How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

The Hermit quest is seamlessly integrated into the blacksmith Radovan's storyline in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Upon successfully locating the lost cart, report back to Radovan. He'll express his desire to forge a sword as a wedding gift, thus initiating the Hermit questline. Before you can proceed, you must gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.

Get Information About the Hermit

Start by visiting the tavern in Troskowitz and engaging with Innkeeper Betty, ensuring you explore all available dialogue options. To gather further insights, converse with other villagers. In my experience, speaking with the alehouse maid and the general trader proved beneficial.

Talk to Gerda and Stanislav

Your next task involves speaking with Gerda in Troskowitz, who has witnessed the apparition. You can either persuade her by offering a small sum of Groschen or pass a dialogue check to extract the necessary information.

Subsequently, make your way to Apollonia and converse with Stanislav. Here, you'll need to either pass another dialogue check or offer him some Groschen.

Gather Evidence

Armed with the 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, a spade is essential for this task, which you can purchase from Troskowitz's general trader or find for free by searching cemeteries near settlements.

After examining the documents, proceed to the quest marker in Apollonia to locate a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Inspect the horse for additional clues, setting the stage for your encounter with the hermit.

Talk to the Hermit

Approach the hermit's hut and initiate a conversation with him. Without the gathered evidence, the hermit remains silent. However, equipped with your findings, he becomes more forthcoming.

Choose these dialogue options:

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

The hermit will confess that he is not Ambrose but Konrad. Before relinquishing the sword, he asks you to deliver a cross to a widow named Margaret.

Visit the cemetery near Apollonia to meet Margaret and hand over the cross, initiating the Sinful Soul quest. You can choose to assist her immediately by helping dig a grave for Ambrose, or return to Konrad without delay.

Help Konrad or Kill Him

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

Sneak towards the hut, and Konrad will agree to talk. Inform him of your completed task and inquire about the sword's location. At this juncture, decide whether to aid Konrad or eliminate him. Opting to kill Konrad is simpler, especially with Mutt and the Crusaders' support.

After Konrad's demise, discuss with the Crusaders and offer to return the documents for a modest sum of Groschen.

Get the Hermit’s Sword

Finally, journey north of the hermit's hut to find two intertwined oak trees. There, you'll discover the hermit's sword embedded in the ground. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to conclude the quest.

By following these steps, you'll successfully obtain the hermit's sword and complete the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and detailed guides, including the best perks to acquire first and all romance options, visit The Escapist.
