Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Necessary Evil Quest Walkthrough

Following the "Back in the Saddle" quest, "Necessary Evil" begins. Von Bergow tasks Hans and Henry with gathering intelligence from Nebakov Fortress, culminating in a prisoner interrogation. Your interrogation choices significantly impact whether von Bergow targets Semine or Nebakov. This walkthrough focuses on the Semine path, where the most difficult decisions lie.

Prisoner Interrogation Answers

Successful interrogation hinges on passing Speech checks. You can either employ intimidation or persuasive dialogue:

• “We’ll put in a good word for you.” (Requires 20 Impression)
• “Istvan and I are old acquaintances.” (Requires 20 Impression)
• “Otherwise, it’ll end badly for you.” (Requires 17 Intimidation)

The interrogation reveals the bandit leader's identity and Semine's involvement. When reporting to von Bergow, you can expose Semine's collusion with bandits, triggering an attack on the town, or deny Semine's involvement, leading to an attack on Nebakov.

Should You Attack Semine or Nebakov?

Attacking Semine initiates a more complex series of choices involving Hashek. Attacking Nebakov concludes the quest immediately, avoiding the bloodshed at Semine. While avoiding conflict is tempting, ignoring Semine's culpability in innocent deaths feels morally questionable. Attacking Semine, despite the personal connections formed earlier in the game, feels like the more just course of action. Remember, if you choose Semine, stay with the party; otherwise, the entire town will be slaughtered.

Should You Side With Semine or Hashek?

Before the assault on Semine, a conversation with Hashek reveals his thirst for revenge and his preference for extreme violence. The choice is clear:

• Siding with Hashek: Select "Hashek is right." This results in a massacre.
• Siding with Semine: Choose "Olda deserves a trial." This option prevents widespread carnage.

A morally upright Henry should side with Semine, preventing further bloodshed. After defeating Hashek, advise the Semines to burn their estate and flee to progress the quest. Note that siding with Hashek results in the deaths of everyone in the town. You'll also encounter Olda in the tower and decide his fate.

Should You Tell von Bergow or Let Hans Talk?

Finally, you report back to von Bergow. You can either remain silent, letting Hans handle the explanation, or speak up yourself. Silence and letting Hans speak maintains favor with von Bergow, leading to a planned attack on Nebakov.
