Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 follows Henry of Skalitz with his friend Hans Capon, the captain Jan Žižka, the agent Katherine and the priest Godwin, against King Sigismund, Istvan Toth, Erik and Markvart von Aulitz; Warhorse credits Tom McKay (Henry), Luke Dale (Hans), Adrian Bouchet (Žižka) and Jim High (Erik), among others.

Hans Capon is the young lord and heir to Rattay, Henry's closest friend and companion through most of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, voiced by Luke Dale; he can be romanced, and the story ends with his arranged marriage still ahead of him.

Henry of Skalitz is the hero of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a blacksmith's son from Skalitz turned servant of Sir Radzig Kobyla, played in voice, motion and facial capture by Tom McKay; the player shapes his skills, perks, looks and honor.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Jan Žižka is a bandit captain at Nebakov who duels Henry, loses an eye to him, then becomes his commander and closest ally; the real Žižka (born about 1360, died 1424) became the undefeated general of the Hussite Wars.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Henry wears armor in layers, about ten slots from coif and collar to gambeson, mail, plate and padded legs, and every piece adds defense but also changes his Charisma, noise, visibility and conspicuousness. Armor wears down and is mended with repair kits or by craftsmen, and dirt and blood lower how people treat him until he washes.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 bows shoot fastest but hit lightest and need Strength and Agility, while crossbows, new to the series, reload slowly by hand, crank or pulley but hit harder with almost no requirements. Both use the Marksmanship skill and aim with no crosshair; TheGamer ranks the Ash Longbow and the Reinforced Heavy Crossbow among the best.

Henry gets his first gun in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in the main quest The Finger of God, where Hertel gives him a handgonne and 20 lead balls. Guns load slowly, aim badly and drain stamina, but one hit can drop an armored man; gunmaker Prokop Eldris in Kuttenberg sells more for about 200 to 1,200 groschen.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has three melee weapon skills: Swords (shortswords, sabers, hunting swords and longswords, the only weapons that can Master Strike), Heavy Weapons (maces, axes and war hammers, best against plate) and Polearms (the longest reach), plus shields, daggers for stealth kills and unarmed fighting.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you brew potions at an alchemy bench by following a recipe step by step: pour a base into the cauldron, add herbs in order, boil them for a set number of hourglass turns, then pour or distill. Game Rant counts 27 recipes, from Savior Schnapps (wine, one nettle, two belladonna) to poisons and gunpowder.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you forge weapons and horseshoes yourself at a smithy: learn a recipe from a sketch, heat the metal with the bellows until it glows straw yellow, hammer it evenly on the anvil, reheat as needed and quench it. Blacksmith Radovan in Tachov teaches it in The Blacksmith's Son, and it raises Craftsmanship.

Brushes with Death is the first story DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, released May 15, 2025 with Update 1.3 for $5.99 on Steam. Henry helps the eccentric painter Master Voyta finish the most important painting of his life over 10 quests across both maps; it starts at a purple marker southeast of Trosky Castle, adds shield painting and has three endings.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has three story DLCs, Brushes with Death (May 15, 2025, $5.99), Legacy of the Forge (Sep 9, 2025, $13.99) and Mysteria Ecclesiae (Nov 11, 2025, $13.99), all in the $29.99 Expansion Pass, plus three cosmetic packs and a soundtrack and artbook. Mysteria Ecclesiae is the last; the Royal Edition holds every add-on.

Legacy of the Forge is the second story DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, released Sep 9, 2025 with Patch 1.4 for $13.99 on Steam. Henry joins Kuttenberg's blacksmiths' guild, rebuilds the burnt-out forge where his adoptive father Martin trained, earns Prestige to upgrade it, and restores the city's astronomical clock; it starts after the main quest Speak of the Devil.

Mysteria Ecclesiae is the third and final story DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, released Nov 11, 2025 with Patch 1.5 for $13.99 on Steam. Henry assists the royal physician Sigismund Albicus inside the quarantined Sedletz Monastery to find the source of a deadly plague; it starts with Peter of Pisek at Suchdol once the main quest The Sword and the Quill is underway.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a crime that someone witnesses or discovers gets Henry confronted by the victim or a guard, and he can pay a fine, talk his way out, flee or fight, or accept punishment: the stocks, caning, branding on the neck, or hanging for a serious crime while still branded. Reputation is tracked per town, region and person.

Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a six-dice game where you set aside scoring dice (a 1 is 100, a 5 is 50, three of a kind is 100 times the face, three 1s are 1,000), then bank the turn or reroll the rest, losing the turn's points if a roll scores nothing. Badges of Tin, Silver or Gold and special dice such as the Weighted Die bend the odds.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Henry must eat and sleep: keep nourishment under 100 and energy above 50, sleep about eight or nine hours a night, and never eat food below condition 50. Health returns through sleep, Marigold Decoction and other potions, while bleeding stops only with bandages.

Hardcore Mode came to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 free in Patch 1.2.4 on Apr 15, 2025. It hides Henry's position on the map, removes fast travel, the compass directions and combat cues, stops enemies surrendering, and makes the player pick at least three permanent negative perks from a list of ten.

Henry's first horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is Pebbles, his mare from the first game, recovered at the Semine stables with a Speech check or for a fee; riding her about 35 km unlocks the hidden perk Good Old Pebbles. Herring is offered at Trosky Castle, more than 20 other horses are sold or stolen, and Update 1.3 added free horse racing.

Mutt, Henry's dog from Skalitz, goes missing early in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and comes back through the side quest Mutt, which ends with a wolf fight near the Nomads' Camp; reuniting opens the Houndmaster skill, whose commands include Heel, Stay, Go Home, Sic'em, Track, Free! and Bark. Mutt cannot be killed, and feeding him fresh meat keeps him obedient.

Perks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are bonuses bought with perk points, one earned each time a stat or skill levels up. Tiers open at even levels from 6 to 20 in each of 20 trees. Outlets most often name Jack of All Trades, Secret of Matter, Martin's Heritage, Deft Hands and Diehard among the best.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has no free quicksave: you save by drinking a Savior Schnapps, sleeping in a bed you own, using Save and Quit from the menu, or through autosaves at quest milestones. Savior Schnapps is brewed from wine, one nettle and two belladonna, or bought cheaply at taverns and apothecaries.

Henry has 4 main stats (Strength, Agility, Vitality, Speech) and 15 skills in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Each one levels by use, caps at 30 like the main level, and gives a perk point every time it rises.

Dialogue checks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 pass or fail outright: the stat a line uses (Persuasion, Coercion, Impression, Domination, Presence or Intimidation) must meet the check's level, and each draws on Speech, Charisma, gear and reputation. Speech is a main stat raised by haggling, books and passed checks; Charisma (maximum 30) comes from clean, fine clothes, baths, perfumes and perks.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you sneak by crouching in quiet, dark clothes, knock people out or stealth kill them (a dagger is needed to kill) from behind, open locks by holding the cursor in a lock's gold sweet spot while turning it, and pickpocket by banking time on a reddening screen before taking items from a wheel. Miller Kreyzl in Lower Semine teaches all three.

In your first hours of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, finish the prologue, take the combat training and Master Tomcat's duel, recover Pebbles and Mutt, keep Savior Schnapps for saves, eat, sleep and wash, haggle every trade and avoid crime. Skills rise by use, so the early weakness after the prologue passes quickly.

The early choices that matter most in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are the Wedding Crashers route (Radovan or the miller), which horse to keep, your first perks and where you get armor and a sword in the Trosky region. The prologue playstyle choice (Soldier, Adviser or Scout) gives only small starting bonuses, so Game Rant suggests Adviser or Soldier.

The fastest legal groschen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 come from archery and fistfight contests, Riddler Barley (550 groschen for four riddles), dice, treasure maps, brewing and selling potions, blacksmithing and, in Kuttenberg, the weekly tournament (over 1,000 groschen a win in later rounds). Theft pays too, but stolen goods must go to a fence such as Whitebeard, who holds only 240 groschen.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has no classes, so a build is the skills Henry uses, the perks he buys and the gear he wears. Outlets recommend a heavy-weapon warrior in plate, a longbow archer, a Hook Gun gunner, a stealthy thief and a Speech-and-Charisma talker.

The fastest way to level in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is to repeat each skill's best activity. Fight in Miller Kreyzl's brawls for Strength, haggle and pass Speech checks for Speech, open his relocking practice chest for lockpicking, and brew Strong Marigold Decoctions for Alchemy. Buy skill books at about 150 groschen each.

Guide outlets name the reforged Radzig Kobyla's sword the best longsword in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Sword of Sir Valentine the best one-handed sword, the Ramhead Hammer the best blunt weapon and the Lord of Holohlavy Heater Shield the best shield, with a late armor set of Noble's Bascinet, Milanese Cuirass and Nuremberg gauntlets (134 defense each) from Kuttenberg's armorers.

Melee in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is directional: you attack the side your opponent is not guarding, block at the last moment for a Perfect Block, and with a sword counter through the green shield cue with a Master Strike, which Master Tomcat teaches at the Nomads' Camp after Laboratores. Combos, feints, clinches and stamina decide longer fights.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has 83 Steam achievements with its DLC; Game Rant counted 50 achievements and 51 PlayStation trophies in the base game. The rarest on Steam is Lent (finish the game without eating meat or killing animals), held by 1.0% of players on Oct 25, 2026, and 29.1% have finished the story.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has five full romances (Katherine, Hans Capon, Rosa Ruthard, Klara and Margaret) and four quick ones (Doubravka, Widow Johanka, Black Bartosch and Lousy Mary); Henry can pursue several, but Katherine and Hans exclude each other.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has dozens of side quests (Game Rant lists 42 in the base game) across the Trosky and Kuttenberg regions, paying groschen, gear, reputation and skill experience. The standouts include The Fifth Commandment, The Mouth of Hell, In Vino Veritas and the Kuttenberg Tournament, and For Victory! and Oratores cancel several unfinished ones.

The score is by Jan Valta with Adam Sporka: over ten hours of new music, recorded with the Warhorse Studio Orchestra and Choir.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has one main ending, in Judgment Day, where the ghosts of Henry's parents judge his deeds (proud if he kept his honor, cold if not), plus a secret Theresa ending and several secret endings and game overs; after the credits you can keep playing in free roam.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is set in Bohemia in 1403, during the war between King Wenceslas IV and his half-brother Sigismund of Hungary, in the real Trosky Castle region and the silver town of Kuttenberg (Kutná Hora). Many characters are real people, but Warhorse aims for "historical immersion" rather than exact accuracy, and moves or invents events for the story.

The Kuttenberg region holds 20 of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's 32 main quests, from The Sword and the Quill to the final quest, Judgment Day, ending with the siege of Suchdol in So It Begins..., Besieged, Hunger and Despair, Reckoning and the second Last Rites.

The Trosky region holds the first 12 of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's 32 main quests, from Last Rites to Storm; after the prologue they are Wedding Crashers, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Back in the Saddle, Necessary Evil, For Victory!, Divine Messenger, The Finger of God and Storm.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 prologue is four linear main quests (Last Rites, Easy Riders, Fortuna and Laboratores) that take about two hours and end when Hans leaves Henry in the stocks and the Trosky region opens with two goals, a wedding invitation and the lost dog Mutt.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has 32 main quests, 12 in the Trosky region and 20 in the Kuttenberg region, running from the prologue Last Rites to the finale Judgment Day; the main story takes about 50 hours.

Kuttenberg (today's Kutná Hora) is the silver-mining city at the heart of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's second map, which opens after the main quest Storm. Warhorse says the city is some ten times larger than the first game's Rattay; its region also holds Suchdol, Sigismund's Camp, Maleshov, the Devil's Den and Sedletz Monastery.

The Trosky region is the first of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's two maps, the Bohemian Paradise around Trosky Castle, where the 12 opening main quests take place. Its main town is Troskowitz, with Tachov, Semine, Zhelejov, the Nomads' Camp, Apollonia and Nebakov Fortress around it.
