How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
The Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 automatically unlocks as you progress through the blacksmith Radovan's quests. Once you've located the lost cart and reported back to Radovan, he'll express his desire to forge a sword as a wedding gift, thereby initiating the Hermit questline. Before you can meet the hermit, you must first gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.
Get Information About the Hermit
Start by visiting the tavern in Troskowitz and engaging with Innkeeper Betty, ensuring you exhaust all dialogue options. Next, chat with other villagers, such as the alehouse maid and the general trader, to gather more details about the hermit.
Talk to Gerda and Stanislav
Your next step is to speak with Gerda in Troskowitz, who claims to have witnessed the apparition. You can either offer her a small amount of Groschen or attempt a dialogue check to extract the information you need. After speaking with Gerda, proceed to Apollonia and converse with Stanislav. Similarly, you'll need to pass a dialogue check or pay him a bit of Groschen.
Gather Evidence
Armed with the necessary information, it's time to collect concrete evidence. Head to the cross mentioned by Gerda and dig the grave to uncover Groschen, documents, and artifacts related to the Knights of the Cross. Remember, you'll need a spade for this, which you can buy from the general trader in Troskowitz or find for free by searching cemeteries near settlements.
After reading the documents, follow the quest marker to Apollonia, where you'll find a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Examine the horse to obtain your next clue, preparing you to confront the hermit.
Talk to the Hermit
Make your way to the hermit's hut and initiate a conversation with him. Without the gathered evidence, he won't be forthcoming, but now you can engage more effectively. Choose the following dialogue options:
- "You’re suspicious."
- Exhaust all dialogue options about the clues and evidence.
- "Out with it!"
The hermit will confess that he is not Ambrose, but Konrad. He'll ask you to deliver a cross to a widow named Margaret before he'll surrender the sword. Visit the cemetery near Apollonia to meet Margaret and hand over the cross, triggering the Sinful Soul quest. You can complete this quest by helping her dig Ambrose's grave or choose to return to Konrad immediately.
Help Konrad or Kill Him
Upon returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter Crusaders. You can either assist them in killing Konrad or help Konrad escape. Sneak to the hut and inform Konrad that you've completed the task. At this point, you can decide to help Konrad or kill him. Opting to kill Konrad is easier, especially with Mutt and the Crusaders' assistance. After his defeat, speak with the Crusaders and offer to return the documents for a small sum of Groschen.
Get the Hermit’s Sword
Finally, travel north of the hermit's hut to find two tangled oak trees, where the hermit's sword is embedded in the ground. Retrieve the sword and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the Hermit quest.
This guide will help you secure the hermit's sword and successfully complete the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, including the best perks to acquire first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
