Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Overview at a Glance

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Talk to Workers Outside the Church

Critical Tip: Before starting, grab Schnapps from the infirmary cabinet—you’ll need two bottles for smooth progression.

Head north to the workers’ camp. Distract the guard by throwing a rock near him, then slip past to reach workman Loyza. Choose these dialogue options:

• “Scratch my back…” (Avoid reputation-damaging choices)
• “Look what I’ve got” (Give him 2 Schnapps)

Ask all available questions about the church and crypt to gather intel. This information becomes crucial for understanding the DLC’s overarching mystery.

2. Search Workers’ Belongings

The chest sits near the workers’ camp exterior. Use your lockpick to open it and retrieve the golden crucifix—essential evidence for later.

3. Navigate Into the Crypt

Route: Southeast from workers’ camp → Ladder → Church interior → Distract worker → Descend through collapsed floor

Inside the church, wait for two workers to finish talking. When one leaves, throw a rock to distract the remaining guard. Quickly move to the collapsed floor opening and take the ladder down.

Pro Stealth Tip: Crouch while moving past the distracted worker to minimize detection risk.

4. Investigate the Crypt

Once inside, complete these objectives:

• Examine the tomb thoroughly
• Collect the filthy parchment (main quest item)
• Optional: Grab the hunting sword behind a tomb

Health Warning: Without the plague mask from the Prevention task, you’ll contract sickness here. Complete Prevention first if possible.

5. Escape the Crypt (Two Methods)

Stealth Route: Dismantle the weak wall section to access the crypt entrance, then climb the ladder quietly.

Combat Route: Lockpick the main door and defeat three workers. The hunting sword you found earlier makes this manageable.

Exit through the western church door after ascending.

6. Return to Albich

Fast Travel Trick: Get intentionally caught by guards and select “Take me away” to teleport directly to the infirmary.

Find Albich in the back room. During conversation, choose:

• “What are you talking about?”
• “Who could’ve done it?”

7. Investigate the Looted Room

Inspect the scattered items in the southeast corner and examine the door lock. Both provide crucial clues about the break-in.

8. Question Witnesses

Talk to Denes and Benedict in the infirmary:

• Denes: Ask if anyone entered your room
• Benedict: Inquire about unusual activity

9. Report to Albich

Return to your room and brief Albich on your findings. This concludes Silent Witnesses and triggers the To Dust You Shan’t Return quest.
