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

Navigating the choices in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, particularly within the main and side quests, can be tricky. If you're grappling with the decision of whether to aid the miners during the Post Scriptum quest, this guide offers clarity.

How to Begin Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Post Scriptum is a side quest initiated in the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern west of Kuttenberg city and speak with Kvyertsolav to begin the quest. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners, a task with unexpected complexities.

Crafting the Letter

Head to the Kuttenberg house to assist Kvyertsolav. Select the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver," to proceed. You can choose to refine the letter, leave it as is, or make it more aggressive. The outcome remains consistent regardless of your choice. After writing, the miners may attempt to harm you; a successful Speech check can defuse the situation.

Handing Over the Miners?

Should you survive the encounter, you'll face the choice of turning the miners over to the bailiff. This immediately concludes the quest, yielding a reward of 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most rewarding or ideal resolution. It's recommended to deliver the letter to Markold instead.

Choosing Sides: Markold or the Miners?

Next, speak with the shaft owner. His bodyguard will grant you access to Markold. You can blackmail him, give him the letter directly, or collaborate with him against the miners. Blackmailing is generally not advised due to a difficult Speech check and immediate quest conclusion.

Aiding Markold involves killing three miners, yielding a meager 60 groschen – the least favorable outcome. Instead, deliver the letter as intended. Markold will offer seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city.

Wait for the miners, proceed to their camp, and speak with Myslibor. Markold will attack; assist the miners in defeating him to complete the quest. This yields a reward of 160 groschen from Myslibor and helps the miners escape their harsh working conditions.

This clarifies whether assisting the miners is the best course of action during the Post Scriptum quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game tips and information, including advice on siding with Semine and a guide to romance options, check out The Escapist.
