How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
The Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is triggered as you progress through the blacksmith Radovan's quests. After successfully locating the lost cart, report back to Radovan. He'll express his desire to forge a sword as a wedding gift, which initiates the Hermit quest. Before you can engage with the hermit, you need to gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.
Get Information About the Hermit
Begin your quest by visiting the tavern in Troskowitz and speaking with Innkeeper Betty. Exhaust all dialogue options with her. Then, continue your inquiries by talking to other villagers, such as the alehouse maid and the general trader, to gather more details about the hermit.
Talk to Gerda and Stanislav
Next, seek out Gerda in Troskowitz, who claims to have seen the apparition. You can persuade her to share her knowledge either by offering a small amount of Groschen or by successfully passing a dialogue check. After speaking with Gerda, make your way to Apollonia to find Stanislav. Similarly, you'll need to pass a dialogue check or offer some Groschen to extract information from him.
Gather Evidence
Armed with the necessary information, it's time to collect concrete evidence. Head to the cross mentioned by Gerda and dig up 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 cemeteries near settlements.
After reading the documents, proceed to the quest marker in Apollonia, where you'll find a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Examine the horse to obtain the next clue, preparing you to confront the hermit.
Talk to the Hermit
Approach the hermit's hut and initiate a conversation with him. Without the evidence, he won't be forthcoming. With the gathered clues, choose these dialogue options:
- "You’re suspicious."
- Exhaust all dialogue options about the clues and evidence.
- "Out with it!"
The hermit, who reveals himself as Konrad and not Ambrose, will instruct you to deliver a cross to a widow named Margaret. Visit the cemetery near Apollonia to find Margaret and give her the cross. This action starts the Sinful Soul quest, which you can complete immediately by assisting her in digging a grave for Ambrose. Alternatively, you can return to Konrad right away.
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 assist them in killing Konrad or help Konrad escape. Sneak to the hut and speak with Konrad. Inform him that you've completed the task and ask about the sword's location. At this juncture, decide whether to help Konrad or kill him. Opting to kill Konrad is easier, especially with Mutt and the Crusaders on your side. After Konrad's demise, converse with the Crusaders and offer to return the documents for a modest sum of Groschen.
Get the Hermit’s Sword
To obtain the hermit's sword, head north of the hermit's hut to locate two tangled oak trees. You'll find the sword embedded in the ground. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the Hermit quest.
And that’s how to secure the hermit’s sword and finish the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more in-depth guides and tips, including the best perks to prioritize and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
