So, I just unlocked ultimate challenge. I’m a little confused why my Willie is very fragile compared to the others, not just in the sense of how much punishment he can take, but by how he seems to trip over everything. What exactly changes in ultimate challenge?

urban jackal
#

i trpped on my own sword

#

Bro the commoner boss is SO op

#

every other boss is easy

but man

#

theres no opportunities to counterattack he just keeps swinging

visual rivet
#

pitchfork and slow-mo stabbings

coarse remnant
#

chose the sword and ive been winning all the gulags lol

#

gonna pray i get a lucky hit

For me the pitchfork seems to work the best for the boss so I dunno

It can still happen with no gore and blood but you have more time and there's less of a chance

coarse remnant
#

using medium on directx12 crashes the game for me when i die and go to abyss

elfin abyss
#

i know im not stupid

coarse remnant
#

Game looks better on dx12 btw

#

for some reason the shadows and colors are better

#

dunno why

#

the shadows are darker and the game looks more colorful

#

the contrast i mean

blazing gull
#

hey guys

#

i love halfsword

elfin abyss
#

elfin abyss
blazing gull
#

hes def the hardest i think

#

casue axe and sycthe guys you can dodge

#

and once you get some form of armor the bosses are easier

elfin abyss
#

commoner boss is easy if you know how to predict moves

blazing gull
#

im not good at that

elfin abyss
#

dude i cannot get a single hit to make a guy fall down like wat????

coarse remnant
coarse remnant
#

he swings too fast

#

and i get 1 tapped

#

ill parry a move

#

but theres no way to counter attack after

elfin abyss
#

because i wait for them to swing then i attack

urban jackal
#

but nvidia recording is dogass

i grabbed my sword and died

modest whale

look who's begging now

elfin abyss
#

ONE HIT THEN I GET KNOCKED DOWN

#

WHAT IS TAHT BULLSHIT

digital dome
#

yo how do you fix the grusome level glitch

#

its not letting me start the game or get past the selection screen

golden moss
#

Alright, well, just beat the baron on normal damage. I hadn't really attempted the ultimate challenge in a while, I was just in free mode practicing with swords and polearms. Then jumped in and beat it in like four tries, three of which I died almost immediately to pitchforks or the long hook polearms.

urban jackal
elfin abyss
#

they need to fix the damn game

urban jackal
#

its a demo

#

they did mention its WIP

digital dome
#

even when i delete the game and redownload i cant access it

golden moss
#

They mostly just need to tweak the physics.

digital dome
#

it just has me stuck on the gore level screen in the begining

golden moss
#

You can just randomly go flying at times, for no real reason.

#

Plus the damage is somewhat inconsistent at times with bladed weapons.

urban jackal
#

he fell and then broke his neck on the fence

#

crazy

elfin abyss
#

im fucking done with this game

rustic steppe
#

It just need balancing bro trust

elfin abyss
urban jackal
#

its early release

#

in demo

#

so yeah it will be

golden moss
#

The game is addicting, but when the physics decide to fuck you over, especially in the gauntlet, it's extremely frustrating.

rustic steppe
#

i think they just need to fix the spaghetti legs and ill enjoy it a lot more

urban jackal
#

if it annoys you that much then download half sword enchancer

coarse remnant
#

and how op pitchforks and spears are

golden moss
#

Just the physics in general. Overall it works, but when it decides to mess up it messes up bad. That's the drawback of really advanced physics systems.

rustic steppe
#

bro swat the spear away not too difficult 😭

elfin abyss
rustic steppe
#

coarse remnant
#

u barely get grazed and die in 1 second

#

some of these attacks should NOT be killing me

#

dying from a small leg wound

golden moss
#

The spears aren't crazy bad, but the pitchfork is absolute nonsense. Unless you also have a pitchfork, it's almost a guaranteed death. You can try to bait an overhead attack, but it's no guarantee.

coarse remnant
#

the spears are ok

stiff pewter
coarse remnant
#

pitchfork is insane tho

coarse remnant
urban jackal
#

why is everyone complaining

rustic steppe
#

yea pitchfork is op bc u cant smack it away, u always end up in the middle and wille cant push his arms forward for some reaon

stiff pewter
golden moss
#

Unless you have something of decent reach, trying to smack it away can just get one of the prongs stuck in your arm.

coarse remnant
#

the spear is ok because its atleast easy to swat away

urban jackal
coarse remnant
#

the pitchfor is SO aids

if no one complains how are they supposed to fix the unbalanced stuff?

ok send a clip plz

#

swatting pitchfork away

#

Deadass the only way to win against it is to run around and pray to everything u love they miss

elfin abyss
#

they need to nerf the pitchfork because that mf was locked onto my ass

urban jackal
coarse remnant
#

you press alt z

#

then do the sdo

rustic steppe
#

yea spear u can counter ez but pitchfork is the only way to beat commoner boss

coarse remnant
#

do

elfin abyss
#

the pitchfork is fucking stupid dude

urban jackal
coarse remnant
golden moss
#

I mean, I understand what you're saying about smacking it away, but you need a weapon of longer reach to do that, which on the level that pitchfork is on, is only another pitchfork. I guess there's the axe too, but that thing is awkward as hell to swing accurately at times.

urban jackal
#

are you actually kidding man

It perfers the guy farther away

elfin abyss
warped apex
#

Yes he will do that to you

warm void
golden moss
#

My personal recommendation, just practice with the sword with no armour, and the polearms. It gives you a VERY good sense of how move in an out to avoid damage from shorter bladed weapons, and how to maintain distance with polearms. Like I said, I just spent a few weeks having fun doing that, then I jumped into the ultimate challenge and beat it in only a few tries.

warped apex

I just want a manual lock on 😭

Go into a 2 on 1 fight, It'll always perfer the guy behind the man close to you lol

#

sometimes after winning a match I run face first into the fence and give myself a concussion because I find it exceptionally goofy

just please look at the people near me that are actual threats

Should I play this game with a steam deck

golden moss
#

The lock on IS annoying, but if you get used to keeping your distance from groups it's not too bad.

late phoenix
urban jackal
#

makes it hard to lock on

#

i think turning it down helps a lot

golden moss
#

I normally play on single combat, so I can't say entirely for sure, but I keep it at like 1/4 strength.

#

Maybe 1/3.

urban jackal
#

i mostly play carnage because slaughtering the bodies is fun

golden moss
#

But in the ultimate challenge I barely noticed it, since I got used to it at the level it was on.

urban jackal
#

i think the crash occurs because theres too many objects

#

might be wrong

glad sparrow
#

does this hurt the willie?

elfin abyss
#

im deleeting this game if i dont beat it

golden moss
#

The game is so damn fun when it works, I think just a bit more tweaking could perfect it.

urban jackal
#

download half sword enhancer if you want

#

makes getting up much easier

My only gripe with base game is that you can't choose your damn weapon, even in free mode. It's only ever random.

#

What is Half-Sword supposed to be as a full game? A fighting simulator?

warped apex
#

yes

#

but maybe one day modders may do something grand to it... Definfetly not hoping for a dungeon like exanima

golden moss
#

I'm just imagining an RPG game with these combat mechanics. Would be godly.

#

THAT was my thought too, Derp.

warped apex
#

Half-Exanime woulds slap hard

rancid sluice

Exanima definitely is part of the inspiration (obviously)

warped apex

Exsword would hard

would go hard*

There's another game I play called Gladio Mori, and it's a bit jank, but it gives me a similar feeling to this game.

I like that game, but it's not the same.

warped apex
#

Only if exanime was first person 😭

#

but Halfswords combat is 10x better

golden moss
#

Correct.

rancid sluice
#

I hesitate to go that far yet

warped apex
#

exanimas physics though...

#

gawtdamb

golden moss
#

Physics based combat is superior in every way, but there's different levels to it.

rancid sluice
#

Half Sword combat is a little janky rn

#

I anticipate that it will definitely surpass Exanima on completion though

warped apex
golden moss
#

When Half-Sword is fully realized, I think it'll be quite possibly the greatest combat system ever devised.

warped apex
#

funnily enough isn't exanima getting to 1.0 soon?

IT IS?!

Hasn't Exanima been in hiatus for like... ever?

I don't know if Half Sword is like an active threat to Exanima since they are still fundamentally different games but it wouldn't surprise me if Exanima devs decide to step up before an official Half Sword release

warped apex
#

I love both of them and wish both do well

#

Whats the diff between Halfsword Demo and playtest the new ones

warped apex
#

both are unique

warped apex

Does playtest Look beter with sword clashing? or the demo

rancid sluice
#

Demo overall looks better I would say

golden moss
#

I was playing the DEMO demo for a while, when it was just the abyss, and DAMN the physics have improved.

warped apex
#

playtest has better control, But the new demo has better damage

glad sparrow
#

exanima is definitely more challenged by an in genre competitor like kenshi being popular than half sword, half sword is like... I don't know what it even threatens

My best "parries" are when I step in and cut the guy's hand off as he swings the sword down.

Could also be a Mod

With practice I can do it relatively consistently.

#

It's also a good way to step in and cut the head off when you dodge an overhead swing.

glad sparrow

The best parry i got was when a dude whent overhead i block it in halfsword Hit him with the hilt of the sword Kicked his balls Then He landed perfectly in my sword Through the slit of his helmet

I know it's not exactly the same, but POLEARM parries are fucking NICE, dude.

And also i did clash It was enemy doing overhead down And i did a Underhand Up Causing the Clash/Parry

can someone explain to me how to parry "corectly"?

Please fix the fucking physics and wobbly bullshit already. Every time I try the demo I can only play for like 5 minutes before getting too frustrated to continue. It's just so annoying and QWOP-like to play now. There is no fine control over anything anymore.

On what year is halfsword based on?

quartz pilot
quasi gale
shut falcon
#

ah look at that

#

Half Sword is an immersive, physically simulated medieval combat game that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe. With its innovative gameplay mechanic, players can use their mouse to control their swords, allowing them to feel the intensity of each battle as they rise through the ranks and face off against formidable opponents.

#

assuming you kill your opponents in other means

tender quest
#

I cant seem to download the demo on Steam, is that a known thing?

jolly vine
#

that's the suggestion I got given and I haven't crashed since

the ground does a lotta damage

coz when you're falling from top rope

#

if i die in the ultimate challenge i restart?

rancid sluice
#

if you already have a copy of half sword in your steam library, maybe try uninstalling it

halcyon lintel
#

Thank you

rancid sluice
#

lmao no prob

errant fossil
#

when are they gonna add american mode to half swrod

hexed pasture
#

If you uninstall half sword and re-install do you keep your data?

#

I have baron and dont feel like re doing that

rancid sluice
#

what are you uninstalling for?

#

i suppose you could do the reverse of the save wipe

#

just create a backup of the SG Gauntlet Progress.sav instead of deleting it

hexed pasture
#

aah okay

rancid sluice
#

feels good when it works

raw finch
#

in abyss do you have to fully kill the npc to get the score

#

or can u just down him and stil earn it

rancid sluice
#

nah they don't have to die fully

#

just as long as they are no longer pursuing you i think it counts

Tips for ultimate challenge

rancid sluice
#

don't die

#

also turn blood off

gaunt cedar
#

But I like the blood

rancid sluice
#

then get ready to crash. a lot.

gaunt cedar
#

Ok

#

trying this again come say hi

raw finch

#

Pmo when they got the spiky stick

#

Cus they always 1 tap me

oblique fiber
#

Anyway I can select what class I want to fight against as The Baron?

spiky stick can stab and kill you, or swing and kill you

#

bro, the ultimate challenge AI is insane. I'm so done with the AI charging into me to knock me down

slow jolt
#

man these npcs gotta be wizards

#

how does one stab sever my neck

eager quiver
#

Are you doing ultimate too?

slow jolt
#

no idea

#

i just do gauntlet

bronze dust
#

ultimate challenge is the end of the gauntlet

slow jolt
#

anyway its actually quite funny

#

idk how they do it

eager quiver
#

oh lmao, the game is natually unforgiving, but I've just had this hunch that the Ultimate Challenge AI is tougher on purpose. I'm skeptical that willie is weaker here too?

slow jolt
#

i gotta figure it out too

eager quiver
#

if you're using the purple guy, it's the challenge

naive holly
slow jolt
#

ah, im just doing regular willie

bronze dust
#

I wouldn't say it's the ai being any tougher, it's just more persistent

#

there's like random personality values or something

#

some willies give up sooner than other

slow jolt
#

yeah i was thinking that

#

there was this one willie that wouldnt die after i stabbed him like 8 - 10 times

bronze dust
#

well the damage output isn't changed at all, if it'll kill, it'll kill

#

but like they won't surrender as easily

novel dirge
slow jolt
#

then its just me having a skill issue

naive holly
slow jolt
#

idk why some willies are so easy to kill though

bronze dust
#

a bit, but to be fair! ultimate challenge is difficult

slow jolt
#

some arent

bronze dust
#

it's a battle of attrition

naive holly
#

They have different skill levels its randomized

#

If yall weren't aware

slow jolt
naive holly
#

Or do you mean toughness flesh wise

slow jolt
#

flesh wise

#

i just meant it took me forever to kill this one willie

bronze dust
#

ultimate challenge has you swinging a lot, it's extremely easy to get gassed

But yeah damage is a bit inconsistent

what in the half sword? i got hit in the left arm but took damage to my right arm

gaunt cedar
#

im convinced the ultimate challange npcs could beat goku

#

cus how in the hell am I going to slash your legs multiple times but not even cut the clothes

#

but when you lightly tap me with your spear (the stick part) I get hit with the impalment of doom and dispair

#

THE SPEARPOINT DIDNT EVEN TOUCH ME

mint wadi
#

What the fuck

#

I died for this kick

#

It was worth it.

gaunt cedar
#

when I do a full spin roundhouse kick to the enemy but it stops it dead in its tracks (it had the momentum of 20 men) and then proceeds to decapitate me with a simple touch

I EVEN TURNED DOWN PLAYER DAMAGE ALL THE WAY AND UPPED NPC DAMAGE ALL THE WAY AND THEY STILL ARE FUCKING ME UP

because i keep randomizing my weapon

and i get nothing good

if i use the sword he just stands there since he's like 8 feet tall

rancid sluice

push him over

#

he large, he fall easy

im at the ultimate challange, how do i select a militiamen, and fight that same enemy. or am i stuck to forever fight knights until i beat the ultimate challange (impossible because game crashes)

novel dirge

turn off blood to stop the game from crashing

ahhh freemode and not gauntlet. duh

#

i feel unintelligent now haha

novel dirge

dont worry about it

late flower

omg i figured out how to do fast snap cuts

novel dirge
late flower
#

if you hold your guard a bit farther to the side or up and tap alt it does a really fast snap cut and goes back to your guard

nah i dont mind getting destroyed if i only get a knife and they have a spear

peak lava

yes but uhhh

would be cool to maybe see a MP ref one day in the game

After excessive rage, reducing gore and blood to a minimum, and reducing player damage and increasing np damage I am proud to say I beat the baron

11/10 performance

Where people getting those pictures of punching peasants as baron

mint wadi

Glitch where you play as baron, then exit the game, then reload the game, choose baron again and enter.

oh boy im so happy i spent so many years tirelessly learning how to sword fight, I just know ill put it the great us-

idc about decapitations or whatever, i think blunt head trauma is so much funnier

i was doing amazing and my game crashes

#

my computer is not that bad dude

rancid sluice

brother, turn blood off

humble thunder
#

ok twin

rancid sluice
#

it'll save you a lot of agony i promise you

latent palm
#

yall prefer mouse and keyboard or controller for the game.

rancid sluice
#

at least until you finish the challenge

latent palm
#

controller for ease, mouse for higher precision imo

He had it coming.

those dents will buff out it's fine

put him back out on the battlefield

#

Has anyone beaten the Barron challenge without crashing yet

rancid sluice
#

yes, you have to turn blood off

heady cradle
rare hearth
#

try disabling gore too idk

rancid sluice
#

Either that or lower your graphics settings?

warm void
heady cradle
humble bloom
#

fatal errors are all memory related, so anything that reduces memory usage, reduces crashes.
lower graphics, blood, screen resolution.

if you reduce npc damage you'll just make the fight harder and last longer, which might use more memory

heady cradle
#

Is 4 gigs of ram not enough?

I crashed with 32 gbs of memory before

I crashed with 1 million gbs fr fr

I hope the 4gb ram is just a meme lol

I may just be stupid

i aint here to shame anybody

#

but how does one play with 4gbs of ram?

unreal engine is notorious for unoptimized games

Is blood really what causes the fatal error in the game

yes

ive had it multiple times too

because i blew willy's brains out

warm void

#

Blood rendering is a little unpolished. It doesn't affect normal gameplay that much but ultimate challenge definitely has issues with it. I imagine it's probably because it has to stay rendered for longer?
