I had the opposite issue. I was expecting a cool duel and he died to two masterstrikes.

This, I was like ''ugh... this guy took 2 hits and died after all this time''

Probably the first time he ever faced an opponent able to fight back.

Play defensively and quickly dodge if you fail a block.

Dont get hit lol

The second you load into the fight, take a couple steps back and create distance

Then just fight em like you would anyone else

Dude the mofo 1 shots me.

It's literally impossible, even if i get hit 1 time its over.

lol there is a sign showing you when to block. you can literally beat any endgame enemy with lvl 1 with the weakest sword and without any armor. just block and strike. the masterstrike is way harder to do.

Go back to the courtyard where your bed was and grab your armor

Learn how to do a masterstrike and then you will be teabagging everyone.

"How can i kill his ass ?"


ask Eric, he knows

[Hellsteeth30]

Put guards armour on, he has none. Seeing as you can't master strike, you'll have to be patient.

Use the table to buy recovery time, Henry has more respiratory issues than normal. He's now a 600lb invalid instead of a 170lb man with emphysema.

Though if you make the speech checks during the torture or fold immediately you can keep more of your stats.

He can not 1-shot you if you block his attacks. Stay passive, do not attack. Fish for master strikes. You can not afford to get his since you do not have any armor, which means you have to play passively-perfect block his attacks if you must but do not riposte back, keep your stamina high. Once you are comfortable with his attack patterns, master strike him once and back off. Rinse and repeat. Once you get past the initial shock that he can take away most of your health in a single hit, you will be fine.

This depends how much time you have spent gearing up and training your skills before you progressed the story to this point. I spent a lot of time there and my Warfare and Sword skill was around 15. The more time you spend leveling up, the easier time you will have in certain story moments.

With your fist...
or a stick.. a pointy stick, a sharp stick, a blunt stick... or.. just a stick

[Snorri]

Easiest way I've found was that if I kept my health above 0 and got his health to 0, I could beat him. Hope that helps

learn Master Strike first chance you get from Tom Cat though i only discovered him on my 2nd play through I did not learn Master Strike untill near the end of the game.

Don't fight like a dairy farmer ;)

[FrizzleFry]

I took him on 1st try today in a fair duell! 1-2 masterstrikes and jobs done
