Thanks! 😁

Don't just stand there, Lad, brew us a drink! Thanks for watching. 🙏

Happy to do it! I'm glad you enjoyed. I agree the game can be light on information. I found while doing this video that 2/3 of what the game says defence does isn't even true. 🤣 Good luck on your playthrough! 🍀

Wonderful! My merciful run had much death. Death by poison, Mutt, and horse trampling are all non-statistical kills.

I'm guessing he also stole it from the Vicar's guard... I definitely love the look of this jacket and it's important to be well dressed when performing general banditry. 😎

@@TrialBySquire i couldn't agree more sir 🤝

Great minds.

Just like any good abusive relationship

For sure! Especially if you intend to complete the mission it's better to just knock them out and take their stuff. I will say, you can actually farm them if you cared to. You can kill just the guards with stealth kill to take their stuff and then wait 10 days for them to return and do it all again. I've done that on a run where I wasn't allowed to spend money (so I couldn't pay to repair overly distressed gear). This was just a super fast method for getting gear with little to no risk/effort. Definitely not the only way to approach it.

I appreciate you saying that! Enjoy the saddle 🐴

Totally. They put a lot of routes in this quest. Pretty impressive.

@@TrialBySquire Well this one is more of a bug or a cheese. You can literally skip every routine in the monastery and just wait it out. :D It is not a legit way.

@@johntheknight3062 I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the tip.

@@TrialBySquire The key to it is really just wait in front of the chapelle door, getting monastery key is must of course and then you need to talk to Pious any time he is just leaving the morning mass. This way you avoid most of the monks that otherwise expell you if they catch you because you are breaking their rules big time. Once you start convo with Pious, they can't touch you. Then you can also sneak in the monastery to order the fake blood, get it, distribute it and so on.

I did, yes. I parked my horse, popped in and dropped the dagger, and then put my stuff in that chest before joining the order. You don't need the dagger as you can just choke and kill but I thought I would add some style points.

I'm glad your found it useful! Let me know how it goes with your new found skill. I'm sure you'll be a Lord of Leipa in no time.

You want to do missions for the skalitz refugees, both in rattay and Sassau, as well as help out Fritz and Matthew. Those all should boost skalitz rep.

@@TrialBySquire thank you! I went through and max leveled myself in everything I could in skalitz and everyone wound up hating me for it

@@slacksviii9824 lol. Yeah. Skalitz rep doesn't really update until you leave so it's hard to know for much damage you're doing. You could have been offsetting with the Farkle table but you wouldn't really get the feedback on if it's working. I haven't done heavy experimenting with skalitz and the Farkle table.

@@TrialBySquire it's something that never even crossed my mind tbh

Yeah it's super cool! Alongside stats it also boosts your reputation with Rattay, I believe, so there's a lot of utility with the tournaments. You can definitely take on the whole game using the rewards earned. I love that the Devs were willing to surround us with endgame loot at the start of the open world. We really get to choose if we want to do a slow rise with the campaign, go full thief and rob Rattay blind, or just be a champion of the people and earn awesome stuff in tournament. Aside from a little bit of level gating on weapons, we can really go from zero to hero before we ever report to radzig. Delicious freedom...

You'll need to be losing those games (I assume you are but just mentioning) but also it takes a few hours to be reflected. Try waiting a few hours and checking again. I'm not sure how frequently the number updates. Probably 4 hours wait is good enough but worst case try sleeping/waiting until passed midnight if the 4 hours didn't work. You should be up to 55 rep if you lost 10 games (with money on the line, not 0 groschen games).

Last thing I can think of is ensure you are not quitting too soon. Before the score card shows up (before the screen flashes black for a brief moment) will not count as a lost game. If you bet 1 groschen(minimum) and quit after the score cards show up then you should see reputation gained at the top left of the screen after you quit/lost. At that point it'll take a few in game hours to update on the rep page.

Thank i didnt think to wait! I appreciate the quick response

@@camdenmailman7653 no problem at all. After editing, the wait part of the instructions became way less emphasized. I'm happy we got it working!

Need a hug?

I was reading the wiki and it suggested it's the Dark Combat Jacket you can get from B.o.B. I know it can be wrong and I don't remember which I saw on him. Is it the Dark or Black on that dude? Wiki says Black can only be waldensians and ambushes but I'd love some first-hand accounts.

@@TrialBySquire ok correction IT IS the Dark Combat Jacket not the Black from the camp. Your way still. No idea if console commands disable trophies? But that’s prob an option too ;)

@@Calypso694 I really appreciate that follow up! Legend. There's still ambush encounters to get it if you're already passed waldensians. I'm pretty sure I've gottena second one that way and the wiki says you can.

That's right. Your Henry will be bombing Sigismund from three fiefdoms over after this tutorial.

Huzzah! I'm glad you're here. 🤩

That's a good strat as well. I usually knock out the prior my first night in Sassau so I have the key well before the Monastery quest begins. There are no locked doors between the overseer's office and the Prior's quarters. It is funny how available that one in the kitchen storage is, though. I think a lot of people just accept the jail sentence which is valid but I rather prefer to get out undetected. I don't usually even become a monk but it's fun to mix it up.

Thats understandable, I love how many different ways you can problem solve in this game, it makes it super enjoyable for repeat playthroughs. I do recommend tho first time players actually do this quest as intended but every playthrough afterwards just do a variation of this strat because while the quest is good it is also just a hassle to do.

@@ItsYaBoiAram I totally agree. It should be experienced once, ideally before you know who Pious is. I think similarly about the prologue. First time, take your time and do all you can. Really ease into the game. But now? I'm so done grinding skalitz. I'm in and out the prologue in a hurry so I can play in the open world.

Oh totally, I spend the time I would've usually spent in Skalitz just blitzing around the map picking up mid-end game level gear before I even join Radzigs garrison. There's just something satisfying about pulling up in that cutscene in full kit instead of the dumb green shirt lmao

Yeah, I absolutely have the Noble saddle in my inventory when I get to Talmberg. I never did take the plain one, just unequipped it and left it on the horse, but the Noble I moved over. I'm not sure the nature of your problem but if you're saying the item never moves, check which button you are pressing. Moving an item from a horse uses a different button than moving an item from a chest. If you press and hold that button it'll actually drop the item on the ground. Maybe one of those are the issue? Let me know.

@@TrialBySquire it goes to my inventory but when I get to talmberg it disappears

@shukthy hmm. I don't really know why that would happen. I always see it in my armor tab when I check my inventory. You can even see it in my newest video when I'm browsing my storage chest @ 19m11s

That's awesome! I'm so happy my video could help you out.

Hey I appreciate that. Thank you for watching!

This game... Apparently, it's not enough that I masterfully take out Pious. When am I ever going to be good enough for you, Mom?! Uh, I mean, Game!

Of course. Happy to help!

"and today we'll witness a duel with Dagge-echhh uhh ahh!"

Not that I'm aware of. There's one for becoming a Monk and there's ones for johanka dlc that requires you have gotten certain info from the monastery to report to the Inquisitor. This would satisfy the first achievement but not the second.

You are free to play any way you wish. I absolutely think first time players should play the prologue at a natural pace. This guide is for repeated playthroughs, for people looking to get back to the open world quickly. (I added to my pinned comment, encouraging newbies to play blind) Anything you can grind out in skalitz can be done as fast or faster in the open world. Speech XP is the only thing you're truly losing. If that's important to you, then yeah, don't follow this guide. Skalitz is a railroad. Time doesn't pass, you lose if you go to jail, you can't sleep, vendors don't reset, etc. Nothing wrong with grinding skalitz, I certainly did it a few times. But seriously, wealth? You'll get like 400 groschen if you get everything out of the vendors. You can sell all the gear you steal if you wish but I can get richer in ledetchko faster. There are only a few things worth getting in the prologue and still you can get them all later. A bow from a guard, tight black hose from the bailiff, and the quartered combat jacket from the Chamberlain in Talmberg. So please, you do you, absolutely. Nothing but love. Personally, on my tenth playthrough, I'd like to maybe punch a different set of cows...

Cause if you want an immersive experience at the start of the game but don't want to do the tutorial. Being overleveled god after slaughtering Skallitz is only so much fun after the 5th time.

For sure. The Devs did a great job giving a view of monastic life, and a fun little mystery to solve. It was also really smart of them to allow us to skip it. I couldn't imagine doing it every playthrough

Lol. Thanks, Bud! I'd love to be cool like those other guys but if I haven't learned how by now... It's a good compliment. I appreciate it. My main goal is to be a meaningful source of information for this community. I'll always work to improve and polish my future videos but I'm never going to sensationalize.

I gotchu.

200!?!? Amazing. 😁 I really appreciate you being here and enjoying the video! I hope I can keep that trend going.

Hehe. I popped in and dropped it before joining, along with putting my stuff in the trunk for a quick escape.

@@TrialBySquire thanks that was also what i thought great video💪🏻

Thanks, Bud! Very kind.

You got it. I put my horse by the chest with my things inside after popping in and dropping the dagger. You don't need one as you can just choke and kill but it was for the theatrics. I tried a take with a Halberd but Pious died too loudly and the guards got summoned.

It's a very divisive quest. I appreciate the Devs put in a few ways to get around it. Would be terrible to do it every playthrough.

It's looking amazing. I'm very excited for it's release!

Thanks, Mom! 😋 Seriously, though. I appreciate.

(edit for accuracy) That's super cool. I never got one yet from a random ambush. I thought only the Dark Combat jacket was obtainable from random encounters. I thought you could get the Black Combat Jacket from Band of Bastards but I had that wrong. It's the Dark Combat you can get there.

​@@TrialBySquire Wait, is it obtainable in the band of bastards dlc? At what point?

@@Hadras7094 you know what? I got my info wrong. The Dark Combat jacket is the one you can get from band of bastards. The original commentor is right that there's a rare chance of getting the Black Combat Jacket from ambush random encounters. (From the wiki)

That's some Twilight Zone stuff right there. Must have been hilarious.

@TrialBySquire it certainly was. Though it's a good place to farm sneak xp.

That's annoying. I feel bad about that. How are you enjoying KCD so far?

@@TrialBySquire I'm lovin' it. I don't understand why so man people shitting on the combat system. That's the most immersive part of the game. The video gave me a massive spoiler but also helped me a lot. I hated that monestary SO MUCH XD

@@Saschik90 I've actually never been a monk longer than you see in that video. One day I'll see it through but when there's a stealth/assassination option I can't help but take it! I acknowledge the jank of the combat system but I agree with you on immersion. This game kinda feels at it's best when it's at its hardest, at least to me.

🤣 just some harmless "Blind-man's Bluff"
