Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 - The best sword

Getting a sword can be relatively difficult in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Fortunately, however, you can obtain one of the best swords early in the game. The best sword in the game is Radzig Kobyla's Sword , as it offers the best combination of damage, reach, and scaling.

However, there are better alternatives for other playstyles. Especially in the early game, it can make sense to focus on other swords, since obtaining this sword requires traveling to Kuttenberg, reaching level 26 in crafting, and acquiring three pieces of Toledo steel.

Which sword is best for me?

Choosing the best sword depends mainly on your playstyle. Some swords are heavier but more powerful, while others are faster and allow for more actions.

The Nomad Leader's Sabre - Before Kuttenberg

To obtain the nomad leader's saber—which you can get early in the game without having to travel to Kuttenberg—you need to complete the quests “The Voivode's Curse” and “Mir Fajita.” You'll receive the saber as part of the quest.

In the starting area of the village of “Tachov,” the blacksmith will give you a quest to forge a very powerful sword. This quest becomes available after you've made some progress in the wedding quest. Keep asking the blacksmith what's going on, and eventually you'll receive this quest.

You’ll receive the quest from Aranka at the nomad camp west of Zhelejov. She’ll ask you to forge the sword and provide you with most of the materials needed. The quest is called “The Voivode’s Curse.”

All the necessary materials can be purchased from the blacksmith in the camp. The only additional material you’ll need is (deer hide). Once you’ve finished forging, tell Aranka that you weren’t able to forge the sword. This will complete the quest, and you can keep the sword. However, if you handed the sword over first, you can later steal it back from her. She will recognize the sword, though, if you carry it around openly.

Radzig Kobyla's Longsword - available only after Kuttenberg, so later in the game

To obtain this sword, you must first complete the “The Reliquary” side quest. To do this, you must have already traveled to Kuttenberg to find the knight north of the town, who will ask you to locate Sir Valentin's grave at Sedlitz Abbey.

Although there is no sword in the tomb itself, you will find the blacksmithing instructions. You will need:

• Copper
• Straight crossguard
• Cowhide
• Disc-shaped pommel
• Frankfurt steel
• Scrap metal

Conclusion

Which sword is the best in the game depends heavily on your own playstyle—but there’s one thing you shouldn’t overlook: timing when blocking is crucial, and stamina management is also vital to avoid taking unnecessary hits. Whether you prefer heavy two-handed swords like Radzig Koblya’s longsword, faster, defensive swords like Herr Valentin’s sword, or all-rounders like the Nomad Leader’s saber: there’s something for every playstyle, and we’ve listed the strongest of each type here.

• The objectively best sword: Radzig Kobyla's longsword
• The best sword for a defensive playstyle: Sir Valentin's Sword
• Best all-around weapon to start with: Nomad Leader's Saber
