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, followed by interrogating a prisoner. The interrogation's outcome dictates whether von Bergow targets Semine or Nebakov. This walkthrough focuses on the Semine path, where the most difficult choices lie.

Prisoner Interrogation Answers

Successful interrogation requires passing Speech checks. You can either employ threats (Speech) or resort to torture. Speech check requirements are:

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

The interrogation reveals the bandit leader's identity and Semine's involvement. When reporting to von Bergow, you can either expose Semine's collusion with bandits (leading to an attack on Semine's town) or claim no one aided the bandits (resulting in an attack on Nebakov).

Should You Attack Semine or Nebakov?

Attacking Semine leads to more complex decisions involving Hashek. Attacking Nebakov resolves the quest immediately, avoiding the bloodshed at Semine. While avoiding conflict might seem appealing, ignoring Semine's culpability in innocent deaths isn't morally ideal. Attacking Semine, despite the personal connections formed earlier in the game, feels like the just course of action. Remember, if you choose Semine, stay with the party; lagging behind results in the town's massacre.

Should You Side With Semine or Hashek?

Before the attack, Hashek reveals his thirst for revenge against Semine, favoring extreme violence. Choosing "Hashek is right" sides with him; choosing "Olda deserves a trial" sides with Semine.

Siding with Semine is recommended. While Semine erred, Hashek's actions would cause further innocent deaths. A morally upright Henry would strive to prevent Hashek's brutal approach. After defeating Hashek, advise the Semines to burn their estate and flee to progress the quest. Siding with Hashek leads to the town's annihilation. You can also decide Olda's fate (life or death) in the tower.

Should You Tell von Bergow or Let Hans Talk?

Finally, Henry and Hans report to von Bergow. You can remain silent, letting Hans speak, or reveal the events at Semine. Silence is recommended. Hans' diplomatic approach maintains favor with von Bergow, leading to plans against Nebakov.
