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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the choices you make during quests can significantly impact your gameplay experience. One such decision arises during the Post Scriptum side quest in the Kuttenberg region. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate this quest and decide whether to assist the miners.

How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To initiate the Post Scriptum quest, head to the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road. Speak with the NPC named Kvyertsolav to kick off the quest. Your task involves writing a letter for the miners, but be prepared for some unexpected twists.

Write the Letter

Navigate to the house in Kuttenberg to assist Kvyertsolav with the letter. Upon entering, select the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver." You have the flexibility to refine the letter, write it as is, or make it more aggressive and concise. Regardless of your choice, the outcome remains the same. After completing the letter, the miners will attempt to kill you, but you can use a Speech check to persuade them to spare you.

Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?

If you successfully save yourself, you'll face the decision of whether to turn the miners over to the bailiff. Opting for this choice will end the quest immediately, rewarding you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most favorable outcome or reward, so it's advisable to proceed with the letter to Markold instead.

Should You Help Markold or the Miners?

Next, you'll need to meet with the shaft owner. Speak to the bodyguard at the house to gain access upstairs and deliver the letter to Markold. At this juncture, you can choose to blackmail Markold, hand over the letter, or collaborate with him to eliminate the miners. Blackmailing him is not recommended due to the challenging Speech check and immediate quest conclusion.

If you decide to assist Markold, you'll be tasked with killing three miners, earning you a mere 60 groschen, which is the least desirable outcome. Instead, I recommend siding with the miners. Deliver the letter to Markold as planned, and he'll give you seven groschen, directing you to meet some miners just north of the city.

Head to the designated location, wait for the miners, and proceed to their camp to speak with Myslibor. When Markold arrives to attack, join forces with the miners to defeat him, concluding the quest. You'll receive 160 groschen from Myslibor and the satisfaction of helping the miners escape their harsh working conditions.
