"when drunk you get a 50% bonus to speech and charisma" This truly is the most realistic rpg i have played.
lol, that's some solid irony you've got going there. "I lurv youse pepleeess, you know you've got a pretty mouth, you remind me of my ex wife."
Rajy Jeske I assume you never met an angry drunk.
@@henryjw15 It should actually read "when drunk you get a 50% bonus to speech and charisma with other drunks" :)

Thanks a lot !
If you like being a speech based character take Troubadour it basically lets you use all the bath house functions for free and you get a 50% boost when talking to women. But the power lies in the bath house just go there whenever you get hungry, tired, hurt or dirty and you get a free top up of all those stats plus the alpha male perk which further boosts your charisma.
Since this perk my gameplay change a lot in a very good way what a wonderfull game i like it so much my favorite game since fallout 2
I'd argue the 50% boost when talking to women is far superior than the free bathhouse services, *especially* in normal mode. Full bathhouse services only costs 40 groschen which is less than pennies in normal mode.
I was quick to grab that one
USING THE BATH HOUSE ISN'T EVEN EXPENSIVE.
@@tinkywinky4449 combines with friendly neighbor so women are really easy to rob
i love archery so much in this game. its realistically OP. its kinda ironic the cumans ran from mongols and ended up in hungarian army sacking bohemian towns. i just ride around them in circles and shoot them down with better piercing arrows.... like the mongols would. poor cumans. i like those ears though
Same when the game took my stuff away spoilers when u get kidnapped I only took by bow and better peircing arrows and poison and my stealth armor of course
@@everyalivememester5307 do you get your stuff back?
Brandon Bragg I’m assuming that since this is a week later, you probably passed this mission or beat the game already, but yes, you can get your stuff back, it was a hard lock for me though, so make sure you either are decent at lock picking or have a padfoot potion on you at all times
@@bobcat4748 actually I've been turning every stone in the game and started over on a new profile so I haven't made it there yet!! Haha thank you for telling me tho I really appreciate it
The bow sway is pretty unrealistic tho, I’ve shot a bow before and idk if it’s just me but it’s pretty stable
Easy way to level pickpocketing- Go to the room full of injured people at the Monastery at night. You can pickpocket all of the injured people to gain a ton of quick exp, nothing happens if they catch you because they're incapacitated, so keep going until there's nothing left to loot.
Cameron Mikel what a dude
Yes. Very thematic and immersive to go around pickpocketing sick people in a monastery. Great idea.
@@chuckm1961 "What the priest hasn't stolen already is free for the taking"
@@chuckm1961 Maybe on his playthrough, Henry is a complete scoundrel willing to stoop to insane lows to get his sword back. You don't have to be such an uppity chode over a harmless suggestion clearly aimed at newbies.
Where is the monastery?
I picked savage because there's more danger in the wilderness than in civilized areas.
You're not gonna profit from this perk at vranik,prybi,talmberg or the sasau monastert
@@nathancardon233 you don't need it anyway, you don't really need strength, agility and vitality in cities and villages. Speech is important, but you got charisma covered you
Hands Please it’s neato when you decide to fight every guard in town.
Same
Hands Please charisma does fuck all when trying to persuade people since most of the time it only allows speech checks, charisma is rarely useful in proper conversations.
Infamous is absolutely better than local hero, simply because reputation rises faster and that's beneficial to both chivalrous as well as dishonorable characters alike. There is no downside.
Especially considering your reputation will fall much faster if you pick hero, and what good is that for? You'd always want high reputation, regardless of your play style.
Good point. But...local hero can be an RP-pick. And you WILL miss out on the stat bonus if your rep is high, with infamous.
Yes you will miss out on the stat bonus. But that will be a waste once you've maxed your stats. Then your stats can't go higher anyways and you will still suffer losing reputation.
Furthermore the stat bonus does not work outside of towns where these stats usually are the most needed, considering most fights usually happen out in forests. Other than that there's only the +1 speech, not really overwhelming.
However in the case of infamous when things go bad you will get +1 in every stat, your reputation will rise faster and less punishment for crimes (accidental or not) is just flat out better, rather than being punished harder.
Why would you still worry about reputation after maxing out every stat? At that point you will be done with the game or you find it so much fun you dont give a crap about how fast/slow your rep falls.
You may be done with the game but I personally enjoy free-roaming the world. And who knows, there may be side quests or activities that you've missed.
Besides your reputation constantly being lowered and harsher punishments will haunt you for the rest of your game (until we perhaps get a respec potion)
Thats not what I said. Im still playing the game. But what I said was, if you reach the point of max stats it doesnt really matter anymore what tiny buff local hero or infamous gives you, since it gives buffs to your stats... So why care about reputation, you can easily fix that by giving stuff to vendors for free. Id say you are looking at it the wrong way, you should check what kind of character you are playing, before you reach max stats. Not what kind of character you'll be playing in the aftermath of becoming a demigod.
Tisk Tisk.. discounting Troubadour... thats one of my favorite ones as it using the "services" gives you full health, full food, full energy, clean clothes, and a charisma buff.
How could anyone not agree that those bathmaids "services" are the best for energy, health, and nourishment?
Oh yeah and you get that buff for smashing.
Yup. Always have alpha male buff
They are great but to be fair mid game and after 40 groshen will be pennies to you but the other part of the perk might be very useful, tbh all of the lvl 8 speech perks look good, I went with empathetic so I would have more options through story dialogs
Well i prefer my women to appreciate what im doing to them instead of demanding money lolol
Not to mention it's a free save so you don't have to go to a lodge or use saviour schnapps.
You can train with captain Bernard and your stolen weapons in your inventory will not be stolen anymore once your done. Simply surrender right away and your welcome. Doesn't work for armour.
Thanks. Does it work for armour pieces too?
Thanks Brandon! If this works i am so thankful to you man!!
It does but you get less if your rep is low. Sell your goods to different vendors. I'm up to 200 000 in stolen goods
What vendors do you sell? The traders don't have any money and the sword shop only takes swords, the armor shop only takes armor etc....
Sil van Broekhoven the sword smith in sasau has lot's of money.
I believe Savage is a better option than Burgher for a main stat perk. The 4 categories affected are Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Speech. While you typically benefit from all 4 stats in the wild, you generally only use Speech in towns, so with Burgher you're trading 4 for 1 and there are a lot of other ways to get Speech bonuses.
I agree, not that Burgher is a bad perk, but most fights are out in the wilds.
I found a decent trick for practicing pickpocket if it helps you out. When you run into random encounters where guards have caught and tied up bandits or cumans, you can pickpocket these guys to your hearts content and the guards do not care at all. Its very easy to do.
Matthew Green awesome man thank you so much for the tip
I tried that but the guards attacked me. On another note, do you get xp for pick pocketing someone who has an empty inventory?
@@AmjadKhan-jp3fk you do. I leveled up after pick pocketing a guard picked twice, back to back.
You can level pickpocketing, and some stealth, very quickly by ransacking the sleeping dupes at, in my preference, bandit, wood and charcoal burner camps
@@AmjadKhan-jp3fk i think it only gives XP if you grab an item so i dont think thats the case
I highly suggest Forester from the hunting tree, you spend a lot of time in the woods raiding camps and such and this reduces your visibility and conspic stats by 50% while in the woods.
Wild at heart breaks hunting altogether it becomes super easy, boars and deer will stay still allowing you to get an easy kill, bunnies will actually get so close to you you can stab them with your sword.
The main perk I don't suggest in the hunting tree is Huntsman which increases the damage done to animals by 20%, it is a wasted perk as with a decent bow you will still one shot a boar or deer.
Ohh, I like that suggestion!
Headcracker is insanely OP with archery. I managed to knock out a fully plate armoured bandit with a single hunting arrow to the face, take all his armor and weapons, and then beat him senseless when he woke up.
That’s hilarious. I’m gonna go try that now!
Hey, the game would do it to you if it got the chance!
Headcracker can be frustrating in large groups because you can end up with a KOed enemy behind you that wakes up and starts smashing you while you’re in the bind
I did that to the one boss dude from robber baron by accident and I was so confused
That's how I took out Runt. When Runt charged at him, Henry backed up a step or two, drew his bow, and dropped Runt like a sack of potatoes.
It was a one shot but I don't know where I hit him. I was too hyped up to finesse the aim.
(Yew longbow, 20 bow skill, Dollmaker on Better long distance arrow)
Final offer is the best speech skill it makes haggling soo easy
@Elisha Miley uh wut? Could you say that in normal English?
Just a high reputation/Charisma and level 20 in speech is sufficient. Haven't lost a haggling session once since.
Empathetic is the best one, intel is paramount.
I would recommend avid reader for the reading tree as well since you can just quickly start a book (any more than 0% necessary) and when you sleep or wait around, you automatically read any books that you have started, meaning you don't need to specifically spend hours just sitting and reading.
Never do main level perks that increase/decrease stats. You do this so when you reach level 20(max level) you won't have something like 17 strength(-3) 20 agility 20 vitality 20 speech(+2). Once you reach max level even if you have a plus 2 on speech you don't get 22 speech but you do get a -2 on strength. You want to have all 20s when you max so avoid these all together.
thanks for telling me of this, but how long does it take to get to that point, is that far late game or mid game, i’ve only played 20 hours and am lvl 8-10 i think
@@dylanhinkel3548 if you still care: I maxed out most main skills at around 2/3 through the game. Had all the DLC installed though. There were still around 30 hours or so for me to play, doing all the side mission, maps etc.
Thank you
Never no longer applies after the Lethean Water potion was introduced into the game. That potion allows a player to reset all their perks. Henry can benefit from stat and skill boosts as he levels in early game. Then after various stats and skills are capped at 20, he can select a different set of perks that can serve him better as he nears end game.
I have found the balanced diet perk very easy to keep up tbh, its up all the time with what feels like almost no effort. There are so many bean soup pots around or bathhouses or random places for food that its really hard to starve unless you are staying in the forest for many days but even then you can just have dried foods on your horse.
Olly I agree eating from the pot daily 😂
Olly starving isnt the problem, I tend to over eat more then starve. I just find it weird to eat once a day then your full for that day. Im glad its not annoyingly fast to starve but atleast twice a day would be good.
Leon you just need to press I and check your characters nutrition before you eat from the pot, don't eat if its above 80(actually not sure of the exact number
Olly yeah i checked the numbers and you get 15 when eatting from the pot so 75, I just find it more annoying how fast henry would get dirty just by walking or riding around then after a battle not feeling hungry.
The best thing is to use human dustbin. Just spend an absolutely tiny amount on bread, and you'll have the best food supply.
I took Ascetic and Insomniac from 'main level'. They basically completely remove the need for maintaining your energy and nourishment. Once they release the patch for resetting perk points I think I will remove them because they're almost broken, but if you don't enjoy having to stay on top of sleeping and eating then they're worth getting.
Ascetic combines very well with 'Balanced Diet' from vitality since you'll almost always have the bonus 1 agil and vital.
Gwarg combine this with contemplative and literally you never have to worry about nourishment lol
I´we seen some fastrunners in hc mode - its possible only if you are constantly drunk on wine or doing lot of potions :D I hated ascetic perk bcs my henry couldnt eat all those tasty geese, beef and venison without getting overeaten (+ he got tapeworm, still not hungry enough)
Ascetic is a bad choice as it also has negative effect when you are being overstuffed and you can drink less potions.
@@MasterFeidn
Not necessarily. Most potions increase Nourishment by only 5 points. Digestive potion drops Nourishment by 20 points.
So if don't want to exceed 100 Nourishment, use a Digestive pot to drop Nourishment to 80.
Then you can use as many as 4 more potions which also raises Nourishment back to the 100 level.
It is always best to avoid Overstuffed unless you are aware of some circumstance where it proved beneficial?
what about contemplative? you don't lose energy or food when waiting, you can use the wait function as much as you want witouth any downside, pretty usefull imo
did not kno that. Thanks
I love contemplative. It’s great when you combine it with Balanced Diet
I use wait to spend my energy so i can sleep lol
Just a correction: Tanner doesn't mean you'll be able to skin EVERY animal you kill, that's not how it works. What it does is that there's a chance that every animal you kill will drop a skin.
It's not 100%, from my experience I'd put it at around 66%.
The wounded refuges in Sassau make an easy target to start to learn pickpocket (when sleeping), they can't get up when you get caught so you can try again immediatly. Further start with sleeping targets and progress from there. The perk that makes the curser go twice as fast in victim's pockets (don't know the name) is the best perk imo.
who needs to pick pocket when you can sneakily choke em out lol
And get wanted because everyone knows what you did even when you were undetected lol
@@nguyentran7068 actually no. It depends on your equipment and surrounding.
I kill at least one person a night. My Henry is a serial killer. I have not been branded as a criminal nor has the guard come after me. After the kill I sleep to save the game(hardcore mode) so I don't know if that makes a differance.
Dude, how's serial killer Henry going?
At start of Rattey, learn a bit of lockpicking and get some, get quest to read, go cross country to Mehojed stables, in the stables is a east lev chest with 20K and horse gear. Loot buy best horse, ride bareback to neuhoff and deck horse with gear return to mehojed (the 20K respawns every day or so, i think their is also 20 at neuhoof). Ransack again...buy best gear...
This isn't really on the video topic but you should buy a Brocade outer jacket from the tailor in rattay. It goes over the plate armour and has a +11 defence stat as well as a charisma bonus
Razvan Ciociltea Quartered combat jacket from the shop guard in rattay is better
Razvan Ciociltea and I don’t like it because it covers my cool armor
*Kinda looks like shit though*
I looks like a sisy
Or steal one 😁
Crouching Chameleon is very useful for pickpocketing and hunting. A nice tip for raising your skill in pickpocketing is to just do it every time the game auto-saves. There's always someone around and it's nice to just do a quick reload every time you fail.
Quick little looting tip:
When you've gone a bit overboard, both you and your horse are fully encumbered but you've still got like a hundred points of weight you need to shed..
Don't just dump everything out on the floor. Dump it into some form of storage, be it a chest or even a corpse. It will help your hardware by not overcooking it while dumping a massive amount of items into the world at once.
For herbalism, resistance is an automatic hidden perk, create a new character and you will see you cannot select resistance, you will get it automatically. And for Flower Power, what I've noticed so far is you only need about 30 herbs to get the perk, that's only 3 pounds (Most/if not all herbs are 0.1 lbs for each unit) so it's quite a powerful perk. Leg day only gives 1 strength xp per "pick" not per herb picked (like Herbalism XP) so it's useful but not as amazing as it first seems.
Strictly speaking, Resistance is not an automatic perk but it is somewhat difficult to avoid. Henry has to gather 100 Nettle to earn the perk. I grant that anyone intent on leveling Herbalism will likely gather thousands of Nettle in the course of the game.
I recommend the contemplative perk from the main category, when you wait or read your energy and nourishment don't drop
I use reading and waiting to purposely drop my enerhy and nourishment :D As I would do irl :D
Hey UE you can raise your pickpocketing stat a lot in merhojen (idk how to spell it) by practicing on the poisoned villagers.
You will get caught by them but they won't run off and call guards, they are in limbo.
It might still effect your reputation tho, mine was already low at that point
The Easiest way how I maxed up sneak and pick-pocketing, is when an Enemy surrenders, go behind his and keep pick-pocketing him, you can fail without consequence. Then Stealth kill him if you have the ability to do so.
This helped me greatly. Thank you for a clear cut guide.
Safe passage is the best drinking perk. With safe passage you can fast travel in normal or hardcore mode even when you are over encumbered. All you have to do is drink untill you become unconscious and you will fast travel to your nearest owned bed.
I realize this is months later but for pickpocketing i had a much easier time after i got crouching chameleon in the stealth tree levelling pickpocketing on sleeping people. Just wait beside them for a second first, let the perk activate and typically i would even wait a little more in non-stealth armor, and once it is levelled a little bit it geta easier. Crowd control is good if you dont want to wait until night to pickpocket.
My own recommendations (in addition to the ones mentioned in the video), not exhaustiveby any means:
MAIN - insomniac
It's not super powerful or anything but there are so few good main perks you will have trouble finding enough to spend them on anyway. There is no downside to it - being tired is never something you want. It's just convenient overall. Ascetic may seem similar regarding food, but it has a downside (even if it's a rare occurrence to starve IMO), but also there are legit reasons to want to be hungry - like being able to take potions without overeating, so while that is a decent pick too - insomniac is usually the first I get.
VITALITY- human dustbin
While useful it's not worth a point IMO, for 2 reasons: Vitality has some of the best perks, so you will want to invest them well. Secondly there is no shortage of "travel foods" that do not expire, like dried fruts, dried mushrooms, driet meat ect. These are cheap enough that you can always keep a few on you (or on your horse) and food shouldn't be an issue.
VITALITY - sprinter
This comes with the downside of being able to run not as long, but it's faster - and it's so useful for re positioning in battle or chasing people down who are fleeing. Well worth a point IMO as mobility is never not useful. Also the added stamina drain is largely negated as soon as you get a horse as you will rarely marathon-run long distances. (for the exact same reasons the marathon perk is garbage)
VITALITY - Balanced diet is a decent pick if you when you have a leftover point relatively early in your development. It's not hard to maintain (mostly just pay attention to overeating) and your stats genreally develop slower than anything else, so having some bonuses to these are very nice. They also allow you to use better bows sooner, which is nice if you like archery.
HUNTING - wild at heart + forester are both essentials IMO. Wild at heart makes hunting twice as easy as you can get a lot closer to your targets. Forester not only amps this up by making you a ninja anytime you are in a forest, but it also applies to combat (ie. hunting humans). There's a lot of cuman camps out there in the forests so unless your playstyle does not involve stealth at all this is fantastic (the buff amount is really huge so even with armor on you will be fairly stealthy).
LOCKPIKCING - lucky of the drunk. it's easy to overlook this, but it's a golden perk early in your career. Not only does it make it much easier to lockpick if you are struggling with that, but more importantly it lets you attempt high-level locks you otherwise couldn't try until many levels later. Later on this perk becomes irellevant as you won't need the buff, but there are enough bad perks that you can afford this. Master thief is also just a great quality-of-life one. You don't NEED it but getting in and out fast is very useful, and again there's not enough better perks to take that it matters.
SNEAKING - slim fit. Nuff said. Combined with stuffing from maintainance you will kill your noise very effectively.
i vote for human dustbin being one of the most useless perks :D it takes away bit of immersiveness and makes it bit more skyrim...
Thank you so much! Best damn video on KCD I have seen.
Thank you for sharing it was very helpful and great job. Really enjoyed it!
Nice! many thanks for creating this video!!!
I have pickpoket level 10 or so. Just keep the timer untill 6/7, more than thant you have a high chance to get caugh. Beware if the NPC is walking or not, if he goes outside your range, you are caugh.
I personally love this game, I know it’s not gonna be for everybody as it’s much more of a slower paced game. A lot of mechanics feel like they work against you, but as in real life the more you do certain things the better and easier they get. I for one love the alchemy system. I can’t emphasize that enough 😁 it’s just something about following a recipe and learning new recipes makes all that effort in picking herbs and flowers worth it.
You can also make a good amount of coin for any extras you don’t need.
Burgher isn't worth it for me. +1 Speech with NPCs in towns isnt as useful as +1 to all 3 combat stats when out in the woods fighting multiple bandits at once. To Each their own but IMO Savage > Burgher
Exactly my thoughts
Wrong, as the tourney and the cinematic battle fights take place in a "city" and also there are more places which counts as city than you believe. Savage will lose its importance quite quickly as you are overpowered. Burgher on the other hand remains useful.
@@MasterFeidn
The tourney is easy. The consequences for failure in town are less extreme than failing and getting wounded with no medicine and nowhere to rest.
I totally recommend sprinter as well as basically all maintenance perks. The seven mile boots plus sprinter is a great combo.
Worth noting that HeadCracker perk works for bows as well. Gives you a small chance to instantly knock-out enemy with headshot. Even if the shot does not penetrate helmet.
It's a shame that there are no perks in Archery.
If I were the developer I would add perks similar to the perks from *Skyrim Archery Skill Tree*
1) *Overdraw*: Stamina loss and power drop from nocking an arrow over time is reduced
2) *Power Shot*: Arrows can topple enemies down to the ground, even from horseback.
3) *Crippling Arrow*: An arrow aimed at a target's legs may make them hobble
4) *Disabling Shot*: An arrow aimed at a target's forearm may make them drop their weapon
5) *Guidance*: The reticle still remains when the bow is used (a saving grace for console users)
6) *Adrenaline Rush* : Speed of reloading an arrow is increased by 30%
7) *Assassin Hunter* : Arrows hitting enemies while in Stealth does more damage by 50% and enemies have a harder time to figure out your hiding location.
Those are just examples. Any other perks recommendations you got?
Well archery is already OP enough, especially combined with Knight perk
Human dustbin is useless, there are always some pot with food near by.
Agree I took it early thinking food would be an issue, found out it isn't.
Not to mention any food that has been dried wont spoil aka dried fruit, meat mushrooms
Preservatives also make food not spoil as well, every enemy has food, every camp has a pot of food, there are multiple pots of food in every town.
Not to mention you can hunt one animal and find so much food that you can't even eat a 10th of it before it spoils.
rihardo123 But even between cities there are plenty of camps pretty much everywhere, with pots you can eat from, or a fire where you can cook hare or chicken in.
Lock picking is easy once you raise your skill..
If you do a takedown then loot it helps level pickpocket. That's a great way to get that leveled up. Once you're above lvl 5 pickpocket is a lot easier but still difficult. Not until lvl 10 do you really see a difference in ability to pull it off unless they are sleeping. Just my humble opinion.
Here’s another great tip. Once you get the routine 1 perk where you can auto brew any potion you have already learned. Press the auto brew then press it again right away. You will get two potion instead of one
Good tip about maintaiance I'm on my second playthrough [hardcore mode..love it!]and didn't know that .Will have to see if can get zero noise in full plate in 2021 .That will save me changing my outfit all the time .Pity you can't have a few set outfist on your horse like red dead btw
Love this video keep up the good work
Nice guide and I agree except for human dustbin as balanced diet is better imo as I've never found problems getting and staying fed.
From game start: Leg Day (without the perk yet)... Pick all flowers, herbs, and weeds in town to level up Herbalism... Then proceed with main quests. Tedious and longer start, but makes the Herbalism perks done ASAP, ready for potion brewing and all bonuses coming with it! You can even get Leg Day perk after a while and start adding to Strength!
You can get to level 17ish training in the starting area - you can store your herb in the box in your parents house and come back for it when you have a mount later on.
@@andrewrobinson1634
Except you get 8 herbalism skill points when out in the open world without gathering herb, 4 from a trainer and 4 from the skill books. Those freebie points can only be acquired as you are leveling herbalism. If herbalism is 17 before you leave the start zone, then you can use no more than 2 of those freebies after leaving the start zone. Why grind away on 6 levels of a skill that you could obtain with no grinding at all? I would not level any of Henry's skills higher than level 4 while he remains in the start zone. There are more efficient and beneficial ways to level skills.
For flower power I think you need about 30 probably sage or poppies are the easiest to get, for resistance just pick a lot of nettles, you will probably get it maybe without even trying , they are very common and you only need to pick 150 or abouts. Yeah the devs did say there were a few things they scaled back and didn't realize on release according to their original plans and one of the things they mentioned was mounted combat.
Stuffing perk seems real OP, I need to get that ;p
3 chamomiles. just 3 raises charisma.
Nice :D just 3 of chamomiles? or any fragrant herb/flower?
Nettles counts for Flower Power perk. Not sure how many is required but I got the buff while only having Nettle in my inventory.
What did they say about mounted combat? Basically that's mostly all I do unless I get bored with it. Get a longbow and a bunch of better piercing arrows and go to town on the bandit camps. Just ride up to one, shoot a dude and then ride off with the other dudes chasing. Turn when you get some distance and shoot a chaser, then rinse and repeat. You take no damage with the only issue being that they might unseat you if you let them get too close. Archery is OP in this game.
I would say final offer is probably one of the more useful ones in the speech tree. Don't know if it improves speech much, but it definitely makes you money. Just offer the max/min depending on whether you are buying or selling and then the game will basically tell you what the trader will accept. I think it's usually around a 20% difference.
500 ! Thank you for all the info !
New sub - thanks for your videos about KCD~~
Great video, I'm just starting to get perks now so 🎉
For Drinking, there's a case to be made for Wine Bibber and Top Shelf since Spirits are very cheap and give a buncha Hunger and Energy, but makes you pretty drunk. So does Fine Wine, but it's significantly more expensive, but you can stumble upon it without much trouble in the field. Allows you to keep yourself going without having to concern yourself about sleep and food because you can just drink your problems away. Often times for free even
so i went through the entire game without knowing about perks
your telling me you didnt spend a single perk point cause you didnt know they existed
How did you get through the game? First of all that sounds like hell but don't you need to get perks for hard lockpicks
@@DixieSchizo nope, just the high level
@@tada-kun982 A keyboard helps too
@@mkpleco I mean to be physically allowed to try and unlock em
Thank you so much for this 🙏
You can basically get all the non-mutually exclusive perks if you put the time to leveling. Me & capped out Molag-Hal love going around raining doom upon banditos, Cumcumbers and such.
Alchemy: Snake oil salesman... If you're concerned about making money it's one of the better perks to have. Especially if you get both auto brew perks. Selling Lazarus positions can bring in nearly 60 gold a potion with a good rep. Marigold potion can bring in nearly 20 a potion.
Just go for poaching and money will not be a problem.
btw this may help a lot of people, kill one of the main characters when you look down at body it will say unconsciously. keep attacking their body with sword and you will level up all skills works with a bow and other weapons too.
I believe that infamous is the skill to grab, whether you're playing as a hero or not, because it makes you increase your reputation faster and balances a bad reputation in places where you arent liked
Thanks, this was helpful.
Cool video man! Thanks :)
I think Contemplative is really good. Especially if you consider In the flow to be good. It is a direct upgrade. You can wait, sleep, and read without pretty much any negative drawbacks.
WTF?!?! You used to cover KC deliverance?? Haha thats awesome I love this game. I found you after you started doing consumer awareness stuff... I just re-downloaded this game recently because it was awesome lol
Awesome guide, any chance you could do a comprehensive video guide on alchemy and how to use poisons? I created the lullaby potion and used it to make a group of people sleep, but nothing happened.
I tend to not put points in perks that has trade offs for one good but one bad, like highborn or lowborne only because i know i want to talk to everyone and i dont want a distadvantage when speaking to them. Infamy and local hero is the only one id choose for tradeoffs, infamous sounding the most fun (especially if you are a two shotting brute and wanna paint the town red) and local hero if its your first playthrough and wanting the most out of the game. Then you go rogue af
highborn and lowborn don't have negatives. You just can't get both of them.
I've find highborn to be the most useful. And infamous is outright better than local hero. You're punishing yourself if you pick a perk that lowers your reputation faster and gives you harder punishments for crimes.
Their is no disadvantage to low/highborn you just get a bonus to one with no negative.
No I'm just saying I've found that most "highborn" people have higher speech than most lowborn. Lowborn people are easier to persuade than highborn. Therefore I've found the highborn perk to be the most useful.
Leon there is no disadvantage to highborn or lowborn just different buffs.
Another benefit to raising rep with vendors are the eventual profits. The higher your rep, the sweeter the deal. After Henry figures out how to keep himself well supplied with groschen, start paying vendors the maximum amount of coin during haggle. The vendor gradually increases the price at which he will buy from you and increase the discount when you buy.
I think perks that improve noise and charisma, fluid states, not permanent stats, are far more important than stat buffs. You can just up your stats in combat incredibly easily. The ability to sprint after running enemies is also incredibly useful.
Level up lock picking at the start of the game then once you get radzigs sword while escaping from skalitz kill the cumans on horse back to level up early finish the beginning once at rattay (the luck of the drunk perk is needed) rob the vendors I would go for sword smith and armor smith you will def find a thousand grouchen. Go to nehouf buy horse (I usually buy buchephalus cause his carrying capacity and affordability) continue main quest
I usually have defense up to 20 within the first hour and a 1/2 Of a Playthrough. And defense, is one of the only skills that you get everything.
In it once you hit 20.
Contemplative makes it so you can wait for ever and never hunger or tire it is REALLY useful.
i never had a problem with lockpicking ever in this game. Its fairly realistic and if you like stealing a lot of grochen it will raise preety quick. The only thing i rexommend for lockpicking is that night makes everything easier, plus keep in mind the noise stat.

Consider that Armor comes at a cost to your Speed, you take less damage but attack and react slower. When you can balance those two you get a very effective killing machine with the ceremonial mace, no shield black brigadine light mail....experiment a bit and you can balance the charater out to your gameplay style
Fast striker is very useful when using a bow. The reload sequence is horter.
Lars Berntrop-Bos that’s useful. Did not know that, and I’m the traditional RPG stealth archer
I dont think that works for it as archery dont have any perk line... Probably archery levels gives you more speed and accuracy
I have noticed there is a lot of benefits from the Wild At Heart perk including, gaining wealth and marksmanship.
You can get Resistance in the prologue easily - just pick the countless nettles along the road after leaving Talmberg, you'll have it in no time AND have something nice to sell once the prologue is over (as long as you don't trash your weight limit, of course)
Perfect throw with loaded dice is awesome for learning speech
I'm not sure if the main level "Contemplative" perk works whilst you're reading books, if so then the reading "In The Flow" perk becomes redundant. I might test it out later when I'm done questing. Contemplative basically means aslong as you're remaining still your tiredness and hunger will stay the same level. Meaning it never drops, you can stand in the same spot for a week and be completely fine. Since you don't move when reading, I would assume it applies.
reading a book doesnt count as waiting, waiting means using t . At least as i understand it, so i dont think its redundant
The best lockpicking perk is Luck of the drunk .With this and some booze you can open any lock at level 6 .Then the perk that makes ur picking silent is a must .
I would add to the combo section that it’s optimal to get combos that strike the head, and also combos that have shorter sequences.
Head strikes are devastating, and if you go with a sword build they are essentially in the Runt fight. And it can be hard to chain 4 step combos especially against multiple opponents.
I found a nice little loophole when it comes to *pickpocketing.*
When you comes across bandits and such in the woods who try to ambush you you can do 1 of 2 things. (trust me, this works) If you know the locations of the bandits hiding in the trees waiting for you to come by. Sneak up on them and pickpocket them. Even if they catch you, they will not move and you can take everything from them. This works best when it's just 1 guy hiding in the trees. 1 place that you can use this alot is between Rattay (NW of Rattay) and Ledetchko (SW of Ledetchko) near the bandit camp along that roda heading to ledetchko, just past the woodcutter camp.
The 2nd way is any bandit that surrenders to you can also be pickpocketed in the same manner.
In both cases if you do infact pickpocket all their stuff and kill them, you can still loot additional groschen.
HurriShane00 that’s a good way to die alone in the woods
I really like balanced diet and ascetic. It rewards you for micromanaging your nourishment without falling off so fast you can't deal with it.
Unfortunately ascetic has some downsides. More negative effects when overstuffed (not mentioned in the description) and you can drink less potions as you are quite filled all the time.
You didn't talk about the Contemplative perk in the main level tree. From my experience it literally prevents your Energy or Nourishment from decreasing when you're reading or waiting. Which is especially useful when you have to wait for an npc or you just need to quickly pass the time.
Recommend "Wild at heart" for those who profit from hunting, you can just run up to them and skewer anything you see with a sword
I am interested if this tip video works after 2 years. Did they patch or changed anything? Since I watched some other tutorials, most of them does not work today since they are ouf of date
Great video! But this video seems more catered to a combat focused play style. I'm playing a high speech, stealthy hero character and a good number of these don't apply to my character.
Also food and carrying capacity doesn't seem to be such a bother for me. There are pots at every town and camp for food; and dry fruits barely spoil. Carrying capacity hasn't been a problem for me as much as waiting for the vendors to wake up. The map isn't as big as other RPGs, so traveling to sell isn't so much of a bother.
There are some real gems in your video though. Thank you for doing the work for us. Two thumbs up!
Capacity does seem to be a combat reliant thing since I end up nearly maxing it every time after I fight a few groups of bandits and proritize items over 150g. At mid-game, each haul with max weight capacity for horse and character are anywhere between 9k and 15k each.
Very respectful 😁 and interesting useful tips 😎
Burgher v Savage is about whether it is more important to have better fighting and hunting ability (there are more fights out of cities) or more talking capabilities.
thanks man... good guide
I'd actually argue for headcracker, I've had it fire for swords, axes, maces, polearms and even a bow! One shot knockout through the helmet, great for lightly armoured characters
Luck of the Drunk to me is the most OP perk in the lockpick tree. As soon as you get it you're able to unlock Very Hard locks. Lockpicks never break and lock extremely easy to unlock. Just carry a pick, some beer or do a saviour schnapps wait for the drinking buff and viola, you have a skeleton key. Be careful when near people though if you're still having trouble keeping it in the gold because it does make 30% more noise. You won't break the pick just the silence.
Love the game but if they want to have the save system like this. Make sure the game doesn’t crash and delete the previous 2 quest saves!! I lost 3 hours of progress
Avoid Human Dustbin like the plague, apart from there being plenty of pots that give you 25 nourishment, there are plenty of dried foods that never spoil and if you have the Beer Bibber or Wine Bibber you can drink to fill yourself and not get too drunk to affect your balance. My Henry had nothing but wine for most of the game.
I only used Human Dustbin in Hardcore Mode. I dont think it's necessary in normal mode at all.
I take your point. However Dustbin is reasonable at end game when Henry is level 20 in everything. It is preferable to Balanced Diet which gives a useless +1 in Vitality and Agility. Level 20 is cap.
heres a tip u can fast level lockpicking skill by buying loads of lockpicks / stealing / saving them from looting until you have like 500 or so and then finding a very hard lock. then u simply move the mouse fast toward the gold area constantly and spam D. it will break your lock pick repeatedly if u can get it to a rate of 3 or so per second then after 500 are gone youll be master level in about 5 minutes lol
For pickpocketing, Miller peshek will get you to skill 5 with his unique training dialogue option, where you can practice using the skill with him. Everytime you successfully pickpocket him, he will tell you to use the skill on sleeping people or drunks in order to succeed. Everyone complains about how hard it is to use this skill but without really figuring out HOW to do it. It's not like skyrim. Take off your armor, make your noise stat as low as possible, find a sleeping person, pickpocket them, make sure they are alone, don't let anyone hear or see you. and pay for training with peshek after you get to skill 5 with his unique training (which is free) and you will become a master pickpocketer.
If you get the forester perk and put on the black priest outfit it lowers you conspic visibility and noise to zero op
