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

Navigating the choices in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, especially within the main and side quests, can be tricky. This guide focuses on the Post Scriptum side quest and whether assisting the miners is the right path.

How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To begin Post Scriptum, travel to 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—but the situation is far from straightforward.

Write the Letter

Head to the Kuttenberg house to assist Kvyertsolav with the letter. Selecting the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver," will proceed the quest. While crafting the letter, you can choose to refine it, leave it as is, or make it more aggressive. The outcome remains the same regardless of your choice. After writing, the miners may attempt to attack; passing a Speech check will prevent this.

Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Baliff?

If you avoid the miners' attack, you'll have the option of handing them over to the baliff. This immediately concludes the quest, rewarding you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the optimal outcome or the best reward. It's recommended to deliver the letter to Markold instead.

Should You Help Markold or the Miners?

Next, speak with the shaft owner. After speaking with his bodyguard, you'll be allowed to deliver the letter to Markold upstairs. Here, you can blackmail him, give him the letter directly, or cooperate with him to subdue the miners. Blackmailing is ill-advised due to the difficulty of the Speech check and immediate quest conclusion.

Aiding Markold involves killing three miners, yielding a meager 60 groschen—the least desirable outcome. It's far more beneficial to side with the miners. Deliver the letter to Markold as intended. He'll provide seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city.

Proceed to the designated location, wait for the miners, and then head to their camp to speak with Myslibor. Markold will attack; assist the miners in defeating him to complete the quest. This earns you 160 groschen from Myslibor and helps the miners escape their harsh working conditions.

This concludes the guide on whether to aid the miners during the Post Scriptum quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game tips and insights, including advice on siding with Semine and a comprehensive guide to romance options, explore The Escapist.
