In Half Sword, forcing an enemy to surrender goes beyond simply attacking them until they’re dead. The game’s combat allows you to target enemy limbs and keep pressure on them without going for a killing blow. Once you’ve gotten them to this state, it’s time to make them beg for mercy and force them to surrender.

How to Make Enemies Surrender
Before we get into the art of making your enemies surrender in Half Sword, make sure they’re either downed, cornered, exhausted, or disarmed. With that said, there are two ways to make your enemies surrender in Half Sword, and here’s what they are:
Taunting Enemies
You can easily make enemies surrender by putting your opponent to the ground, approaching them, and repeatedly pressing G on your keyboard. This will make your character spew taunts at the opponent. After a short while, the enemy will start begging for mercy, which means you’ve successfully made them surrender.
While it’s a convenient method to make them surrender, it may not work every time. Having your opponent downed is a critical step before you can make them surrender.
Pressing a Weapon Against Their Face
The next method to make enemies surrender quickly is by pressing your weapon against their face. In this method, you don’t need to hurl insults; all you have to do is get close, push them to the ground, and keep your weapon pressed against their face.
Shortly, the enemy will start begging for mercy, and you’ll win the battle without bloodshed. Just ensure that the enemy is on the ground, or on the verge of falling, before you attempt to make them surrender.
