How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
The Hermit quest will unlock automatically as you progress through the quests for the blacksmith Radovan in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. After locating the lost cart, report back to Radovan. He will express his desire to forge a sword as a wedding gift, which initiates the Hermit questline. Before proceeding to meet the hermit, you must gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.
Get Information About the Hermit
Start by visiting the tavern in Troskowitz and engaging with Innkeeper Betty, exhausting all dialogue options. Then, converse with other villagers for more details. In my experience, speaking with the alehouse maid and the general trader proved beneficial.
Talk to Gerda and Stanislav
Next, speak to Gerda in Troskowitz, who claims to have witnessed the apparition. You can either offer her a small amount of Groschen or successfully pass a dialogue check to obtain the information you need.
Afterward, head to Apollonia to speak with Stanislav. Similarly, you'll need to either pass a dialogue check or pay him a bit of Groschen.
Gather Evidence
Armed with the necessary information, it's time to gather concrete evidence. Go 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 task, which you can buy from the general trader in Troskowitz or find for free in nearby cemeteries.
After reading the documents, proceed to the quest marker in Apollonia to locate a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Examine the horse to gather your next clue, preparing you to confront the hermit.
Talk to the Hermit
Approach the hermit's hut and engage in conversation. Note that without the collected evidence, the hermit will remain silent. With your evidence in hand, he should be more forthcoming.
Choose the following dialogue options:
- "You're suspicious."
- Exhaust all dialogue options about the clues and evidence.
- "Out with it!"
The hermit will then confess that he is not Ambrose but Konrad. He will ask you to deliver a cross to a widow named Margaret before he reveals the sword's location.
Visit the cemetery near Apollonia to meet Margaret and hand over the cross. This action initiates the Sinful Soul quest, which you can complete immediately by assisting Margaret in digging Ambrose's grave. This step is optional, and you can choose to return to Konrad right away if you prefer.
Help Konrad or Kill Him
Upon returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter a group of Crusaders. You now have the choice to either assist them in killing Konrad or help Konrad escape.
Sneak to the hut and inform Konrad that you've completed the task. Ask him about the sword's location. You can then decide whether to aid Konrad or kill him. In my playthrough, I chose to kill Konrad, as confronting the Crusaders is challenging, and defeating Konrad is much simpler, especially with Mutt and the Crusaders' assistance.
After Konrad's 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 intertwined oak trees. The hermit's sword will be embedded in the ground. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the quest.
This guide outlines how to obtain the hermit's sword and successfully complete the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For additional tips and insights on the game, including the best perks to acquire first and all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
