Long Candlestick - Alternate between whacking his head with the long end and thrusting at his belly the spikey end.
Knife - Stick him in the belly after he misses a downward swing.
Shovel - Sidestep to your left and whack his left arm after he misses a downward swing. Do this 2 - 3 times uand his arm will break, you will hear the crack and see his arm weaken greatl. Then just whale on him.

Bait out downward swings and hit him before he brings it back up to swing again.

A small patch released today. Mostly fixes to falling over/getting up and weapon handling. The fatal errors aren't fixed yet, but the devs say they're working on a fix and that it's related to gore (NB turning blood and gore down helps avoid fatal errors in the ultimate challenge).
Hello everyone,

Here's a small update addressing some of the frustrations you mentioned in the previous build:


  • Falling down is now harder
  • Getting up is faster
  • Weapon handling has been improved
  • Performance improvement (might not be perfect though, we're stil working on it)


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand:

  • We brought ground fight back.

____________________________________________________________
About Fatal Crashes:
We’re aware of the fatal crashes, especially during the Baron fight. These issues stem from a third-party Unreal Engine plugin we’ve been using for some of the blood and gore effects.
While we initially tried to debug it, we’ve hit its limitations. That’s why we’re now developing our own in-house solution, which will be ready for the Early Access release — offering both improved stability and next-level wounds for you to inflict on poor Willie.

Thanks again for the tremendous support, we still can’t believe how big Half Sword has gotten, and it’s not even out yet!

Also someone made a mod for custom weapons which I thought was cool. I was under the impression Unreal engine games are hard as fuck to mod, so I'm not really sure how this guy did it.

the strat to beating the gauntlet is picking the spiked stick in tier 4 and sticking with that for the rest of the game.

Before that, the pitchfork from tier 2 is your best bet, especially against the tier 3 boss with his big fuck-off sword. Love the spikey staves though; it's so satisfying to land a clean hit to the head with them, especially against higher tier enemies. They're definitely overpowered though, hell, you don't even have to use the submission mechanic when using one. With the staves, one or two good blows to the head will knock any enemy unconscious, if not break their neck and/or kill them, regardless of armor. It's kind of ludicrous how good they are.

Artilleryman's advice is solid, but another method can be holding alt. Holding alt with a weapon puts you in a stabbing stance and makes enemies less willing to come into range. You can use that feature to back bosses into a fence, which will stun them temporarily and give you an opening to swing at them.
