medium graphics?
i think
or high. not cinematifc
cinematic*
what about some duke from thr 1500s named Bartholomew.
Why are my shadows grey and yours blue 
or whatever
guys i pulled of the swish and swoosh
his name was
1984 this is the political debate floor of the world we are super influential
¯_(ツ)_/¯
whats yalls favorite weapon
Willie for president
mines personally the spiky stick or the heavy axe
LONGSWORD
nerd
longsword
wha
the curved long pickaxe that always gets fucking stuck in someone's head
duck you mister tutel
i'm sorry but getting a three point chain is absolute cinema
the lil pickaxe?
I literally keep that thing on me just to stab someone with and run
It's a one hander with a pickaxe that goes diagonal
yea i always just leave it in someone
FR I LOVE THAT THING
Beautiful weapon
or go thru hell trying to take that thing out
sad its abyss only tho
You can actually do a lot of damage bluntly if you don't pen
or just wait before the de-flesh
i also really like the longaxe because It's just soooo fun
willie doesnt like defleshing :C
yea the heavy axe
i just slice everyone in half on the first hit
its so op
like extremly op
big axe is objectively the best in half sword at separating limbs (exept scythe)
longsword once you get to man at arms and they are like leg magnets they take them shits off like no one's business
i playtest i once got bored and got past the barricades by smashing my head on them multiple times
willie after i make him smash his skull 42 times into the wooden fence.
am i alone now
btw any tips on commoner boss
shove something pointy into his torso or neck
most of the time he just slices me in half
or just nick his neck
anyone know how to reset your rank progress
?
that was a bit freaky
How beat commoner boss tell now
Petition to add Vlad the Impaler to Halfsword
wallah there was nothing freaky about that
what has bro been watching
Pitchfork --> Commoner boss belly
OR
Sword --> bait out a vertical swing --> Chop hand off
i just wait till he swigns then show him what london is just wait for the right moment
Thanks guys
lol
who tf gave him that massive sword bro
you could always slow down time
i feel like that doesnt do much
it takes a ton of stamina to
and if u fall infront of commoner boss
its over
slowing down time is useful for baiting out the overhead
are you holding down shift by any chance
if you are then you could time the overhead and go in when its down
Where is half sword multiplayer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
do not swing until the other swings and you know you can counter it, and move your weapon slightly slower in slow mo than you would normal speed, that helps yoy follow through on swings in slow mo
its gonna be 80% randomly swing in every direction 20% HEMA
what is the rarest thing willie can say?
ragamuffin
mine sure aint
how much hours do you have on the game
roughly 20 by now
strange
wait no, 19
and your willie hasnt said ragamuffin
it has just more rarely than the others
have they fixed the crashes yet in abyss mostly? couldnt play properly due to them
only place i have crashes now is ultimate challenge
has there been an update recently? i think i last played like 3weeks ago was getting alot of crashes in abyss
i havent crashed once in abbys
so idk
dam idk why i kept crashing in abyss like as soon as one of the enemies hit the ground
i have an old laptop but this game must have some sort of memory leaks it shouldnt be this slow/buggy
well might be because of the laptop
i have a new good pc and ive never crashed
BUT
so does my friend and he crashes in abyss too
idk
nice pic lmao
Try turning down/off blood
What pic
Ohhhh
..
I get it
Please
Hahaha.
How do i play in the arena instead of the abyss
@spring river Its available in the 5th class. Cant remeber the name
cant wait for the update for collisions
we have similar pfps
literally ur pfp but zoomed n and flipped
The name is class 5
You’re welcome
u mean the gore level yea that does lower crashes but dam thats the most fun part of the game i wish they would hurry up and fix this
No I mean blood, it’s a seperate setting from gore
True
i dont see blood settings in menu
Eem
Its in game settings. There is a gore button, it has seperate blood and gore sliders.
yea if u lower blood it just goes back down to gentle
That doesnt matter if you leave the gore slider where it is
ok i just wish they would fix abyss since thats where all my crashes happen
yo i havent been playing for a long time, how do i get that freemode thing where i have to defeat bosses?
The boss mode is called gauntlet. If already have it selected then some of the classes will be greyed out otherwise you can select it on the right of the main menu. Freemode is the mode where you have access to all classes but there is no bosses or progression
Anyone else find it weird that the middle mouse button and scroll wheel don't have a function? I don't know what should be mapped to them, but it makes my scroll wheel feel lonely.
come on and do the twist.
What are yalls FAVORITE tiers/weapons i want something else besides the plancon or greatsword..
This. Had same issue: crashes, low fps (granted, my PC is pretty much a potato now), the usual. Turning off blood sucks, but it makes the game more playable. Hopefully, it will be better optimized to run better on weaker hardware (if not, oh well) by the time the full release comes out.
I love the big, two handed axes. Its fun as hell to cut dudes in half with them.
2 handed mace in the 5th class
./
so i mentioned last night, i know how to disable Lumen and SSR to get huge performance gains
im just gonna post here, idk if a mod could see/pin it or w/e
1.) go to the config folder, should default to AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\Config\Windows
2.) open GameUserSettings.ini
3.) add the following to the bottom:
[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.Lumen.Reflections.Allow=0
r.raytracing.ForceAllRayTracingEffects=0
4.) remember to save, and if it doesn't take set the ini to read-only
beheaded
if youre on 20XX cards or earlier, this could double FPS or potentially triple it (the reflections and light in high tier all armored brawls are super intensive)
how much worse does the game look with that
barely noticable tbh
games with heavy lighting systems for environmental work, like a lot of use of light/shadow/etc (like the new stalker) look a lot worse with lumen disabled
but HS takes place exclusively in a brightly lit arena
SSR is screen-space reflections and the shiny full plate armor will look less pretty but like... its not like youre suddenly playing a game from 2008 or something. its just not that shiny/reflective and doesnt have any real time reflections on it
OH MY GOD I JUST BROKE HIS LEG BACKWARDS
Its a satisfying feeling, isn't it?
i love this weapon
I forwarded it to mod chat, might pin it, I’ll let you know
thanks king, enough people have discussed poor performance that i think it'd be a good add; if nothing else to be able to link to people who ask in here.
candle holder
real
Sent you quick dm whenever you have a minute
it lowers the game looks a lot or not?
Hey! Have some clips!
minimally, armor is leff shiny and doesnt have real-time reflections
i want to like this game but its just too broken man devs need to fix all these crashes asap
just got sent into the abyss, kicked a box, a pitchfork flung at me, stabbed my leg and insta killed me
gahook
just beat the ultimate challenge!
this looks like it could be a movie poster
does it work only for nvidia?
no its an engine-level rendering change. it works on whatever is rendering the game
im taking before and after screenshots rn
..
how are you going with this loot against people with no armor
Does anybody know if there will be an optimization update? It's probably my pc, but the game runs at like 15 fps on gamemodes like small buhurt while i have low settings
OVRDTH
small buhurt lags a lot ig
you think its the game itself or my pc?
game
aight
trying rn let's see if it's gonna work
the crimson pitchfork strikes again
Oh my wille, it works, and so does this means they left raytracing ON all the time???
I can't believe this, little buhurt is still laggy but much better than before after editing this
lads do you think tier 5 2 handed mace vc placon or whatever its called, using conventional styles and tactics, is possible?
i hate pitchfork
Agreed. Forearm shield helps with that, though.
alright SO small tech talk: the default lighting rendering solution in Unreal Engine 5 is something called Lumen, which is a lightweight raytracing/SSR method. Thats why UE5 games always seem to perform badly, because this is the default and changing off it takes effort
so its less that "they left raytracing on", more that they would need to specifically make a non-raytracing lighting solution
Kurva UE5, all my homies hate UE5
yeah
i actually work in game dev so i like to think im fairly knowledgeable about this shit
does it prevent game from crashing for no reasons in ultimate challenge? gonna try tomorow
if nothing else, youll get better frames and it wont make you crash more
alright im testing this tomorow, thanks!
i think its a memory clearing issue with blood/gore that causes the crashign tho
which is why setting it to gentle mode is the go-to fix
gotta say im really glad this worked for you. its barely noticable as a quality drop too, right?
does anyone else keep crashing at the final challenge for gauntlet
just unlocked the purple outfit level finally, will my progress reset if i die on the ultimate challenge??
your progress is fine, once you reach the ultimate challenge your game saves
thank god
why is my willie naked
am gonna try this to see if it helps
lmk if it works for you
is there a certain button u have to click to get up fast or its just random
it's random, however if you fall on your back, you'll only get up if you hold W, if you fall on your stomach, you'll only get up if you hold S
ok
i never understood why they made the first boss so hard lmao at least give me a wep in my hand
Usually if you're taking a while to get up it's because you took a blow to the head (either from your opponent or the ground) or you're pretty injured in general
there's a knife in the middle
And other weapons now
If you get lucky and get the large candlestick holder, use that
Jam the pointy bit into his ribs
theres always a big knife in the middle and you can just cut him in half with that
or hook the axe through the feet and pull it out of his hands
that ones always awesome looking as well
reroll until you get max height and just throw his ass around
Step 1: Wait until he attacks, dodge
Step 2: use the knife
perfect
how to send a clip
Step 1: Small Willy
Step 2: Double Buckler
Step 3: Win
An error occured while saving this recording
how to send a clip here
same 
First boss is the easiest thing ever
Yes
recording of my fight with small willy double buckler [its what spawned] didn't save so have a dance on his grave
normal willie just confused why the competition shrunk
I think this boss can die from everything
I think tehy all can, the factor is just skill
HOW TO SEND A CLIP HERE
its like an amber, fully embeded
I CANT
Bro isn't level 3 yet 
How to be level 3
stabbed that man 30 feet away
Really like this longsword, this thing is a meat cleaver
Hello. I have something special for you today, halfsword chat.
A super slow-mo mace hit to the face.
I always forget the "step back" once you land your killing blow rule
Am i the only one who thinks the knife is just ridiculously worse than it should be?
boss music starts. Heavy church organ. Lyrics are in Latin.
Which one
The nice looking ones or the peasant ones
Nice looking meaning daggers
The one you get at the beggining of the final boss fight
Final boss fight
barely ever use those, but probably are better.
You mean the axe guy
I mean the worthless garbage part of the game where you have to start with a fucking knife and beat enemies that are always better equipped than you and miraculously not take a single fucking hit so you're ready to fight the baron
And God this makes me want to uninstall the game
That's not what i meant the abyss is ridiculously easy.
i mean the end of the gauntlet
Don't you get your own weapon when you fight in the higher tiers
That isn't a knife
guys am i the only one who thinks it would be fun if they added a battlepass with skins and backblings
Not in the last one
The knight tier?
Above that.
Well above the knight would be something we haven't unlocked yet unless you are the baron himself
In which case no knife
That's not how it works, after knight you go for the final challenge, of which you start with nothing but a knife.
of which is (if im not mistaken) the same you get as beggar in carnage (the bigger one)
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the commoner (tier 3) boss? It seems like no matter what I do I have to just get lucky. If I try to dodge, I get hit on the backswing. If I try to parry, he just overpowers me and hits anyway
Keep range and follows his movements
See how he swings
Get a good feel then if you have a longsword go into halfsword and get a good stab in
Or maybe cut off a leg
downtier to peasant, get pitchfork, easy.
Big beggar knife is OP
if you just use your range you're 99% garanteed win.
Pretty much
Knives are peak
Distance is huge
You either hit the neck or you have to slash the fuck out of your enemy and goodluck fighting swords with it.
I'll be honest I didn't even know you could downtier
As i said untill swords come in
So if you're not a parry God to somehow parry with a knife and manage to kill (or might be just me with a skill issue that can't parry attacks) you just hold alt and hope npcs are dumb (and often times are) and you get a stab
But now you know
one stab to the abdomen also does the job
hell yeah
It works all the way untill you can unlock the bigger stick.
in fact that's the best strategy ingame, having more reach isn't instantaneously making you win
but it will increace your odds
I haven't not crashed once during the final challenge in gauntlet
does anyone know what causes this
Did you already try using dx11?
You can use the knives to stab with after you parry with your larger primary like showin in that clip i posted earlier but yeah, ranged weapons tend to rule unless youre good at stabbing. Or use grappling to set up your stabs.
yeah it was dx11 the entire time
it happens when I kill a dude
Try turning down/off blood
Seems to fix it for most people
it almost always happens when I kill a specific guy
ok
yeah that sucks
i always thought the game crashed on purpose when i died
switching to dx11 made the game like 90% less painfull
it doesn't even actually crash
it opens a window but the game keeps running
for around a minute
before it automatically closes instantly
Its a known bug. The blood and gore cause a fatal crash, turning it down or off tends to prevent it.
Everytime i try use it its just a 50/50 if a stab will work, might me just my skill issue tho.
might try doing that later
NOOO R U FRIGGEN KIDDING ME I WAS BOUTTA BEAT THE BARON BUT FATAL CRASH NOAAURRR
WHYYYYYYYYYY
yeah same
im assuming this is common
You have to account for the skeleton, bones can deflect your blade if its not a straight enough angle. But once you get good at stabbing, its the most cheese early game weapon next to the pitchfork.
Can we PLEASE stop getting regular shoe drops in the Ultimate challenge, cant count the number of times i died there cause i was trying to pick up a pole arm and i kept changing shoes...
brazilian luffy dance willie
is that real or larp/conjecture? i always figured stabs glancing off was bad angle or no momentum. considering you can pretty easily cut someone's arm off with a knife i don't think bones are currently much of an obstacle for any cutting weapon
game wise. Arms and legs bones work differently from the chest, its particularly noticable with small weapons like axes and daggers where youll see the blade glance off rather than actually penetrate on some swings/stabs
i assumed this was due to the trunk being roundish, wide, and generally moving away from you and/or strafing you
whereas arms are quite often moving towards you and are much smaller relative to your weapon
really don't think ribs are an obstacle for stabbing in-game
Most annoying part of the game is the completely broken system dying and going to the abyss has
if you hold shift and tap w to give yourself some momentum even the smallest knife plunges in quite easily if they're not strafing around you
Yeah but at the end of the game its hard to just take so many enemies without getting hit
You fight all the way back up to your level and then are sent back to peasant anyways because fuck you
would be cool though if that kind of thing is eventually modeled
Theyre not, just the solar plexis really. Heres a good example where the last stab glances off his bones into his neck
how do you dodge the spears in uc? when i have the plancon they just stab me, idk how to dodge it
Shift+S
Or Shift plus A
Thats more luck than anything. If by the third enemy you don't have a decent weapon and still stuck with a knife on the ultimate challenge its gg. just reroll.
im too slow tho
Or Shift+d
i can do it when i have no weapons
Yeah
You dont dodge it, use your plancon to control/parry their weapon. Or just go for a head bonk at an angle.
i just hate how luck based it is
hard to tell with embedded video player on my phone but that looks to me like the wound is right on the collar bone
It starts at his chest, then moves up into his neck/collarbone. Doesnt penetrate at all but contact with the neck kills him.
jarvis, analyze his frames.
i wish we had more solid info on what is modeled/how damage system works
I really need to train stabbing ingame
my head canon is you nicked jugular along collarbone
Its by far one of the most effective things in the game
and that's why his neck isn't bleeding but he does a half hearted throat slit reaction
tapping w has really made it a lot more consistent for me
Hello guys I'm relatively new to this game
aiming is tough but once it clicked that wasd gives bodily momentum more than might be visible it got a lot easier to make effective strikes
I already know that by the single fact if you hold alt and just hold your weapon forward and rush in your enemy, no matter what enemy is it if he isn't armored you got some chance of just easily killing
for precise aiming of stabs you can pre wind up a stab
when you're safe, ready weapon, hold alt, and extend your stab at least about halfway
let go of alt
now you can tap alt to auto stab to same length
double click stabbing can be very effective as well with enough practice, but alt is more accurate. This was a click stab.
the stab memory blew my fucking mind, you can do a lot of stuff with it
overhead checks/taps by tapping alt are fun
What is everyone's go to weapon
Also this is insane
Heres my favorite clip ❤️
probably peasant axe
not particularly strategy-effective but damn is it fun
Depends. If i want consistent wins, billhook or volgue. If I want to parry or experiment with defensive longsword.
When i get to embed perms with leveling ill sent some of my favorite clips
I love the pitchfork LMAO
I prefer the latter
voulge is pretty solid
You might enjoy these
cant wait until we get the weapon customization in the main game
Beautiful
god it always feels good to get a clean throat-shot
short pitchfork. about the size of most 1 handers.
it would be a weapon of mass destruction
Wanna make a trident so I can cosplay as poseidon
I cut the farmer boss in half with a knife
'Here, lets just put that back...mhm, looks fine.'
So clean, so fresh
he needs some marigolds
I need to test somethin out. I got dempsey rollin once.
Certified hoodlum classic
Is bridge map out yet?
H o w
Samurai ahh draw
Hell yeah! lol
the weebs are here, the weebs are here
how do i stop willie from letting go of spears with one hand and holding them behind him like an idiot?
Pray the devs listen and improve spear handling
That's impressive
Willy Revere shortly before succumbing to his wounds
Just trying to relax, and these damn commoners keep challenging me.
i know this may sound like me being a suckup for being bad at the game
but make reasonable saves
just got to man of arms
and then died
and then had to restart my hour of work'
😭😭
the final version 😈
Hard: Bosses, and enemies don’t have the body endurance of paper.
Easy: Harder to die, enemies can give up
LOL! He got stabbed by his own sword for extra damage at the end
Hard:
Game declares you dead much quicker
you’re cooked if knocked over
Enemies don’t give up
Enemies have an insane amount of health.
Easy:
Enemies have the endurance of paper
Dismemberment is easier
Willie sucks at using using 2 weapons or 2 handed weapons
wow very nice and clean
how bro
I beat golden boss in gauntlet after my game fatal errored popup but game stayed open. was on wave before golden guy last guy then got the golden dude and unlocked next rank held G then game crashed now im back at begger after reopening?
anyone got any help?
golden is to easy
its the new update lol
wait wats the new update
Lub me halberd. Simple as
0.6
wat?
v0.6
please observe the insane balancing act
idk what is in vo.6
are u sure
its beautiful
do i have to update it or smth
neh
dang
its basically mouse acceleration
all i know is i have the biggest sword in the game
its one of them main reason why I struggle to have precise gameplay
how
theres a tab in game that sllows you to choose the size of ur weapon with sliders
idk u buddy and im talking to my friends in VC ill get u a video
who pinged
its now closed
idk how to do that
.
Is Half Sword Enhancer safe?
yep
Okay thanks
is there more to punching people than just holding down both buttons and wiggling?
has anyone tried... i dunno. holding alt for straight jabs?
i wanna know more
how do you reset your settings
SD
I think punching hooks are only possible in this game (for now atleast).. But.. you can somehow throw a jab/straight punch... Somehow.
yikes i posted thumbnails instead of the actual screenshot
hold on
.
is it a cheat or just a qol?
@deep shale
you can land some mean left/right hooks
and you can uppercut
This too is possible
thanks
i have broken both of his arms and both of his legs
i do know about the spin kicks and the ballista punches
I was just wondering if people were out there doing palm strikes or some shi
no armor bare skin
ok i just cut a guy in half with one hit of the peasant knife
btw guys, if you guys have enhance pointer precision on, turn it off, it ruins the smooth gameplay
idk why I didn't figured that out earlier
it messes with your strike
and miss alot
Not a bad idea to implement more variation on hand-to-hand combat perhaps... Could be a good suggestion
first thing i do in new pcs/ recently formatted
ye
I also make this thread so that people are aware of something that messes with their own gameplay
https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1369484172434997288
even in many other games, they recommended to turn it off
Tis' nothing but a flesh wound
holy fuck
does anyone know
it's that one crawling titan from aot
reminds me of that one cartel video
weirdos

Bro what did you even hit him with for the man to end up like that
do you think its possible to beat the game as a beggar
Yea move your mouse up and down on the y axis
probably
It would be hell
this is not doing anything to the other guy
im losing even
theirs no way your flapping your arm up and down bro 😭
i may be stupid
hey, how do i choose my faction?
omg........ are u serious half sword doesn't use raw?
last one is Bohemia
pretty sure
Based on coat of arms
though idk why hre and Bohemia separately
When does the game take place don’t even know
How do I deal with armor?
aim for the open spots
Is there an in lore reason why the fighters seemingly get a tent in their crotch at random?
or use a bludgeoning weapon like a mace
Go for the legs
Got to Veteran for the first time!
adrenaline brick
sometimes we sync up and i feel connected
Joins funny game discord, expecting basic updates and people discussing upcoming action and game modes. "adrenaline brick" is the first words I read besides the faq
no need to thank me
Perfect community before game release smh
tbh i have not found a ton of tips or good discussion in here since i joined but someone said like an hour ago this game apparently doesn't use raw mouse input which is crazy and good to know
haven't tried it myself but turn off enhance pointer precision in windows settings and u may find it easier to control
I've noticed the delay but I only have like an hour atm
MAN AT ARMS!
how do i glitch the king into peasant levels?
in the half sword trenches rn
trying to find a sword technique that works for me
ive noticed plow guard works good for me
the end goal could be to make all positions work for you. It surely is good to practice each, but try not to rely too heavily on any one position.
“Doth thou have any ibuprofen? I hath a ache in my head”
I had to go to the abyss and lost my hands so I just had to use my legs and boot fucked everyone one I saw and made it back
suddenly like 10 times harder rn
i was on a roll today
i think its the LOUD ASS MUSIC
I am in the process of making a meme with some of my own images and images from the community-
if anybody has any screenshots they think will go well with any of these "headache" themes, dont hesitate to ping me with em!
I like to look at 'guards' as positions. I feel like calling them guards leads to believing they are static, or mainly a defense. If you see them as positions in a series of movements, you can start looking at how they transition to each other. And once you start focusing more on the movements rather than the static positions, it comes together much better.
bro how do you become the king in peasant mode
Is there a way to play against the regular AI, not in ultimate challenge mode?
I just want to fight peasant to peasant again lol
nvm i figured it out
how?
Free Mode
this is really helpful, thank you
ah ok
Perhaps any of these might work? 
Oh snap I totally didn't see that there lol
just leave while you're ingame as the king then join back and go back to free mode, dont change anything and press play
enjoy abusing your power
yeh i can for sure use one or two of these
wicked
will i get banned for glitch abusing?
nah lol youre fine, its a singleplayer game- theres even some mods you can get for it!
Thanks gangie
@worn heron one more xd
yee the demo is the most up to date build
head empty 🥀
How do I set up free play where I can choose what weapon I have and stuff with the demo
Parental 💀 not necessarily an actual submission bc its not great, just funny lmao
multiplayer mod?
Tis' nothing but a light headache
There's a splitscreen mod for the original demo, not sure if its updated. But it's still all local, there's no online
How do I set up free play where I can choose what weapon I have and stuff with the demo?
I just realized how brutal this actually looks, holy shit
Click freeplay, on the right side of the menu
pretty much what reclaimer said is the best i know!
besides that, official splitscreen is planned!
Oo I totally forgot about that lfg

Hi there people
Welcome
Did bows exist during half sword’s tine period?
Thanks bro
lol
What? No
Bows werent invented til 1873
And that would be one hell of a thing to balance
that means locally right?
Oh he means real life
At that point the very early gun prototypes were being made prob
Ye
if your ping and connection are stable enough you could probably do screen share solutions like on steam
damn real? Nah im pretty sure guns didnt exist til 1993
ranged weaponry is planned for the final version of the game 
I think... The first bows were made 15.000 years ago
Not quite sure
You kidding?
the first iteration of the matchlock gun actually falls in line with halfswords timeframe of the 15th century
That’s way off by like a century
thank you for answering my questions

tis what we are here for
A century lol
The fact that the sword suddenly turned into blunt weapon is crazy considering NPC barely touch you with one of these and cut you in half
lucky
the mini axe:
Which mini axe
The peasant one?
X2
The itch version it worse
There's like fifteen small axes
Tap a willie on the head with a sharp weapon and their head pops off, no struggle
This an official leak?
wym
W H A T
It's not
That looks old
i’ve never seen that version
1 level above that
Wouldn't call it luck. ; )
Commoner
Is there a mini axe there?
I don't think so
Even if it was real, console version isn’t prob ready bc that shows controller hooked up to a pc, not native console
sorry bro but youre bang average
yeah man i’m preeetty sure it’s showcasing local split screen co op
Crazy head shot tho
I'd call it luck
I like commoner on freemode as it has the highest death chance for you and highest death chance for the enemy, no fancy armor. Just pure skill
Bro you've been a huge yapper
Fr
no the armored one
+no annoying ploarms
its the peasant one but has more blade
Militia?
I just found old gameplay footage of mine from the playtest, I always wondered if jumping in Half Sword would be possible 
Not necessarily needed but, would be cool maybe
Just you and the weapon, and a rotting corpse infront of you.
I do love yapping
But i do have knowledge
I am a knowledgable yapper
yep
idk which one it is exactly
Jumping is always possible, but i mean hulk-like jumps
Why even
I think i know wich one you mean
All you'll see is a ton of arenas
The highest form of cooked is being knocked down, 1 leg, disarmed, and your enemy is the baron
And yes it is one hell of a small bastard
Sounds about right
Just a good wack and you'll be BRAINING willie
That was me last abyss run (except for 1 leg even tho the game didn’t give me leg armor)
Or randomly loosing a limb and falling in brave stand
Or just when you got the Baron figured out, you get a fatal error and your game ends up crashing
Ye, while we’re at it, im sure 90% of players like to go for the guy on the rightmost side
Inches away from victory
Luckily for me, I was able to beat him last minute. It was either I cook or get cooked
Literally
That's just horribly depressing
I like to get close to him so his polearm swings don’t knock me over
Most of the time is a bad idea because of that deadly hook at the end
He butchered my throat when i tried that
I never get hit by it so I forget it’s there
Lucky
Idk why, but I think people who think commoner boss is harder than Baron have massive skill issue
Just juke or block
I'd say they're equal tbh
Watch backhand of the gods and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
RRAAAAH
What?
Bro even the Veteran boss is harder than the commoner boss
You know another boss that is more unfair if you think about it is the v0.4 executioner (April 1st)
All bosses are kinda easy
Idk what you experienced fighting that boss but he knocked me down as i was his young sibling
Every single time
They expected me to beat a mf with a massive axe with a small knife, they didn’t even give you a cleaver
It really all depends on the weapon you're using tbh, but for the Commoner boss specifically you really need alot of patience and discipline to find an opening. Rushing towards him and swinging around recklessly would get you killed
The Commoner boss was hell to fight against
Even now
I usually rank down and use the peasant rake
Atleast with the Baron, you have some armor to protect you
Unlike in the Commoner, you really need to be more careful
You mean the grim reaper looking guy?
Yeah this works too
No the guy with helmet and massive axe
Ok that's for real difficult
Wait really? I managed to beat him with just metal gloves
In v0.4 you didn’t have loot, the game only gave you the weakest knife in the game
Well, the baron he can literally just blunt the ship out of you but, yeah, you're right
And it was in the middle of the arena, not spawned with you
Ohhh
So people easily got decapitated trying to grab it
Yeah Barons pretty dangerous too, the only disadvantage he has is when he cant control his weapon cause of how fucking massive it is
Some including me didn’t even know the game even gave you a knife
Bc how small it was and how well it blended in
The executioner can catch these hands then
How heavy that golden halbers could be if it was actually made out of gold?
As a matter of fact I'm gonna try that rn
His weapon stats are basically.
Strength: 8
Knock down: 15
Handling: 3

True
And i mean his endurance would depent but i'd give him a 7
I actually did an experiment and put baron against random enemies
His strat is just bonk on the head
It’s pretty effective for him
But somehow not for us
I mean you can just switch to half sword grip and move the halberd left to right in wild swings and everyone is going down with that
just me or am i still struggling with the first boss
And when I put him up against commoner boss he somehow lost bc he has a little gap between his helmet and chestplate
But in regular grip that thing is uncontrollable
And commoner boss somehow sliced his neck
Uh... Just... There's a knife in the middle
Whait for him to swing and stab him
You'll die a couple of times but it simply just works
yeah thats what ive been doing but i keep on getting sliced in half
W H A T?
I was dumbfounded too
Prob wont happen for another couple months
Okay you're welcome buddy, i dont know, just brawl him or something, try to kill him, keep going
Go get him tiger
My strat is to knock over bosses and keep hitting their head
Thats how I deal with bosses easy
I mean sometimes sharp weapons just randomly spawn inside armour
maybe its because i only used peasant in playtest i just got cut in half
And kill the guy inside
Yeah the middle part of swords are wonky
And it’s possible for a stab to go through armor
Kick them in the face and they will be begging fot mercy
Nah I do the forbidden crotch kick
i wonder if its possible to use the ovrdth to get the paddle in free mode?
@marsh sandal @grand thicket
Remember when kicks were comically broken?
XDDDD
Spin kicks
I wish I could say this was my first attempt, but it wasn't 🗿
This one was my first attempt:
Idk
bro hit him with the serious punches
Okay that was unfair
alright fuck halfsword devs for not fixing this im serious
i have everything, on low
this is ridiculous
EVERYTIME
i've gotten to this point
a crash.
i cant get anywhere near the baron without a crash
like do you not understand how upsetting this is
What’s ur gore level
Okay that's true
it was at MIDDLE
Oh nah
yeah you gotta turn it down to gentle
cause otherwise it'll crash for some reason
both blood and gore iirc
That takes the fun out of it
bro its impossible to know when you kill someone
I think they got slowler bc at first they were lightning fast
They dissolve into the ground when they die
thats the only way to get past gauntlet without crashes
and you could still just beat them on the ground lol
i mean like, damage wise
idk if what i do does damage
and its just extremely boring
I think it's more like a problem of almost losing a limb and stumbling for aparently no reason but yeah
THERE'S A STARMAN WHAITING IN TE SKY
Bro is it just me or past soldier the abyss is impossible
fr
tilt him slightly and you get a good willievincible
HE'D LIKE TO COME AND MEET US
i just got peasant then got killed by a pitchfork then got a fatal error
Look at him go!!!!
Someone pls tell me because I hate it when Im about to get to the highest rank and I die by tripping on a sword on the ground
Bro idk, just dont rush at them and keep distance then
Of move out of their way
Me who got to baron first try on abyss (I got destroyed due to no leg protection at all)
Fr so hard to find armor
I'd say skill issue but i havent see you fighting
And then u fall over and 4 guys start stabbing you
The fall over part is crazy but I can solo 3 guys at around man at arms rank
generally i feel like its the first few tiers that are most difficult
Im completely stuck on man at arms
i die for the stupidest reasons
Like one guy barely stabbed my arm and I died immediately
Wait abyss or gauntlet
Gauntlet
And then all my progress gets reset
Because I get sent to the abyss and chopped to bits
Yeah but somehow I die anyway
Crazy, gives off the same vibes when I witnessed a commoner boss kill Baron
bro i was just trying to have fun as a giant in abyss but apparently this breaks the boss (and crashes your entire computer.)
I have Skill issue
The bosses are super easy after commoner
Commoner boss is terrifying
nah man the longsword boss is gen the worse in my case
each time i try to swing at it, either my arm or legs get cuts off
yeah even though he has no armor
I learned you have to stab him
But even then its really hard
Okay i guess too many people yap about the commoner boss
I dont get it
They need to nerf him fr
Even harder than beggar boss when the new demo first came out
Well it would be fair if they gave him a logsword instead of a montante
The difficulty of bosses is like.
Beggar: 1
Peasant: 0
Commoner 5-6
Milita: 3
Veteran: 3
I forgor this rank: 4-5
Man at arms: 2-3
Soldier: 0-1
Baron 6-8
Militia boss ez 1
Just hit his legs and you’re good
okay i realized i made a mistake and got confused
i was talking about the same thing.
not again...
yeah ik
ffs
Soldier is ez bc knock them over then hit their head alot
turn yr blood down
It’s like their armor is their downfall
yeah
even when the blood is down sometimes it still happens
HEAR ME OUT
Two anded axe
Juat hit that pitch fork as hard as you can, rush it and kill that bastars
Bastard*
I have an awakened form in half sword, it’s so powerful that normal punches can rip the clothes and skin off of people, and dents armor easily
I think you mean the poor man's hallberd
Bro turned the npc damage up 😎😎😎😹😹😹
No on soldier
I dont know how is it called too
Yeah that one
Nah, i use hs enhancer (10x dmg)
What?
Bro delete that
bro i want the creator of the enhancer mod to make it so the possess actually switches the player
You're getting banned
Max npc dmg doesn’t do crap to clothes and skin, and forget about denting armor
cuz right now if you possess someone its not really switching. It just makes you control the enemy and your og self still transfers damage
Okay lets hope a mod is not here
I WANNA PLAY AS A GIANT IN ABYSS BUT IT JUST BREAKS
I finally defeated the Baron after a week of trial and error
Then just brawl them down as a regular willie
I mean fighting people with weapons being unarmed is fun sometimes
Idk i really like hand to hand combat
dude idk how to respond
THESE HANDS
I wanna play as a giant because its fun asf, but if you get to the boss it breaks.
thats what im trying to say
I know
then why tell me to play as regular willie?
what factions are you guys playing
Why not
because i wanna have fun and try something different.
France
Then i dont know man im not a modder
Found a giant mod that works
Im pretty sure there's a bunch of them
wym you found a giant mod-
theres like 2 pages on nexus and none of them are a standalone giant mod
i use half sword enhanced but possessing in abyss crashes your game
i do to, but possessing works
but when the possessed willie goes to the boss then yeah
shit breaks
you’re in 8 mutual servers as me 
DAMN
Im basically new to the game and discord, I got a little question. Whats the abyss for? I thought it was for keeping a rank or something but aparently not or im doing something wrong
it’s basically the gulag
kill everyone up to where you died to regain your rank
Well that escalated quickly
Oh damn so basically im having a major skill issue XD
Instant KO o_O
I swear, left hooks are so overpowered 🗿
i have arrived
no deadass
Welcome
It do be like that
bonk
@wanton hemlock Right hooks do work sometimes tho 
yes, but still
I love the fact he was able to grab my hand on my first attempt
Second attempt, bonk
meanwhile my ass
runs in
DODOOM
gone
after 800hrs of play I'm finally learning to block & parry
good stab
Very nice indeed
lol the game seems to really hate it when you jack the damage way up. noticing a lot more weird force physics and my character quite literally going weak at the knees, even at round start.
Did you just headbutt him..?
Is it just me or is armored combat kinda boring it's just like a slap fight to see who knocks who onto the ground first
dAMN
yes
it is not just you brother
first time getting back to man at arms from abyss 
I want like abyss but only up to the scythe boss then it doesn't progress anymore
wow, hammers and maces feel pretty decent with the damage sliders boosted.
first time knight YEA
do you got games on yo phone
i finally fucking did it after 15 h
