Miners in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Help or Not? (Post Scriptum Quest Guide)

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, players face numerous choices that significantly impact their journey through both the main and side quests. One such decision comes during the Post Scriptum quest, where you must decide whether to help the miners. Let's dive into the details to help you make an informed choice.

How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Post Scriptum is a side quest you can initiate upon arriving in the Kuttenberg region. To begin, head to the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road and speak with the NPC named Kvyertsolav. This quest involves writing a letter for the miners, but be prepared for unexpected twists.

Write the Letter

Visit the house in Kuttenberg to assist Kvyertsolav with the letter. Upon entering, select the dialogue option "Justice is worth more than silver." You have flexibility in how you draft the letter: refine it, write it as is, or make it more aggressive and concise. Regardless of your choice, the result remains the same. After completing the letter, the miners may attempt to kill you, but you can use a Speech check to persuade them to spare you.

Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Baliff?

If you successfully escape the miners, you have the option to turn them over to the baliff. This action ends the quest instantly and rewards you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most rewarding or satisfying outcome. It's better to proceed to Markold with the letter.

Should You Help Markold or the Miners?

Next, you'll need to meet with the shaft owner. Speak to the bodyguard at his house to gain access upstairs and deliver the letter to Markold. Here, you can choose to blackmail Markold, give him the letter, or collaborate with him against the miners. Blackmailing is not advised due to a challenging Speech check that also ends the quest prematurely.

If you opt to assist Markold, you'll be tasked with killing three miners, receiving only 60 groschen, which is the least favorable outcome. Instead, siding with the miners by delivering the letter to Markold as planned is recommended. He'll give you seven groschen and direct you to meet some miners north of the city.

Go to the specified location, wait for the miners, and head to their camp to meet Myslibor. When Markold arrives to attack, join the miners in defeating him. Successfully completing this action nets you 160 groschen from Myslibor and helps improve the miners' working conditions.

This should clarify whether you should help the miners in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* during the Post Scriptum quest. For more tips and insights on the game, including decisions like siding with Semine and exploring romance options, visit The Escapist.
