Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Necessary Evil Quest Guide
Following the completion of "Back in the Saddle," players can initiate the Necessary Evil questline. Von Bergow dispatches Hans and Henry to gather intelligence from Nebakov Fortress, culminating in a crucial prisoner interrogation.
Your interrogation approach directly influences whether von Bergow targets Semine or Nebakov Fortress. This guide focuses on pursuing Semine, where the narrative presents its most challenging ethical dilemmas.
Interrogation Answers Explained
Successfully extracting information requires passing Speech checks or employing torture methods. Choose wisely between persuasion and coercion.
Speech check requirements:
"We'll recommend leniency for you." (20 Impression)
"Istvan and I go way back." (20 Impression)
"Things will turn ugly if you don't cooperate." (17 Intimidation)
The interrogation reveals crucial details about bandit operations and Semine's involvement. Your report to von Bergow determines whether forces assault Semine or Nebakov - each choice significantly impacts the story's progression.
Semine or Nebakov: Which Target to Choose?
Opting for Semine leads to challenging encounters involving Hashek, while choosing Nebakov provides immediate resolution but avoids confronting Semine's crimes.
While Nebakov presents a cleaner resolution, morally conscious players might feel compelled to confront Semine despite developed relationships from earlier gameplay. Personally, confronting Semine felt necessary given his complicity in bandit activities.
Critical note: Choosing Semine requires accompanying the assault force. Failure to participate results in catastrophic consequences for Semine's population.
Semine vs. Hashek: Who to Support?
Hashek's vengeful intentions become apparent through dialogue - his path promises excessive bloodshed.
At the critical juncture, select "Hashek is right" to support vengeful retaliation or "Olda deserves a trial" to advocate for justice over vengeance.
Supporting Semine maintains moral consistency, particularly for players developing Henry as principled character. Hashek's indiscriminate approach would claim innocent lives unnecessarily.
After defeating Hashek, counsel the Semines to destroy their estate and escape - progressing the quest toward resolution with von Bergow.
Warning: Supporting Hashek results in complete slaughter. Additional choices regarding Olda's fate await in the tower.
Reporting to von Bergow: Silence or Honesty?
The quest concludes with Henry choosing whether to report events directly or let Hans handle diplomatic explanations.
Allowing Hans to speak typically yields optimal results, maintaining positive relations while still progressing the Nebakov storyline.
