Mastering the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
This guide details completing the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a crucial step in the blacksmith Radovan's questline, ultimately leading to a wedding gift.
Quest Initiation:
The Hermit quest unlocks automatically upon completing Radovan's tasks, specifically after returning the lost cart. Radovan will then request a special sword for a wedding gift, initiating this questline. Before confronting the hermit, however, you must gather information from Troskowitz villagers.
Gathering Information:
-
Troskowitz Tavern: Speak with Innkeeper Betty, exhausting all dialogue options. Then, converse with other villagers (e.g., the alehouse maid, trader) to gather clues.
-
Witness Accounts: Interview Gerda (potentially requiring Groschen or a successful dialogue check) who witnessed an apparition, and Stanislav in Apollonia (similarly requiring Groschen or a successful dialogue check).
-
Evidence Collection: Locate the cross mentioned by Gerda, requiring a spade (purchaseable or found in cemeteries). Dig to uncover Groschen and documents related to the Knights of the Cross. Examine these documents. Then, investigate the quest marker in Apollonia, finding a hut and a black horse; examine the horse for further clues.
Confronting the Hermit:
Proceed to the hermit's hut. Presenting the gathered evidence is crucial for initiating conversation. Choose dialogue options revealing your suspicions and exhausting all options related to the clues. The hermit, revealed as Konrad, will request you speak with Margaret, a widow, and deliver a cross.
The Sinful Soul Quest (Optional):
Locate Margaret near the Apollonia cemetery, deliver the cross, and optionally complete the "Sinful Soul" quest by assisting her. This is optional; you can return to Konrad immediately.
Choosing a Path:
Upon returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter Crusaders. You can choose to either aid the Crusaders in killing Konrad or help Konrad escape. Killing Konrad is often easier, especially with the Crusaders' assistance.
Retrieving the Sword:
After dealing with Konrad, locate the sword north of the hut, stuck between two oak trees. Retrieve the sword and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the quest.
