How to Start the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The Hermit quest automatically unlocks upon completing quests for blacksmith Radovan. After recovering 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'll need to gather information from Troskowitz villagers.
Gathering Information About the Hermit
First, visit the Troskowitz tavern and speak with Innkeeper Betty, exhausting all dialogue options. Then, talk to other villagers (like the alehouse maid or trader) to gather more information.
Talk to Gerda and Stanislav
Speak with Gerda in Troskowitz; she witnessed an apparition. Offer Groschen or pass a dialogue check to obtain information. Next, talk to Stanislav in Apollonia. Again, either pay or pass a dialogue check.
Gather Evidence
With the information gathered, locate the cross Gerda mentioned. Dig up the grave (you'll need a spade; purchase one from the Troskowitz trader or find one in a cemetery) to uncover Groschen and documents about the Knights of the Cross. Examine these documents. Then, investigate the quest marker in Apollonia—a hut and clearing with a black horse—for further clues.
Talk to the Hermit
Approach the hermit's hut. Without evidence, he won't talk. Once you present your findings, select dialogue options like: "You're suspicious," exhausting all options about clues, and finally, "Out with it!" He'll reveal his true identity as Konrad and request you speak with Margaret, giving her a cross.
Go to the Apollonia cemetery, give Margaret the cross, and optionally complete the Sinful Soul quest by helping her bury Ambrose. You can return to Konrad afterward.
Help Konrad or Kill Him
Near the hut, you'll find Crusaders. You can choose to help them kill Konrad or help Konrad escape. If you sneak to the hut, Konrad will talk. Tell him you finished the quest and ask about the sword. You can then choose to help or kill him.
Get the Hermit’s Sword
North of the hut, find two tangled oak trees; the sword is stuck in the ground. Retrieve it and return to Radovan in Tachov to complete the quest.
This concludes the Hermit quest. For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tips and information (perks, romance options), check out The Escapist.
