If you mean Sir Hans Capon’s practice duel in the Easy Riders main quest, equip the Training longsword, Padded coif and Composite kettle hat before speaking to him. In the duel, wait for the green shield prompt, perfect-parry, then attack when the blue prompt appears to riposte. Recover stamina between exchanges and repeat until enough training-sword hits land.
Which Hans fight this guide covers
This walkthrough is for the tutorial duel with Sir Hans Capon in Easy Riders, identified as the game’s second main quest in PowerPyx’s Easy Riders walkthrough. The quest has Henry equip training gear and speak to Hans for a swordfighting lesson, followed by the objective to defeat him in a duel. If you mean a later scene involving Hans, this advice is specifically for the practice duel.
Equip the required training gear
Before starting the lesson, make sure you have all three items:
- Training longsword
- Padded coif
- Composite kettle hat
The walkthrough says these items are required to start the fight. Talk to Hans in the training area when you are ready, then follow the tutorial prompts to draw your sword.
Use the parry-and-riposte rhythm
- Wait for the green shield prompt. Use the perfect-parry control shown on your screen rather than attacking immediately.
- Attack when the blue prompt appears. This performs the riposte after your successful parry.
- Recover stamina between exchanges. Avoid spending it all at once; let it return before engaging again.
- Repeat until the duel ends. The practice fight ends after enough hits with the training sword.
The walkthrough also mentions attacking as Hans is about to strike, but its primary recommendation is to perfect-parry and riposte. It estimates the duel may take about five minutes; that is only a guide estimate, not a fixed timer.
Follow the controls shown on your platform
The walkthrough lists PlayStation and Xbox equivalents, but the prompts on screen are the safest reference because controls vary by platform. Keyboard mappings were not verified in the walkthrough, so use the control prompt displayed in your own game rather than assuming a universal key.

Winning the duel is associated with the missable Déjà Vu trophy or achievement, according to the walkthrough. The available walkthrough does not establish whether losing blocks broader quest progression, so this guide cannot confirm the consequence of a loss.
