How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
The Hermit quest seamlessly integrates into your journey as you assist the blacksmith Radovan in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Upon successfully locating the lost cart and reporting back to Radovan, he'll share his intention to craft a sword as a wedding gift, thus initiating the Hermit questline. Your next step involves gathering insights from the villagers in Troskowitz before you can confront the hermit.
Get Information About the Hermit
Begin your investigation by visiting the tavern in Troskowitz and engaging with Innkeeper Betty. Make sure to exhaust all possible dialogue options with her. To deepen your understanding, converse with other villagers, such as the alehouse maid and the general trader, to gather more clues about the hermit.
Talk to Gerda and Stanislav
Your quest leads you next to Gerda in Troskowitz, who has firsthand knowledge of the hermit's apparition. You have the choice to either offer her a small sum of Groschen or succeed in a dialogue check to extract the necessary information.
Subsequently, make your way to Apollonia to meet Stanislav. Again, you'll need to pass a dialogue check or pay him with Groschen to move forward.
Gather Evidence
Armed with the villagers' testimonies, it's time to collect tangible evidence. Head to the cross Gerda mentioned and use a spade—purchasable from Troskowitz's general trader or found at nearby cemetery sites—to unearth Groschen, documents, and artifacts related to the Knights of the Cross.
After reviewing the documents, proceed to the quest marker in Apollonia to find a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Inspecting the horse will provide you with the next clue, setting the stage for your confrontation with the hermit.
Talk to the Hermit
Approach the hermit's hut prepared with your evidence. Engage in dialogue by selecting these options:
- "You’re suspicious."
- Exhaust all dialogue options about the clues and evidence.
- "Out with it!"
The hermit will reveal he's not Ambrose but Konrad. He'll request 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 complete the optional Sinful Soul quest by helping her dig a grave for Ambrose, or return directly to Konrad.
Help Konrad or Kill Him
Upon returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter Crusaders. You can choose to either aid them in killing Konrad or assist Konrad in escaping.
Sneak towards the hut, and Konrad will agree to speak with you. Inform him of your completed task and inquire about the sword's location. At this juncture, you can either support Konrad or opt to kill him. If you decide to kill Konrad, the task is simpler, especially with the aid of Mutt and the Crusaders. After Konrad's demise, speak with the Crusaders and negotiate a small sum of Groschen for returning the documents.
Get the Hermit’s Sword
To claim the hermit's sword, venture north of the hut to find two tangled oak trees. The sword will be embedded in the ground; retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to successfully conclude the Hermit quest.
By following these steps, you'll successfully navigate the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, securing the hermit's sword and advancing toward the wedding in Semine.
