Kingdom Come: The Hermits Secret in Deliverance

Here's some information about "The Hermit" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

Overview of The Hermit Quest

Quest Origin: The Hermit quest is part of Blacksmith Radovan's questline. Radovan needs a sword made from high-quality steel for a wedding gift, and rumor has it that a nearby hermit, once a knight, possesses such a sword.
Location: The hermit lives in a cabin located in the Apollonia region. To find him, explore Apollonia, particularly near a black horse by a fence, and head west.

Find the Hermit:
- Approach the hermit's cabin, which is situated between rocks. Be cautious as he can be hostile.
- If he is hostile, try returning later or persuading him to talk.
Engage with the Hermit:
- Exhaust all dialogue options to learn more about him and start the "A Sinful Soul" task.
- In this task, you'll need to deliver Ambrose's Cross to Widow Margaret in Troskowitz.
Deal with the Knights:
- After completing "A Sinful Soul," return to the hermit's location. You might encounter knights planning to attack him.
- Decide whether to help the hermit or side with the knights. Both choices reward you with Groschen.
Obtain the Sword:
- If you help the hermit or obtain his diary, you'll learn about the sword's location. The sword, Ambrose's Broken Sword, is found in a grave near two entwined birch trees.
- Return the sword to Radovan and forge it into a new sword to complete the quest.

Diary of Knight Conrad: If you kill the hermit or steal from him while he sleeps, you can obtain his diary, which contains clues about the sword.
Rewards: Completing the quest rewards you with Groschen and the opportunity to forge a high-quality sword.
