uhhh like 6 or 5 idk
nah actually tho
its mods
which
hs enhancer
im using that
i used the manual install
when you get to the max rank, does it unlock in free mode as well?
how i do that?
just split someone's head in half. sideways and it just looks like it took a catscan of bro
did you update it tho?
thanks a lot. now i'm splitting farmers in half with baron's greatsword
idk if i have the right version
ill get the githb onew
mine is 30
just tell me the settings tho pls
okay so ik it sounds like a scam but it will give you a virus detected thing
but it is not a virus at all
ik
just reinstall it bro
i use it
That's gonna be one hell of an impact
plus posses nearest willy
but keep in mind making yourself just enormously tall can make you not being able to get up
thats the fun part
just like that one Punchout character
ok maybe not
That's happened to me a few times, I swear my Willy gets posessed
Ever like to play a game of chicken with Willie? Whoever flinches first loses.
Just keeps flopping around at all the wrong times
bro i made my willy max height and uhh i cant walk or run im just on the ground
why are the two handed mase and hammer so rare on the 4th teir
last attempt at final challenge before i use mods i have had like 30+ attempts now
yeah being super duper puper giant will make you unable to walk
realy is the max you can bee with walking normaly
what is the mod
Do tell
skinwalker willie
💀 👍 
i thought 1.73 was like in cm when i first got the mod
What's the mod?
so i put 200 to make myself 6 foot 7 and i made myself flying
hs enhancer
Noice ty
Anyone ever do this
yes
1.73 has no issues
i feal like axes take off legs too easily
actualy when running he is uhh
he can fall sometimes
Average youtuber
what motnh is the real game comoing out?
Toughest football player
Early access releases somewhere in October-December
i put 5 foot 8 since it was average at old times
like average knight
The uh, guy with a sliced neck unfortunately is me
Very dull blade
Where do you get this
wdym
I want to compare williesss
its just an app for comparing heights
That's a pretty big Willie - most folk don't realise the struggle of having an oversized willie
if you make him realy big its hard to walk
thank you
I know man, it's a struggle but it's manageable like.
More difficult in game though
Does anyone know if local multiplayer in the roadmap? Feel like that’d be a cool feature.
true
this game is so shit now its sad
Well I think most people know it’s not the size of Willie that matters, but how Willie performs
The bigger the Willie the harder they flop?
Youre right bigger equals slower
slower kicks
punches
you thought i was gonna say something else didnt you?
i remember i knocked out a big willy and he flopped on his back so hard
Honestly thought it was going to be about reach
reach yeah
👍 
oh Smi77y released a new half sword video
I was literally talking abt smi77y playing half sword earlier
I can't wait for character customisation though, they'll have to make a 'Show me your Willie' chat
i wish the max is gonna be higher then 190cm
or imagine you can use mods and max it out even more
higher than 213cm
shit at this point if there is gonna be such a mod il just max out my weigh my height and become the ultra silly billy willy
for now i watched and i think that max was 180cm and 93 kg
As long as they keep some sort of 'goldilocks' zone in terms of buffs etc because taller Willie's have more reach so there needs to be a balance or at least a reason to keep to 'realistic' heights if you know what I mean
Good call, watching it now!
Hello, my name is Guilherme, I have been a Brazilian translator for 4 years and I liked the theme of the game, something challenging, but I see that it does not yet have Brazilian Portuguese, I would like to talk about translating the game, what do you think? I await one response, thank you for your attention!
Yeah did you notice the potential for a Willie willy in that WIP?
Best to try the feedback channel - there's also an email address to contact the dev team for that stuff but they're really focused on finishing Early Access so may not respond for a long time.
Good luck buddy! 🙂
Guys can i get help abt pcs?
1450-1470 (I think)
This motherfucker on my own team is taking me for a walk
Thank you very much!
Guys can i get advice on pcs?
Struggle snuggle
Off rip smi77y went into abyss instead of doing the gauntlet like he wanted lol
ok so it was tall
when is the Medevil chainsaw being added
Probably better to ask Google about Pornographic Control Systems, chap
bro im pissed off they forgot to add you know what?
twerking
we need that ASAP
is it possible to reset my challenge rank so i can do it again?
dont trust the AI overview
I just hope that with the timeperiod we get some end game byzantine gear
yeah... by beating the challenge
youre right
it just crashes everytime i play it
well then its not likely possible
face the 1st boss, like so many times before
execute a roundhouse kick which knocks me, him and his axe to the floor
:(
++was chain out of period by 1450? I'm not entirely familiar with kit for the period
you punch him till he falls down and it works well enough
unless it doesnt
i still consider the guy with the spikey ass spear to be the worst one though
You can snap Willie’s neck
nah im pretty sure it was still used
its in the game but only for waist and neck. im sure well get a full shirt eventually
play on gentle and lower graphics
lowering blood works for me
thanks ill give it a go but i like the gore and blood : ( lol
keeping the gore works fine for me but im not sure if its just because im purely lucky on it
then again i play on the middle setting
I would definitely suggest a desktop if it's within budget.
But it looks okay I guess, I don't know much about Intel CPUs.
I would also check the motherboard specs because prebuilts tend to cheap out somewhere, my first desktop was a prebuilt and the motherboard throttled all my hardware.
I got my latest desktop from a custom build maker who's very knowledgeable if you want a link, they charge around 10% for parts total and a bit of labor iirc. So not too terrible of a rate.
i started the gauntlet mode and the very first fight was with a guy with an axe while i had nothing
is that how its normally supposed to go
how does one obtain tester
So which one of those two? Asus got 250hz monitor and 1tb of memory. But its 700 euros more expensive. Should i invest in asus or go cheaper for msi
bro i tried to pick it up and he skillfully removed my entire arm before cutting me in half vertically when i tried to run away
oh sorry I totally missed there was two, one moment
Remember the first boss was an even bigger and badder axe guy, but you got past him. He is quite knifeable, you can knife a small willie with an axe
why the fuck is falling down so easy
I will send a video of me getting hit with a shovel while running to prove it isnt that easy
i believe im talking about the first boss
hey friends, new to the game, just wanted to check if something was an intended feature or a bug. when playing free mode at the same level as my current gauntlet run I seem to get points towards the next rank in the gauntlet run for successes in free mode. Is this intentional?
oh I was thinking of Ultimate Challenge lol. Big candlestick is easiest, but you can dispatch him in a number of ways
how can i get the full game?
yeah pls cuz i rly need help idk much abt laptop except reading brochure
i cant stab with that much finesse yet
yeah thats just the demo bro, the real game will be much better
the game isn't out yet, you can't get the full thing
you download it??
should be able to play t0 in freeplay and you can select the carnage mode. Good way to practice with the knives
on steam???
bro i hate this guy his aim is so good 💀
ty
im new so like dont judge
i got the candlestick and tried to keep him at bay and he instantly severed my hand
I will judge
ok
is there a reason this game is heating my computer the temperature of the sun
I can't find the second model so I can't really look at it. gaming "notebook" is a weird name though, if it's super thin I can't imagine its gonna have good cooling
Its not thin its 3.2kg heavy
Not rly light
Im just asking which one should i get?
I rly need a straight answer
guys I will give you actual advise for the baron fight things, literally just hold control and itll be 100x easier cause the enemies miss all their shots, get the good axe and just knock him over by kicking and such
my character is so much more of a wet noodle than the npcs
idk, depends probably on CPU and Motherboard in them.
I understand loosely the rest of the specs and they seem fine either way
i cant stab hard enough to penetrate skin and if you sneeze on me i will fall over
I used same tactic as I said
Anyone win the gauntlet with 0% damage to npc and 100% damage to player ☠️?
game crashed and just said "fatal error" even though everything was clearly still running fine behind the message
got bonked
Make a wild fucken guess
i genuinely dont understand this boss fight
he doesnt seem to have any issue at all instantly dismembering you
which boss
so the second boss?
thats alot bro
Helmet
Doesn't always spawn
not against the axe of instant dismemberment
🤓
I only seem to beat him when I get long candle stick
I literally beat that boss with my fists
I beat the boss in 30 seconds bro
Its multiple fights in one using various weapons.
The longest is only a minute
yes well you're obviously good at the game, good job, im new and its the first boss i should be able to take more than one hit
Long candle stick is the best
let me show you the strat
Playing with the default settings you can beat him if you use the iron gloves (at least I was able to do it)

you can take more than one hit. But you're gonna have to learn how to take a hit and how to keep your balance.
i got that, his first swing of the axe clipped my fingers and somehow removed my entire forearm making the weapon unusable
give me a minute
This video will literally cover whatever weapon you randomly are able to get.
You can with almost anything
will women ever be added as player model or at any capacity? just curious
EWWWWWWWW
it really does tend to feel like the game is just stacked completely against me
even in a 1v1 fistfight, i decked this dude in the jaw 3 times and hes still swinging
Well the physics are goofy
he clips my neck once i have permanent brain damage
Anything the AI can do to you, you can do to the AI.
Bosses tend to have pretty high aggression, but they're just a taller Willie
true
the AI can't spin kick me, so im good!
Tall peasoon
Coming in the next update!
The damage system is also equal between all willies.
genuinely just lost a match because a naked man i had clocked in the jaw 3 times hit me once
Just takes practice to land your hits right. Position, angle, weight and momentum are all factored in
falling over is too easy and getting up is too hard
If you go to #game-footage-🎮🎥 and than look in threads, Theres a grapplers and brawler guild.
Among others for various weapons types.
i was landing hits at least a little bit like this, the dude grazed my face and i just couldnt get back up
Honestly the guilds don't make much sense to me
Yeah, plus the benefits aren't that beneficial.
i dont have a defense against my character tripping over his own feet
Often if you're getting knocked down by a graze, your momentum is working against you and the opponent is just giving that extra push to knock you over.
Balance is not just WASD input, it's also camera (lean) and weapon offeset (counterbalance)
Take this for example, I got hit stupendously hard in the head but stayed upright
how tf do you lean though
Camera angle
the game doesnt let me move my camera as long as anything at all is happening
U lean where ur camera is pointed?
Essentially. Your center of balance will shift where you angle your camera and Willie's head will track a bit
Yall have much more patience than me i have to say
so you just cant lean while moving your weapon
@stiff dagger i will tell you how to beat that boss
dude these fatal errors when im having a good ultimate challenge run are starting to get on my nerves ngl
it's insane
I'd love if they'd work on the stab mechanic, it's not reliable most times unless I'm playing spear.
so basically you full rush him but try to wait when he already swung down before you rush so back off and wait and then rush him and bombard him with punches from both arms
U grab the knife that always spawns and u stab that oaf in the chest simple as
then he'll just fall over
the duality of willie
i have tried this
and i usually kick him multiple times
Always go where the blade is not.
thats why you wait till he swung down so you have a window to hit him
Are u using slomo?
what?
It's okay to not always have your weapon up and ready, but in some scenarios you just have to let them drop and rely on your balance skills to turn strikes into glancing blows so you can ready to fight again.
I was not so lucky in the end here, but I stayed upright for a long time despite losing a ton of my stamina to a head strike
F to slo mo
Press f to trigger slomo
i really wish the game had a tutorial of some kind
I mean theres not alot of mechanics
right but i had no idea there was slomo
until recently i didnt know you could grab people or stab
you dont look at the update logs frfr
There are at least 3-4 ppl here daily who are confused about mechanics
Game needs a tutorial
well i think the stab is quite obvious no?
its a dueling game lol
it doesnt tell you that you can do it or how to
Nothing is rly obvious
you would assume so, yes, but the game says nothing about it so you dont know
And lookin at keybinds doesnt cut it
because its a fighting game lol its expected that you can stab them
I am not opposed to a tutorial being implemented one day.
But does no one else ever check keybinds when they first start a game, especially ones without tutorials?
Even if they do the keybinds section doesnt rly tell u how to do stuff with ur mouse
ok so unsurprisingly "leaning to deflect blows" doesnt do anything when you arent wearing armour
you just die
Like ive seen a person i introduced look at these and still not understand how swinging or half swording or stabbing works because its not intuitive for everyone
whattttt
blood footprints is incredible attention to detail
just have to experiment, that's what I did.
There likely will not be a tutorial until at least 1.0 release because mechanics are subject to change
There was a tutorial back in the old abyss
seems like mechanics changed a lot since the old abyss
I think there shud be something rn when the demo is rly popping off
i dont understand how to stab at all
i might make a tutorial on steam
It was essentially just keybinds but ingame
i do the right input and it just bounces off like a wet towel
and they change according to your shoes!
what are you using?
Bro what the fuck did you do
I was gonna hop into gauntlet and try and demonstrate how to take blows from axe guy, but uh, I don't think that's gonna happen atm lol
a knife rn, i hold alt+m1+m2 and move my mouse forward and its like i caressed them
try holding only M2 and swinging
No need to press both mouse buttons
My favorite way to stab is double click during slo-mo, you can control the attack as it goes forwards
Skill issue
right but im trying to stab that wouldnt stab
do not worry.
just did one carnage with the peasant axe, and none of my enemies died a normal death
Real.
I could still use this guy as an example lol
think I need to chill
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fTL70ng14p4 stabbing examples
right that would slash
lol, I chopped a guy's head so hard his helmet split in two.
but slashing is the thing that kills
yes and i asked how to stab
Hello guys, is there any way to support the creators of this game ? Could not find any links and I love the game
how do you guys have img perms?
I cashapped a mod
because that was how someone here demonstrated how to kill the axe guy
you can just hold M2 and rush at them with your knife extended toward them
Bad habit imo
I was going to show my head split, but yeah, pictures.
ive tried that, that was when it just bounced off
what tier are you then
in terms of monetary support, no, but spreading word of the game always helps
also you need to have some luck and need to aim properly
cause its kinda hard to do
Look at the video smug uploaded thats how it shud look
if it bounces your angle of the knife is glancing
naked people
Wishlist the game on steam, buy it when early access comes out.
They have investors.
level 3
it's easier to see in slomo
hiii kepontrucken
how are you
ALT + m1/m2
My recommendation is to practice in free mode over and over and over again.
Yes slomo is extremely useful for these tight moments
Oh alright thank you guys 🫶
You'll pick up what's possible and what isn't.
alt f4 works best for me
Fine
pro
alt is better for two hand pokes imo, double click and slo mo better for knife and small pokes
It does take some time to get good at aiming the blade, stabbing and slashing properly.
Thanks
slashing is easy, you hold M2 or M1 and just swing and they usually land onto your blade alot
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gOczueGEU68 more examples
What mod do I need to play mini me
It's always scary when I'm cruising in freeplay on a weapon and then suddenly the next round features a Willie with extreme amount of aggression and he bumrushes me while I'm complacent lol
do you switch as you play or mostly play fpp?
I prefer First Person as it makes it look cooler and its easier to use blades and such
Depends on weapon and armor
But as the tier goes higher it gets harder to see then I go to Third Person
I lag more in first person so always third
Like i dont really get how u fpers do it i cant see my weapon or anything
I think theres probably some value in learning fpp for accuracy in pokes, but there are also a lot of tools to land pokes in 3pp
turn your FOV up
Yall have a good day I am out!
there's a lot of information loss in fpp even max fov
damn, i got a clip of the average axe guy attempt but cant upload it
i presume because of server level
was something updated recently? the controls on weapons feel different somehow
no update I believe. Confirm?
U shud be able to upload in #game-footage-🎮🎥
tis done
Cool, not only did my guy get stabbed in the foot by a defeated opponent, but he also died, AND it crashed my game so I couldn't do Abyss mode.
Sure hope that gets fixed soon.
Well u kinda tunnel visioned into the candlestick there
yeah, think this character just holds stuff weirdly, like he held a spade with a weird pose that did not feel usual, and that was his default way everytime he holds one
thoughts on making a pole arm dodging vid?
if i dont immediately get a weapon itll end like all my other attempts do
with my body in multiple pieces
Kite him away and then go for it
U are faster than him
doesnt feel like it
I can assure u
when i randomise my body is it better to go for smallness for better damage avoidance
or height
for attack range
the vibe is that its harder to get bowled over in later levels if you're taller
but haven't tested
God, I'm infuriated now.
do devs read the feedback threads? i feel like now might be a bad time becuase people are complaining 🫠
Rly tho ubshud just practice in free mode ull get a taste of weapons and how they handle and its not nearly as frustrating
id like to get a taste of the ability to stand up
but this game doesnt include that
It does but the enemies dont like that
based on how they're developing the game, I think they have really good ears
apparently being hit once in the stomach means your entire nervous system shuts down
kinda trueish
but yeah characters probably need a bit more vigor right now
or just temporary adrenaline
Check latest pin.There's more nuaunce to that but that's the first basic step to standing up.
If you are being assaulted though it's going to be much harder.
And frankly, why would the enemy give you a chance to get back up lol. It's not often they do
U might have gotten the wind knocked outbof u
well then i guess that happens every single time anyone has ever touched me
My child is exaggerating
This is why I asked if there were any updates, cause it feels like this spade is being held differently from before, still can hit but yeah, the movements arent the same
If your stamina is not low from immense amounts of damage, then getting up should look like this
Let us shathe our swerds in honor
i just got hit in the head by the backspin of an attack meant for someone else
i got knocked over and couldnt get up
i was literally wearing a metal helmet
Why art we not finden a path to peace
Knauser!
OAF
eggard
CUCKHOLD
Squandrel!
FRETCH!
RAUCHE
The 1H hammer definitely needs some handling tweaks but it is so awesomely powerful if you can manage to strike solidly with it
is this the one that sounds like theyre calling me racial slurs
i cant understand what did npcs say when they give up
Yes u can tap g to do the same
I pray thee mercy
i thought one of the lines were Sch’wey me kindness for a different mayonaise!
Do this with every punch or swing its fun
Be not the cause of my dett
Do me no harm but let me live!
The games progression is just get to the Placon then win

Oh hammer, I cannot wait for the day they fix you and you become even greater
Im thinking, would it be better if the first thing that pops up on booting the game is free mode rather than gauntlet?
Placon still gonna be better
If you make it to the final challenge and decide you wanna go back to the previous classes and fight them and then die will you lose your final challenge progress
It would likely lead players to experiment more with different tiers rather than autolocking to fist fights
the “unga bunga”
the best weapon belongs to either Voulge, Fists, or the Fence
Simply play freemode
oh and gravity
no but also free mode
I am I do that
I am on my 3rd complete duke run because I like fighting the bosses
Soldier also has plancon just sayin
yes but you get more xp
True
Anyways time to finally beat the final challenge
Last run i spiced it up by banning randomizing my loadout
What i get the first time around is how ill beat it
I've trained for hours with the placon
I've been doing similar things I wanna try a punch run soon
That'd be funny
Sounds like a hell of a time gonna learn to love the abyss
I've tried it died at man at arms
Not bad
Their helmets made it almost impossible
You just gotta get em on the ground, 1v1s would be your friend
And 1v4s once you get to the later stages
I only did 1v1s and I got bodied by a man at arms with a long stick
Always the ones with the long sticke
i am currently breaking the knight bosses kneecaps with a placon
as a militia
And they surrendered
Is there a channel for posting ideas what add to the game
Ty
im very curious what monke is gonna suggest
gorilla fights added to the 1v1 pool
My only problem with the ultimate challenge is the fact your willie just decides to compeltely stop moving or running randomly\
had that bug once. Restarting your game should fix it. That and the flamingo leg bug is obnoxious
yeah, I know. That doesn't change the fact of what I said lol
Ive had both of these and they suck in general ult challenge is rough rn
Lots of lil issues that need fixing
zzzzz
Nice blunt movement
99.99% of the ultimate challenge is rng
the next 0.01% is hoping you dont randomly fly out of the arena
whats rng
Man the axe is fun to fuck around with
mean
not even polearms are safe
i'll give you that one, that is fucking insane
The rng of your weapons deciding if they wanna actualy work and do damage or just marlessly bounce or slide off
Too much Mordhau taught me I can just reach out and recover thrown weapons lol
oh, then yeah theyre ass
needa be reworked in the finished game
100%
how do i get image perms?
an axe shouldnt slide across flesh like willys oiled up
reach level 2 by sending messages in the server
a knife pointed at a willie going 10 mph should go into them but it just slides off
but... Willy is oiled up.
darn 🫠
lmao
no deadass, and the other times they cut him in half
ok ill just charades my question
I know
the axe is just a wildcard
cut them in half or give them a minor concussion
It seems if I hit them at an angle it still works as an effective club. Direct strikes should nearly always cut.
bro hit me ONCE with the axe lmao... still lived tho
i dont want the butter knife to cut willy in half
is there some option that enables an overlay that shows the aim of your mouse in combat stance? I swear I've seen it before but maybe thats just a mod?
The butternife either cuts them in half or cuts you in half
That's the neat part, the butter knife DOES cut willy in half
we ever gona have like a build system some day for free mode or do u think its stuck randomised forever
i been saying this
something like this https://imgur.com/a/gRnocH0
fr icl i be clicking for what feels like hours just to get the right equipment i want idky we cant just choose it from the get go
people be acting like this is a skill based game and isn't 99.99% rng to see if your wepaon works
It is likely set this way to encourage players to try a variety of weapons since this build is essentially for player feedback.
and also choosing between modes
is there a good samaritan that can help me while i kill the bosses?
The axe is too fucking easy to screw around with lol
and not have it be carnage only half the time
use the Placon
Or gamble with 10 luck in New vegas
ig thats fair but like id also want to fight higher ranks in freemode with daggers and stuff like that which would help the playtest but they wont let me 😡
You can
ok I'm going to assume that setting does not exist then 🙃
Just drop your primary secondary and then use your backup dagger
yeah tbf i been doing that but i want like the kitchen knife from the farmer rank
boy i sure hope there was a weapon that did a fuckton of damage for like no reason
the humble axe
and still its annoying ahh just to do that
i know, but, you cannot do nothing against black swordsman with that
wack him once on the head.
once
what if i get cut in galf before reaching his head
i know
If you wanna use the dagger, just pull it out any time
i went from getting veteran 3 times to not even managing to deal with beggar boss
Pitchfork his feet
lmao thought the clip was gonna be fumbling for said dagger and then falling flat on the face when reaching for it lol
thats honestly a good option
I use pitchfork until they start armoring their legs
How can I quit my helmet
Sometimes I like to use backup weapons or the dagger, especially if my enemy has lost their weapon and I feel like giving them a fair chance... not that it usually works out for them
oh i thought u meant the armored swordsman with black steel armor
I just love how absolutely broken the ultimate challenge is
no just stab that dude with a pitchfork lmao
arm break when you sheathe a sword
Willie refuses to walk
Knife that bounce off flesh
tips for unsheathing during the gauntlet: dont
ohh, thats why you said placon?
nah some other guy lol
i like calling the placon the fuckshit stick of evil
more suitable name imo
Placon the best weapon
i dont get it. does enemies strike harder in ultimate challenge? it feels like all my weapons are as sharp as a butter knife but their weapons feels like lightswords. single touch and you are dead
unionically yes, the bosses do
normal guys are normal tho
in the ultimate challenge there is only one boss wdym
sry thought u meant gauntlet
they definetly arent if they stillf fighting while cut in half
I think you forgot to turn your damage settings back to normal
nope they are default
For toast
no the other guy lol
oh
No, i havent changed them
They just dont die and somehow one shot me when they graze my leg
i mean they dont ignore it but theys till try lmao
Holler i am new, any whispers of multiplayer yet?
No
Nuclear bomb update when?
I have damage on medium for both and have never witnessed a monty python moment
that was the world cutting slash
It feels more like either of us touches each other we just die
I only have monty python moments
uhhh bummer, this game has so much Brotential
Somehow they be standing on a non existant leg
lmao this game? we aint getting multiplayer
I'd like to see the Willie that survives this
i cant get by the peasant grete champion -___________-
nah i was talkin with another few dudes a couple o days ago, we had the birlliant drunk idea of a mideival rpg that but it controls like halfsword with the physics and everything
it would be the goofiest, dumbest, yet fun-est game of 2025
so human fall flat but knights and swords
No lock on user
The ultimate challenge would be possible for me if willie decided to actually pick up a weapon
"i mean first hit graze, second hit arm and disabled but could still probably- oh."
Firt hit graze instant death
Sometimes I like to play games of chicken with Willie. Whoever flinches first loses
woe, stick in throat upon thee
i like to take my time
I have not beat my willie much today. Maybe I will later this evening
after more testing you can indeed spin in to dodge most poles with the speed boost. similar movement to spin kicks
format fail
Use mp4
wrong send
They need to fix all the weapons
What an overlay
yeah helps me keep track of inputs when I go back to look at tests etc 🙂
and somehow one kick from them to your foot completely disables your leg
nice for guides if people can follow lol
not all weapons need changes, just some. Most handle well. If you are consistently sliding off then you ought to work on your angle and momentum.
Gambeson does not cut easily, and if you are not hitting it right, you are unlikely to penetrate it
penetrate it u say
yes. you must penetrate Willie with the correct thrusts and motion
it's litterally hitting with perfect edge alignment in the diirection im swinging with pleanty of momentum and it just bounces or slides off
ffs clyde lemme upload the picture
The clips you can hit by kicking into your swings is insane
I've been slowly working on kick strikes, but not as often as I should
Mostly I've just been working on making finer movements and good backhanded strikes
You can thrust with the spike ended weapons and kick for it to penetrate
Since kicking launches you forward
good to keep in mind
How are y'all so skilled 💀
I just observed what the AI did, and what some people did on here.
Gradually learned new stuff and refined techniques
i love falcondude. not strong but very fun
I can't even swing in a straight direction let alone learn new techniques
Literally tweeking rn
just practice will help.
Sometimes I will practice my swings slowly to help refresh myself on how to manipulate the weapon
how do i choose a faction?
actively am
are you at militia?
u only choose after u beat commoner boss
also go yellow
Dont
The best one is French or descreased damage
HRE just got the best drip
but the HRE sucked irl
honestly, which one should be good for a passive-ish playstyle?
yellow is nice. Increased stamina lets you beat the crap out of your opponents relentlessly, and is extremely helpful in later tiers where you have heavy armor that soaks up your stamina to move in
the enemies seem to be less aggressive around the 3-6 teir to the point where they dont kill each other
The more and more I play the ultimate challenge the more bullshit arises
enemy aggression is randomized for each npc
decreased dmg is also decent
i love how the abyss, that demo only mode is now just a way-to-come-back thing i love it
guess im just unlucky then
The base level is randomized
Aggression will also increase whenever the AI feels they have an advantage on you, like wounds, low stamina, loss of a weapon/shield, outnumbered, off balance, your armor vs. their armor, etc. There's a variety of factors that I've observed that motivate the AI to attack
ultimate challenge is the worst
They charge in after getting injured too
Every time I am wining the game crash, it feels intentioned
literally whenever someone bitches in here theyre either a complete beginner or on ult challenge theres very rarely an inbetween
so i assume from what i see, Yellow is the best?
The game has a lot of nuance to it and what may seem to be bugs or bad game design can be something as simple as the player not realizing how to keep their balance
also i love how i get straight up decapatated but the abyss says "nah u gud"
Stamina or Health are good picks. They both have their benefits. I have not messed wit hthe other two as much
often when an armor drops from an enemy in the last gauntlet waves the game just crashes
plus u need like the best pc to not lag the fuck out in the gauntlet
its stressful
ye its fucky as hell is what im sayin
i cannot play without max gore
but i must go by the rules in the gauntlet
low graphics 0 gore
this is true but ult is still bs
I can't for the life of me beat lvl 3 commoner boss. Tried it 50 times almost.
I was just talking about new players mainly. Ultimate challenge isn't too bad with bugs imo, except for performance and crashes.
After playing it for a bit, it's just so punishing because it's not just that the AI are always better equipped, their aggression is cranked very high because they hold "advantages" over you.
Usually in numbers and equipment
Anyone else struggling
Pitchfork feet
let him get the first swing just stand still and dodge backwards
sample size too small
Pitchfork or just run at them with a longsowrd pointed at their chesty
either works
Grab the pitchfork and send him to madagascar
has anyone tried just not falling over? it works
fist fighting is so easy
that was hella smart
You used to gas after like 2 seconds of chaining punches
They made it super ez now
fr
Neither did they chain as well before
Why does my game preform betetr on the hgiest graphics than on medium or low?
Lower the damage lol
spectating
This one is mine, dunno how many left hands I've given to Willie. But he still standing after turning his face into a tomato
ah
maybe turn your damage up if you want to like
Nah I like my boxing matches to have some endurance lol
okay so dont try to use the revive cheat in the abyss
same to be fair
the armor not dropping on ult challenge is dumb
it would be cool to control a bloody skeleton
I thought you don’t reset if you die on the ultimate challenge
LOL
I would've pissed myself
so how much of the game do we have now percentage wise?
I stg I'm losing it with fist fights
This is an old clip with the default damage
Old kick
just start SWINING AND SWINGING SIDE TO SIDE, chaining your punches like a fucking anime character
the hoe is so OP lol
Wrong 1
that is the only damage it should be for player damage and npc damage
M1 + M2 for closer swings
Single key for farther swings.
Narrow motions with mouse for quick jabs.
Wider motions with mouse for hooks.
Q/E to grab.
grab with your right hand and give em the left hook of doom
if you fist fight well enough this happens
Oh it's stupid easy
but without a candle stick
old playtest looks like the autoshop tubedoll thingies istg
I'm just bored from dying repeatedly on higher levels
Wanna take pitchfork peasant to knighthood
I FUCKING LOVE CANDLE STANDS!
Also is it me or the right hand has the same power as the left?
full sized candle is the greatest lol broke a low llvl champs arms in seconds
It’s even more like this now with all four directions being dodge steps
yes
Willie can move like a cockroach
nah now everything feels like it has weight
i use that shit as a spear sometimes because it has the spike
come here i aint done with you yet
Maybe the case when handling a weapon
solid point no pun intended
that pun was intended for sure.
blue gang
im having a problem if someone could help me please when i play after like 5 minutes it just crashes my game and it happens conssintly
what the fuck
can anyone help
Where did you save the file?
Shift WASD
Hold shift and press any direction key that isn't W i guess
Just tap it too
I tried installing it on my E drive, but it would crash all the time. Then I moved it to my C drive and that worked (mostly)
ah, I see
not move, then tap shift ASD
Lmao tall ones are a thing of nightmares
If you turn your camera every directional strafe can be in the same direction
god i fucking hate the longsword boss
I'm not even trying gauntlet mode anymore, I think I need a better computer.
gen pain
Its only voice chats
lol, I didn't know you could kill your dude from the menu.
Bro posted invite link
I right clicked his face and he died.
Remember. If you spam click your Willie on the main menu you will unlock the golden Willie knight!
is that a mod?
i feel like the left hand is like 3x better
He’s left handed
is there ever gonna be multiplayer for halfsword
Why are his left hooks 10x more dangerous than his rights
unlikely
Dunno, right hand seems to have more power than before now
dude if it doesnt work the first time its not gonna work the second
i think the left is just not as strong now
Cheese i forget ok
what the fuck
This will be average ranked half sword match
I will only play low damage online
if they do multiplayer they should let the damage sliders affect you and your opponent in multiplayer
who can break the game first
Here's one example I found
I think my favorite would be fists if there were online pvp.
But I just know all it would be is 720 degree roundkicks that send me soaring into the fence resulting in my back snapping in half
Normal damage fists are going to be a snoozefest
5%
and here i was thinking maybe its like 7% now
idk, i used to put the damage settings to a minimum and go into fistplay and still manage to 1hit a guy with a left before, but now i have been unable to do so
i usually hate early access stuff but thisll be an exception
Ah 6%
He took a straight left and an uppercut, he was still down to fight lol
lil pieces ❤️
still remember that time I got turned into a groinless nugget in the void, and was somehow still alive
no limbs, no willie, just flailing and bleeding everywhere screaming my lungs out
The game desperately needs way to see name of weapons. An obvious place is during character loadout. Probably it is not always going to be random so it can come then
Education sword
someone give me a weapon to use. I've wielded most, need to find a new way to entertain myself
CAN someone please help me im just getting a fatel error after i play the game please guys
But we still don't know if the peasant shredder 9000 is called a Plancon a picot or Godendag
Plankton
it is calleda warstaff in the game files so plancon
Does anybody else have really buggy spears?
It is the first one...how is it even debate?
It could also just be called club or something too
I swapped hands with a spear and was flung backwards into a fence because he got it stuck behind him
HOW TO USE TRAINER MOD
Some schizos in chat tried to convince me it was a godendag 2 weeks ago
And we don't really have as much historical evidence for the plancon than for the Godendag
Yes, we have photos of reenactment guys holding the plancon but that is not historical evidence, that's people dressing up as old soldiers
i get the pitchfork to the other side of his leg, while i get my leg 1mm from his sword and i die
Historical evidence would be remains of a plancon, a journal from the time period describing a plancon in aae
dude thought he could escape by crawling under the fence
True but by visuals alone the war staff in game is much more like a plancon than a goedendag
Does plancon even fucken exist be so fr
we don't even know if the plancon really exists...
The most primitive weapon
Literally the only results on google are video games
The wikipedia page for it links to a book
Which is why I said "by visuals alone"
It doesn't have a noticeably thicker area that sticks out just below spike. That is enough for no Godendag
Until someone buys that extremely expensive book for like the 3 sentences about plancon a picot we will not be sure if it exists or not
It's a morning star/spiked club fellas
modified godendag
It's a sick ass apocalypse skull fucker type thing
They don’t mention plancon because no one is proud to be a plancon main
Peasant shredder 9000
when you cut off Willie's limb and he doesn't give up, does anyone else like to try and make him symmetrical again?
he sent me 3 times to the abyss, in wich, i survived 2 and the alst one i died
The victors gatekept the plancon and the losers didn't live to tell everyone else about it
I just stare at him in the eye and go. "What are you gonna do now? Bleed on me?"
.
I can make one in like 20 minutes
grotesque
what is that
Oognaboonga ahh weapon
I give him a big hug with my sword behind his back and twirl him around
ok
Just use pitchfork, you're NOT going to win against him fairly. Unless you thrust with your sword.
butguys when is multiplayer i want to get flamed in russian
no context
and griefed like hell
im fucking using it, thats the problem idk if its my skill issue or is it that his sword cuts like a fucking lightsaber
tyyyy bro
After release they MIGHT consider it
The same thing goes for VR
that laugh is diabolical
im kiddin i wish it wont happen
And console support
funny because I posted that once before and that's exactly what someone else said. I am glad to know I have a wicked laugh to pair with my wicked humor lol
half sword mobile when
Honestly I think multiplayer would suck. If they want the physics to interact they'd have to be calculated serverside which means input delay ie the winner is the guy with the least ping in a game like this
would be a nightmare to balance too unless we want it to become polearm wars
Sadly in HEMA you cannot complain about lag but here you fully can
the lock on should be changed so that it stays to an enemy you click on and only switches when you click on the lockon button its very annoying when it locks on to the enemy across the field instead of the guy about to skewer you
Tbh i'd still complain about lag
Waiter waiter! More spearman with no arm armor please!
imagine some guy dropping his weapons and almost surrendering, then immediately spinkicking you in the head
does the abys crash yall when u hit enemies?
i started using slowmo with kicks, and it feels amazing
npe
idk what to do i keep getting fatal error
i js get laggy as hell
Blood gore off and dx11
maybe cause of the problem with people melting
i am not laggy at all but as soon as i hit a mob i get fatal eroor
i'll try that
Your name is actually destroying the chat
Just use gore for sick clips
guys is ther a chat for suggestions
But off for gauntlet
are they going to fix the crashes or am i the only one experiencing them?
no, they never planned on fixing crashes with their game, final release version for sure
I DID IT
still hating him, but i did it
now is time to start using placon and spam it
u killed commoner boss?
btw, whats the best faction?
yep
gratz
I like HRE for more stamina. Great for aggression and heavy armor later
i mean am i the only one experiencing them or nah
pitchfork is always the solution when you get it on his groin
ill be awaiting ur ult challenge rage eagerly
ye its just u
there are some crashes. Mainly in Ultimate Challenge. Turning off blood and sometimes gore will help
Agreed, my guy used to fall over due to lack of stamina in the later tiers
just beat the commoner boss >:)
whas the game updated recently?
most infuriating fucking game i have touched, What the hell do you mean he grabbed the weapon and now its stuck behind his back
💔
they cut me right through the shoulder to the leg
It's really good when you learn the controls chum
Is it just me or is the first boss the hardest fight compared to the next 3 after
are they going to add using your sword like a hammer?
like the pommel and crossgaurd
it got stuck behind his back when i changed grip man that cannot be my fault💔
left + right click simultaneously 😉
why have you been playing the game for sixty hours in a row
are you okay?
the next twomad
god dude what a worm i fucking hate willy so much
Man try changing grip on polearms fairly frequently.. there's some mad jank there lol
thats half sword grip i mean like you use the crossgaurd like a hammer
Keep the point high and thrust with alt?
You mean flip the thing around? you have shit grip doing that
"let me just hold the sharp edge of a knife and club you with the handle"
its a historical stance used against armored aponents
how to use halfsword trainer mod
In the German school of swordsmanship, Mordhau, alternatively Mordstreich or Mordschlag (in German literally "murder-stroke" or "murder-strike" or "murder-blow"), is a half-sword technique of holding the sword inverted, with both hands gripping the blade, and hitting the opponent with the pommel or crossguard. This technique allows the swordsman...
thats mordschalg
its called mordhau
and its a terrible game
?
