Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Bad Blood: How to Achieve the Best Outcome

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Bad Blood quest is when players can choose to help Bozhena, the herb woman at the hut, find her daughter Pavlena. As players play through the quest, the game not only unveils Pavlena’s abduction and whereabouts, but also the old grudge between Bozhena and Jakesh. The past between the two of them explains the reason why Bozhena is living out of the town with her daughter as well. To achieve the reconciliation between Bozhena and Jakesh, players need to acquire the information about Pavlena’s pregnancy. This post will walk you through the missions, as well as explain how to achieve the reconciliation between the two families.

How to Start Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Bad Blood Quest?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Bad Blood quest starts after players finish the prologue. The prologue ends at the point when Henry and Hans part ways at Troskowitz after receiving the punishment due to brawling at the tavern. After that, players can freely travel on the map and embark on the available quests.

Players need to talk to Bozhena, the herb woman who saved Henry and Hans in the prologue, and propose to help her find her daughter. When talking to her, she expresses concerns that Pavlena has never been away for such a long time. Upon agreeing to help her, the Bad Blood quest starts.

Bozhena’s hut is located in the woods, west of Troskowitz. Players can click the blue icon to fast travel to her hut as well.

Inquire about Pavlena’s Whereabouts at Troskowitz

Before setting off to Troskowitz, players can ask Bozhena more questions about Pavlena and investigate her room. The information from Bozhena sheds more light on her past regarding adopting Pavlena and Pavlena’s parents. However, it is not really helpful in finding her. The most useful hint is the boy’s cap in Pavlena’s room, because the story later reveals that Pavlena is dating Roman.

Then, players can ask around to find out Pavlena’s whereabouts in Troskowitz. Generally, there are 2 NPCs who give the most important information, and players need to locate them. Ask around other NPCs, and they will suggest players asking the bailiff.

1. Bailiff Thrush: Bailiff will ask Henry to check out Roman’s house.
2. Woodcutter Dushko: Dushko is right at Roman’s house, trying to look for him.

The most important move is to press Dushko to tell Henry the reason why Roman and Pavlena would want to leave, because only Dushko knows about Pavlena’s pregnancy. Players can make the following decisions in the dialogue to unveil the reason.

1. Are you looking for Roman, too?
2. Where should I look for them?
3. Why would Roman want to move out?
4. It could be important. (Or choosing other options to make Dushko talk.)

Look For Roman’s Body in the Woods

Next, players need to search Roman’s place. Players can get into Roman’s house either through lockpick or climbing the ladder near the gate. However, the search does not provide any useful information other than confirming that Pavlena was with Roman.

Then, players should ask Dushko about a spot that Roman and Pavlena might have gone to, the lovers’ spot. At this point, players need to investigate:

1. The rock with blood at the crime scene.
2. The trail of blood. Follow the trail.

The trail of blood leads players to Roman’s dead body, which is being munched on by a pig. Players should be able to hear the herdsman’s voice at this spot. The next step is to ask the nearby Hogherd Hugo to see whether he knows anything about the dead body.

Talk to Hugo and ask him to tell you what happened:

1. Your pig found a corpse.
2. Have you noticed anything suspicious?

At the end of this conversation, Hugo says that he saw Straw, a helper at Jakesh’s farm, carry a spade here in a hurry.

Confront Straw and Find Out Pavlena’s Whereabouts

Players can find Straw at Jakesh’s farm, which is marked on the map. Players can try to persuade him to tell in the following conversation:

1. You buried Roman’s body.
2. Choose any of the options to persuade him

If the persuasion fails, players need to win the fight against him, and then he tells the truth. With the information about Pavlena and Ota’s whereabouts, players can choose Straw’s fate. Players can either kill him on-site or turn him over to the bailiff.

Straw explains most of the details and the motives for the abduction. He and his brother Ota went to a tavern with Jakesh and learned about the old grievance between Jakesh and Bozhena. In order to earn the trust and the hand of Jakesh’s daughter, Ota came up with the idea of abducting Pavlena and faking her death to Jakesh. However, the plan ends up killing Roman by accident.

Save Pavlena and Choose to Reconcile

Players can find Pavlena at the location marked on the map. The hideout is between the rocks. The entrance has a ladder, and it is guarded by a white dog.

As the next step, players need to persuade Ota to let Pavlena go. If the Speech, Charisma, or Dread are not high enough to convince Ota directly, try the following options:

1. My name is Henry.
2. Bozhena sent me.
3. Pavlena’s pregnant.
4. You have my word.

If Henry does not know the pregnancy, choosing to tell Ota that you and Pavlena will keep quiet about his crime can work, too. The most important thing is to avoid lying or failing the check too many times and not telling Ota that his brother is dead if players have killed him.

In the end, Pavlena strikes behind Ota’s back and takes her revenge for Roman’s death.

To choose the reconciliation route, players need to make the following choices:

1. You should reconcile yourself.
2. Because Pavlena is pregnant.

Bozhena and Pavlena will agree on the idea to reconcile with Jakesh. Then, players need to talk to Jakesh. Players can make the following options to convince Jakesh:

1. You have to make up with Bozhena.
2. Pavlena is pregnant.

Jakesh gives Henry compensation for Bozhena, and Henry can choose either to give that money to Bozhena or keep it. Bozhena would gladly take the compensation and give Henry half of it.

Conclusion: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Bad Blood

Generally speaking, players can reach the good ending of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Bad Blood quest with the information about Pavlena’s pregnancy. Although players cannot guarantee to pass all the speech, charisma, or dread checks, telling her pregnancy to Ota, Bozhena, and Jakesh helps achieve a good outcome and the reconciliation between Bozhena and the town people.

While players can convince Ota and Bozhena without telling them the pregnancy or passing any checks, they cannot persuade Jakesh to reconcile without telling him the pregnancy or passing the checks. Without the reconciliation, the mission ends with Jakesh’s death. Overall, knowing the secret of Pavlena’s pregnancy is crucial to achieve the reconciliation ending, because of the necessity of convincing Jakesh.
