Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Should You Aid the Miners? (Post Scriptum Guide)

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you face numerous decisions throughout the main and side quests, including the pivotal Post Scriptum quest. If you're pondering whether to assist the miners during this quest, here's everything you need to know to make an informed choice.

How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To embark on the Post Scriptum side quest, make your way to the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road and initiate the quest by speaking with the NPC named Kvyertsolav.

This quest involves writing a letter for the miners, but be prepared for unexpected challenges along the way.

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." As you draft the letter, you have the flexibility to refine it, leave it as is, or make it more aggressive and concise. Regardless of your approach, the result remains the same. Post-letter, the miners will attempt to kill you, but you can use a Speech check to de-escalate the situation and secure your safety.

Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?

If you successfully talk your way out of the miners' attack, you have the option to betray them by turning them over to the bailiff. Doing so will end the quest prematurely and earn you a modest reward of 100 groschen. However, this isn't the optimal outcome or the best reward you could achieve. Instead, consider delivering the letter to Markold for a more favorable resolution.

Should You Help Markold or the Miners?

Your next move is to engage with the shaft owner. After speaking with the bodyguard at the house, you'll be permitted to go upstairs and hand the letter to Markold. Here, you face a crucial decision: you can blackmail Markold, deliver the letter as intended, or collaborate with him to eliminate the miners. Blackmailing Markold is not advised due to the challenging Speech check and the abrupt end it brings to the quest.

Opting to assist Markold involves killing three miners, which yields a mere 60 groschen, making it the least desirable outcome. Instead, siding with the miners is recommended. Deliver the letter to Markold as planned, receive seven groschen, and then proceed to meet the miners just north of the city.

At the designated location, wait for the miners, then approach the camp and converse with Myslibor. When Markold arrives to confront them, join forces with the miners to defeat him, concluding the quest. This path not only nets you a rewarding 160 groschen from Myslibor but also helps improve the miners' dire working conditions.

By choosing to help the miners during the Post Scriptum quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you not only receive a substantial reward but also contribute to a more just outcome.
