i just cut a guy with half with only one hand
i like to call it "gówniany patyczek" it is actually a quite decent weapon when you have no other choice in spoilance
it is very easy to hit headshots with it and bamboozle your fellow homeless people
the paddle is better
Honestly if I don't beat Baron soon I might just quit lmao
eh, just make yourself take less damage and npcs take more damage
the game isnt very easy so thats more than justifiable
I've only adjusted the damage I do to them. I want to limit my cheating but this shit is damn near impossible
these are very reasonable settings
i beat the game with max npc damage and minimum player damage
Makes 0 difference in baron though clearly 😆
oh and
I get that you go through each stage again in baron all at once, but each rank is amplified (So I feel).
i suggest you maybe try to make player take less damage and make nps take normal damage
it seems more fair
that you wont just randomly collapse and die
Yeah not a bad idea. Makes me seem like less of a wimp
not really
i i remember
you've got 5 hordes
or something like that
starting from pheasant, commoner , soldier and going up from there
my recording is fucked because i had to speed the game up because i got a spoilance with all blunt weapons
When the RNG hits double spears, I immediately give up cos you've got to master the controls to beat that shit
Depends on which ones
theres no place for all of the ranges ofc but uhh yeas actually i guess that you can say that all of the rangs are amplified
I hit that every other run without fail
if there's a billhook or a halberd then focus on that one
if there's two try to get one of them to fall behind
Run 1 starts with knife, then sword, then spear, then stick with spikes and pointy tip and always two of them
If somehow I beat the previous dual spears, I get two guys with the long ass danger stick
The long ones are the easiest
Weird flex bro
just deflect and get close
I got to baron way too quick. I still struggle with the controls let alone deflecting shit 😆
if you have like a buckler or your knife still
At the beginning of the game, nothing works when selecting the violence level. Even if I select an option, the game does not open. What is this problem?
Does it crash?
nah only ı cant select any options and game not start
Start it in the non violent version, go into settings (if you can get into the game) and check which version of directX you're using
ı try
Macy Gray?
Hey what's this bit of the halberd called?
The other side
But like what's the hook bit called?
Łê ħôøķ is what we call it
What
the "Łê" part is very important
Does anyone actually know?
it ħôøķęțħ thine foe
Exactly
And I wanna make one in CAD rn and I can't find any reference images cuz I don't know what it's called
Do you know what this is?
Weapon??
the weapon is actually a poleax
But what is the hook bit on the end of the weapon called?
Idk srry
Dang
I'll find out
Like a tiny lil billhook
Is halfsword avalible on PS4??
"Fluke" "Beak" or just simply "spike"
Fluke seems more commonly used
No, it's a demo on PC only as of now
Click the channel I tagged
You are driving me #faq ing crazy
I'm not getting any results
what did you use to find it?
ChatGPT LMAO
That explains it
No clue man. It did describe the weapon in detail though
Cuz fluke refers to something on a halberd but not that bit
with a spike, hammer, or fluke on the reverse.
or wait
Fluke seemingly refers to this bit
Is it possible or not??
Wtf is this
Dude, read the #faq
The technical drawing of this
sometimes the hammer can be a fluke
or a spike like the bec
OH sorry
Just try to put the end bit into chat gpt
how it feels to be employed and not be able to play half sword 24/7
You're good bro
I finished a 10hr shift today and I'm playing so you need to up your game
Wait
i work 50-55 hours a week and still play every night so there's that
The grind is admirable and it shows
what can i say
game's fun
Fluke is just an umbrella term for stuff like billhooks and beaks
Kinda what I figured
Can't say the same at the minute
It's very difficult to narrow it down tho
Just call it the prince albert
is it only me or is the commoner boss fight the hardest boss fight in the entire game?
i actually think that the last fight was way easier
than this mofo
It's notorious for being the hardest boss
yeah
I actually really like how the hardest boss is in the middle, because then you truly know if you've practiced the game or not
its not even about the practice
i mean
hes just way better cuz he's got the moves i mean this guy i feel like has way better ai than other enemies
Every boss after the commoner boss is a total pushover in comparison
and his weapon is also the longest sword in the game
yes
exacly
Yeah he's insane. Every other boss after it is easy and I was literally talking about this last night in this chat cos I reached baron last night
hell one of them just straight up forgot to wear a helmet
Funniest shit ever when I saw it bro
it does look quite funny
Baron's sword is longer though right
like a little potato
or is it slightly shorter
Yeah like 10m long lol
but it cannot cut you from both sides like this guys can
in poland we even have name for him
its matyldus commonerus
wait baron's sword is single edge??
i don't think it is
i still remember it being easier
or even if it is double edge
whatever
you still have the armor
also he starts with the poleax
which you dont have when fighting matyldus commonerus
The one with the longer shaft and shorter blade is even worse
Looks the exact same but for a bladed weapon, I tend to knock them out with it before I even cut them with it
he's a test of footwork and timing
do this to kill him
i mean
yues
i have figured it out
but damn
when you do the usual
rush and pray
can't fight him aggressively
he is NOT happy when i do this
a lucky block here and there or dumb luck/chance but you just can't consistently go toe to toe with him
its awesome
because first person is impractical despite how fun it is sometimes
later on in the game yes
but in the beginning its awesome
I accidentally stepped on a billhook in the abyss but somehow saved myself
or in usual swordfights
then immediately after got my leg cut off
the same one that steppoed on the billhook
but if im dead then why am i clearly still concious and animated screaming constantly and flailing? because "dead" in the game clearly does not mean "brain dead" AT ALL
Basically just means unable to fight back
dude i acidentally casted a spell that sent me straight to the abyss
i dont know if its permadeath or not
Not in Baron
Oh yeah well if you lose in abyss then you go back down to rank 1
means you are going to die
being dead in the game is like being injured to the point of just not being able to recover period
I JUST RECREATED IT
I CAN GET INTO ABYSS MULTIPLE TIMES
THIS WAY
new bug 🔥
it's the same reason why enemy willie still screams and shouts on the ground even after the win screen
im gonna recreate the bug one more time
no, thats just not accurate, because i can lose my leg and then give up in time, but i would certainly have died if i waited 3 more seconds, so its just, inaccurate.
its not very realistic either way i think.
why dose the gane crash on ultimate battel
fatal error?
yeah i think so it crash only on ultimate battel
Are there mods for this game
tyes
Thanks
🩸 Only the absolute best examples of perfectly executed defence and offence. 🩸
Thank you to all of wonderful people who have supported me to make this video happen. But this is just the tip of the iceberg...

game design
giving up is just part of the game to bail you out and give you that grace
certain things you suspend disbelief for in a video game like this
sometimes giving up doesn't send you to the abyss, if you can surrender in time
is the video slightly sped up? feels harder than normal to follow even the AI's movement. but using hand transitions as part of your parries is just brilliant! this makes me want to practice active parrying a lot more.
parrying is a lot of fun no matter the weapon combination/clash
@wind charm how we feeling about the iaijutsu quickdraws
Cus u died
but thats not brain dead, so its not realistic.
Do you really want to play out the realism of writhing in agony for hours before succumbing and dying for real?
It's a practical concession
The game considers you dead when your character is fatally wounded, period. It doesn't matter if you are conscious and screaming or not. the rapid blood loss and overwhelming pain will take care of that for Willie in a few seconds.
Willie is dead, the brain just doesn't realize it yet
exactly
you can still have your spirit be in the fight and want to fight but your body is just not there for you any more
the giving up mechanic is just your saving grace if you're fast enough
like this poor guy
its like the guy telling you to not lossen more, if you mortally wound the guy he won't give you that line even if he's still alive
the only time I don't really agree with the AI having killed me is when their weapon lightly rubs up against me and I just suddenly drop for no reason. had that happen to me last night. AI had their weird spike pole thing resting against my side, not moving, I went to take a swing and suddenly I just fell over dead.
yeah weapon collision jank as hell
that spike pole thing should not be as good of a weapon as it is
imo
it agitates me that the weapon collision jank seems to only ever favor the AI in my experience. unless I'm using a billhook.
this is factual
LOVE the billhook
because it looks all menacing and intimidating but getting hit with that thing is like stepping on a carpet of nails (you can do so without much harm) vs a singular cutting/stabbing surface (stepping on one nail)
100% this.
you distribute less force with each surface
brother it's so frustrating saw at someones neck with a half sword but because their helmet goes down far enough it prevents anything from happenening
so the plancon should actually suck balls
The billhook is a vile weapon in this game
the billhook lowkey sucks for ai willie and great for players
i'm crine bro hit you with the superpower air slashes
he rests his axe on his arm for 10 milliseconds
oh yeah, the fact you can smack them in the shoulder with the billhook and then just drag the heft back to cut into them is great
When weapon customization comes everyone is going to max the hook size
it's always free
It's also possible that if you set your damages higher than default, the damage that has been done to you is being over exaggerated.
m00 always doing the most with that poleaxe
it is remarkably different compared to what i do with polearms
I do wide sweeps with polearms. swing, bring up over head transition, bring it down.
Billhook is good, but lately i've been liking the 5th boss weapon better, what is it a glaive?
I like twirling, but here's 100% optimal combat
you mean like the voulge or
more proof that half sword is as easy as you want to make it
Yeah it's like a real long version of the short voulge, pointy blade thing on top of a long stick
like if you want to just win at all costs it's genuinely free once you grasp the basics
I need to learn to halfsword the polearms. seems to be the only time they are reliable for me. but I'm used to using them as really long nerf clubs.
that thing is the win everything stick
what you do is you aim at the nearest head with it and try not to get hit
it will carry you past knight
Yeah I love it
factual as a mf
if you get one in ultimate challenge you just win
50k with plancon/voulge for me
enough to make me bored
star wars azz twirl
what's the plancon/voulge?
plancon is spear with a bunch of spikes on it
Spikey bat and rectangle halberd
im trying to parry but i mostly miss their sword
ohh ok
voulge is the extremely long polearm with a razor blade at the end
I see
you have to hold your sword out first before you parry
Is the glaive the big bladed thing on a long stick without a point?
or is that a type of voulge as well?
i dont want the autoparry to move it
I dont know if theres true glaives I half sword rn. Billhook and voulge.
you can only work with autoparry
I started limping on the last part of baron because somebody stabbed my toe. I fucking give up
fighting against is unfortunately more detrimental than putting up with it
Glaive is usually a curved blade
I've been calling it wrong then
autoparry doesn't ruin too much if you default to longpoint/chudan no gamae
it's when you try to pull off a specific guard/stance that it plays around too much
parrying with longsword isn't too reliant on how fast you are at swinging your sword against the other one (though that is one way to do it)
it's more about well-timed blocks and predictions on enemy movement
that's why my gameplay always has that lethargic look to it
I can't block/parry worth a damn, i'm only good at hitting them real hard with long sticks
hi
im not really doing any of it when the autoparry it helping
why isn't the from not int he search options
wasted movement can cost you a lot
Same man. Back stepping is 99% of the reason as to why I don't get hit
yep
Yeah i saw you do it in a clip the other day, Willie swung across, and then you expected the backswing and brought the blade parallel with you to the side. And caught the backswing
Imagine war scythes in this game
footwork and knowing how to swing is 100% of half sword
the other 10% is just style and aura farming
beating and stabbing people with long sticks has always been the historical meta for a great reason
it works and is bs easy
reach is king
holding shift all the time is neat for foot stability. but moving around all the time with it can mess you up more than help it seems? I find it hard to tell.
i love my parrying but if i had to simply win fights all day i'd take a polearm
it's like the sprint button
That's very true, I always laugh when people complain about spears being OP, it's like yeah, they are, that's why they were used for thousands of years
use it if need be but not all the time
i treat it like the roll button in souls games
hmm fair
I cannot agree more, it should be used sparingly and I've found that people use it way too often
you use it in short well timed bursts to get away from stuff and prevent excessive stamina use
then sprint longer distances if need be when the situation permits
but people hold it down and it becomes their downfall
just like sprinting unnecessarily/roll spamming in souls
i just let go of m1 and i never have any stamina troubles
I only hold it down when I'm running around abyss and avoiding dudes to find loot
agony, sheer agony.
it doesn't help that pretty much every halfsword video out there that explains the core mechanics of how to fight in this game pretty much tells you to just hold it down
me when people don't know how to play
it beats not holding it down
in terms of ease of use to effectiveness, holding shift takes the cake vs just not using it period
holding m1 does nothing until you combine it with mouse movement
that's how i hold stances
if "fuck it we ball" was a clip
this parry practice vid is a good example of ideal movement in half sword
I recently figured out with the help of some advice in this discord that I generally want to move my mouse at the speed of my swing too. I've been making really nice cuts since I was told that. got told that in an effort to make my maces not feel useless, but its great for pretty much any weapon. now that I know not to always hold shift, gonna see how clean I can make my fights
your character can only swing so fast so instead of focusing on swiping the mouse, focus on the quality and commitment/backbone behind each swing by prolonging mouse movement
strength > velocity
finally got to the actual baron. Holy fuck
It's kinda like Exanima in that way
In gauntlet or abyss?
How do I do that exactly?
Gauntlet
instead of a quick swipe with your mouse, just find that balance between being slower than your character's actual swing and being too fast to take full advantage of the way he swings
nice, did you beat him?
Absolutely!! not.
heh, did you have a polearm?
well, it's doable, but best way to beat him is hit him about the head, and easiest way to do that is with a polearm
Actually I think it's the only way to beat him in fact
bruh baron easy by himself
do this and you'll never ever have a problem with him again
i already put him on the ground once in this clip (hence why he dropped his polearm) but he got up again so i had to put him back to sleep
yeah he's not so bad when you get the hang of it
He's most scary when he goes into his second form (takes the huge great sword out), he half-swords that thing and bum rushes you, even with full armor sometimes he gets me
yep, hit him about the head with a polearm, that's the way to do it heh
I actually think the poleaxe might be the best solution indeed
when he half swords and bum rushes you you have to either stall his rush with a good strike to the head (now that he has no reach) or just turn around and run yourself
until he stops and goes back to trying to slap you with his sword in standard grip
then keep slapping him in the face until he's out
my honest reaction to commoner boss
lol, You should post that clip on every thread whining about him on steam forums
no i have a better one
maybe, but i also just kind of want to be able to be beaten within an inch of my life without having to have my entire screen go black and being unable to see anything
That great sword of his is a bitch to avoid, usually I just poke him
it's actually chill when you let him commit to a swing and game end him
the scary thing about swords is that any part of it as much as touches you and you're usually done, at least at default damage settings, avoiding it completely like you did is pretty dope
if you lower the damage sliders to below the defaults, like say the g in damage, you and the AI can really beat the crap out of each other in hand to hand beggar fights before either of you win or lose.
twice the size, double the fall
nice part about these disarming type of strikes is that you will never ever lose to physics jank because you already have your sword placed against his swinging arm(s)
and because he has too much reach he can't swing back at you once you commit to your own strike
the alternative is a clean headshot
but sometimes with his dying last breath he will throw his sword at you and you get cut in half for no reason
that's why i always include wedging my sword against his as part of the kill strike
I've been trying to get though the whole of abyss with nothing but the long candelabra, but my new project is beating commoner boss with long sword heh
do it it's a lot of fun
punishes you for overextension and bad movement/timing
once you hit a good swing on him and render him inoperable/too weak to be a threat just give up, fight back up, and fight him again
make the commoner your bitch and you will make everyone else in the game yours as well
half sword gets easy once you figure out how to kill the commoner boss more than 5 times out of 10
Well, I can definitely get those odds, but only with battle fork 😛
for now anyway
next is long sword!
if you want to have losing against him be less punishing turn down damage big time and turn off gore
so you don't deal with the bs involved in getting back to him after dying
that's the way to practice commoner boss
gore can insta kill you and damage makes every mistake annoying
that's a good idea, I usually play with default damage and gore at gruesome levels, but getting it down a bit to practice would make it better
turn your own damage down and gore off
keep npc default so you know how much it takes to kill someone
good luck longsword practitioner
thx 🙂
will half sword keep the same game play like fighting rounds in a cage and the abyss or will it become something different?

If my glitch isn't getting solved is there any way I can get staff support?
What’s your glitch
why is he so opurple
Its a crazy new thing called "bruises"
thanks to me
yo i think you sent it twice
discord bugging
Bruh I just got to the gold dude then my game crashed😭😭😭😭
I love broccoli
If you had to give a percentage, what stage of development are you at in the game?
Turn blood and gore to 0
That's what causes the crashes as far as im aware
whats the deal with the commonor boss
Or airline food, while we’re at it
What do yall think the full Half Sword is gonna be?
No idea looking forward to it i guess
They mentioned TABS, Mordhau, and Chiv 2 as their inspos so I assume it'll be like a battle sim game.
pro tip: when you halfsword in full armoured combat always swing around upperwarsrd, this is so u can get headshots
if you have a sword too your most likely to smack them with your hilt or blade

Or just hug them while half swording
Can we agree that axes are the best?
that mostly works atleast for me on lower tiers like man at arms and stuff since they have less armor and your more likely to saw their limbs off compared to the highest tiers
Full armor's kinda infuriating imo because like I don't got the patience to smack this guy in the head for 7 minutes at a time
Yes
at peasant tier yes
Thank you
Axes or hammers imo
At every tier
hammers are peakest of peak
if you are precise and use halfsword and batter them in the head you can end fights in a few seconds
no, axes past peasant tier suck imo
The sword clips through their armour if you flail and jump around enough
no precision
Not always
Mhm i agre...
atleast for me, i do have pretty high damage for both myself and willie. Nice dragonslayer codex pfp btw love the hagwyrm
That’s is totally not true I use an axe as a present up to two ranks higher (I die before I can get any higher) but I’m gana test some stuff with the axe later and see if some stuff is possible because if what I try works then axes and hatchets will definitely be the best
Yoo another DSC fan in the wild
agree
the 2h axe specifically is insanely lethal
hits like a TRUCK for both willie and yourself
for high armoured tiers, it acts more like a deveasting blunt nuclear bomb against willies temple then a hack and slash weapon
this is just wildly swinging
Can we agree that’s spears are are for pussies? (Am I allowed to say that?)
no precision
Dont need precision when your weapon hits like a truck
- halfswording
I would take some clips if I had nitro to show yall that if you actually go for openings than axes are better then swords
halfswording using the 2h axe does insane damage
spears dont need much skill to use effectively but have a high skill ceiling
Watch your kneecap is forfeit by rowbotia and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. Tags: Half Sword, Half, Sword
example of high skill ceiling
The people who use the warspear yes
And pitch forks
pitchforks are easy to counter and honestly suck as a weapon even at peasant tier
spear but off center
What weapons do you like?
i agree first part they are easy to counter but i disagree on the last part
I’m genuinely concerned
they are very easy to kill willie with
im a longsword girly <3
Hmmmm
im also partial to hammers and two handed maces
Idk why you don’t think spears n such are really op
Unless they are just stabbing wildly
they're about as OP as they were historically
spears are easy to use and effective and thats why they were used often
Maybe I just dislike them because they are a good counter to axes
in a willie's hands they're easy to counter even with just an axe
sidestep and knock it out of the way
How do you side step? Just move left or right?
A and D
hold shift and strafe, you take a decent enough step that you can dodge a spear thrust
- if you're trying to block or parry with your axe at the same time it's easy
then rush them when they're resetting
ill try to demonstrate give me a couple mins
I fr need online matches
Bots to easy?
lower the damage you do to them in settings
play at a higher armor tier
i usually mess around on tier 5 so there's enough armor to help the NPC while not too much that i have to sit there beating them for 40 minutes until they give up
sorry for the wait it took me 4 lifetimes to find an axe in the randomizer and get a spear enemy https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kDhRdECDpN3caE1Ex?invite=cr-MSxGOXMsNjI4ODIwNQ

is it just me or is willies kicks extremely powerful
no matter the damage scaling
but my kicks do little to nothing
like a single kick makes my whole screen shake and even dust effects and everything
anyone else know if the games just super demanding because my frames are low
Lower settings
Though the physics sims are def demanding in numbers. Brave Stand and ESPECIALLY Buhurt drop my frames
Half Sword has a Sandbox mode?
check task manager to see what resources its taking up
anyone else crash when throwing an enemy while they are ragdolled?

yea they are very strong but they can still be fun
Idk stuff like this happens to me all the time tbh
that specific 1 handed axe is sooo strong it needs a nerf
Pocket battleaxe
really cool longsword execution
What the helly
for me the coolest ones are when i go to parry and the tip of the sword ends up in their eyeball somehow
holy hell
;3
i am very tired of playing free mode and then just dying 0.001 seconds before i am able to fully give up
its very interrupting
to the gameplay
i feel
how often are you giving up???
alot, since i try to get better by doing challanging things, isntead of just easily mowing down everyone
more interesting that way
fair
yessss
and you cant even slow down time
when giving up
it doesnt even make it "more difficult to not die"
you can cheese the give up part by instead going back to menu, though that defeats the purpose imo
cus you can always just clikc the esc button to go to the menu withg no consequence
its less fun that way
just git gud
how will i get good if i dont have fun and just st ay in a comfertable range of combat thats too easy for m e to improve from?
Favorite meme
idk
there was a study done on trees
where
they tried to grow threes in an enclosed system
but they fell over and died
cus there was no wind, so they had no resistance, nothing to fight against, so they got weak
HOW WILL I BECOME STRONG IF I CAN NOT FIGHT
Just be strong
just practice
i wish the opps would actually try to parry instead of just swinging wildly
the npcs you mean? or?
its too boring if i just practice instead of trying out new techniques.
see
then practice perfecting the new techniques instead of wildly swinging?
if i do then i die.
thats part of practice
use slow mo to learn the moves then move on to real time when you're confident
what techniques are you trying to learn?
moving in slow mo takes alot of stamina and has less power behidn each swing it seems.
its good for getting muscle memory
also the entire argument was that i wasnt a fan of having to die constantly and that its annoying.
You can get half sword enhancer to have infinite slowmo and no pain mode
theres such a mod?
unfortunately theres no way to avoid it
i just think it could be changed to be less annoying, hopefully it will be less annoying to "die" in the game at release.

fair
i have used slow mo for blocking alot.
random ones.
typically when trying to learn something you choose something specific to practice rather than doing a bunch of things at once
but i think its more fun if i just try out random challanging things to do so that i become better at doing challanging things, like this.
damn is 🤣 🎉
so what is the challenging thing you were trying out here? cause this mostly looks just like sideways hits with no real timing
why not pick one specific move you wanna try to master or something
using the handle of the sword to knock the guy out.
oh okay, not bad, but yeah
but then sometimes this happens.
you could also try stupid moves like this
or polearm spins
i like to drop my weapon and disarm people by just ripping their weapon out of their hand and then bashing them into the poles

like when u press sownload or what it says nothing happens like when u press on the little green button that says tech demo i think nothing happens
if half sword has taught me anything, it's that medieval armies should have been armed with candle holders
I think they should add an option to have the ai fight until they're either knocked out completely or till they are dead.
how does one beat the ultimate challenge 😭
i can beat the rest of the gauntlet with relative ease
i can dodge, parry sometimes, and i understand spacing and striking
i kill almost every opponent in 1v1's, probably 50% of the time i don't get hit either
Wait how are you able to use full armor against farmer tier enemies?
(for the ultimate challenge) why is there a HUGE buff against enemies but you get nerfed. Its already hard enough since the NPC's rarely drop armor
the glorious historically tried and true polearm:
unironically do this and beat ultimate challenge
no insane skill needed outside of basics
what the hell is the little noises willie made when you cut his arm 😭
okay okay
i keep getting pretty far but i can't find damn arm armor and then they get broken and i can't use polearms anymore
YEAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
FFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
i use ovr selector

My biggest obstacle to beating the ultimate challenge is just fatal error
pommel strike?
beating someone with the pommel of a sword
they're usually quite a lot heavier than they appear
dang
Do u know any good setting for this game. I feel like im struggling even tho my limit is the soldier rank.
wdym
like the way u swing ur weapon at what speed for example
depends what weapon you're using and what you're trying to do with it
i keep my mouse sensitivity on the lower side tho because it makes it easier to be accurate
thanks miss really helped (not sarcasim)

Thx mate
I wanna play half sword again, but i have to get it working on my computer first
Idk
Every time I try to download, it gets stuck at 92% and errors out
ngl my favorite thing to do in the game is set damage to low and just beat the crap out of willies in a 1v1 fist fight
I am on a mac, using a wineskin, but that’s worked fine for me in the past
Dude that’s so fun
They should rlly do another game in this engine soley focused on like some sort of fight club
Playing a d&d monk in half sword is the best
Every time I knock em down I just let them get back up
I use it to practice my kicks
Mine might just be spoilance, period. Or the t1 boss
I hate that guy
Except for the adrenaline rush of grabbing the knife and stabbing him right before he’s about to behead you
Still my favorite fights w him lol
evil egg.....
Oh snap
That first one is epic
evil egg/////
i like breaking bones
willies rusing at me while limply holding their weapon in their broken arms is so funny
evil egg.....
what
evil egg.......
Evil egg apparently
can we play?
evil egg.....
we should be friend
no
sorry
we can be evil egg buddies
Inspiring 💖
ive been stuck in the abyss and i got a little hungry
wydm different maps
abyss is the darkone where random items, npc's spawn
yes but how do i change that and go into the other map?
just select the gamemodes
alright hold on let me reinstall and see
ive been playinf abyss since demo came out not realising i can go into a diff map
😭
i am now fighting the urge to close my study shit and play half sword with an axe
no what he means is hes always played abyss and didnt know about the regular free play (i think)
ohhh 😭
farmers axe is brutal
a little too sharp for a woodcutting axe if I'm honest but yes it is very gnarly
I liked it a bit more when it was a little more dull. Felt realistic and had a unique feel to it.
Help please I want to play the demo but I can’t even git it to start to turn off blood and I’ve tried every thing I’ve seen on YouTube but nothing has worked what would you recommend
plucked his eyeball out. raven DLC when?
while i do agree, the axe is pretty sharp for your average farmer's axe, it still can't do much against anything else other than cloth, its a struggle against gambesons and completely classed out by plate armor
They should add the ability to steal your opponents weapons like taek it from the sheath
people did that all the time
its also been turned into a goated weapon for lower tiers, as if it wasn't already
that does sound like fun
although you need to be close enough to pull it out fully
thank god they locked the c'mon mcwonderbread channel, that was getting out of hand
and by the time you're half way into stealing their sword, you're probably going to get stabbed
I usually have a clip for everything, but this might be a stretch
Can confirm, Willie's left ass cheek is removable. Don't ask me why I know this
yo how do i reseat gladiator mode?
What is gladiator mode?
gauntlet my bad
i... i did that
it dont work?
im at the end, and beat that, but now i cant go back to the start
Are you sure you're not in free mode?
yes
=/
@fair stump
yep that
Oh I guess it's a thing lol
OH THANK YOU
Same with "/gore" for the gore screen bug
very helpful for quick answering- much appreciated
Exactly the idea, good mods. Np! Moai showed me and it was like omg yes
No more finding that screenshot or typing it out
which was what i was about to do 😭
doesn't it do this automatically? it did for me
i kept the baron unlocked in free mode but my gauntlet was reset
Halberds?
ya'll like showmanship and FLAIR ? 🔥 🔥 🔥
how much will halfsword likely cost
today fatal error day
prob like 20 or 30 if i had to guess
I don’t know man, we’re mostly all adults playing this particular game. If you can’t afford it, don’t sink into debt for the game and get it when you can lol
or just play the demo indefinitely lmao
thats cheap
yep i think if u dont have enough money to buy just 1 game, how do you living???
u can jobbing half mounth to delivery and by that game i think...
i did it, whorked 3 mounth to buy laptop and now if someone say go to work i m running away
/fatalerror
i already have a job
why?
is it mod to change outfit?
I’m not the one to demonize devs over the price of games, in 2025 gaming has been proven to be luxury lol
I hope they add blades locking/binding together when sharp edges meet. I think it would make parrying easier, and add another fun layer of realism/authenticity
there's actually a post in #1047240101152960525 for this
what it's gone
huh
can't find it oh well
Yea, OVRDTH’s Selector
And Half Sword Enhancer to spawn in the stuff I wanted
Is it just me or should the tiers have weapons that are based on the player's skill?
like the first tier should have only the most basic example of each weapon type, like spear, mace, axe, sword, maybe shield
then the next tier has bit more types and expands upon pre-existing weapons, such as dividing 'spear' into billhook and winged spear
cause right now, there is a huge jump in equipment from commoner to militia tier
u go from from 2h sword, 1h sword, mace, buckler all the way to multiple polearms, axes, pavises
they also should let you pick up the femur bones in abyss and use it like a mace/totokia
These bots are WAY TOO predictable man
especially the 1H weapon ones. every single time they attack from top left
"your next move will be" ahh
crazy
i cut ones head off in the first swing to them going for the waist
BRO
THESE BOSSES ARE SO WEAK
ONE SWING AND HES DOWN
guys, I simultaneously won and lost a round, and now i've been thrown into the arena completely naked and without a weapon, to face a fully armoured soldier
metal af
holy shit I won
made it even more metal
what is the point of the spike on the top? does it stab or slash?
i think its for slashing cz this looks like a falchion and they were mainly used for slashing and chopping
i searched up like falchion circa 1300 and got a similar sword
aight
i mean anything pointy can stab (just probably not the best at it)
all you need to do in that situation is stab in thigh with good ol pitchfork twist it switch it as in hands and watch the person fly
like it wasnt made to stab though, thats what he asked (i think)
Loose pebble, happens to the best of us
i just installed half sword on my pc ,my specs are i3 1115g4 dual channel 8gb ram ive run most aaa games but somehow this game keeps crashing ive tried change from dx12 to dx11 and then to dx12 again but nothing works ive also tried setting my paging file higher but still it doesnt do anything i either get a fatal error crash or a out of memory error
uh ive seen people just turn off blood and gore and it helps
the games only crashed for me once, but i didnt do anything for it
the crashing is due to a plugin in the game that handles blood/gore, there no fix for it unfortunately, so you'll have to disable both of them if you're frequently crashing
yea cool i wasnt wrong yay
devs have decided not to use the plugin anymore and are working on their own solution which'll be in the early access release
what graphics preset are you trying to run it at?
Well one-hit victory at commoner boss was fun
Just slap him with sword to face
He beat me with my own plancon
How to get this game
you're welcome!
btw the demo is pretty complete ngl, can't believe its free
feels like a full game
wdym?
Never mind
:(
alr
wsp
damn, that clip was straight out of a movie
how you deflected that sword as if it was thrown at you
if you beat the gauntlet it does reset, im fairly sure
that must've hurt
at least it resetted for me, after I beat the uc a second time
