Kingdom Come: Two Sides, One Truth Unraveled

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's "Necessary Evil" quest presents a challenging moral dilemma: siding with Semine or Hashek. This guide details the choices and their consequences.

Quest Walkthrough:

Following the "Back in the Saddle" quest, "Necessary Evil" begins. Von Bergow tasks Hans and Henry with gathering intelligence from Nebakov Fortress, including interrogating a prisoner.

Prisoner Interrogation:

Successful interrogation requires passing Speech checks:

• "We'll put in a good word for you." (20 Impression)
• "Istvan and I are old acquaintances." (20 Impression)
• "Otherwise, it'll end badly for you." (17 Intimidation)

Alternatively, torture can extract information. The interrogation reveals Semine's involvement with bandits. Reporting to von Bergow, you can choose to expose Semine, leading to an attack on his town, or protect him, resulting in an attack on Nebakov.

Attacking Semine or Nebakov:

Attacking Semine initiates a more complex series of choices involving Hashek. Choosing Nebakov concludes the quest immediately, avoiding the bloodshed at Semine but potentially overlooking Semine's culpability.

Siding with Semine or Hashek:

Before the attack on Semine, you can speak with Hashek, revealing his thirst for revenge. The choice to side with Hashek ("Hashek is right") results in a brutal massacre. Siding with Semine ("Olda deserves a trial") offers a chance to mitigate the violence. Choosing Semine aligns with a more morally righteous path, preventing widespread carnage. After confronting Hashek, advise Semine to burn his estate and flee.

Reporting to Von Bergow:

Finally, you report to von Bergow. Choosing silence and letting Hans speak maintains favor with von Bergow, leading to the planned attack on Nebakov. Speaking up reveals the events at Semine.

Choosing to remain silent and let Hans handle the report to Von Bergow is recommended for maintaining a positive relationship with both Von Bergow and Hans.

This comprehensive guide helps navigate the moral complexities of "Necessary Evil," offering insight into the optimal choices for different playstyles. Remember, your choices shape the narrative and its consequences.
