Navigating the choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be tricky, especially during side quests like Post Scriptum. This guide clarifies the best course of action when deciding whether to aid the miners.
Initiating Post Scriptum:
This side quest becomes available upon reaching Kuttenberg. Locate the tavern west of the city and speak with Kvyertsolav to begin. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners. The wording of the letter doesn't significantly impact the outcome. A successful Speech check after writing the letter prevents the miners from attacking.
Should You Betray the Miners?
Turning the miners over to the baliff offers a quick 100 groschen reward but concludes the quest prematurely and is not the optimal solution.
Helping Markold or the Miners – The Optimal Choice:
Delivering the letter to Markold presents several options: blackmail, direct delivery, or collaboration against the miners. Blackmailing Markold is difficult and ends the quest with a poor reward. Helping Markold results in killing three miners and a meager 60 groschen.
The recommended approach is to give Markold the letter as instructed. He'll pay you seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Assist the miners in defeating Markold. This yields a 160 groschen reward and a more satisfying conclusion, improving the miners' working conditions.
In short, helping the miners provides the best outcome in terms of both reward and moral satisfaction. For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides and strategies, including advice on other quests and romance options, check out The Escapist.
