Master Warding Off Evil in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with This Guide!

by

As a devoted fan, I can share my experience with the intriguing side quest, “Warding Off Evil,” from the anticipated sequel, “Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.” This mission, while engaging, can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the art of stealthy burglary. Fear not, as I’ve got the perfect strategy to help you conquer it.

In this manual, gamers can discover where to locate the necessary loot for theft and learn the methods required to build the Shielding Axe, which is essential for accomplishing “Warding Off Evil” in KCD2.

How To Start Warding Off Evil In KCD2

In the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players can initiate the quest “Warding Off Evil” by speaking with any Innkeeper in Kuttenberg’s taverns, and discussing the rumor that Johann Parler is seeking assistance for a specific task concerning the city wall construction.

As an enthusiast, I can tell you that I’ve stumbled upon an intriguing discovery in King Charles Tavern, nestled on the Northern side of Kuttenberg. Ascend to the upper level, where you’ll find Master Johann Parler. Engage with him to embark on a thrilling quest.

Henry needs to acquire three distinct items from specific spots to craft a potent protective charm for the wall that Parler is constructing. These items include a Lucky Horseshoe, some Holy Nails believed to be used by a martyr saint, and a Commemorative Coin hidden within the foundation of a local tavern.

Before embarking on your journey, ensure you have a “Quickfingers Potion” in hand as there will be multiple doors to pass through. Wear “Dark Light Clothes” to enhance your “Stealth” and “Observation” ratings; remember, lower values are preferable in this case. Lastly, don’t forget to bring along some “Lockpicks.

How To Get The Holy Nails For Warding Off Evil

As a gamer, I’ll kick off this quest by tracking down the elusive Holy Nails. To get my hands on them, I’ll need to wait until midnight and head to the designated spot marked on my map. There, I’ll find a two-story house with some external stairs. Climbing those stairs, I’ll tackle the Easy lock on the door to gain entry to a rather crowded residence – seven souls are slumbering inside. Keeping quiet is crucial to avoid waking any of them!

Without concerns about their attire making noise or standing out, players can confidently navigate towards the central ladder within the room. Ascend the ladder and search for the altar located on the upper level. Retrieve the Holy Nails from there instead.

Please take your time to step down the ladder quietly, so as not to create any sound. Also, don’t forget to shut the door behind you, as someone inside might wake up and alert the guards if they notice the door ajar.

Ensure you give Mutt the instruction to “Wait here!” at a location distant from Henry’s target home. Having Mutt present near the house could draw the attention of nearby security patrols, potentially leading to an unfavorable situation for Henry.

How To Get The Found Horseshoe

This task should be manageable unless players significantly misalign their timing, resulting in an inopportune entry into the store while some individuals are exiting the premises.

Instead of heading straight for the first door in the tailor’s store on the ground floor without any authorization, they should first force their way in through that door. Once inside, they should make a left turn. High above them, there’s a Horseshoe hanging in the doorframe. They need to climb up and grab it to finish this part of the Side Quest.

How To Get The Commemorative Coin

Head over to The Hanged Man Tavern, where Katherine often assigns quests like The Fifth Commandment. Inside, you’ll find a hidden gem – an underground cellar accessible through a door on the lower floor. Descend the stairs and explore. Once in the cellar, cast your gaze to the right side and inspect the wall behind the storage room.

Some bricks can be taken out to uncover where the Hidden Commemorative Coin is located for players to snatch. Therefore, let’s start excavating and retrieve the coin from its concealed spot.

When players acquire the necessary three items, it’s time to transport them to Johann’s construction site. However, there’s a catch – Henry can’t simply bring any known protective charms into the city to the Architect because they might be suspected of theft. So, that’s where Henry’s blacksmithing skills become crucial. Instead, it will be necessary for him to create a new charm: The Forged Lucky Axe.

How To Craft The Protective Axe For Johann Parler In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

For those new to the blacksmithing mini-game, it’s important to understand that the results of crafting weapons largely rely on your ability to maintain patience and synchronize with rhythm. To create the Protective Axe, players should locate a Blacksmithing Bench (Anvil) and engage with it by performing the necessary actions.

  • When the list of craftable items pops up, go to the Axes tab and select the Protective Axe from the list.
  • Now, the minigame will begin with heating the metal. Use the bellows to heat the metal 11 times, then go to the anvil and start hammering.
  • Pay attention to the rhythm and every 5 blows on all sides of the axe (lower part, middle part, and all three spots following the edge), then flip and repeat. If done correctly, players will be able to craft the axe in no time.

Retrieve the Defensive War Axe and bring it back to Johann Parler at the King Charles Inn to finish the task of Warding off Peril. (Note: “Peril” is synonymous with “Evil” in this context)
