Reclaiming their crown, pacifist Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 player beats the whole RPG as “Merciful Henry”: 1,741 strikes blocked, 472 knockouts, and zero kills

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has a lot of killing; it turns out that Bohemia, in the midst of a civil war in the 1400s, is a pretty violent place. The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance did offer players a reason to chill out on the killing with the ‘Merciful’ achievement, which rewarded you for completing the main quest without a kill. However, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has no such achievement, making for an inherently more violent game. But that hasn’t stopped people from practicing pacifism.

Almost two months after launch, a player known as hamfinity has come forward announcing to the r/kingdomcome subreddit that they have completed the game with no kills in order to continue the adventure of the Merciful playthrough. The post says, “becoming medieval Batman was one of my most fun gaming experiences from playing the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance.” The user added, “In the early weeks of release, the combat was changing from patch to patch, so I decided to avoid the intended weapons and go fully Batman.”
