Chain attack doesn't work

[Alex Helders]

*edited*

After the overpower attack where you can perform light attacks, I am unable to achieve these light attacks. This mechanic I believe is bugged. I have not been able to get it to work and some others in the comments haven't been able to get it to work either.

Example of chain attack not working after clicking left click when prompted:

There are two attack after overpower and context which shows up is incorrect, basically.

If you do the overpowered kill to a person, then press RB (xbox pad, light\fast attack on keybo, dunno), then your character will switch to enemy's melee and then select any other enemy around and press RB again.

If your overpowered attack not kills, but leaves some health, even 1%, then you can't do anything but contexnt shows up for some weird reason (Press RB for blah).

The first action works fine with one handed weapons.

The second action fails all the time, but if you have perk and 2 dual hands weapon then you can hump on the enemy and continue smashing RB to do extra (but very minor) damage.

Okay, so if you're saying the chain attack ONLY WORKS when you are holding dual weapons, that means they need to remove the prompt that shows me i can chain attack when using a weapon that ISN'T a dual weapon. This is a bug and should be patched in the next patch.

You shouldn't be getting a prompt--like in this video--when you can't actually do a chain attack.

No chain attack actually also works with swords.Havent tried the heavy or the spear though.

Yeah for the sword the animation plays and as a chain attack Bayek bashes the enemy with the sheild.With Enemy scaling i usually require Overpower+1hit to kill the brutes.But The prompt for Overkill doesnt show in these cases.

Just for informational purposes, I've gotten all of the attacks to work now. Some are a bit iffy, but if you anticipate them enough, most of them work for me.

One thing I did notice on the Overpower Combo that says you can follow up with a chain of light attacks. It has to be LIGHT two-handed weapons, like the dual blades: mirror, Jutes & Cimbri, motivationals, etc. The ones listed under DUAL work, but no others. The description (once again) for this perk is misleading, or isn't informative enough, I think. It really should mention the restriction to DUAL weapons explicitly. Can anyone confirm? Can you get it to work with anything else? Because I can't.

Still trying to get Overpower Combo to work with Sword and Board, but here's a shot I did of Overpower Chain Throw about 5 minutes ago.

That's the thing though. I don't think you CAN do it with sword and board. It has to be TWO single-handed weapons for the follow-up light attacks.

Pretty sure you're correct on Overpower Combo. I use instant charge Stormblades for dual wield, and managed to get a Chain throw off using it.. timing is everything. Not sure what he was aiming at as you can see the 'baby' blade stuck in the wall. Also, Chain Throw success seems to always leave them facedown (initial enemy).

UPDATE: Case cased. Chain attacks don't work on regular weapons. They only work using dual weapons. Game fails to tell you this. The chain attack prompt will show until you unlock the overpower chain throw. This chain throw will instead work.

(oops, sorry, edit. Had to fix this.) I got mixed up: There is more than one chain attack (one is Throw).

Chain Attack only works with dual weapons, but the game doesn't specify that.

Chain Throw works with most (if not all?) melee weapons, as far as I can determine.

The chain attack(Chain throw is aform of that) works with the weapons having blue adrenaline meter,the weapons which dont go into fury mode but deal massive damage with one shot.These weapons are

1)Dual wield
2)Swords regular
3) Heavy
4)Spear

Sickle swords,Heavy blunt and scepters have fury mode

[Alex Helders]

Only dual wield. Rest do a chain throw; before unlocking this perk, nothing happens. Don't want to go in circles, we already had this discussion.

For me its rather iffy going off when dont want it to or not at all. Sometimes in sneak when dont want to use it because can get me detected. He does it anyway which is rather annoying. Or when you do want it to go off he forgets to do it.

Quite an old thread, I know. But I just unlocked this ability a while ago and thought it wasn't working due to going off of what the little clip showing you what the effect was like (looking at it again, it does show its use when using dual swords). I have pretty much been using sword and shield through my playthrough, barely used anything else yet.

But I did notice that the overpower combo DOES work with sword and shield, it just isn't like how the animation shows when you hover over the ability. While using the overpower ability without left clicking after, Bayek will just kick the enemy off and away from him, but when left clicking after the overpower ability when it prompts, he actually whacks the enemy with his shield, which for me tends to finish the enemy off.

So just keep an eye out as it seems that certain weapons do actually do the combo, the only difference is the animation or means of doing the combo compared to the little video of the ability.
