Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Necessary Evil Quest Walkthrough

Following the completion of "Back in the Saddle," "Necessary Evil" begins. Von Bergow tasks Hans and Henry with gathering intelligence from Nebakov Fortress, culminating in a prisoner interrogation. The interrogation's outcome dictates whether von Bergow targets Semine or Nebakov. This walkthrough focuses on the Semine path, where the most challenging decisions lie.

Prisoner Interrogation Answers

Prisoner Interrogation

Successful interrogation hinges on Speech checks. You can either employ threats or utilize torture. Speech check requirements are:

  • “We’ll put in a good word for you.” (20 Impression)
  • “Istvan and I are old acquaintances.” (20 Impression)
  • “Otherwise, it’ll end badly for you.” (17 Intimidation)

The interrogation reveals the bandit leader's identity and Semine's involvement. When reporting to von Bergow, you can either expose Semine's collusion with bandits, leading to an attack on the town, or claim no one aided the bandits, resulting in an attack on Nebakov.

Should You Attack Semine or Nebakov?

Attacking Semine initiates a more complex series of choices involving Hashek. Attacking Nebakov concludes the quest immediately, avoiding the bloodshed at Semine. While avoiding Semine's immediate consequences might seem preferable, letting him escape without repercussions ignores the innocent lives lost due to his actions. Attacking Semine, despite potential personal connections, feels morally justifiable. Remember, if you choose Semine, stay with the party; lagging behind results in the town's massacre.

Should You Side With Semine or Hashek?

Semine vs Hashek

Before the attack, Hashek reveals his thirst for revenge against Semine, advocating for extreme violence. The choice to side with Hashek ("Hashek is right") or Semine ("Olda deserves a trial") is crucial.

Siding with Semine, despite his wrongdoing, prevents further bloodshed caused by Hashek's scorched-earth approach. This aligns with a morally good character arc for Henry. After defeating Hashek, advise the Semines to burn their estate and flee to progress the quest. Siding with Hashek results in the town's annihilation. You can also decide Olda's fate (life or death) within the tower.

Should You Tell von Bergow or Let Hans Talk?

Finally, you report back to von Bergow. You can remain silent, letting Hans handle the explanation, or speak up yourself. Silence and letting Hans speak maintains favor with von Bergow, allowing for a more diplomatic approach and setting up the next move against Nebakov.
