Reforged Radzig Kobyla’s Longsword

Perhaps, the Reforged Radzig Kobyla’s Longsword stands as the undisputed champion and the best sword in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. First, you’ll acquire the base version of this iconic weapon halfway through the main story. Usually, this comes after defeating Istvan Toth and before venturing into Kuttenberg.

It has expansive upgrade potential which makes the sword truly impressive. Using the original sword as an ingredient at a forge can create its reforged version with improved stats. However, to optimize the results, you have to unlock the Martin’s Secret Craftsmanship perk before forging. This makes sure that it’ll create the highest possible quality of the sword.

Once properly crafted, your Longsword will have an outstanding power rating of 168 which no other weapon in the game can match. At the same time, you only have one chance to forge this masterpiece. So, you have to make sure that you save your game before you attempt any upgrade. Plus, the reforging blueprint instantly becomes available after acquiring the original sword from the main quest.

Master Menhart’s Longsword

One of the best swords in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is Master Menhart’s Longsword. You’ll acquire this sword from an encounter with the German sword master Menhart in Kuttenberg. You have to complete the side quest “Ars Dimicatoria” which requires you to help Menhart. He has to reclaim his position in the swordmaster’s guild alongside winning the subsequent tournament.

However, you cannot forge Menhart’s Longsword beyond the level two quality. Yet, it is still valuable for players that have not yet started investing in Craftmanship. Also, players can enhance this sword with the Razor-sharp perk. It is a great alternative until the crafting of a reforged Radzig sword is unavailable.

Ataman’s Sabre

If you prefer one-handed combat, then this is one of the best swords for you in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The Ataman Sabre serves as the pinnacle of cutting weaponry, especially, with its curved blade that causes enemies to bleed. It is effective when used against heavily armored opponents. 

All you need is to place your strikes well to leave your foes bleeding out and shortening lengthy duels. The sketch for Ataman’s Sabre is at Sigismund’s camp where you can craft it yourself at the same time. Pairing it with the Cutting Edge perk makes it extremely effective as it enhances the bleeding effects. However, this weapon demands highly skilled warriors for stat requirements of 18 Strength and 22 Agility. 

Sword of Sir Valentine

The Sword of Sir Valentine comes across as one of the best swords in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. It has an exceptional blade that becomes available on “The Reliquary” task found at the north of Sedletz Monastery in Kuttenberg.

The Martin’s Secret perk usually works best with the Sword of Sir Valentine. It creates the highest possible masterclass quality and damage output among one-handed swords. The Dominant Hand (Agility) and Back Alley Skirmisher (Thievery) enhance the effectiveness of this sword. These provide buffs while using the one-handed sword without a shield.

Although players need to have 15 Strength and 22 Agility to equip this weapon first. It’s worth it though as it offers an unparalleled performance for one-handed swordsmen.

Rikonari’s Sabre

A great early-game option will be the Rikonari’s Sabre which is also one of the best swords. You can only acquire this weapon during the quest “The Voivode’s Curs” which begins at the nomad camp. You need to engage in a conversation with the Voivode about his missing daughter.  

This sabre is extremely special for its surprisingly strong stats right from the beginning of the adventure. The quest tasked you to craft this “cursed” weapon to finish the task. You should try aiming for at least tier-three quality since you only have one opportunity to forge. To wield this effectively, you would need 14 Strength and 17 agility.

Plus, you can hold onto this Sabre as long as possible before completing the quest. You can use it until you acquire an even stronger Ataman’s Sabre in the latter half of the game.

Conclusion

These are 5 of the best swords in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 that you can use to succeed in challenging quests. Besides their high-tier quality, pairing them up with effective perks increased their skill stats for better gameplay. So, you really need to think carefully about which of these swords should accompany your adventure.
