In this guide, we’re covering (KCD2) Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 The Hermit Side Quest. This side quest is part of the Blacksmith Radavon’s line of quests in Tachov. To start this quest, you must first complete Blacksmith’s Son and Jaunt. Once Jaunt is completed, The Hermit will automatically unlock. You can skip the Jaunt if you did Miller’s line of quests to get into the wedding. Read on for a complete walkthrough of The Hermit Side Quest.
Speak to the Villagers (Optional Objectives) In The Hermit Side Quest
Your first objective of the quest is to talk to Innkeeper Betty. Exhaust all the dialogue options before moving on. Speaking to her opens up multiple new objectives to help you locate the Hermit. One of these objectives is speaking to the villagers around the Tavern. While most don’t have important information or won’t give you the time of day, the Alehouse Maid will give you enough information to complete the first objective.
Next, speak to Witness Gerda. She is located near the Apothecary Emerich’s yard. She is usually sitting on the bench during the day. At first, she doesn’t want to talk, but passing an easy speech check will have her giving you the information you need (or you can pay her 12 Groschen).
Once you’ve spoken to everyone, buy a spade from Merchant Jurg Thomel if you don’t already have one. It costs 7 Groschen, or you can steal one from around town. After that, follow the marker on your map west of Troskowitz and use the spade to dig the grave beneath the cross. There’s a bag of loot buried there with 30 Groschen, a Crusader Cloak, an Old Letter About The Order’s Commandery Fire, and more.
Once you’ve done this, speak to Witness Stanislav east of Troskowitz.
Find the Hermit In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (KCD2)
Go to Apollonia and investigate the black horse by the fence. After, head to the west side of town to find the location of the Hermit. You might need to wait depending on the time of day. Speak to the Hermit and select the dialogue option “I learnt some strange things about you…” and then exhaust the processing dialogue options.
The Hermit will ask you to deliver a cross to Widow Margaret, which starts the task “A Sinful Soul.” Go to Margaret in Troskowitz and she’ll request that you dig two graves for her and bury some bones.
Return to the Hermit. On the way, a group of knights asks to help you take down the Hermit. You can agree but later change your mind. Speak to the Hermit and choose the dialogue options “Try to get answers” and “I’m not your enemy.” After this, you can side with the Hermit or the knights. Either way, you can proceed searching for Ambrose’s Broken Sword. A Diary in the Hermit’s house will have the location. Go to the location and retrieve the sword. Return to the blacksmith to forge it.
