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

Navigating the Choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Post Scriptum Quest

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 presents players with numerous choices, particularly during main and side quests. This guide focuses on the Post Scriptum side quest and whether aiding the miners is the best course of action.

Initiating Post Scriptum:

Post Scriptum becomes available upon reaching the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern west of Kuttenberg and speak with Kvyertsolav to begin the quest. The quest involves writing a letter for the miners, but the path forward branches significantly.

Crafting the Letter:

Visit the indicated house in Kuttenberg to assist Kvyertsolav with the letter. Selecting the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver," is key. While the letter's tone can be adjusted (refined, unchanged, or aggressive), the immediate outcome remains consistent. The miners will attempt to attack; however, a successful Speech check can avert this.

Betraying the Miners:

If you survive the miners' attack, you can choose to hand them over to the baliff. This concludes the quest swiftly, yielding a reward of 100 groschen. However, this is not the optimal outcome or reward.

Choosing Between Markold and the Miners:

Delivering the letter to Markold, the mine owner, requires interacting with his bodyguard. Three options present themselves: blackmailing Markold, simply giving him the letter, or collaborating with him against the miners. Blackmailing is ill-advised due to a difficult Speech check and immediate quest termination.

Aiding Markold results in killing three miners and a meager 60 groschen reward—the least favorable outcome.

The recommended approach is to deliver the letter as intended. Markold will provide seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Upon reaching the designated location and speaking with Myslibor, Markold will attack. Assisting the miners in defeating him concludes the quest, granting a 160 groschen reward and improving the miners' working conditions.

This guide clarifies the optimal path in the Post Scriptum quest, recommending support for the miners. For further insights into Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, including advice on other quests and romance options, consult additional resources.
