Should You Help the Miners in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Post Scriptum Quest Guide)

Navigating the Choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Post Scriptum Quest

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 presents players with numerous choices, particularly during main and side quests. This guide focuses on the Post Scriptum side quest and whether aiding the miners is the optimal path.

Initiating Post Scriptum

The Post Scriptum quest begins in the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern west of Kuttenberg city and speak with Kvyertsolav to initiate the quest. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners. The way you craft the letter (formal, informal, aggressive) doesn't significantly alter the subsequent events. The miners will attempt to attack you; a successful Speech check allows you to escape.

To Betray or Not to Betray: The Baliff Option

After escaping the miners, you can choose to turn them over to the baliff. This immediately concludes the quest, yielding a meager reward of 100 groschen. This is not the most rewarding or morally satisfying outcome.

The Markold Dilemma

Delivering the letter to Markold, the mine owner, presents further choices: blackmail, direct delivery, or collaboration with Markold against the miners. Blackmailing Markold is generally discouraged due to the difficulty of the Speech check and its immediate quest termination.

Aiding Markold involves eliminating three miners, resulting in a paltry 60 groschen – the least favorable outcome.

The Best Choice: Siding with the Miners

The recommended approach is to deliver the letter to Markold as instructed. He'll provide a small sum (seven groschen) and direct you to meet miners north of the city. After meeting Myslibor, Markold will attack. Assisting the miners in defeating him completes the quest, earning you a significantly better reward of 160 groschen and a more satisfying resolution, improving the miners' working conditions.

This guide clarifies the optimal path in the Post Scriptum quest, encouraging players to support the miners for a more rewarding and ethically sound conclusion. For further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 insights, including advice on other quests and romance options, consult additional resources.
