In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll face numerous pivotal choices throughout your journey, particularly in the main and side quests. One such decision comes during the Post Scriptum side quest in the Kuttenberg region. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this quest and decide whether to support the miners.
How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To initiate the Post Scriptum quest, head to the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city. Speak with the NPC named Kvyertsolav to kick things off. This quest involves writing a letter for the miners, but be prepared for some unexpected turns.
Write the Letter
Travel to the designated house in Kuttenberg to assist Kvyertsolav with the letter. Upon entering, opt for the dialogue choice "Justice is worth more than silver." You have the flexibility to refine the letter's tone—whether you choose to make it more aggressive, concise, or leave it as is, the outcome remains consistent.
After completing the letter, be ready for a confrontation; the miners will attempt to kill you. Successfully passing a Speech check can de-escalate the situation, allowing you to persuade them to spare you.
Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?
If you manage to talk your way out of danger, you'll face the decision of turning the miners over to the bailiff. Choosing this path will abruptly end the quest and net you a modest reward of 100 groschen. However, this isn't the optimal choice or reward, so it's advisable to proceed to Markold with the letter instead.
Should You Help Markold or the Miners?
Next, you'll need to visit the shaft owner's house. After speaking with the bodyguard, you'll be granted access to deliver the letter to Markold. At this juncture, you have three main options: blackmail Markold, deliver the letter as intended, or collaborate with him to eliminate the miners. Blackmailing Markold involves a challenging Speech check and leads to an immediate quest conclusion, so it's best avoided.
Opting to help Markold means you'll have to kill three miners, earning you a meager 60 groschen, which is the least favorable outcome.
The recommended course of action is to side with the miners. Deliver the letter to Markold, receive seven groschen, and follow his instructions to meet the miners north of the city. Once there, wait for the miners to arrive, then proceed to their camp and engage with Myslibor. When Markold arrives to attack, assist the miners in defeating him. This will successfully conclude the quest, rewarding you with 160 groschen from Myslibor and the satisfaction of aiding the miners in improving their working conditions.
This guide should clarify whether you should help the miners during the Post Scriptum quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more insights and tips on the game, including decisions like siding with Semine and exploring romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
