In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Katherine emerges as a pivotal side character, and yes, you can indeed romance her. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to win her heart in the game.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Katherine Romance Guide
You'll encounter Katherine early in the game, but unraveling her true identity and purpose will take time. To romance her, you'll need to advance through a significant part of the main storyline and complete specific side quests related to her. Below, I'll detail the crucial steps and choices you need to make.
The King’s Gambit
Your journey to romance Katherine begins to take shape during the main quest, The King’s Gambit. Here, you'll spend a night in Suchdol and have the opportunity to interact with Katherine. During a scene where she bathes you at Sigismund’s camp, choose these dialogue options to start flirting:
- “It’s different with you.”
- “What about a kiss for luck?”
Complete Side Quests for Katherine
After The King’s Gambit, you'll need to complete two side quests for Katherine in the Kuttenberg region: The Fifth Commandment and The Stalker.
The Fifth Commandment
To initiate The Fifth Commandment, talk to Katherine at the Kuttenberg tavern. She'll ask for your help in tracking down a serial killer. The quest is straightforward, but the decision at the end is crucial. Make sure to let Katherine kill the serial killer instead of turning him in, as this will significantly boost your relationship with her.
The Stalker
For The Stalker, speak with Katherine again. This time, you'll need to deal with a stalker harassing her. You can resolve this by passing a Speech check, bribing him with 200 groschen, or simply beating him up.
The Italian Job
Once you've completed these side quests, continue with the main storyline until you reach The Italian Job. Before speaking with Jan Zizka, head to the courtyard and up the stairs in the minting room to find Katherine. Compliment her during your conversation, then proceed with the quest.
Hunger and Despair
The final step in romancing Katherine comes during the main quest, Hunger and Despair. After battling soldiers and speaking with Zizka, find Katherine in the infirmary and choose this dialogue option:
- “I’ll bring help, and everything will be alright again.”
Afterward, meet her at the ramparts to successfully complete the romance storyline with Katherine.
