How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

The Hermit quest becomes available as you progress through the quests assigned by blacksmith Radovan in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. After locating the lost cart, report back to Radovan. He'll then express his desire to forge a sword as a wedding gift, which initiates the Hermit questline. Before you can meet the hermit, you need to gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.

Get Information About the Hermit

Begin by visiting the tavern in Troskowitz and conversing with Innkeeper Betty, exploring all available dialogue options. Then, engage with 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 hermit's apparition. You can persuade her by offering a few Groschen or by passing a dialogue check to obtain crucial information.

Afterward, head to Apollonia to speak with Stanislav. Again, you'll need to either pass a dialogue check or offer some Groschen to gain the necessary insights.

Gather Evidence

With the information in hand, it's time to collect tangible 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 can be bought from the general trader in Troskowitz or found for free in cemeteries near settlements.

Examine the documents, then follow the quest marker to Apollonia to locate a hut and a clearing with a black horse. Inspect the horse for further clues before confronting the hermit.

Talk to the Hermit

Make your way to the hermit's hut and engage in conversation. Without the gathered evidence, he won't be forthcoming. Armed with your findings, select these dialogue options:

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

The hermit will then reveal that he is not Ambrose but Konrad. He'll ask you to deliver a cross to a widow named Margaret before he'll surrender the sword.

Visit the cemetery near Apollonia to meet Margaret and give her the cross, initiating the Sinful Soul quest. You can choose to help her dig a grave for Ambrose or return to Konrad immediately.

Help Konrad or Kill Him

Upon returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter Crusaders. You can choose to assist them in killing Konrad or help Konrad escape.

Sneak to the hut and inform Konrad that you've completed the task. Ask about the sword's location. You then face the decision to either aid Konrad or kill him. Choosing to kill Konrad is less challenging, especially with the help of Mutt and the Crusaders. After his defeat, negotiate with the Crusaders to receive a reward in Groschen for returning the documents.

Get the Hermit’s Sword

Finally, travel north of the hermit's hut to find two tangled oak trees where the hermit's sword is embedded in the ground. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the Hermit quest.

This guide should help you navigate the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and secure the sword needed for the wedding in Semine. For more tips and insights, including the best perks and romance options, visit The Escapist.
