Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Necessary Evil Quest Walkthrough

Following the completion of “Back in the Saddle,” you'll unlock “Necessary Evil.” Von Bergow tasks Hans and Henry with gathering intelligence from Nebakov Fortress, followed by the interrogation of a prisoner. This interrogation significantly impacts whether von Bergow targets Semine or Nebakov. This walkthrough focuses on the Semine path, where the most critical choices lie.

Prisoner Interrogation Answers

Successful interrogation hinges on passing Speech checks. Choose between persuasion or 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 complicity. Reporting to von Bergow, you can either expose Semine's involvement (leading to an attack on the town) or deny Semine's participation (resulting in 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 this avoids immediate conflict, it arguably lets Semine escape consequences for actions resulting in innocent deaths. Attacking Semine, despite the potential for further conflict, feels morally justifiable to many players. Remember, if you choose Semine, stay with the party; lagging behind results in the town's massacre.

Should You Side With Semine or Hashek?

A conversation with Hashek reveals his thirst for revenge against Semine, advocating for extreme violence. The choice between Semine and Hashek presents itself.

• Siding with Hashek: Choose “Hashek is right.”
• Siding with Semine: Choose “Olda deserves a trial.”

Siding with Semine aligns with a more morally upright approach, preventing further unnecessary bloodshed caused by Hashek's vengeful actions. After confronting Hashek, advise the Semines to burn their estate and flee, progressing the quest. Siding with Hashek leads to the town's complete destruction. You also encounter Olda in the tower, deciding whether to spare him or hand him to Hashek.

Should You Tell von Bergow or Let Hans Talk?

Finally, you report to von Bergow. You can remain silent, letting Hans speak, or reveal the events at Semine. Silence and allowing Hans to speak maintains favor with von Bergow, allowing for a more diplomatic outcome and shifting the focus to Nebakov.
