Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: A New Challenge from Gules
As you roam the bustling streets of Semine, you’ll encounter Gules, a character you’ve likely met before. Fresh off the heels of the Canker quest, Gules has a new challenge for you. Your target? The notorious Handsome Charlie. Your mission? Take him down and bring back his cap as proof. Sounds simple, right? Well, in the rich, choice-driven world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, things are never quite as straightforward as they seem.
Before You Begin: Essential Prerequisites
Before you can tackle the Handsome Charlie task, there are a few boxes you need to tick:
- Complete “The Jaunt” quest
- Finish the “Canker” mission
- Wait for two in-game days
Once these conditions are met, you’ll spot a new quest icon above Gules. During the day, you’ll find him patrolling Semine Fortress in his distinctive red armor. At night, he switches to a more casual green coat. Strike up a conversation, exhaust all dialogue options, and voila! The Handsome Charlie task is now yours to conquer.
A Word of Caution: Don’t Miss Your Chance!
Here’s a pro tip for all you aspiring medieval heroes out there: timing is everything. If you progress too far in Main Quest 5: Wedding Crashers without completing The Jaunt, or make certain choices in Main Quest 8: Necessary Evil that lead to the destruction of Semine Fortress, you’ll miss out on this exciting side quest. So, keep your wits about you and prioritize accordingly!
The Hunt Begins: Tracking Down Handsome Charlie
With the quest activated, it’s time to set out on your journey. Handsome Charlie’s location will be marked on your map, pointing northwest past Vidlak Pond. It’s quite a trek, so we recommend snagging a horse from the Semine trader to make your journey smoother.
As you approach the camp, resist the urge to draw your weapon immediately. Instead, look for a Charcoal Burner wandering around. Strike up a conversation and ask about Handsome Charlie. Your best bet? Say, “Is Handsome Charlie around here somewhere?” followed by, “I have a message for him from Gules.” Play your cards right, and the Charcoal Burner will lead you straight to your target.
But remember, patience is a virtue in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Dawdle too long or wander aimlessly, and you might find yourself facing a hostile camp. Trust us, that’s a fight you’d rather avoid if possible.
The Confrontation: Choose Your Path
Now comes the moment of truth – your face-off with Handsome Charlie. But here’s where things get interesting. You have two potential paths:
- The Duel: If you fancy yourself a silver-tongued devil, you can try to convince Charlie to engage in a one-on-one duel. Pass a Speech check (you’ll need at least 9 in Speech to pull this off), and you’re in for a classic showdown. The upside? Defeat Charlie, and his bandit buddies will flee, leaving you to claim your prize unopposed.
- The Brawl: Fail that Speech check (or choose to skip it entirely), and you’re in for a more… robust encounter. You’ll be taking on Charlie and his four bandit friends all at once. It’s a tough fight, especially if you’re low on armor or combat skills.
Pro tip: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. You can always boost your Speech stat by chatting up NPCs before attempting the conversation with Charlie once more.
Victory and Spoils: Completing the Handsome Charlie Task
Congratulations, brave adventurer! You’ve bested Handsome Charlie. Now, don’t forget to collect his cap – that’s your proof of victory. But while you’re at it, why not help yourself to some extra loot? Charlie’s body is a treasure trove of useful early-game armor pieces, including a Brocade Hood, Hauberk Long, Padded Chausses, and Riding Gloves. And don’t forget to check those camp chests for some extra Groschen!
With Charlie’s cap in hand, make your way back to Gules in Semine. Hand over the cap, and you’ll have officially completed the Handsome Charlie task. While there’s no immediate Groschen reward, your actions here will have consequences. If you won the duel and spared the Charcoal Burners, you’re in for a nice Groschen bonus at the start of your next quest, Johnny the Gob.
Wrapping Up: The Aftermath
As you ride away from Handsome Charlie’s camp, cap in hand, take a moment to reflect on your choices. In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, every decision shapes your journey. Will you be known as the merciful warrior who bested Charlie in a fair duel? Or the ruthless fighter who took on a camp of bandits single-handedly? The choice, as always, is yours.
With the Handsome Charlie task complete, you’re one step closer to unraveling the mysteries of The Blacksmith’s Son questline. But remember, this is just one thread in the rich tapestry of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. There are countless more adventures waiting for you in the beautifully realized medieval world of Bohemia.

FAQs
Q: What happens if we fail the Speech check with Handsome Charlie?
A: If you fail the Speech check, you’ll have to fight Handsome Charlie and his four bandit companions all at once. This can be a challenging battle, especially if you’re low on armor or combat skills. However, you can always try to increase your Speech stat by talking to NPCs before attempting the conversation again.
Q: Can we still complete the Handsome Charlie task if I progress too far in the main questline?
A: No, the Handsome Charlie task can become unavailable if you progress too far in Main Quest 5: Wedding Crashers without completing The Jaunt, or if you make certain choices in Main Quest 8: Necessary Evil that lead to the destruction of Semine Fortress. It’s best to prioritize this side quest early to ensure you don’t miss out on the experience and rewards.
