The Sword In The Stone, how can you release this?

You increase your health, toughness and physique by 4 each from your first attempt, or max them out at 7.

I believe it is increase Strength by 5, Toughness by 3 and Health by 2 from the first check.

Anyway, when you go there and try afterwards, the people will say something. They may say, "you are looking unhealthy there, perhaps you need more health" or similar things, so that should indicate what to put up.

I think they told me to "beef up a bit , you got to do some more training" after i tried to get the sword. I levelled up strenght and it was mine.
I didn't pay attention to the levels. Sorry m8.

Spoiler: This is what you're supposed to do. You need to master physique, toughness, and health. There are several ways to do this. The long way is streetfighting and eating as much red meat as possible. If you didn't already know, red meat boosts strength points. The fast way is using ages of might potions for strength experience. But this is the fastest way, master the combat multiplier. To do this I suggest finding an area where monsters respawn endlessly. Then, be sure to get the spell physical shield (you'll need it). Next, I recommend having about 50 to 100 will potions on hand. They're cheap so this should be no problem. Now, activate physical shield. Don't worry
it won't automatically drain your mana unless you get hit. Then, use your guild
seal to teleport as close to the respawn area as you can. I chose the clifftop
path with its neverending undead coming up out of the ground to do this. But
with physical shield activated, take your strongest melee weapon and start hacking and slashing as fast and much as you can. You will get hit every now and then, so be sure to use those will potions as the in-game menu tells you to. Now, here's the trick. Get the multiplier up into the hundreds and use an ages of might potion quickly while the multiplier is still up and you'll get the multiplier amount times a 1000. Oh, and by the way, I know this wasn't asked
but you can get the bluetane cutlass by having the multiplier at a 100 and teleporting quickly to the demon door.

jungro, you do not need to maximise all your stats.

How it works is that when you first try, the game takes a reading of your current skills.

Now, from that reading, you need to level up physique +5, health +2 and toughness +3. If however doing that + levelling up causes it to reach its maximum, then that counts.

EG:
First try:

Physique = 3
Health = 2
Toughness = 4

Required stats:

Physique = 7 (reached maximum)
Health = 4
Tougness = 7

This is verified by countless others, you do not need to maximise all unless it is already too high.

stats?

Are you sure about that?
All my stats are at 7 and still I cant get the sword.
But this is my third try.
Maybe every try you need to max +1 the skills.

Just got the sword without maxing Health in my game. And yes, countless others have verified this behaviour, so you don't need to max.

Yeah, you only need to worry about Strength skills (the red ones), perhaps you are missing something or you haven't tried again?
