Meeting Konrad the Hermit in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

As you progress in the game, you will visit Apollonia to choose Konrad’s broken blade.
You return to find Konrad on trial of treason by the knights from the Order of the Cross after completing Ambrose’s last chore.
You will be needed for helping capture him. You have to choose carefully: Will you support Konrad or the knights?
Finding the Truth
Before making a decision, it’s important to collect proof about Konrad’s supposed betrayal. In his shack, check upstairs under some sacks for a secret diary.
Reading it shows that Konrad was trying to identify a breach in the Order. This shows that he has good goals and that helping him might lead to a better result.

Dealing with Konrad
Talk carefully when you speak with Konrad. He avoids people carefully and has a crossbow. To build his trust:
- Listen to His Warnings : If he asks you to stop, do it right away to prevent problems.
- Start a Conversation : Use dialog options like “Try to get answers” and “I am not your enemy” to show you mean no harm.
- Wait for His Signal : Wait until he lowers his weapon so you know he’s ready to chat.
After this conversation, you can choose to help Konrad against the guards. Helping him leads to a fight where you need to beat the attackers.
Find the black horse
You can find the black horse at the Abandoned Camp location, which is east of the road in Apollonia. See the map below for the exact location. You can proceed to the hermit’s camp after finding and inspecting the horse.

- Loot : Along with other stuff you may sell, beating the knights gives a Knight Shield.
