In-Game Cheat Menu (F8) (15 Languages) v2.4.1

---

Use F8 to bring up a cheat menu made from the game’s own UI artwork. While it is open, the game is paused. The available cheats cover Henry, items, NPCs and the world.

Features

Menu

• The frame comes from the game’s carved wooden inventory panel, complete with red bands, gold-leaf highlights, gold tooltip dividers and the game’s font.
• Its four tabs are Henry, Items, NPCs and World.
• Buttons marked with a small arrow lead to sub-menus: Item Browser, Duel Arena, Soldiers & Horses, Teleport to Town and Henry’s Face.
• Your current location appears in the top bar. Select Back or the tab to go back one level.
• Below the title, a line explains the result of your most recent click.

Henry

Player

• With Restore Everything, health, stamina, food and energy are all filled in one click.
• Cure Everything clears poison, food poisoning, drunkenness, hangover, alcoholism, overeating, bleeding and injuries at once.
• Free Indulgence restores reputation exactly as paying for an indulgence at the church would, but costs nothing.
• Wash Me removes every trace of dirt and blood from you and your clothes.
• Save Now saves at your current position, using the same kind of save made when you sleep. Saviour Schnapps is not required.
• Mark This Spot / Return to Mark stores your current position and later teleports you there from anywhere on the map.

Cheat modes

• God Mode prevents all damage. Hits, bleeding, poison, food poisoning and falls cause no health loss, limbs cannot be injured, and you cannot die or be knocked out. Turning it on also removes bleeding, poison and injuries already affecting you.
• Under Infinite Stamina, sprinting, attacking, blocking, dodging and being hit use no stamina, whether you are in combat or not.
• Never Hungry/Tired keeps food and energy at 100.
• Unseen & Unheard prevents guards and enemies from noticing you, while you produce no noise.
• Carry More adds +1,000 carrying capacity.
• Weapons, armour and clothes keep their condition with Gear Never Wears.
• Learn 3x Faster gives triple experience to every stat and skill.
• Damage (OFF / x2 / x3 / x5 / x10 / x100) multiplies the melee-weapon and bow damage you deal. Every click advances to the next level.
• Speech Master makes you win every persuade, coerce, impress, dominate, might and dread dialogue check.
• Always Clean means your body and clothing never become dirty or bloody.
• Unlimited Reading lets you read books continuously without reaching the “read too much” limit.
• Free Saving allows a save from the game menu at any time and does not use Saviour Schnapps.

Stats and skills

• Strength, Agility, Vitality or Speech can each be raised by +1, all four can be raised by +5, or all four can be set to 30.
• Each of 21 skills can be increased by +1 or +5, or taken directly to 30. This includes every weapon skill, Defence, Fencing, Stealth, Thievery, Horsemanship, Alchemy, Cooking, Craftsmanship, Scholarship, Survival, Drinking, Houndmaster and the other main skills.
• Single Skills opens a page where every skill has one button and its current level is shown. Each click raises only the selected skills by +1, +5, +10 or straight to 30.

The game’s maximum is 30, and levels stop there.

Perks and recipes

• Unlock All Perks unlocks every perk in every skill and stat tree, together with the main-level perks, 252 in total. When two perks exclude one another, neither one is forced on you.
• Learn All Recipes / Learn All Combos / Learn All Books provides all 32 alchemy recipes and 60 smithing recipes, all 52 combat combos, and the skill XP from all 77 skill books.
• Reset Perks removes every skill and stat perk, allowing you to choose them again.
• Remove Hardcore Perks takes away Hardcore mode’s negative perks.

Hair and face

• Next Hairstyle / Next Beard moves through the styles available from the barber.
• Using Henry’s Face gives Henry the face, hair, beard and clothes of one of 7 story characters: Albich of Uniczow, Erik, Godwin, Hans Capon, Hanush of Leipa, Jan Žižka or Radzig Kobyla. This appearance is not saved. Load a save to restore Henry’s own face.

Items

Money and items

• Each click grants +1,000, +10,000 or +100,000 groschen.
• You can add +5 Saviour Schnapps, +20 lockpicks, +100 arrows, or +5 of every repair kit: weapon, armour, tailor, cobbler and bowyer.
• Five of each potion can be added: Marigold Decoction, Digestive Potion, Painkiller Brew and Aqua Vitalis. All are the best quality.

Item bundles

• Best Weapons supplies the strongest regular longsword, sword, mace and axe, along with the Ash longbow and 100 arrows.
• Full Plate Armour gives the best item for every armour layer, starting with bascinet and mail hood and ending with plate legs and boots, 11 pieces altogether.
• The Item Browser contains every game item, about 1,400 of them, arranged across 22 tabs for weapons, ammunition, shields, each armour slot, jewellery, horse gear, potions, food, alchemy, poisons, utility, keys, dice, badges and more. It uses the game’s own inventory icons and item names.
• Hovering over an item displays its damage, defence, armour, charisma, food values, weight and requirements. A key also displays its note.
• Within each tab, sorting is available by name, damage type or any stat.
• Search all tabs with your keyboard or the on-screen A-Z letters. Matches can use the name in your language or English, and accents and spaces are ignored.
• Turning Colour Variants: ON on adds every colour of garment, shield and horse gear, for about 3,400 items overall.
• Amount selects between 1 and 100 items for each click. Shift+click supplies 10 times the selected amount. Arrows, the mouse wheel and wrap-around page movement let you browse the pages.

More items

• The additional choices are Firearms & Ammo, +10 of Each Herb and +10 Smithing Materials.

NPCs

• Spawn Bandit / Spawn Cuman places an armed enemy 5 m in front of you, where it attacks.
• Elite Bandit / Elite Cuman works the same way, but the enemy wears heavy armour, with the bandit in full plate, and has every stat and fighting skill at 30.
• Spawn Soldier creates an armed soldier allied with you. The soldier fights the enemies that were spawned.
• Through Soldiers & Horses, you can choose soldiers wearing the colours of 9 lords: Hanush of Leipa, Kuttenberg, Otto von Bergow, Semine, Ruthard, Nebakov, Prague, Vavak and King Sigismund. Select a lord, then spawn soldiers for your side or against you, or spawn a rideable war horse in that lord’s caparison. A lord without a personal caparison receives an armoured war horse.
• Remove Spawned NPCs deletes every NPC created by the menu, whether alive or dead.
• Duel Arena offers 32 story characters with their own faces, outfits and weapons, among them Jan Žižka, the Dry Devil, Radzig Kobyla, Hanush, Hans Capon, Godwin, Katherine, Otto von Bergow, Erik, Istvan Toth and King Sigismund. Choose the blue or red side. The two groups fight one another and leave you alone. They are look-alikes, so the real story characters are not affected. Duel fighters do not flee or surrender and receive half damage, meaning each duel continues to the end. Outfit puts the next fighter in the clothing of one of the 9 lords’ soldiers, while Colour changes their own clothes to another colour available for them in the game.

Person in front

• For the person you face, and who is no more than 8 m away, you can choose Heal, Knock Out, Kill or Befriend.

Animals and people

• Spawn Deer, Stag, Boar or 3 Wolves creates them 10 m ahead of you. Remove Spawned NPCs removes them again.
• Rich Traders gives every trader within 30 m at least 5,000 groschen with which to buy your loot.
• Enemies within 40 m lose their nerve and surrender when you use Scare Enemies.

Horse and dog

• Summon Horse / Summon Mutt calls your horse or Mutt to you from anywhere.
• Restore Horse / Restore Mutt restores either one to full health.
• Best Horse Gear supplies the best horse-gear item for each slot, 6 pieces.
• Super Horse (on/off) gives your horse more stamina, top speed and carrying capacity.
• Fearless Horse (on/off) prevents your horse from panicking or being pulled down.

Crimes

• Remove Punishments clears the brand, pillory and beating punishments imposed after a crime.

Reputation

• Best Reputation first does what an indulgence does, then makes every nearby townsperson, guard and monk like you. In a town, this applies to the whole region. The change finishes within a few seconds after the menu is closed.
• Reputation Status displays the lowest and average reputation for the places around you.

World

Time and weather

• +1 Hour / Skip to Morning advances the clock without sleeping or waiting.
• Choose 06:00 / 12:00 / 18:00 / 00:00 to set the time of day directly.
• Night Vision (on/off) lets you see in darkness like with a Nighthawk potion, for as long as desired.
• Set Weather to (Auto / Rain / Clear), and switch Freeze Time (on/off).

Travel and map

• Teleport to Town lists every town on the map you are currently using, each under its own name.
• To use Teleport to Map Marker, place your own marker on the world map, close the map and click the option to travel there.
• Reveal Map uncovers the entire map.
• With Points of Interest ON, the regional world map displays every point of interest, including shops, camps, hunting spots and fast travel points. It also shows points you have not found, using the game’s “undiscovered” appearance. These appear only on the map and nothing is saved.

Skills and minigames

• Easy Lockpicking (on/off) provides a much wider sweet spot, removes shaking and prevents lockpicks from breaking.
• Easy Pickpocketing (on/off) reveals all items at once, without a penalty for time or angle.
• When Master Smith (on/off) is active, bad strikes and overheating do not reduce quality, and hammering costs no stamina.
• Master Alchemist (on/off) allows any step order, produces every potion in the best quality and ignores herb freshness.
• Steady Aim (on/off) stops the bow from swaying.
• Dice & Badges adds 12 gold badges and 8 special dice.
• Always Win Dice (on/off) makes your throws the best every time and prevents you from busting.
• Trader Prices (Normal / Cheap / Free) makes goods from every trader cheaper or free.

Controls and keys

• Press F8 to open or close the menu. To change it through the game’s key bindings, use Settings > Key Binding, group General, entry Cheat Menu. If another mod has replaced the game’s key binding files and the entry is absent, choose the key in the menu at World > Key Binding > Cheat Menu: F8.
• Esc or the corner X closes the menu.
• The console command cheatmenu does the same thing as F8.
• F6 performs a quick save. Change it at Settings > Key Binding > General > Cheat Menu: Quick Save.

Languages

The menu uses the game’s text language and changes immediately when you change that language in the settings. It supports 15 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Czech, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese.

Item, stat and skill names come from the game’s own wording for each language, including Retterschnaps, Agilität and 救世干酒. For Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the menu uses the game’s own fonts.

How it works

• Except for the spawn buttons and the horse, dog, trader and enemy buttons, all functions affect Henry only.
• Cheat modes are never saved in your save file. They remain active when another save is loaded during the same session, but turn off when the game is restarted, so a save cannot accidentally carry god mode. If Keep Cheats On (World > Settings) is enabled, they remain on after a restart as well.
• Restarting the game also forgets the marked spot.
• Money, items, levels and reputation added by the menu become permanent parts of the save. There is no undo.
• Spawned NPCs and animals are ordinary NPCs and remain where they are. Use Remove Spawned NPCs to remove them.
• F8 is also used by some other mods, for example KCD2 Companion, which uses it to jump to the tracked quest. If another mod also has F8 assigned, give the cheat menu another key in Settings > Key Binding or in the menu.

Installation

For Vortex, install and enable the mod as usual.

Manual:

1. Open the game folder. In Steam, right-click the game > Manage > Browse local files.
2. Extract the archive into the Mods folder and keep its folder structure. The result should contain Modscheat_menumod.manifest, Modscheat_menuDatacheat_menu.pak and the Modscheat_menuLocalization folder. If there is no Mods folder, create it.
3. IMPORTANT, do not skip this step: in the game folder’s Mods folder, open Modsmod_order.txt and add a new line containing exactly cheat_menu. Create the file if necessary. The game only loads mods listed in this file. Without this line F8 does nothing. Vortex and other mod managers add this line automatically.
4. Start the game, load a save and press F8.

Uninstallation

Before removing the mod, clear any spawned NPCs with Remove Spawned NPCs. Then delete the Modscheat_menu folder or disable the mod in Vortex. Your saves continue to work.

Compatibility

Made and tested on game version 1.5.

To add its key to the game’s key bindings, the mod supplies its own copies of two game files: Libs/Config/defaultProfile.xml and Libs/Config/keybindSuperactions.xml. Free Saving uses copies of the game’s Esc menu files, Libs/UI/Menu.gfx and Libs/UI/UIElements/Menu.xml. Teleport to Map Marker uses a copy of the world map, Libs/UI/ApseMap.gfx. For the Duel Arena faces, one line is added to the game’s storm.xml through the game’s own merge file, Libs/Storm/storm__cheat_menu.xml, without using a copy. Henry’s Face uses copies of the head models of 30 story characters and 11 hairstyles, marked to remain hidden in first person like Henry’s own head. Without these models, the back of the eyes may appear during close-up animations. All other content consists of new files, a script, a menu, its own buffs and texts, and two armour sets for the elite spawns.

• If another mod also replaces those two files, as mods that add or change key bindings usually do, the mod loaded last takes priority. If the other mod loads last, Settings > Key Binding has no Cheat Menu entry. The menu’s World > Key Binding button can then select the key, and the selection is stored in Saved Gameskingdomcome2cheat_menu_settings.xml.
• Unlimited Saving II replaces those same two files for its Quick Save key. The cheat menu copies include it, so if the cheat menu loads after it, place cheat_menu below usii in Modsmod_order.txt. Both then work: F5 quick-saves and the cheat menu key can be rebound. Quick Save will not appear in Key Binding and remains on F5. If usii loads last, choose the cheat menu key in the menu instead.
• If another mod also replaces the Esc menu and loads last, Free Saving continues to save without using schnapps, but the game’s schnapps question returns.
• If another mod replaces the world map as well and loads last, Teleport to Map Marker may be unable to find your marker.
• If another mod replaces one of the head or hair models and loads later, that face continues to work with Henry’s Face, but the back of its eyes may appear in first person.
