Kingdom Come: Deliverance - 15 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

6. Open Fights With Arrows To Guarantee Bleeding Damage

My favourite way to clean out a camp of bandits.

Sir Bernard will hint at the benefits of a dual style; making the most of your bow and arrow alongside a good blade, but did you know you can cause bleeding damage with arrows? A straight shot to the head will often kill (as will an R1/RB stab to the face), but aim for limbs and the body, and you'll cause bleeding damage that can kill many foes over time.

You'll know it's triggered as they'll reach for their side or otherwise change their posture. It's why a lot of combat gameplay videos suddenly see enemies crumple to the floor - they've finally succumbed to bleeding damage.
