While progressing through the main story in Kuttenberg in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you’ll have the opportunity to assist Master Schindel in recovering some stolen items as part of a side quest. Known as “Master Schindel’s Toys,” this task can be a bit tricky to navigate, but with the right guidance, you can complete it efficiently and reap the rewards.
How to Start the Master Schindel’s Toys Quest
To begin this side quest, you must first be engaged in the Into the Underworld main mission. As part of that storyline, you'll need to locate an informant named Goatskin. Begin your investigation by visiting the bathhouse and speaking with the Bathhouse Madam. Afterward, talk to Adam, who will inform you that Goatskin is responsible for stealing several items from Master Schindel.
Finding Goatskin
Goatskin is a nervous and elusive character, so you’ll need to be strategic in tracking him down. While you can choose to speak with Lousy Mary, the more straightforward option is to interact with Udo. He’s a regular customer at the bathhouse and appears on the first floor in the evening. Ask him to go home and discreetly follow him. Eventually, Goatskin will attempt to rob Udo in a nearby alley—this is your moment to confront him.
Obtaining the Map to the Underground
Once you’ve spoken with Goatskin, you may be able to acquire a valuable map—the Map of Kuttenberg Underground. If you fail the skill check during your interaction, you can bribe him with coin instead. He’ll then tell you that the map can be found on a corpse hanging at the Kuttenberg gallows, located on the southeastern edge of the city.
Retrieve the map from the hanging body and use it to explore the underground tunnels. Be warned—this area is complex and easy to get lost in if you're unprepared.
Recovering the Stolen Items
If you’re looking to quickly complete the Master Schindel’s Toys quest, head directly to the northern section of the open area where you’ll find an underground entrance. Climb down the ladder and make sure to bring out your torch immediately, as the tunnels are pitch black.
Navigate the tunnels by consistently turning left at every junction. At one point, you’ll need to jump down into a lower section. Continue following the same pattern—always turn left—and eventually, you’ll reach a barrel at a dead end. This is where Goatskin has hidden the stolen goods. Open the barrel to retrieve both a book and an astrolabe.
Returning the Items to Master Schindel
After collecting the stolen items, retrace your steps back to the surface using the same route. During the daytime, Master Schindel can typically be found on the northeastern side of Kuttenberg. Speak with him to hand over the items and complete the quest.
Initially, he may seem gruff or dismissive, but once you return his belongings, he’ll become more approachable. Engage him further, and he’ll provide some interesting insight into the astrolabe and even offer a brief explanation of planetary mechanics.
Final Thoughts
Though short in length, the Master Schindel’s Toys quest offers a meaningful way to gain reputation points and unlock additional content in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. It also provides a glimpse into the rich world-building and immersive storytelling that makes the game so compelling.
Now that you know how to track down Goatskin and recover the stolen items, you can confidently complete this quest and continue your journey through the intricate world of Kuttenberg.
