How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

The Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 naturally unfolds as you progress through the blacksmith Radovan's quests. After successfully locating the lost cart, report back to Radovan. He'll then express his desire to craft a sword as a wedding gift, thus initiating the Hermit questline. Before you can proceed, you'll need to gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.

Get Information About the Hermit

Begin your investigation at the tavern in Troskowitz by engaging with Innkeeper Betty and exploring all available dialogue options. To gather further insights, chat with other villagers such as the alehouse maid and the general trader.

Talk to Gerda and Stanislav

Your next task is to converse with Gerda in Troskowitz, who claims to have witnessed the apparition. You can either offer her a small sum of Groschen or successfully pass a dialogue check to extract the information you need.

Then, travel to Apollonia to speak with Stanislav. Again, you'll need to either pass a dialogue check or pay him a few Groschen.

Gather Evidence

With the necessary intel, it's time to collect tangible evidence. Head to the cross mentioned by Gerda and use a spade to dig up the grave. Inside, you'll discover Groschen, documents, and artifacts related to the Knights of the Cross. You can buy a spade from the general trader in Troskowitz or find one for free at nearby cemeteries.

After examining the documents, follow the quest marker to Apollonia where you'll find a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Inspect the horse to uncover your next clue, preparing you to confront the hermit.

Talk to the Hermit

Approach the hermit's hut and engage in conversation. Without the gathered evidence, the hermit will remain silent. Armed with your clues, initiate dialogue with these options:

• "You're suspicious."
• Exhaust all dialogue options about the clues and evidence.
• "Out with it!"

The hermit, revealed as Konrad, will admit his true identity but require you to assist a widow named Margaret by delivering a cross to her.

Visit the cemetery near Apollonia to meet Margaret and give her the cross, triggering the Sinful Soul quest. Completing this quest by helping Margaret dig a grave for Ambrose is optional, allowing you to return to Konrad immediately if you prefer.

Help Konrad or Kill Him

Upon returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter Crusaders. You now face a choice: assist them in eliminating Konrad or help him escape.

Sneak towards the hut to speak with Konrad. Inform him that you've fulfilled his request and inquire about the sword. You can then decide to either aid Konrad or kill him. Opting to kill him might be easier, especially with Mutt and the Crusaders' assistance. After Konrad's demise, negotiate with the Crusaders to return the documents for a modest sum of Groschen.

Get the Hermit's Sword

Finally, venture north of the hermit's hut to locate two intertwined oak trees. The hermit's sword will be embedded in the ground there. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to conclude the Hermit quest.

And that's how you obtain the hermit's sword and successfully complete the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and detailed guides on the game, including the best perks to prioritize and all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
