Miners' Dilemma in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - Post Scriptum Quest Guide

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the choices you make during quests like Post Scriptum can significantly impact your gameplay experience. If you're considering whether to help the miners during this side quest, here's a detailed guide to help you make an informed decision.

How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To embark on the Post Scriptum quest, you'll need to reach the Kuttenberg region. Once there, head to the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road. Engage with the NPC named Kvyertsolav to initiate the quest. The journey involves assisting the miners by writing a crucial letter, but expect some unexpected twists along the way.

Write the Letter

Navigate to the house in Kuttenberg to aid Kvyertsolav in drafting the letter. Upon entering, opt for the dialogue choice, “Justice is worth more than silver.” As you compose the letter, you have the freedom to refine it, leave it as is, or make it more concise and assertive. Regardless of your approach, the outcome remains consistent. After completing the letter, be prepared for a confrontation as the miners attempt to kill you. Successfully passing a Speech check can save you and persuade them to spare your life.

Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Baliff?

If you manage to escape the miners' wrath, you'll face the decision of whether to turn them over to the baliff. Opting for this path will abruptly end the quest, rewarding you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most rewarding or satisfying conclusion. I recommend against this choice and suggest proceeding to deliver the letter to Markold instead.

Should You Help Markold or the Miners?

Next, you'll need to meet with the shaft owner, Markold. After speaking with his bodyguard and gaining access to the upstairs area, you have several options: blackmail Markold, deliver the letter as planned, or collaborate with him against the miners. Blackmailing is not advisable due to the challenging Speech check and immediate quest conclusion.

If you decide to assist Markold, you'll be tasked with eliminating three miners, earning a meager reward of 60 groschen, which is the least desirable outcome. Instead, I strongly recommend siding with the miners. Present the letter to Markold as intended, and he'll give you seven groschen, directing you to meet the miners north of the city.

Proceed to the designated location, await the miners' arrival, and ascend to their camp to converse with Myslibor. When Markold arrives to attack, join forces with the miners to defeat him, concluding the quest. Your efforts will be rewarded with 160 groschen from Myslibor, and you'll have played a pivotal role in improving the miners' working conditions.

Hopefully, this guide has clarified whether you should assist the miners during the Post Scriptum quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and insights on the game, including decisions like siding with Semine and exploring romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
