    The dice that throws a 3 is a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference.

      "And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

    • @jakemaxwell3810
      @jakemaxwell3810 3 months ago +23

      It was patched so they are now only 'likely' to roll 3.
      Dice are easy to win at if you just collect lucky/weighted/odd dice anyway though.
      It's also an easy game to become disgustingly wealthy without ever playing dice.

    • @baconrastas
      @baconrastas 2 months ago +2

      ​@Verårtu put a die on the line when you play an npc and forfeit then play them again and tell me whether they really don't do it to that extent, they 100% will you've just not accidentally enabled them to do it. I lost with a dice my opponent needed to endlessly farm me for point on the line by my own idiocy. I eventually knocked him out to steal it back because he was infuriating.

      Also if you just want to save the game and only need the weak version of savior schnapps you can just throw the ingredients in the base and pour it without cooking. It takes a few seconds to make this way. Also this works with any basic recipe as well.

      @holopeve Year ago +54

      @Otman0707 To me, the first one was definitely more janky and difficult, but to me the swings had more "weight" to them and the hits had more "impact". KCD2 feels more refined, but almost too refined for my liking lol. This applies only to 1v1s though, the first KCD was god awful when it came to fights where henry was outnumbered.

      Just to check my poor maths skills quickly: 1/6 is the chance of a dice throw of 3, so 6 of them should be 1/(6^6). If you want that to happen to three consecutive games it is 1/(6^6^3). But I am wondering a bit about your numbers since my output was 9,84640042E−15. Could possibly be due to floating-point number differences. What did you use to calculate it?

      You can use non-lethal poison - lullaby. With Henry version they have 0 energy, 50% stamina regen, no sprinting. 0 energy also gives massive debuffs for strength and agility, so they are basically training dummies. You can also add some spice to bandit cooking pots to add to their otherwise bland food something extra.

      @luccasdubai just because you can do something doesn’t mean it’s intended. Warhorse don’t patch exploits and it’s a single player game so if you want to min max the fun out of the game by doing boring things for hours on end that’s your prerogative

    Fun part is you don't NEED to learn Bane's recipe. Just throw 1 wormwood in wine, boil 2 turns, grind 2 belladonas and boil 1 turn w/bellows, throw 1 amanita in the cauldron and distil.
    Recipe will be learned as you brew it.

    19:40: Fun fact: Many of the alchemic recipes are from actual medieval alchemy tractates! And while most of them are really rather harmful (Marigold Decoction is basically nothing that a refreshing nettle-tea with a slightly bitter but harmless taste, Chamomile Brew is nothing than a chamomile tea for a restful sleep), things like Amanita, charcoal or boar tusk (which was originally hung into the brew in a cloth to properly boil it out) really are not beneficial at best, or downright poisonous.

      @ RMMinc
      A game mechanic. Just like in the first, you increase your strength when using it. So punching animals works just like intended.
      Just like if you do a take down, carry someone into the forest, and keep punching them while they are unconscious. Not much of an exploit, just a game mechanic.
      Or you can just repeatedly pickpocket them. Easy way to get pickpocketing up.
      Seeing as there is so many neat things to exploit in KCD and KCD2, I just feel like showing game mechanics, especially the ones that is wildly known to be meh.

    • @Weda01
      @Weda01 Year ago +31

      @AbraCaStabra I just tried it out again, and it still works for me after the update. The only difference for me was that I had to wait 2 ingame days now instead of 1. If the inventory does not show the die right away, you have to steal everything else in his pocket and then wait for another 1 ingame day before it appears again (this worked for me when the die didn't appear). Hope this helps.

    The best part about all of this is that while the dice have been sadly nerfed, Bane Poison is every bit as deadly as ever.

    You must roll a 3, no more, no less. 3 shall be the number of the rolling and the number of rolling shall be 3. 4 shall thy not roll, neither shall thy roll 2 unless then proceeding to 3.

    I am VERY sad to announce that the devs have patched how the Saint Antiochus Dice now works.
    While you can still get a full set of 6, the "Always rolls a 3" effect that they used to have is no longer true. It now just has a 40% chance of rolling a 3, which isn't even the highest % chance when it comes to dice. To compare, the Three Die has a much higher 56% chance.
    Of course though can 1 single mod fix this :)

    @3choblast3r4 Year ago +46

    Fun fact, one turn is exactly 10 seconds. 2 turns therefore is 20 seconds. Taking one handful off herb out of a sack, putting it in the mortar and using the pestle to grind it up then pouring it into the empty plate and pulling the cauldron from the fire takes roughly 20 seconds. You don't actually have to turn the sand timer/hourglass. (.. yes I timed this with a timer because I was curious)
    E.g. Pour wine in to the cauldron, put one handfull of nettle into the cauldron. Take a handfull of beladonna and put it in the the mortar. Lower the cauldron to the fire. Take another handfull of belladona, put it in the mortar, grind it, pour it into the plate. Take the kettle from the fire. Pour the grinded belladona on the plate into the cauldron, let simmer for one turn. And you're done.
    This cuts almost 20 whole seconds from your Schnaps brewing process, because otherwise you're just wasting time waiting for 20 whole seconds and then after that you have to spend another 20 seconds taking two handfulls of belladona from its sack, grinding it etc. Since you will be making a lot of these, it's very nice to cut time whereever you can. *(This still always gets you perfect schnaps or henry's schnaps if you have that perk.. which you will .. after brewing a lot of potions)*
    *DO NOT under ANY circumstance, pick the perks that make alchemy easier.* It is already super easy to get the timing right, instead take the perk that gives you more potions. Those two cancel each other out, you can't have both. The method I described to you also works with other potions .. like the super powerful lion's perfume. That increases your charisma by an incredible amount for 5 minutes and also sells for a *lot* of gold, which is nice at the start (would be nicer if merchants actually had money). At the first town you can sell potions to both the apothecary and the general store dude. The apothecary sells the potion .. alternatively you can lockpick his house (easy) and then pickpocket him while he sleeps (relatively easy esp if you save scum) to get his store key, then empty his store and learn all the recipes. (I did all this before found some saint antiochus dice.. they drop from random bandits etc too. I already had 3 before I started to pickpocket the player in the first town every 2 days for his dice to make a collection of 6).
    The method with the grinding is very nice for a lot of recipes, lion's perfume only requires 2 turns of simmering. I believe it's spirit, 1x mint, then grinding 2x sage and adding it, pouring it and you're done. Using the method above it's: spirit - 1x mint to cauldron & 1x sage to mortar - lower cauldron - 1x sage to mortar, grind, put on plate - raise cauldron - add grinded up sage to cauldron - pour to bottle.

    • @3choblast3r4
      @3choblast3r4 Year ago +4

      @donaldchapman4312 this is fine for early game but start making schnapps because not only does it help increase the alchemy stat, there are tons of great potions that become very powerful and can be sold for a good price. But more importantly, quitting and saving only means you got one save slot, so there is no real way to reload to earlier saves if anything went wrong

    • @donaldchapman4312
      @donaldchapman4312 Year ago

      @3choblast3r4 You still have all the sleep saves, plus all the storyline saves. I’ve only made a couple of potions, and would like to get better at it, as Bane Poison and whichever one helps Speech checks have proven useful. I haven’t really needed money yet, as I still have items from robbing the tailor at Trosky at the beginning of the game. I spent most of the time after that double overburdened walking around the entire region building my Strength and Vitality stats. I’m finally getting around to the mission you do to get invited to the wedding. Most of my money has gone to books, recipes, blueprints, and learning skills; as I have learned you get everything taken from you again. I’m sure there are serious flaws in my plan, but I hope it doesn’t effect my ability to progress through the main storyline. I just want to learn enough to make my second play through a breeze compared to the first. There’s been an extreme learning curve so far.

    • @areyoulit4209
      @areyoulit4209 3 months ago

      So for me. I add the wine, pull up inventory and put out my nettle and belladona. Add the nettle. Set it down to boil. By the time I add 2 belladona and grind its been 20 seconds. I then just directly add it without lifting it and wait 10 seconds. I usually have my phone set up with a stopwatch to watch for 20 seconds. Youre right about it matching up perfectly. You can then just add the belladona as soon as the timer hits 20 and when it hits 30 or 31 you can take it up and pour. No need to take up and bring back down. Much smoother much faster. Once you get it boiling you boil until its done and you get the good quality.

    Funnily enough, I just did the Saint Antiochus' Die grind yesterday (after the patch). I suck at thievery about as much as I suck at swordplay, so I found an alternative.
    1. Wait until 8am
    1a. Play dice with him (to make sure he has it).
    2. Sneak behind him where he sits.
    3. Save and exit to menu.
    4. Continue the game and knock him out.
    5. Rob the die and whatever else you want.
    6. Walk past all the lovely patrons and staff towards the back exit.
    7. Walk to the abandoned camp (avoiding guards) just west of Troskowitz (along the road).
    8. Wait 3 days. (Wait until evening, sleep 8hrs, check the sack in the camp (it respawns dried food and bandages), and repeat 3 days).
    9. Walk back to the tavern at 8am on the 3rd day.
    10. Repeat steps 2-9 until you have 6 Saint Antiochus' Die (not registered as stollen).
    I did this and my reputation with the tavern is 100%. I was never caught, even when there was a man sitting two tables over from me.

    @Shayeta Year ago +51

    For crafting saviour schapps, you don't actually need the hourglass. Putting in 2 ingredients in the mortar and then grinding it all up and then tossing it in the cauldron takes EXACTLY two hourglass turns.
    So you can:
    1. Add nettle and set to boil
    3. add 2 belladona to mortar
    4. grind
    5. add to cauldron
    6. turn the hourglass for 1 turn
    7. remove from fire and pour
    I have crafted hundreds of T4 saviour schapps this way.

      @fomme397 The game auto save every single time a quest pop/whenever you quit the game via the menu, and you can save by go to sleep whenever you want. The potion is literally designed for those cheesy moment that you want to reload a save multiple time before doing dumb thing for shit and giggle, not for saving the game. And if you want to abuse the system, spent a bit of time to create a potion is a fair trade. Unless you reload a save every time you miss a swing or smth you shouldn't use it enough for it to be "a nuisance".

    6:00, that's not an exploit. That's working as intended. There are lots of sparring partners throughout the game that you cna level up on on. The game is meant to be a life Sim more than a traditional rpg, and believe it or not, practice does make you better in real life.

    • @argh1312
      @argh1312 Month ago +1

      Not sure about the definition, but it probably is a bit of an exploit. The fight Spiff is enganging in is clearly meant to just be a challenge to succeed in for the actual, important reward that is being taught a sword fighting hit combination. Dragging this on for several ingame hours is not the way it's intented, and Master Tomcat - in a realistic scenario - would probably be annoyed after a few minutes of Henry simply not even *trying* to do as he is being told by his teacher/master, and would bugger off. The game developers just didn't code that behaviour in because, well, resources are limited and you can only include so much when at some point the publishers expect you to meet a deadline and release the whole thing.

    • @link670

    A little tip for alchemy: grabbing a handful of herb and putting it into the mortar is half of the duration of the sandglass, grinding the herbs with mortar and pestle is one rotation of the sandglass.
    Meaning if you have recipe, that says it needs one handful, boiled for 2 turns and then 2 handfuls grounded thats suuuuuuper easy!
    Put in the one handful into the base and let boil.
    Put in two handfuls (one rotation) into the mortar
    Use the mortar (one rotation), wait just a smidge and then add to the cauldron and get off from fire.
    Viola done and done, no need to bother with the sandglass and you have done your recepie with the least amount of actions!

    You should've made a Fox potion at the start to boost the EXP gain rate! Also, similar thing can be done with Dollmaker poison too, I've been using that on my bow and sword since day 1. It completely prevents them from moving faster than a snail, so it's super fun to see a mob of 10 bandits slowly creeping and dropping

    With all the skills and alchemy, Henry turns from a country bumpkin into a fully doped-up super knight.
    Later in the game, I always had an unpoisoned low-level weapon with me to avoid killing important NPCs in non-lethal duels.

      I kept one of my crafted hunting swords and Gnarly's club for that kind of thing, but I've just found a training longsword which obviously deals much less damage. I wonder if it'll be more useful when I need to make someone surrender lol

    There's an exploit that you start in the tutorial as well and then reap the benefits from afterwards. Anything you store in the chest in the small cave during the intro, before sneaking through the pond, can be picked back up afterwards when you revisit that initial campsite. There's a ton of gold and other items you can win or find before hand that come in really handy straight away.

    Saviory schnapps aren’t really necessary for quick saving. Just use save and quit, reopen the game, and reload. Repeat as needed for consequence free shenanigans.

      @videoboy16 the downside is that there's only one exit save. It gets overwritten every time.

      so true, I never used the schnapps. might be an option for people with slow PCs that take forever to reload the game though

    Hey you missed the initial exploit. If you place all your grochen in the chest you find the weighted dice in the intro, you can come back afterwards and loot 1500 grochen very quickly!
