The Hermit quest is the final one in the Tachov Blacksmith’s crusade. It is a lengthy one, involving classic Kingdom Come: Deliverance missions. Don’t be overwhelmed by the endless questioning and discoveries. We got you covered. Here’s a complete walkthrough of The Hermit quest!
1Learn about the Hermit
After the Jaunt quest, you need to talk to Blacksmith Radovan who will assign you The Hermit quest.
The objective is pretty simple– bring the Hermit’s sword to Radovan so that he can craft a wedding gift for the Olda of Semine.
Before we proceed any further, we need to dig deeper into the Hermit.
Talk to Innkeeper Betty in Traskowitz. Explore every option to know about the Hermit. (Pro tip: this will also fetch you mission points.)
The next part is optional. You can skip it and directly go to Apollonia.
Speak to the Guard Commander, Gerda and Stanislav for more information on the Hermit.
Stanislav will mention a dark horse that the Hermit rides. Exhaust all dialogues to get the ‘Explore Apollonia’ quest.
Once you receive the quest, go to the Cross and begin digging the grave right below it. Here’s what you will find here:
- Groschen
- Crusader’s cloth
- Crusader’s Cloak
- Chronicle of the Knights of the Cross
- Seneschal Ambrose’s Decree
- A letter about the Order’s commandery fire
Go through the book, decree and the letter to know more about the Knights of the Cross and Seneschal Ambrose. This information will be useful in the later stages of the quest.
Now, head to Apollonia. Search the area for a burnt hut. Inside the hut, you will find the black horse Stanislav mentioned.
2Find the Hermit
Use the map to find a tiny path between two rocks. It will lead you to the Hermit’s hut.
Interact with the Hermit to begin your interrogation. This is where you will use the clues gathered.
Start with the ‘I’m interested in your sword’ dialogue.
Then, select the ‘You’re suspicious. (Expose)’ option.
The next few dialogues will be solely based on the clues so go with what you know.
Finally, select the ‘Out with it! (Press)’ dialogue. The Hermit will now reveal the truth.
The Hermit will admit that he is not Ambrose. As it turns out, Ambrose has been dead for years now. The two of them were pretty good friends though. The Hermit is currently hiding from the Knights of the Cross who assume that he murdered his dear friend Ambrose.
Once the interrogation is over, the Hermit will ask you for a favor in exchange for the sword’s location.
3Sinful Soul
After you finish talking to the Hermit, you need to complete the Sinful Soul task.
Go to the Cemetery. Find Widow Margaret and speak to her.
Give her the cross to finish the task.
You can either stay and help Widow Margaret bury Ambrose’s brother or return to the Hermit.
4Learn the sword’s location
When you come back to the Hermit, you will be greeted by the Knights of the Cross. They will ask you to help them in defeating the Hermit.
You will be presented with two choices– defeat the Hermit or help the Hermit and eliminate the Knights.
No matter what choice you make, you need to first learn where the sword is. Head to the Hermit’s house. Talk to him and ask about Ambrose’s sword. The Hermit will then reveal its location.
Now, you can either side with the Hermit or the Knights of the Cross.
5Find the Hermit’s Sword
Use the map to find Ambrose’s grave. The grave is located at the foot of two birch trees.
Dig the grave and collect the sword.
Head back to Radovan and present the broken sword.
6Craft the Hermit’s Sword
Blacksmith Radovan will now ask you to create the Hermit’s Sword.
Follow these steps to make the Hermit’s Sword:
- Start Blacksmithing at the Anvil.
- Click on the Longswords tab and select the recipe for the Hermit’s Sword.
- Temper the sword.
- Hit it with the hammer repeatedly to mold it. Make sure you go from tip to hilt.
- Finally, quench and finish the crafting process.
Now, hand over the newly-made sword to Radovan.
The Hermit quest is now complete. Up next, the Semine Wedding!
