Introduction

If you want a clear, practical, and human-led kingdom come deliverance walkthrough, you’re in the right place. I played and researched hundreds of hours across different saves to compile a guide that helps you finish the main story, pick the best side quests, master combat, and make Henry a believable medieval hero. This guide blends step-by-step quest walkthroughs, combat tips, alchemy and crafting advice, and map and economy strategies so you can enjoy Kingdom Come: Deliverance without endless time lost on avoidable mistakes.

Getting started: basics every Henry should know

Before diving into a quest walkthrough, learn the game’s core systems. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a realistic medieval RPG, so saving, stamina, food, and training matter. Here are the essentials:

  • Saves: Use multiple manual saves in addition to autosave. Keep one slot for story-critical decisions.
  • Stamina and sleep: Fatigue affects combat and skill gain. Rest at an inn or bedroll and manage rations.
  • Skills and perks: The skill system levels through use. Practice sword fighting, archery, speech, and lockpicking early to avoid trouble later.
  • Equipment: Armor reduces speed penalties differently than you expect — try medium armor for balance.
  • Map and travel: Walk to gain stamina and practice, fast travel only after renting a bed or completing certain tasks.

Use these basics as the foundation for every mission in this KCD walkthrough and Kingdom Come: Deliverance guide.

Main quest walkthrough: chapter-by-chapter tips and steps

The main quest is long and sometimes unforgiving. Below are concise steps and examples for key chapters to keep you moving forward with minimal frustration.

Prologue and Rattay: start right

  • Follow the quest objectives to learn controls—talk to villagers, practice fighting. This early sequence sets up combat training and basic choices.
  • Pick up gear and sells any unwanted items to the Rattay merchant. Keep a dagger and basic travel clothes.
  • Train with Sir Radzig when offered—this gives you an early combat advantage and story context.

Joining Lord Radzig’s forces and the rescue

  • Complete preparatory quests to gain allies. Side quests that improve your speech and leadership help dialog options later.
  • For rescue missions, plan stealth entries at night and use crossbows or bows from a distance to soften numbers. The combat tips section has specific strategies.
  • Always loot key enemies—unique armor and coins matter for upgrades.

Prague and the big choices

  • When you reach Prague, follow the main quest markers but take time to upgrade armor and craft bandages.
  • Main quest dialogs often have multiple solutions; save before key talks. Your speech and charisma stats influence outcomes.
  • Use the map to identify merchants and alchemists; good potions and poisons are a game-changer.

Endgame: siege and final missions

  • By the late game, focus on high-tier armor and a reliable horse. Spend perk points on endurance and sword skills.
  • Complete side quest guides that give you allies or castle advantages. They pay off during sieges and large battles.
  • Approach final missions with plenty of healing poultices and food; save before every major engagement.

Side quests and where to invest time

Side quests often deliver unique weapons, armor, or reputation. This section lists high-value missions and strategies in this KCD guide.

  • Robber Baron and bandit camps: Clearing strongholds nets armor and cash. Bring potions and try to separate enemies.
  • The Good Thief and stealth quests: These reward excellent light armor and lockpicking practice. Stealth and archery skills make these faster.
  • Alchemy side quests: Help you obtain rare reagents. Even a basic alchemy build can generate healing items to save money.
  • Favors for nobles: Boosts your standing with powerful NPCs and unlocks merchant discounts and unique gear.

Prioritize side quests that directly benefit combat, skills, or money if you want a smoother main quest experience.

Combat and skills: win sword fights and siege battles

Combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is physics-based. Sword fighting, archery, and stealth all rely on timing, stamina, and positioning. These combat tips and examples will help you win more encounters.

Sword fighting

  • Stance and direction: Aim your strikes to the side the enemy is less protected. Practice in training arenas to learn directional blocks and ripostes.
  • Feints and riposte: Mix light and heavy strikes. Use a light strike to punish openings, heavy strikes to break through defenses.
  • Armor consideration: Heavier armor reduces incoming damage but drains stamina. Balance mobility with protection.

Archery

  • High ground: Always try to gain height. It increases hit chances and gives you time to line up shots.
  • Power vs. precision: Use drawn shots for heavy damage at the cost of stamina. Keep arrows that are suited to your target.

Stealth

  • Light armor: Wear quiet boots and tunics to reduce detection.
  • Sneak kills: Backstabs and chokeholds are faster than slow engagements. Use distraction items like throwing stones.

Skills and perks

  • Train by doing: use a bow to raise archery, lockpick chests to raise lockpicking. Skills are improved by repeated use.
  • Invest perk points in endurance, melee defense, and cooking for survivability. Prioritize early perks that reduce stamina drain.

Economy, trading, and crafting: get rich without cheating

Money and trade matter if you want the best armor and weapons. This section of the KCD walkthrough explains how to build wealth and useful alchemy and crafting tips.

  • Sell intelligently: Don’t sell everything to one vendor. Different traders pay better for certain goods—armorers buy armor, apothecaries value reagents.
  • Hunting: Hunt deer and fox for pelts; these sell well and provide crafting materials.
  • Alchemy: Make poultices and tonics to sell. Even basic alchemy creates high-margin goods if you collect herbs from the map regularly.
  • Blacksmithing: Upgrade weapons and repair gear over buying new items whenever possible to save money.

Using these strategies, you’ll have the funds for better horse tack, armor, and weapon improvements before the late game.

Map, travel, and mods: navigate Bohemia efficiently

Understanding the in-game map and travel options speeds up your playthrough. Below are practical map tips and how community mods can improve your experience.

  • Waypoints and merchants: Mark merchants and trainers on your mental map. Early visits to potion makers and armorers pay dividends.
  • Horse use: Always fast-travel on horseback when story allows; horses are faster and open mounted combat later in the game.
  • Community mods: Mods can improve UI, add map markers, or tweak difficulty. If you play on PC, check popular mod collections to smooth out irritations (but back up saves first).

Remember: mods change game balance. Use them if you want a different experience, but for a pure kingdom come deliverance walkthrough, the base game provides the intended challenge.

Tips and examples: common pitfalls and how to avoid them

  • Pitfall – low stamina: Always carry food and poultices. Example: during a bandit camp raid, I kept fighting until my stamina hit zero; a single poultice and a few bites of jerky turned the tide.
  • Tip – speech checks: Train speech by persuading minor NPCs. A high speech skill can avoid combat or get better quest rewards.
  • Pitfall – lockpicking failure: Don’t attempt high-level locks without practice. Use lockpicks and a lower-level lock as practice; failure can lead to arrest.
  • Tip – save strategy: Keep multiple saves before major dialogs and sieges. I recommend at least three slots: current play, previous checkpoint, and a backup before major choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long is a full kingdom come deliverance walkthrough?

A full playthrough varies by playstyle. Main story only takes about 40-60 hours. Completing an extensive kingdom come: deliverance guide including most side quests and skill training can take 100+ hours.

Q2: What are the best early game skills to level?

Focus on sword fighting, endurance, archery, and lockpicking early. These skills reduce frustration and unlock many paths in quest walkthroughs.

Q3: Should I focus on stealth or heavy armor?

Both work, but choose based on playstyle. Stealth and archery allow bypassing many fights, while heavy armor suits players who enjoy direct sword fighting. A balanced approach with medium armor is often the most forgiving.

Yes. Side quests that reward unique armor, weapons, or significant cash are must-do. Also prioritize quests that improve relationships with lords and merchants as they unlock story options and discounts.

Q5: Can mods help with a walkthrough?

Mods can improve the UI, map, and balance. They are useful for quality-of-life improvements, but if you want an authentic vanilla walkthrough, avoid major gameplay-altering mods.
