Finding the Hermit in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Introduction

In this guide, we will tell you how to find the hermit, whether to help Konrad or the Crusaders, and how to find the sword.

Starting the Quest

After completing the mission "Walk", the blacksmith Radovan will give you a quest. Head to Troskovica and talk to the innkeeper Beta. Ask her all the questions about the hermit to get useful tips. Then visit the apothecary and talk to a witness named Gertrude. To make things easier, you can pay her 12 groschen.

To complete the objective "Talk to the villagers", it is enough to ask the local merchant about the hermit. After that, head west from Troskovica to the grave. Examine the cross, dig up the grave and take all the items you found. Then travel to Apolena and talk to the shepherd Šafářík. If you saved his ram earlier, don't forget to remind him about it.

Finding the Hermit's Shelter

Now it's time to look for the hermit's shelter. Ride north from Apolena along the main road and stop at the water source. Walk along the stream along the path up the hill. Follow the path that winds. At the top, go between the stones on the left to see a small herb garden. Go to the right of it between more stones and you will find the hermit's hut.

Talking to the Hermit

Talk to the hermit and tell him about the finds from the grave. After that, you will be able to put pressure on him, but before he gives you the broken sword, you will have to complete his task. This will be the beginning of the quest "Sinful Soul". After completing the task, return to the hermit.

Meeting with the Crusaders

At this point, you will encounter the Crusaders who intend to deal with Konrad. Discuss the situation with them and agree to help (this does not oblige you to take any specific actions). Approach the hermit's house, but stop when he starts threatening. Use the Q key to convince him to continue the conversation. As soon as he puts away the crossbow, discuss what to do - stand up for him or for the Crusaders. Note that the hermit is innocent and has become a victim of circumstances.

If you decide to support the Crusaders, enter the house, go up to the second floor and find two white bags. Move them to find Konrad's diary.

Finding the sword

Read the diary in the inventory (in the "Books" section) to find out where to look for the sword. You can also get information about the location of the sword during conversations with Konrad. If you kill Konrad, you will not have to search the house.

If you decide to support Konrad, you will need to eliminate three crusaders, but in this case you will get more valuable trophies. Talk to Konrad, go up the hill and look for a birch with two trunks (it resembles a slingshot).

Under this birch there is a grave (it is useless to dig it up), and above there will be a broken sword. Take it and return to the blacksmith Radovan to start forging the sword (you already have all the necessary resources).
