In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Katherine emerges as a pivotal side character, and yes, you can indeed pursue a romantic relationship with her. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to romance Katherine in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Katherine Romance Guide
You'll encounter Katherine early in the game, but unraveling her true identity and purpose will take time. To romance her, you'll need to advance through a substantial part of the main storyline and complete specific side quests related to her. Below, I'll detail all the crucial steps and flags you need to follow.
The King’s Gambit
Your choices become significant during the main quest titled "The King’s Gambit." Here, you'll spend a night in Suchdol and have the opportunity to spend time with Katherine. During the scene where Katherine bathes you at Sigismund’s camp, choose these dialogue options to start flirting:
- “It’s different with you.”
- “What about a kiss for luck?”
Complete Side Quests for Katherine
After "The King’s Gambit," you'll need to complete two side quests for Katherine in the Kuttenberg region: "The Fifth Commandment" and "The Stalker."
The Fifth Commandment
To initiate "The Fifth Commandment," speak with Katherine at the Kuttenberg tavern. She'll ask for your help in tracking down a serial killer. The quest is straightforward, but a crucial decision awaits at the end. It's essential to allow Katherine to kill the serial killer rather than turning him in, as this will significantly boost your relationship with her.
The Stalker
For "The Stalker," talk to Katherine again. This time, you'll need to deal with a stalker harassing her. The objectives are clear, but you'll need to pass a Speech check to make him leave. Alternatively, you can bribe him with 200 groschen or resort to physical force.
The Italian Job
After completing these side quests, continue with the main storyline until you reach "The Italian Job." Your task here is to rescue hostages before meeting Jan Zizka. Before speaking with Zizka, head to the courtyard and go up the stairs in the minting room to find Katherine. Compliment her during your conversation, then proceed with the quest.
Hunger and Despair
The final step in romancing Katherine comes during the main quest "Hunger and Despair." After fighting off soldiers and speaking with Zizka, find Katherine in the infirmary and choose this dialogue option:
- “I’ll bring help, and everything will be alright again.”
Afterward, meet her at the ramparts to complete the romance storyline with her.
