurt generally

[smoky rune]

Not if they try hard enough

[thorny perch]

something going in your eye socket and then in your brain hurts dude!

i dunno if you knew that

[smoky rune]

Give the metal thing a little wiggle and they won’t feel a thing

[rigid lodge]

Not if you die first

[smoky rune]

Depends on how gentle they are

Holy crap I need sleep

[marsh laurel]

can i spawn a npc and make him ignore me

[smoky rune]

The hell was I on about

[marsh laurel]

so im liek a summoner

[upper dust]

[waxen lance]

[fluid bloom]

They were often done without anesthetic, in teh comfort of the surgeons office.

[patent blade]

YESSS

[patent blade]

wheres the partisan

and no naginata, or guandao

or ji

[waxen lance]

THATS JUST A FUCKING SPEAR

yo wait

imagine custom polearms in halfsword where you can decide length, and the tip of it

[thorny perch]

Spetum

[patent blade]

no, its fucking HOT

[waxen lance]

that shit gonna snap you use it like anything but a spear dawg

[patent blade]

you have an asegai and a boar spear, how dare you keep the partisan away

[patent blade]

REEEE

[waxen lance]

THAT IS A FUCKING SPEAR

NOT BUILT FOR COMBAT

GRRGRGRGR

[patent blade]

oh wait you have it OwO

amazing

i fucking love sword staffs

[patent blade]

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT

[tall dagger]

Absolute carnage. I am the ultimate warrior.

[waxen lance]

so the dude just doesnt exist anymore huh

[patent blade]

THE ARENA IS AWASH WITH THE SACRIFICES OF A THOUSAND WILLIES

[tall dagger]

There was nothing left of his to use.

[patent blade]

blood for the willie god

[whole sandal]

Average hamster death

[tall dagger]

Bruh 💀💀😭

[waxen lance]

dawg how much did he bleed lmfao

"bro knight fights are so hard blades dont do anything"
the modestly humble double blunt polearm;

[tall dagger]

Idk. I didn’t realize the blood could spray so violently.

[sleek valve]

did i just... take his helmet off?

[waxen lance]

yes

[sleek mica]

What's that really long spear before 1500

[waxen lance]

idk

[slender idol]

A Sarissa ?

[violet sleet]

will the devs add multiplayer to half sword?

[waxen lance]

why do ppl complain so much abt the scythe boss?

[sleek valve]

they used sickles in the fight instead of proper weapons

[waxen lance]

oh

buh

[sleek mica]

Doesn't look like it

[patent blade]

double shield shenanigans lmao

[patent blade]

BRO IS SPRAY PAINTING

[tall dagger]

😎

[fallen zealot]

What a shame

[winged anchor]

IS THE GAME FUCKING BUGGED

IM GETTING CUT IN HALF LIKE PLAYER DAMAGE IS ON 1000% IM GONNA TWEAK

[hallow musk]

how do i get the version of the game that isnt the beggar to lord?

[humble bloom]

Dismemberment is partially determined by the damage, but gore is the major influencer.

[winged anchor]

ive been playing on grotesque ever since blood and gore was reintroduced

lately though the enemies especially in baron mode are just ridiculously strong

[humble bloom]

In the menu, bottom right corner there is a free mode option.
Otherwise there's also an abyss button in the middle at the bottom.

[hallow musk]

thank you

[humble bloom]

Anyways. I wanted to share my reddit post.

I am the only one who is autistic enough to analyze the damage system of half sword without being a developer.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/s/2sJYMiPr4X

[winged anchor]

amazing

[humble bloom]

I hate reddits share feature

[granite kernel]

To be honest, the bosses that usually fucks me up is the Soldier and Commoner boss

[low dagger]

is there a strat to land overhead attacks?

or like stab with precision

also, im pretty new, is there like a trick to parrying or blocking because sometimes it feels like my only way to win is through attacking lol

like they just start going ham on me

[winged anchor]

its random asf

u can swing with some precision and stab with precision with alt

but overheads sometimes veer off the center line thats just the phsics ive noticed

swing slower helps

[hidden whale]

why all of a sudden in the ultimate challenge does every willie have the ability to knock me over with the slightest touch, it is pissing me off

they are all immoveable stone

[winged anchor]

feeling the same way

something changed bro XD

[hidden whale]

it feels like my willie is 3kg and the enemy willies are 120kg wtf

[waxen lance]

I stabbed a guy in the lung and i could audibly hear willie struggle to breathe so lungs might be implemented

[hidden whale]

knocking me right over

[waxen lance]

I knock all em over tf u talkin bout

[hidden whale]

in ultimate challenge every willie is immovable stone knocking me over with the slightest touch

[winged anchor]

in normal gauntlet its fine

ultimate challenge is weird rn

[hidden whale]

need more hooks

[waxen lance]

I personally miss the old abyss regen where you could become a literal friggin skeleton

[humble bloom]

That was likely just the injured coughing sound, I didn't record any sounds like that besides the gurgling ones.

[waxen lance]

Oh, interesting

[waxen lance]

Whats it like playing halfsword and hearing yourself scream in agony

[granite kernel]

I think i know why Ultimate challenge tends to cause fatal error

I believe it has something to do when they're defeated

Cuz when they die/surrendered, they tend to become a skeleton, same way as in Abyss

But

In Ultimate challenge, their polygons for some reason starts jittering around and sometimes even stretched

[hidden whale]

please add the 8ft tall baron as an option for each loadout, for now its kinda lack luster just being a tall gold knight. i want to be a huge peasant fighting small peasants and the other classes

[humble bloom]

I don't know.
I kinda hate the voice acting because I recorded new stuff awhile ago now.
I usually turn it off.

Before that, it wasn't as surreal as you'd expect from my perspective, I was always listening to my own stuff before when I'd do stuff on my own time anyway.

I kinda look at it like proofreading almost.

[waxen lance]

Interesting

[ember ingot]

i'll be honest your sound clips are the biggest motivation to kill injured willies

it turns on my predator senses

[humble bloom]

Right

[ember ingot]

this is a compliment by the way

[spare pier]

please i want to play halfsword not fatal error simulator

[humble bloom]

Too bad

We have enough fatal errors to feed you your entire life

[spare pier]

:(

[waxen lance]

your what

[spare pier]

i lightly tapped the enemy and i fall over 😭

[ember ingot]

the desire to cut off a chunk of willie head so their brain meat slowly drains out of their skull while i listen to them gurgle their last pathetic breath

halfsword is therapeutic

[spare pier]

sure is

[loud river]

that was not on my 2025 bingo card

[warped apex]

I may not be able to toss the buckler but I'll learn other weapon throws

[hallow musk]

skinned his hand

[warped apex]

It took off his hand lol apparently he just had a spare under it lol

[nova prism]

how can we play multiplayer ?

[warped apex]

By dreaming

[worldly crane]

whats the age rating for half sword?

[gilded breach]

Plz no multiplayer

I dont think there is an age rating yet? Will prolly be m tho

[worldly crane]

what do you think it would be?

[gilded breach]

Mature

Has to be with all the gore

[sleek mica]

Would it be prohibited for excessive gore in some countries?

[sleek mica]

Elaborate

[gilded breach]

Id rather have more resources allocated to making the single player experience richer, instead of getting some toxic ass multiplayer mode. Simple as

[sleek mica]

That's what the FAQ basically said yeah

[gilded breach]

Ye i just hope the trend will continue post release as well

[sleek mica]

Gotta get the actual gameplay first

[gilded breach]

Not every game needs multiplayer
Maybe co op could be nice tho

[sleek mica]

Melee slashers have been waiting for a game like this

Multiplayer would be a massive benefit

[iron shale]

THE POPE DIED

[gilded breach]

So ive heard

[sleek mica]

But the game first must work so patience is key

[gilded breach]

Naturally

[lusty osprey]

once uve hit ultimate challenge, if u die or are badly hurt do u get sent to the abyss/can u lose ur character

or is it permanently unlocked

[gilded breach]

Permanently unlocked

[hallow musk]

love getting one tapped by some bs during abyss gamemode. The third and fourth levels are the hardest bro, everything after that is smooth sailing

[gilded breach]

U are banned from abyss until uve beat baron

[river quartz]

honestly a 8ft tall peasant would be pretty sweet.

[brazen gale]

is there a tell for in what direction a willie would spawn in abyss

a lot of my deaths have been getting nudged by a candlestick out of the corner of my vision

[strange orchid]

hello

[gilded breach]

Not that i know of
Old version always had em coming from the front mostly

[brazen gale]

welcome to the party

learn the ways of killing willie and you might make it.

[strange orchid]

wsggg

How do i kick btw

[true rain]

yall the pope died

[hallow musk]

specr

space*

[strange orchid]

Oh wtf

Thanks

[hallow musk]

The third boss is the hardest in my oppinion, as the lack of any armour makes his sword a one tap and somehow he is immune to slashing attacks

[gilded breach]

The gambeson adds quite a bit of slashing resist
Going for a good stab can one shot him tho

[hallow musk]

stabbing in this game is damn near impossible

my guy so fuggin wiggly

[gilded breach]

In general i consider 3rd boss to be all about timing and gettin him to whiff

Than going in slo mo and stabbing

[strange orchid]

I hate the first boss cl

[hallow musk]

oh, i dont use slow mo

[strange orchid]

Or maybe im js bad

[gilded breach]

Nah it aint that bad just hold alt

[hallow musk]

you will hate the first three

[strange orchid]

I beat the second easily

[hallow musk]

then it gets easier bc of better weapons

[gilded breach]

Its effective as hell until they start wearing armor

[strange orchid]

I js got close to him and beat his ass

But like

[hallow musk]

then you half sword or use maces

[hallow musk]

[lone vigil]

is there any way to remove the abyss function from the gauntlet? I know you can quickly exit to the menu but it seems like you can be moved even in the menu?

[elder tendon]

yea i kinda wish it wasn't there too

i'd rather just restart from the beginning

[lone vigil]

oh deff

fighting without a surrender mechanic seems odd in such a realistic type game

[elder tendon]

you can surrender

[lone vigil]

in the abyss?

[elder tendon]

oh not in the abyss

maybe they could just add a toggle or something in the menu like with the training dummy and stuff

[lone vigil]

legit the npcs have a surrender in the abyss

[elder tendon]

lol yeah

i'm more salty about the commoner boss

[lone vigil]

i dont hate them but the height difference feels odd

theyre normal height in the abyss too??

tbh the abyss isnt bad either in the gauntlet

but im getting jumped immediately by 1-2 people on my 1st batch of loot

which doesnt work when im picking up the box instead of the weapon constantly rushing because i know im getting jumped

as apposed to only fighting after or before the loot areas

[brazen gale]

it is funny that making the enemy yield is a legit and very important tactic once everyone has armour

one simple trick, point a blade at willie's thrroat

[jolly gorge]

why is my pics small

[iron shale]

i was fighting in spoilance and the name Erich Klause just suddenly popped into my head, i googled it and i didnt find much. What the hell.

[quick lintel]

if is possible to change weapon after ive chosen a character?

[drowsy flint]

yeah win a round

[quick lintel]

alr ty

[marsh laurel]

i used to think its not and i fought wit ha damn sickle

i hate sickled

s

dude is fighting tyler durden

[waxen lance]

GUYS

CHAINMAIL BLANKET

BOTTOM TEXT

[fervent geyser]

I really wish my character would eventually stop crying about his severed arm and fight back with his other limb.

[marsh laurel]

for some reason i cant move up to milita

[marsh laurel]

frrr

[slender idol]

I need this

[waxen lance]

Ok but fr chainmail is super comfy

Unironically

[sleek mica]

Wouldn't this be terrible for prolonged skin contact

[slender idol]

that looks comfy as hell

[waxen lance]

Thats why you have a light blanket underneath

Knights didnt wear bare ass chainmail

[sleek mica]

But that's a blanket already?

[marsh laurel]

i cant get to miltiia im stuck on commoner

[sleek mica]

Unless it's basically paper thin

[jolly gorge]

[marsh laurel]

nvm it got fixed

[waxen lance]

Yeqh its part of the equasion

You have like a thinner blanket underneath so the chainmail dont touch bare skin

[brazen gale]

i hate commoner tier so much

[slender idol]

Commoner is prety nice with the big sword

[jolly gorge]

how get that perm

[marsh laurel]

wdym?

[jolly gorge]

iamge perm

[marsh laurel]

you ahve to pay

[jolly gorge]

pay what

[brazen gale]

this game is such bs at times but its also so addicting FUCK

[oblique barn]

i hate it when i get cut in half when the champion doesnt even swing

[brazen gale]

commoner boss update: just use the pitchfork

[waxen lance]

Reach lvl 2, by chatting here

[marsh laurel]

ez

[marsh laurel]

pitchfork is for pussies

[gilded breach]

Pussy tactics are allowed

[pulsar elbow]

damn my game lags..

in small buhurt

[marsh laurel]

buhurts are awfull

a bunch of physics

ultra lag

hmmmm

[slender idol]

Why did his upper body just get yeeted like that

[marsh laurel]

wait igot an idea

uncapped_MedalTVHalfSword20250421170027

how does that sound

guess which one is me

[gilded breach]

Common issue

[muted dew]

"Free thinkers" when 2010s girl pop

[granite kernel]

Commoner tier is fine tbh, but what I hate is the boss

[brazen gale]

yeah

[mortal pagoda]

"Hide the evidence"

[brazen gale]

thats why im just going to pitchfork him now

[granite kernel]

Going sword v sword against him is really hard

[brazen gale]

he wants you to go sword v sword

[granite kernel]

Not only does he has more reach

[brazen gale]

dont play his game, just out range him

[muted dew]

I love making stupid clips and edits in clipchamp.
no braindead phonk edits tho dont worry

[granite kernel]

but his sword also has more weight

[mortal pagoda]

Hide most of the evidence then

[vague spade]

I didn't know I could break my neck in the menu screen man I was at the last level 😭

[granite kernel]

yeah, many times I tried to sword v sword him 1/7 times I win

But why do that when I can just use a fork and get a 1/1 win

[marsh laurel]

eadude

thats embarrasin

g

[light garnet]

i wish half sword had more graphics options

what if i want all the blood simulation without the shadows frying my laptop?

[tough yew]

o, what trainer did ya use to spawn these npcs in?

[marsh laurel]

enchancer thing

[muted dew]

Cant you just lower graphics while keeping the gore settings?

[marsh laurel]

rn im playing superman with my strenght multiplier up and player damage to lwoest

[light garnet]

gore isnt as detailed on lower settings

[tough yew]

enjoy m8, thanks for telling me the sauce

[thin swan]

w game

[marsh laurel]

my pc can barely handle the low settings lol

[thin swan]

whats ur specs

my game runs on medium and 1600x900

[marsh laurel]

i got a 1650 super

[warm bone]

https://tenor.com/view/get-real-gif-21618446

[marsh laurel]

not the best hting ever

[thin swan]

no way

i got a gtx 960m

[warm bone]

guys how do yall play the game

my game lags on 4060 😭

i play on high it still lags

[thin swan]

maybe u havent optimised ur system

[warm bone]

how

[thin swan]

watch khorvie

on youtube

[warm bone]

i already did

[thin swan]

no way

[warm bone]

optimised

[thin swan]

weird

[thin swan]

have u used christitus's tool?

[warm bone]

it lags only in carnage or some other things where lots of ppl

like, when 1-2 ppl get hurt it lags

[thin swan]

then its either ur cpu or ram

[warm bone]

nah

[thin swan]

use it

[warm bone]

k maybe

[thin swan]

it debloats ur system

[thin swan]

same as u

use christitus

[thin swan]

but watch a guide

[warm bone]

ye i see

[warped apex]

I HIT THE COMMONER IN THE HEAD WITH A THROWN MACE THEN I STABBED HIM

[warm bone]

so much buttons

[thin swan]

go to tweaks

[marsh laurel]

did already

[thin swan]

and theres minimal above

[warm bone]

why yall's gameplay is so smooth

[thin swan]

click it and then run tweaks

[thin swan]

try to upgrade

[warm bone]

mine looks like it runs at 10 fps (it doesn't)

[solid wasp]

what is the mod called?

[thin swan]

fym mod

[marsh laurel]

dont really see a point

[solid wasp]

ty

[thin swan]

yw

no not fym mod

[marsh laurel]

okay im gonna play on hgh now

[thin swan]

that isnt a mod

[thin swan]

well try to watch some known dudes for optimization

like khorvie and that dude that plays tomb raider

i'll check his name hold up

his name is lecctron

he uses vtrl

[marsh laurel]

i jsut hit a NASTY uppercut

[jolly gorge]

how to take down goedendag wielding militia boss?

[thin swan]

mike tyson type shit

[jolly gorge]

hes scawy

[thin swan]

kiss him on the cheeks

[jolly gorge]

ok

lemme try

[thin swan]

you'll need to get very close to him

and attack him

works for every boss btw

if they have a long weapon

[jolly gorge]

i try to but he adjusts fast,

i try to knock his poley out the way with my sword

but he then smacks my cheeks with it

[thin swan]

hit his legs

[jolly gorge]

thats what i do

[thin swan]

aim for the head too

and dodge

[craggy prairie]

Im having a glitch (i think) Where in gauntlet when i die i dont lose progress but IT IS NOT FREE MODE!

[jolly gorge]

too bad i cant reach him when hes LITERALLY INSIDE ME, RELEASING ALL HIS POWER AND ENERGY AIMING TO COME INSIDE OF ME

[thin swan]

then play smart

[jolly gorge]

bruh

im going to eject on you

[jolly gorge]

i wish i chose geodendag for militia class

[thin swan]

im serious

thats how i win every fight

[warped moth]

When I go outside and smell da zaz

[jolly gorge]

yeah well you were kind of vague

i mean

i actually already try everything you listed

but he adjusts really fast and comes on me

[thin swan]

run away

[jolly gorge]

one goedendag is all it takes

[thin swan]

look for holes in his defense

[muted dew]

Switching to knigh on baron tier is awesome. It makes the long poleaxe handle like the short one

[jolly gorge]

yeah well by the time i try hes already filled in all of my holes

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-save-us-christ-exorcism-gif-19020014

[marsh laurel]

nah

its not this good

[thin swan]

be fast and agile

[jolly gorge]

ok

[jolly gorge]

thats vague

[thin swan]

i'll replay the gauntlet and show u thats its simple

is it the militia boss?

[jolly gorge]

yes

scawy goedendag

[thin swan]

i just beat his ass

[marsh laurel]

kablow

[jolly gorge]

i do too

today idk whats going on

[thin swan]

take a break and drink water then

[jolly gorge]

i usually just dodge and halfsword his back crack

[thin swan]

relax

[jolly gorge]

stepknight

[marsh laurel]

block the halbert with my armpit

anddd i didnt catch the finishing blow on a picture

[lusty osprey]

do u heal in uc

like abyss

[gilded breach]

Nah

[lusty osprey]

not major damage

bruhhhh

[marsh laurel]

u do but in real time

[lusty osprey]

how am i meant to fight a sword with a sickle 😭

[marsh laurel]

i waited 2 months in abyss last time to heal my ankle

real time

[gilded breach]

Did u get a cast on it?

If u dont it can end up deforming

And we dont want our willies to be more crippled than they already are

[marsh laurel]

oh no i didnt

this is pretty badass

[gilded breach]

Eldritch monstrosity

[marsh laurel]

is there any way to take pictures after takign a hit

so i dont have to press c everytime im close to hitting someone

[viscid hazel]

do i need to turn off gore completely to play ultimate challenge?

[wet stump]

this game is just so amazing i only started playing like a month ago and i already have like 50 hours on it

[jolly gorge]

what?

[gilded breach]

Blood seems to have more of am effect

[wet stump]

imagine how good it'll be when it fully releases

[viscid hazel]

I keep crashing when playing ultimate challenge

[wet stump]

yeah gore only really lags with dismemberment

[gilded breach]

So id try leaving gore and removung blood completely
But yes it shud help

[viscid hazel]

Thanks i'll try that#

[marsh laurel]

dude

is there any way to like spectate in 3rd person my battle after ist done

because i keep hitting NASTYYY hits

[analog pelican]

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO AVOID GETTING STABBED BY THE PITCH FORK GUYS EVEN?

[marsh laurel]

but i dont gclick c in time

[analog pelican]

THEY PERFECTLY TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT

[wet stump]

very good timing with the camera button

[jolly gorge]

i like dismemberment but i dont at the same time. i like gorey things but its unrealistic and the performance is better without it

[wet stump]

slap it away

[jolly gorge]

by not running head first onto the sharp stick?

slappy it away and / or go around it

[wet stump]

yeah, the reach of a polearm is its strength and its weakness. this game rewards you greatly for exploiting both

[jolly gorge]

its the same in history too

if you manage to get past the tip

your fine

just make sure he cant recover and go in for the kill while he is immobilized

[jolly gorge]

oh my what the fuck

what the hell did you do to willie

[lusty osprey]

how tf does my spear at max length not hit a dude with a sword but his sword just hits me wtf 😭

[jolly gorge]

have you heard the quote "if your sword is too short, take a step forward"

[wet stump]

me: which weapon is best for fighting the first champion?
the game:

[jolly gorge]

maybe he took that quote to heart

[lusty osprey]

yeah and i stepped back

also

[wet stump]

no offense, but skill issue

[lusty osprey]

a spear

how the heck does it not hit man

[jolly gorge]

what the other guy said

skill issue

[lusty osprey]

its uc..

[jolly gorge]

skill issue x2

[wet stump]

oh yeah but the spear is also very short unless you know how to handle it

[lusty osprey]

thrusting?

i know

[jolly gorge]

i thrust deep inside everyone with my spear

its not hard

[lusty osprey]

ayo man

ughhhh

[jolly gorge]

just stick it out, and wait for then THRUST

[lusty osprey]

bro 😭

[pulsar elbow]

ive fallen in love with teh pitchfork

maybe i should try spears again

[wet stump]

[hollow timber]

tauntful stab

[wet stump]

we need more half sword gifs i bet we gonna get some if they add facial expressions

[jolly gorge]

longsword/greatsword>anything else, even a long thing to thrust inside willie

[marsh laurel]

great axe beats it all

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k86ctcVb1t-QuS9JN?invite=cr-MSxYUmosMjExMzkzMzkx

puts them in a coma

[jolly gorge]

shut up

i love you, but shut up

[marsh laurel]

dude i literally broke wrists by hitting shields

i hit a shield and broke the hand so they dropped the shield

[jolly gorge]

shut up

SHUT UP

[analog pelican]

the boss isnt that hard, only took me 30 mineuts and alot of cheating

[jolly gorge]

YOU DONT GET TO TALK SHIT ABOUT A WEAPON, SO ELEGANT, SO NOBLE AND FAIR REPRESENTING THE JUSTICE AND FREEDOM OF THIS LAND, THE SWORD!

[marsh laurel]

i didnt talk shit

[tall dagger]

Maces have my heart fr.

[marsh laurel]

i said great axe is the best

[jolly gorge]

THATS A GRAVE INSULT

[marsh laurel]

maces are my favourite weapons irl

[jolly gorge]

not acknowledging the sword is automatically disrespectful

[marsh laurel]

the flanged mace

[jolly gorge]

in a 15 and 14th century battle maces are up there

[pulsar elbow]

should i spam a mace or a big axe?

in guantlet

[jolly gorge]

cheap, effective against armor

[jolly gorge]

longsword

[pulsar elbow]

no.

[jolly gorge]

yes

[wet stump]

longswords and maces are my favourites, longswords for precision, maces for when im feeling sadistic

[marsh laurel]

which big axe

[warped apex]

I need help how could I improve this combo?

[pulsar elbow]

you tell me. im liking the 2nd biggest mace atm

just hit the helm and they knock out

[marsh laurel]

im not a specialist but do a parry first since like

just going for the chest is

dangerous

[marsh laurel]

great axe is great

[marsh laurel]

[hollow timber]

[warped apex]

I miss the weapon throwing in the playtest heres a old comp from the playtest of throwing weapons

[wind perch]

i see his legs be spread

[jolly gorge]

hehe boi

[wind perch]

you can still throw?

[marsh laurel]

dude im stuck how do i leave

[hollow timber]

i did have another pov but the one i used for that pic is probably the best

[wind perch]

u gotta surrender

[warped apex]

Yes it's just weapon weights have been changed @wind perch

[wind perch]

the beggar willie has bested u

[hollow timber]

other perspective^^

[wind perch]

ahh

this is my first playtest

so basc first time playing the game

[tall dagger]

Welcome! Hope you learn to love it!

[tall dagger]

I’ve gotten a few decent weapon throws on the demo.

[hollow timber]

shield throwing is the new meta in my opinion

[warped moth]

Do not pick up any weapons off the ground🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️

He will start to do terrible horrible things to you

Well I'm currently a full armored willie going against peasants so, technically?

[severe cove]

Lock on strength?

[warped moth]

Ye

Send that up or down

Or turn it off

Sort of

[severe cove]

I cant seem to get a grasp with it off

[warped moth]

Make it lower then

Like

10%

[marsh laurel]

i got it maxxed out

[severe cove]

I mean more when in carnage I cant seem to lock onto the guy in front me it locks onto the one behind him

[warped moth]

There’s a button for locking on to other people

Personally I don’t use it

It’s g or something

They changed it

[hard gull]

ik that z turns it on and off

[severe cove]

the button to actually turn it on?

[warped moth]

Z

[hard gull]

used to be f, but they made that bullet time

[severe cove]

is the lock on based on like a hidden cursor?

[waxen lance]

-get minorly cut

i send it a sec ago

i never even saw it irl i just think its funny

[tall dagger]

I just did a google search

I was expecting gore ngl

[marsh laurel]

oh nice

my game crashed at the last dude

the

baron

well thats fine

[pearl yarrow]

So there is a demo available and i played that, but i read there is a different version in playtest (?) is that so? If there is what's different and how to access playtest?

[patent blade]

we need one with boobies

[cinder stone]

You had blood enabled

[half knoll]

How can I start the whole game from the beginning?

[cinder stone]

It's a known issue that having blood enabled crashes the game during the ultimate challenge

[marsh laurel]

there wasnt even THAT much

[cinder stone]

Any is enough

[marsh laurel]

i had the fatal crash here already

i just ignored it and kept playing

the game decided to crash when i started fighting the baron

[cinder stone]

Yeah, that's happened to lots of people, disable the blood for the ultimate challenge

[marsh laurel]

are you sure

[half knoll]

what? i asked how can i start from the beginning.

[fading igloo]

Hey what is up with the legs atm? Willie keeps tripping over himself??

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-no-skill-skill-massive-l-gif-1772992733160300208

[marsh laurel]

im the willie btw

[gilded breach]

Playtest is over ull have to snoop around to find a build
Its basically what u have now except theres only free mode and it handles a bit differently (enemies were a bit dumber too so it was easier)

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/short-fight-tall-gif-21229601

[gilded breach]

If ur fast enough you can outrace the crash

[marsh laurel]

the baron was literally falling over when i crashed

i think i hit the final strike

[gilded breach]

Goddamn that was close lmao

[viral vault]

are you sure

[gilded breach]

Positive

It happened to me

[viral vault]

are you sure

[pearl yarrow]

k gotchu, i saw a video comparing animation in pt vs demo, seemed a bit easier to perform actual strikes rather then just flayling around, also i saw a broken leg, that never happened to me playing in demo...

[warped moth]

@marsh laurel

[gilded breach]

Imo playtest weapons had no weight so they felt easier to swing around. I do prefer how it is now where u have to actually wind up and use guards and whatnot

[cinder stone]

oh sorry I replied to the wrong fella

[cinder stone]

as for that, I guess you could let yourself die in the gauntlet to start over at the lowest tier?

er, the normal mode where you go from nekkid to baron

[short cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/omniman-are-you-sure-bens-yeater-gabe-zimmerman-linus-neuman-gif-7992236815276450479

[warped moth]

They call him Willie the why he _______.

[warped moth]

Flabbergasted

[short cloud]

should i go to therapy ?

[unborn yoke]

Dang it, I can't beat the peasant boss without tripping over his scythe half the time.

😡

[brazen gale]

use pitchfork and out range him

[short cloud]

use a axe the side step to the left and kill him

[plain sleet]

Does anyone know how to restart the gauntlet mode after completing it?

[short cloud]

nah

[unborn yoke]

Die.

I don't know, actually.

[waxen lance]

use a hoe and parry his scythe

[unborn yoke]

I'm not good enough to reach the end.

😔

[short cloud]

maybe delete the game and reinstall

[waxen lance]

once you beat the baron you get to restart

or die

both work

[unborn yoke]

I try to do this, but every time I swing, it either hits him with the handle and I immediately get sliced in half by him moving his toe or I hit him and I die immediately after because he jiggled his hand.

[plain sleet]

when i died i still hasd all the tiers, i just want to get the sense of progression

[pulsar elbow]

i recommend pitch for first 3 bosses

[fallow stone]

why do graphics in display settings go down to medium randomly

[short cloud]

do what i said but only right after he attacks and keep some distance so the axe will hit

[waxen lance]

I like fighting the peasants as the baron because you get to take bomb ass screenshots like this

[unborn yoke]

👍

[gilded breach]

It shud restart on its own after u beat the ultimate challenge

[wet stump]

I like pitchforks.

[short cloud]

i have no idea what i was doing at the start
