Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Best 5 Shortswords in the Game

BBG News

In the hypothetical sequel to “Kingdom Come: Deliverance,” players have access to a variety of weapons, and Henry has the ability to master most of them with sufficient training. A diverse assortment of swords is available, among which shortswords are particularly noteworthy due to their lightweight construction and effectiveness for rapid thrusting attacks. Here, we’ll explore some top-tier shortswords you can obtain in the game!

Best 5 Shortswords in the Game

As a devoted gamer, I must say that the game boasts an impressive variety of swords, but if you’re on the hunt for versatile options, shortswords are definitely worth considering. They’re not ideal for every situation, but they excel in most general combat scenarios unless you specifically require a bludgeoning weapon. These swords are ubiquitous throughout the game, making them easy to come by. Here are some of the standout blades that I recommend you keep an eye out for:

CAUTION: The following may contain a significant plot revelation, but we’ll strive to keep it obscure. Proceed with caution!

This way of phrasing the original text maintains the warning about potential spoilers while using simpler and more conversational language.

Shortsword #1 – The Basilard

In the realm of this captivating game, I frequently come across a versatile tool known as the Basilard. These crafty blacksmiths in the land have them up for sale, and if luck favors me, I stumble upon them hidden within crannies and nooks scattered throughout the game’s two enchanting regions. Occasionally, cunning enemies yield one too, making it easier for me to acquire without venturing too far and wide. It’s a relatively common find, adding a touch of convenience to my adventures!

From a folklore perspective, the origin of this weapon is said to be the city of Basel in Switzerland; however, its authenticity remains unverified. In certain regions during the medieval period, common people were prohibited from possessing swords. Given its size, it doesn’t fall under the traditional definition of a sword, making it accessible to peasants. This could potentially be the reason why many outlaws are found wielding this weapon.

Regarding its stats, the level 3 version of this weapon showcases an impressive stab of 115 and slash of 121, boasting a defense of 198 as well. Additionally, it has a durability rating of 108. Notably, it has minimal blunt damage, which is to be expected given its blade nature.

You can also create one of these on your own if you manage to get hold of its recipe. This homemade version might even have superior attributes. The ‘Sketch – Basilard’ item required for crafting it can be found in a cave situated close to Apollonia, a town in the Trosky region. The recipe includes:

  • 1x Fastening Material
  • 1x Copper
  • 1x Exotic Wood
  • 1x Toledo Steel
  • 1x Iron

Shortsword #2 – The Knight’s Sword

The Knight’s Sword is essentially as its name suggests. It’s a standard weapon, known for its substantial blade end that makes it particularly effective against heavily-armored foes, given its weight.

Similar to a broadsword, you can acquire this item from multiple blacksmiths scattered across the map. It’s quite prevalent among stronger foes, but keep in mind that it’s unlikely that less formidable enemies such as common bandits will possess it.

This knight’s sword showcases impressive stats, such as 149 stabbing power, 157 slashing ability, 225 defense, and 238 durability. However, it only has a modest 47 blunt force. Many players claim that its design might be experiencing technical difficulties, making crafting it challenging.

Regarding short swords, this particular one stands out for its exceptional durability, ensuring a long lifespan. Additionally, it delivers decent damage, surpassing most others by a slight margin. The alternative with nearly equal performance is…

Shortsword #3 – The Noble’s Sword

As a devoted enthusiast, I must say that the Noble’s Sword, as its name suggests, is a meticulously crafted blade designed for those gracefully residing atop the social hierarchy. It’s often touted as one of the superior shortswords when it comes to value and statistics, yet it carries an apparent vulnerability.

You can obtain it from different vendors and smiths, especially in the Kuttenberg area. Additionally, some chests might contain it, or you could get it from certain non-player characters (NPCs).

Regarding its statistics, it boasts a stab of 143, slash of 150, defense of 213, and a significantly low durability of 52. Compared to other choices here, it appears quite fragile; however, its damage output is undeniably high.

You can create it if you stumble upon the “Noble’s Sword” Sketch in a deserted blacksmith’s workshop close to Mesoles. To craft your own version, you’ll need these additional resources as well:

  • 1x Decorated sword pommel
  • 1x Deer skin
  • 1x Horned sword guard
  • 1x Iron
  • 1x Toledo Steel

Shortsword #4 – Lord von Bergow’s Sword

Based on its title, it seems quite clear that this artifact might significantly impact the plot’s climax. You may deduce its role from now on, as you can’t create a variant of it yourself. Let’s jump right into its specifications instead.

This blade boasts a piercing power of 149, a cutting power of 157, offers a defense of 225, and approximately 120 durability. Essentially, it’s a less robust version of the Knight’s Sword. The primary distinction is that you can obtain this sword by advancing through the game rather than having to acquire it specifically.

The design of this sword resembles the Noble’s Blade, given its former owner. It serves as a handy alternative until you acquire the top-tier shortsword within the game, which I aim to obtain next.

Shortsword #5 – Sword of Sir Valentine

You can create the “Sword of Sir Valentine” as a weapon, following the completion of a side quest titled “The Reliquary“. This quest begins when you converse with a “Humble Knight“, who is situated to the northwest of the “Sedletz Monastery“.

The journey isn’t too challenging or intricate when you get to the Kuttenberg area, so don’t hesitate to embark on it whenever it suits you. The sword you’ll find is essentially a duplicate of the weapon that Sir Valentine once wielded, and I’ll let you uncover the rest of the details as you go along.

You’ll craft this item as part of a sub-mission, but you might not get to try it immediately due to certain unspecified factors. To create it, here are the necessary components:

  • 1x Copper
  • 1x Straight sword guard
  • 1x Cow skin
  • 1x Coin sword pommel
  • 1x Frankfurt steel
  • 1x Scrap metal

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at its staggering stats: a mind-blowing 159 stab power, 167 slash, an impressive 242 defense, and a durability of 128! It may not be the toughest blade in the bunch, but when it comes to sheer power among shortswords, it reigns supreme. And let’s not forget its distinct appearance – a feature that could easily make it a must-have for any discerning collector like myself.
