In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Post Scriptum quest presents you with several choices that can significantly impact your gameplay and the fate of the miners. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this side quest effectively.
How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To kick off the Post Scriptum quest, make your way to the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road and initiate a conversation with Kvyertsolav. This interaction will trigger the quest, which revolves around assisting the miners by writing a crucial letter.
Write the Letter
Head over to the designated house in Kuttenberg to help Kvyertsolav with the letter. Upon entering, opt for the dialogue choice, "Justice is worth more than silver." You'll then have the freedom to decide how to craft the letter—whether to refine it, write it as is, or make it more aggressive and concise. Despite your choice, the letter's impact remains consistent.
Be prepared, as after writing the letter, the miners may attempt to kill you. Successfully passing a Speech check can save your life and persuade them to spare you.
Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?
If you manage to talk your way out of danger, you'll face the decision of whether to turn the miners over to the bailiff. Choosing this path will abruptly end the quest and reward you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most rewarding outcome, so it's advisable to proceed with caution and continue the quest by delivering the letter to Markold instead.
Should You Help Markold or the Miners?
Your next move involves meeting the shaft owner, Markold. After passing through his bodyguard, you'll have the opportunity to hand over the letter, blackmail Markold, or collaborate with him against the miners. Blackmailing him is not recommended due to a challenging Speech check and the immediate termination of the quest.
Opting to assist Markold requires you to eliminate three miners, yielding a meager reward of 60 groschen. This path is less favorable compared to siding with the miners.
The recommended course of action is to deliver the letter to Markold as planned. He will compensate you with seven groschen and instruct you to rendezvous with some miners just north of the city. Upon meeting the miners at the designated camp and speaking with Myslibor, Markold will appear to attack. Join forces with the miners to defeat Markold, concluding the quest. Your efforts will be rewarded with 160 groschen from Myslibor, and you'll have played a pivotal role in improving the miners' working conditions.
