Kingdom Come Miner's Dilemma: Ethical Quandary and Quest Guide

Navigating the choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be tricky, especially during side quests like Post Scriptum. This guide clarifies whether assisting the miners is the best course of action.

Initiating Post Scriptum:

This side quest begins in the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern west of Kuttenberg and speak with Kvyertsolav to initiate the quest. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners. The wording of the letter doesn't significantly impact the outcome. After writing, the miners may attempt to harm you; a successful Speech check can defuse the situation.

To Betray or Not to Betray:

After the letter incident, you can choose to turn the miners in to the baliff. This nets you 100 groschen but prematurely ends the quest and isn't the optimal choice.

Choosing Sides: Markold or the Miners?

Delivering the letter to Markold, the mine owner, presents further choices: blackmail, simply giving the letter, or cooperating with Markold to subdue the miners. Blackmailing is generally not recommended due to a difficult Speech check.

Helping Markold involves killing three miners, yielding a meager 60 groschen – the least rewarding outcome.

The recommended path is to side with the miners. Give Markold the letter as intended. He'll offer a small sum (seven groschen) and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Aid the miners in confronting Markold; defeating him rewards you with 160 groschen and improves the miners' working conditions.

In conclusion, assisting the miners in the Post Scriptum quest offers the best reward and a more morally satisfying outcome in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game guides and strategies, including advice on other quests and romance options, check out The Escapist.
