Kingdom Come Deliverance

Easily Beat the Bandit Leader in Kingdom Come Deliverance

Now, I don’t know about you, but I really struggled fighting the bandit leader in Kingdom Come Deliverance.  After watching four different videos telling me the best way to kill him. I was still no closer to my goal. The fight beforehand had left me with little health, I was bleeding way before the bandit leader saw me follow him up the ladder, so having a long drawn out fight was out of the question. Fortunately, I’ve done all of the hard work so that you can easily beat the bandit leader in Kingdom Come Deliverance.

How to easily beat the bandit leader in Kingdom Come Deliverance

Using a bow will put a quick end to the bandit leader. The most efficient way is 1-2 shots in the face. You can also do 6-8 shots in the chest.

Wrong Suggestions

Videos would suggest feinting and then tricking him with a combo. It was no good, he would throw me around if I got too close, and he’d block every attack.

Other videos suggested I go for the head, this seemed to make the most sense as he wasn’t wearing a helmet. Again, it was no good. He would block every attack, even if I would feint first.

The Solution

After playing around with a few things, I found an excellent strategy that nobody seems to be talking about. 

  1. At the beginning when he starts to run at you, sprint past him while drawing your bow.
  2. Once you get to the end of the room, pull back an arrow and hit him (use blu tack on your tv so you can hit him every time.)
  3. He will stagger back, you have two options, hit him again, or, if he’s too close, sprint to the other end of the room.
  4. Repeat this process until the bald bandit slumps over, you’ll be rewarded with a cool cutscene of Henry doing some wizardry with a sword, if only we were that good.
