How to unlock the Fancy Fighting achievement in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Definitive Guide
You can unlock this achievement pretty much immediately. Contrary to the first game, you have unlocked 2 combos with every weapon right from the start (aside unarmed).
The two combos are: 1) left - right - left 2) right - left - right
As soon as your first hit connects (your opponent has to just block it/being damaged, not perfect block it), hit it with the second attack, once it connects use the third one. You know you pulled it off because Henry does a different attack animation from the usual one. It may takes some practice.
Throughout the game you'll find masters who can teach you more combos.
My personal favourite is the Top-right-left (called Mittelhaw) and you learn it while doing the combat basics quest.
An enemy count as KILLED even if they surrender, the important thing is that the damage he receives to reach that stage (or be killed) has to be done by a combo. So you can chip his life with normal attacks and as soon as it's low, finish him with a combo. Later on the game, with better weapons and weak enemies, you can one-shot people with one combo. It may take some practice to pull it off, training helps a ton!
Happy hunting!

This is a short clip of me doing a combo and killing an enemy. The combo used is the Mittelhaw:

There are various weapon combos you can learn in and around Bohemia in KCD2. These are for all weapons and can be learned in a variety of different ways. So, the first thing you need to do is learn a combo - Henry will start with a few that he learns as part of the main story.
In case you want something a little more effective, though, you’ll find the following that you can learn (with coin) along the way (to name but a few):
- Master Tomcat (Nomad Camp - Trosky) - Knee Strike for 200 Groshen (Sword technique), Shield Deflect for 280 Groschen (Shield technique) and Hammer for 200 Groschen (Unarmed technique)
- Captain Gnarly (Semine - Trosky) can teach Zorn Ort (Longsword technique), Mittelhaw High (Sword technique) and Stomach Slice (Polearm technique)
- Jan Posy of Zimburg (Zimburg Ruins - Kuttenberg) - False Edge (Sword technique), Durchlauffen (Sword technique) and Scissor Strike (Unarmed technique)
- Dry Devil (Devil’s Den - Kuttenberg) - Zorn Ort (Longsword technique), Pommel Strike (Longsword technique) and Strong Edge (Sword technique)
Then, when you have a combo mastered, wait until an enemy is low health, or even unaware, and perform the combo on them.
If you kill them with the combo, the ‘Fancy Fighting’ achievement will unlock.
