How To Get the Free Dogwood Village Bow Early in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Secure a Free Bow Early in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Early-game combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be challenging, especially without proper weaponry. This guide shows you how to obtain the Dogwood Village Bow early and without spending a single groat.

After parting ways with Hans, your path to Semine's wedding involves either working for a blacksmith or a miller. Regardless of your chosen profession, the blacksmith's location conveniently marks the bow's whereabouts on your map. Even if you opt for the miller's path, locating this free weapon is a simple detour.

The blacksmith's workshop is situated in Tachov, north of Troskowitz. From Troskowitz (where the prologue concludes), follow the westward road, then continue north along the curving path. At the fork where a smaller road branches west, turn right towards a cluster of trees. This seemingly unremarkable area hides a small training ground.

Within the tree cluster, you'll find a target with arrows—free ammunition! To the right of the target, leaning against a tree trunk, is the Dogwood Village Bow. You'll also discover nearby brew and mushrooms. Once you've gathered your supplies, resume your quest.

Alternative Acquisition:

While the Dogwood Village Bow is available for purchase from Huntsman's Son Vitek in Tachov, it's not the most powerful ranged weapon, making the free option far more advantageous. Vitek does, however, offer superior weaponry, and you can supplement your funds through alchemy.

Regardless of your chosen method, having a ranged weapon significantly eases combat, especially given the game's fixed difficulty settings. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's melee system may not appeal to all players, making a ranged option a valuable asset.

After acquiring the bow, continue your journey to Tachov to become a blacksmith (saving after forging a sword) or proceed to the miller to advance the main storyline.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
