⚔️ How to Get (& Upgrade) the BEST Sword in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II! ⚔️
🔥 Want to wield the most powerful sword in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II? We’ve got you covered! From finding it to upgrading it, we’ll walk you through every step to make sure you’re ready for battle.

This sword isn’t just any weapon—it’s a game-changer. Ready to unleash its full potential? 💥

In any RPG, what gives players the edge they need in its world — aside from their builds and stats — is the gear they have. Whether it’s a weapon or armor piece, a spell or trinket, or even the very items used to heal or repair. This common yet intrinsic feature is one of many factors contributing to its playability in games like The Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, and, notably, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

The world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is filled with as much danger as wonder, and atop all of that, a more than heavy dose of realism. A realistic RPG like KCD2 doesn’t have a ‘chosen one’ meant to save the realm, or even spells, enchantments or any other form of magic. In this grounded RPG, all players have to navigate Bohemia, and the dangers found therein are Henry, their skills, their wit, and whatever gear they find along the way. Thankfully, the latter can be found through various means, including bartering, thievery, and, most commonly, scavenging. But there are few pieces that stand above the rest, and among those, only one that truly gives players a keen edge in their travels: Radzig’s sword.

Radzig’s sword, or Sir Radzig’s Kobyla’s sword, is a weapon that any fan of Kingdom Come: Deliverance will know. Not only is it the first weapon players come across, but also the first one that they’re able to wield. In fact, it is the very first weapon Henry and his father forged in the first KCD game. Even at first glance, it is a weapon like no other. Forged with keen craftsmanship and fine steel, it is a weapon as beautiful as it is deadly.

As its name suggests, Radzig’s sword was made for Sir Radzig himself. It was meant to be delivered to him before the tragic events of the infamous Skallitz raid, the very same raid that changed Henry’s life forever.. Players of the first game will know all of this information, along with the fact that this sword was stolen from Henry twice over. They will also know that this same sword, along with the Skallitz raid, is the catalyst for a great deal of Henry’s actions and character, putting him on the path of adventure and striving for justice, honor, and vengeance.

During the events of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the sword is stolen, and Henry vows to himself to find it, no matter how long it takes. And thankfully, it doesn’t take that long at all, chronologically speaking anyway. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, days after the first game’s conclusion, Henry is able not only to find but also reclaim Radzig’s sword, and with it also claim vengeance on someone who wronged him.

For players, the journey is longer than that, a lot longer. Aside from the seven years since the first game, they will also need to play the sequel for hours before even coming close to getting Radzig’s sword. However, the journey is worth it, as Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is an amazing game filled with content, stories, and characters players will fall in love with on their journey through Bohemia.

As stated earlier, reclaiming Sir Radzig’s sword involves hours of playing through KCD2‘s main story. Specifically, it involves the quest “Storm”. During Storm, Henry, along with his compatriots, is captured by the same Istvan Toth who turned traitor in the first game and stole Radzig’s sword, making him another name to be added to Henry’s list of comeuppance. Thanks to a friendly and familiar face, Henry and his friends are freed, and Henry himself is tasked with both finding crucial orders and, to his approval, killing Istvan Toth.

Sneaking through Trosky Castle, players will find Istvan atop the Crone Tower. After a tense cutscene, players are given a list of options to choose from concerning Istvan, including how he dies. He can be killed dishonorably, in a fair fight, or players can ask him some questions before either option is taken. Honorably or dishonorably, Istvan is killed and thrown from the tower, and Henry regains Sir Radzig’s sword, or Radzig Kobyla’s longsword, as it is known now in the sequel.

From the outset, players will see just how deadly this weapon is. In its base form, Radzig’s sword’s stats are higher than most other weapons, and its appearance is arguably the most detailed, ornate, and intricate among all other weapons in the game. But what makes Radzig’s sword the best in the game? It can be upgraded even further.

Radzig Kobyla’s longsword, formidable as it is, can be made to be even more formidable. This can be done through blacksmithing, one of the crafting methods found within KCD2. Through blacksmithing, along with gaining three pieces of Toledo Steel, not to mention making as few mistakes as possible during the crafting process, players can make a new and improved weapon: the aptly named Reforged Radzig Kobyla’s sword. This increases the weapon’s stats even more and places it among the highest of KCD2‘s weapons.

But even at this height of supreme weaponry, there is an even higher echelon. One that can only be obtained by players who have invested heavily into the blacksmithing skill line; specifically, they must have obtained the ‘Martin’s Secret Craftsmanship’ perk. This, along with the Toledo Steel, will allow players to forge an even better weapon.

However, the process to do so must be done perfectly, as there cannot be any mistakes made during smithing. If all of this is done right, then players will be gifted from their hard work with a new sword, one that stands at the highest among all other weapons in the game: Henry’s Sword Reforged. However it’s made, Radzig’s sword stands out as one of the best weapons in the game, and the same goes for being one of the most ornate.

It involves hours of working through a long, albeit amazing storyline, but regaining this weapon is a must for any KCD player. And for Henry himself? It is as much a vendetta as it is a promise. A promise to regain all that was taken from him and bring justice to those who have wronged him. With Radzig’s sword, that’s a promise made all the easier to keep.
