Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Absolver Walkthrough

In the medieval times, a warrior typically procured his own weapons. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players will have to help a soldier acquire a magnificent sword, but not quite by honest means. In this guide, we will explain how to pull off this risky adventure.
How to Start the Absolver Quest
Head to the village of Myškovice in the Kuttenberg region and find the local blacksmith. Ask him about the latest news, and he will tell you about a stranger soldier who came to him requesting a sword to be forged. The blacksmith, who dislikes foreigners, refused him, even despite the significant sum offered. At the end of the conversation, he will suggest you go to the military camp — that's where, according to him, you should look for this soldier.
Find a soldier named Tomas from Kolín in Sigismund's camp and talk to him. He will tell you that he wants to obtain the "Absolver" sword from one of the Cumans. To do this, you need to steal the original sword and forge a fake sword for the Cuman.
Steal Bazan's Sword
Find Bazan's tent, which is located in the lower part of the camp, to the left of the tiltyard. Once inside, remember: you are trespassing on private property. We recommend acting quickly — pick the lock, take the sword, and leave the tent before you are discovered.
Forge a Fake Bazan's Sword
Head to the nearest forge to craft the sword. You will need the following materials:
- Deer Hide (1);
- Octagonal Pommel (1);
- Guard (1);
- Frankfurt Steel (2);
- Iron (2).
In the end, you will have the "Absolver" sword — both the original and its exact copy.
Plant the Fake "Absolver" in Bazan's Chest
Return to the tent by the tiltyard. Carefully, to remain unnoticed, place the fake sword in Bazan's chest. You can place either the original or the copy in the chest.
Give the "Absolver" to Tomas
Head to the local blacksmith. To his left, you will meet Tomas — give him the "Absolver" sword, and he will reward you.
You can give Tomas either the original or the fake. Or convince him that a fake is already in the chest and give him either the real sword or the copy.
Alternative Quest Walkthrough
After starting the quest, find Bazan. He is usually at the tiltyard. Inform him about Tomas's plans. Note: once you have extracted the sword from the Cuman's chest, you lose the opportunity for further interaction with him.
Depending on your decision, two outcomes are possible:
- You convinced Bazan to fight Tomas. As a result of the fight, Bazan will be defeated, and you will be able to give the original sword to Tomas.
- You proposed to Bazan to split the money. The amount you split will depend on your persuasiveness. The warrior will show you the original sword. Then you will forge a fake and give it to Tomas. After that, you can split the money with the Cuman.
This quest is notable not only for its captivating story but also for the opportunity to obtain a decent weapon. If your crafting skills are not very well developed, this is a chance to get a good sword almost for free. Moreover, the method by which you obtain this sword will not matter in the future.
