The Bardiche is a weapon used in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It is held in Henry's main hand and classified as an axe.

See also bardiche (polearm).

Description

A traditional tool that can also be used for combat. Compared to a sword, the axe has greater impact and is thus suited to the dealing [sic] with heavily armoured opponents. But it's heavier and therefore slower and, above all, doesn't give much cover, especially if the axe was originally intended for work and doesn't have a metal-plated handle.

How to Obtain

• Sold by the weaponsmith in Sasau
• Sometimes carried by Cumans
• Sometimes carried by Bandits

Notes

• The axe head is socketed on a short curved wooden haft, with a strip of cloth tied around the center of the haft as a grip. The axe head consists of a larger, cleaver like blade, with no affixed spike or hook, making the weapon a poor choice for poking and use against heavily armored foes. Strangely, the axehead seems to be missing the signature 'double socketing', of the 'bardiche' style axes; and seems to more closely resemble the bardiche's predecessor, the danish war axe.
