How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The Hermit quest automatically unlocks as you progress through blacksmith Radovan's quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. After retrieving the lost cart, report back to Radovan. He'll then reveal his plan to forge a wedding gift, initiating the Hermit questline. Before confronting the hermit, you must gather information from the villagers in Troskowitz.

Gathering Information About the Hermit

Talking to Gerda and Stanislav

Next, speak with Gerda in Troskowitz; she witnessed a relevant event. Offer Groschen or succeed at a dialogue check to obtain her information. Afterwards, find Stanislav in Apollonia. Again, either pay him or pass a dialogue check to get the needed information.

Gathering Evidence

With the information gathered, collect physical evidence. Locate the cross Gerda mentioned and dig up the grave (you'll need a spade; purchase one from the Troskowitz trader or find one in a cemetery). Examine the discovered documents and artifacts related to the Knights of the Cross.

Then, proceed to the quest marker in Apollonia. You'll find a hut and a clearing with a black horse; examine the horse for further clues. You are now ready to confront the hermit.

Talking to the Hermit

Head to the hermit's hut. Without prior evidence, he won't speak. Once you present your findings, he'll reveal his true identity: Konrad, not Ambrose. Before giving up the sword, he tasks you with delivering a cross to a widow named Margaret.

Choose the dialogue options: "You're suspicious," exhaust all dialogue options about the clues and evidence, and finally, "Out with it!"

Go to the cemetery near Apollonia, speak with Margaret, and give her the cross. This begins the Sinful Soul quest (optional; you can return to Konrad immediately).

Helping Konrad or Killing Him

Returning to the hermit's hut, you'll encounter Crusaders. You can choose to help them kill Konrad or aid his escape. If you choose to sneak to the hut, Konrad will talk. Tell him you completed the quest and ask about the sword. You can then choose to help or kill him.

After killing Konrad (which is easier than fighting the Crusaders), speak with the Crusaders and return the documents for a small reward.

Getting the Hermit's Sword

North of the hut, find two tangled oak trees where the sword is lodged. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the quest.

This concludes the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Check out The Escapist for more game guides and information.
