Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Oratores Walkthrough

In the storyline quest Oratores in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players must escort Lady Rosa to the Ruthard mansion to help her get rid of vagabonds and obtain the key to the royal treasury. In this guide, we will describe a detailed walkthrough of the quest and explain how to prevent the cardinal from escaping during the chase.
Go to Suchdol to Join the Others
If you arrive in Suchdol immediately after completing the previous quest, talk to Zhizhka, who will say that you need to listen to Lord Bergov at dawn. You can finish all your previously postponed tasks and sleep in your bed. In his dream, Henry will see Istvan again. Return to the meeting hall on the second floor after 9 am.
If all the friends have already gathered in the hall, find Zhizhka before entering — he will be sitting on a bench. Interact with him to start the interrogation. During the conversation, try not to choose harsh responses to maintain your reputation. Listen to Bergov's proposal and agree to escort Rosa to her estate in Kuttenberg.
Escort Lady Rosa to the Ruthard Mansion
After some time, you will find yourself near a cave. Follow Rosa, and at some point, she will ask to be carried. Once out, you will see bandits taking over the mansion.
Get Rid of the Vagabonds in the Ruthard House
Outside, you'll face five regular opponents. They have poor weapons and are not equipped with armor, so dealing with them will be easy. As we mentioned earlier, you can use the staircase to prevent enemies from surrounding your main character. Once all the vagabonds are killed, talk to Rosa — by this time, she will have managed to get to her room.
Climb the stairs to the second floor and kill two bandits here. There will be one more left on the third floor, trying to break into Rosa's room.
How to Get a Romantic Scene with Lady Rosa
Knock on the door and say the house is cleared. At this moment, you can get a romantic scene, but only if you previously found the book in the Maleshov fortress during the quest Rosa's Book, and also forbade Zhizhka from using the siege weapon to destroy the fortress.
If all conditions are met, choose the following options:
- "Allies are our most valuable asset."
- "I won't leave you alone!"
- (Kiss Rosa).
Talk to Zhizhka
If you received the intimate scene with Lady Rosa, in the morning you can talk to her and learn that this is the conclusion of your relationship. Also, don't forget to equip armor, as the main character will be in just his pants. Go to the courtyard and talk to Zhizhka.
Get the Key to the Royal Treasury
The commander suggests going to the mint master Vavak to enlist his support and, if possible, obtain the key. Players need to head to the familiar location where they previously spoke with Vavak. At the entrance, there will still be guards, but this time they won't let you in. There's no point in picking the lock on the main entrance door: go around the building and use a lockpick on the easy lock at the back entrance.
Once done, go up to the second floor. Here you will meet Christian Pisetsky. Depending on your relationship and whether you agreed to cover the secret production of silver coins, his responses will vary. Ask the man about the key, trust him, and promise that he will become the royal mint master and that no one will expose him.
Christian will tell you that Vavak suddenly disappeared, but most likely left the key somewhere here. The key is not in the building, so exit through the back door and approach the outdoor toilet. As soon as you do this, a marker will appear on the map, and you will gain access to the "Investigate" action. Once you retrieve the key, don't forget to wash in the trough, as the main character will smell bad.
Return to Zhizhka with the key. Ask Rosa about the underground passages.
Head back to the mansion and talk to your friends. Share everything you learned from Christian, as well as about the guard chief who speaks Wallachian. Immediately run to Rosa and exhaust all options to get information.
Inspect the Underground Passage with Shmuel
During the day, Shmuel is at the table in the main hall where all the friends gather. You will go with him in any case, even if you previously didn't choose the option "I want to go with someone else."
Get Rid of the Robbers in the Crypt
Descend into the dungeon with your companion and just follow him forward. At some point, you will encounter looters. You can kill them or let them go peacefully. For the latter option, use the following lines:
- "What are you looking for among the corpses?"
- "Who is this Lenek?"
- "How did you get here?"
- "You can exit through the Ruthard house."
In the last hall, Shmuel will stop at the wall on the right; you need to go the other way and find the hollow wall. Interact with it so your friend leaves a mark, then return to the mansion.
Report to Zhizhka
During the report, the leader will give Henry 175 groschen. Talk to all your friends again, after which the task will change.
Warn Boguta about the Guard Chief
You will find Boguta either in the main hall with all the friends or in a separate room, the door to which leads from the main hall.
Prepare for the Departure to Loretz
To successfully complete the next task, you need to choose a suitable horse. Let's immediately note that the starter Herring won't do: the cardinal will escape from you very quickly. Choose a horse with a speed of no less than 40-45 points. Good options can be seen at the stable near Maleshev, with whom you met during the storyline quest to find the underground passage in Maleshev. When you are ready, find the Dry Devil and agree to wait with him.
Don't Let the Cardinal Escape!
The cardinal rides exclusively on the road, but you can and should use small shortcuts that will help you catch up with him.
First, use the shortcut at the chapel at the crossroads.
Just follow the road ahead, then bypass the broken cart on the right side.
Without slowing down, continue riding along the road. When Komar overtakes you, stick with him.
At the end of the chase, a cutscene will begin where the cardinal dies in any case — Komar goes a bit overboard with the blow. This way you will receive an unmissable achievement "Martyr".
Discuss What's Next with Zhizhka
It is recommended to equip good weapons and armor, as well as prepare potions, as you will face several serious battles with a large number of enemies. In addition, be sure to prepare a saving schnapps. After the conversation with Zhizhka, the task will be updated.
Learn the Basics of Wallachian Language from Brabant
Vaklen will be waiting for you by the fireplace in the main hall. Choose the following options:
- Buona sera, signori.
- Molte grazie.
- Scusi! Mi sono perso.
- Fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno.
- O mangi la minestra o salti dalla finestra.
- Sei proprio un baccalà!
Retrieve the Italian Garment from Lady Rosa
Lady Rosa is talking with Katerina on the third floor in her room. Approach her to find out that the clothing is in the chest in the corridor. Preemptively switch to a costume you don't mind discarding, so you don't have to put on items in the inventory again.
Prepare for Departure to the Wallachian Court
Go to the inner courtyard and talk to Godwin (Boguta), he will be sitting on a bench at the exit. You can chat with him on various topics, then choose the option "Can we go out?" At this point, the storyline quest will be completed.
