How to Get the Hermit’s Sword in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (Hermit Quest Guide)

Mastering the Hermit Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlocking the secrets of the Hermit quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires a bit of detective work. This guide will walk you through each step, ensuring you successfully obtain the hermit's sword. This quest is automatically triggered by progressing through blacksmith Radovan's questline in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. After retrieving the lost cart, Radovan will task you with forging a wedding gift, initiating the Hermit quest.

Gathering Information:

Begin by visiting the Troskowitz tavern and speaking extensively with Innkeeper Betty. Further information can be gleaned from other villagers; the alehouse maid and general trader are good starting points.

Next, interview Gerda (she witnessed an apparition) and Stanislav in Apollonia. Persuasion or a small bribe will yield the necessary information from both.

Locating Evidence:

With your leads, it's time to gather evidence. Use a spade (purchaseable from the Troskowitz trader or found in cemeteries) to excavate the grave Gerda mentioned, uncovering Groschen and documents related to the Knights of the Cross.

Examine the black horse near the quest marker in Apollonia for another clue.

Confronting the Hermit:

Approach the hermit's hut. Presenting the evidence is crucial for initiating meaningful conversation. Choose dialogue options like "You're suspicious" and "Out with it!" to uncover Konrad's true identity and his request to deliver a cross to a widow named Margaret.

Complete the optional "Sinful Soul" quest by helping Margaret bury Ambrose. Return to Konrad afterwards.

Choosing Your Path:

You'll find Crusaders near the hut. You can either assist them in killing Konrad or help him escape. A direct confrontation with Konrad is generally easier than facing the Crusaders.

After eliminating Konrad (or aiding his escape), retrieve the documents from the Crusaders for a reward.

Claiming the Sword:

Locate the hermit's sword stuck in two intertwined oak trees north of the hut. Return the sword to Radovan in Tachov to complete the quest.
