Should You Side With Semine or Hashek in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Necessary Evil Quest Guide Best Outcome)

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's pivotal "Necessary Evil" quest, players face a difficult moral dilemma: siding with Semine or Hashek. This guide navigates the key choices, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the consequences.

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.

Prisoner Interrogation:

Successful interrogation hinges on Speech checks. Threatening or using torture are alternatives. Required skills for dialogue options 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 Semine's complicity with bandits. Reporting this to von Bergow initiates an attack on Semine's town; concealing it directs the attack towards Nebakov.

Semine or Nebakov?

Attacking Semine leads to further complex choices involving Hashek. Attacking Nebakov concludes the quest immediately, avoiding Semine's bloodshed but potentially overlooking Semine's culpability in innocent deaths. Attacking Semine, while morally challenging, allows for intervention. Failure to ride with the party results in the town's massacre.

Semine or Hashek?

A conversation with Hashek reveals his thirst for revenge against Semine, advocating for extreme violence.

• Choosing "Hashek is right" sides with him, resulting in widespread carnage.
• Choosing "Olda deserves a trial" sides with Semine, preventing further bloodshed.

Siding with Semine, despite his wrongdoing, aligns with a morally upright approach, preventing Hashek's indiscriminate slaughter. After defeating Hashek, advising Semine to burn his estate and flee progresses the quest. Olda's fate (life or death at Hashek's hands) is also decided here.

Tell Von Bergow or Let Hans Talk?

The final choice involves reporting to von Bergow.

• Remaining silent and letting Hans speak maintains both men's favor with von Bergow, leading to future plans against Nebakov.
• Speaking up reveals the events at Semine.

Letting Hans speak is recommended for maintaining positive relations with von Bergow.
