Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: The Thieves' Code Walkthrough

In the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, each quest immerses gamers in the atmosphere of medieval Bohemia. In the quest The Thieves’ Code, you will need to unravel the mystery of the symbols on the houses of Kutná Hora.
How to Start the Quest The Thieves’ Code
This quest becomes available after completing the quest "Feast for the Poor." In the tavern "The Hole" in the town of Kutná Hora in the Kuttenberg region, find Čenek and ask him what he has for you.
He will tell you that some houses in the town are marked with special symbols, and you need to find out who is leaving them and why. For this, you will need to find a person named Hynek.
Tell Štulc about the Quest
Find Štulc in the tavern. Tell him about your new quest. He will ask you to report to him what the symbols mean, which you were asked to investigate.
Go to Hynek
Head to the northern city gates. Find the house to the left of the city exit and go inside.
Find Out from Borov What Happened
Entering the house, you will discover Hynek's body. Talk to Borov to find out what happened. He will tell you that he tried to extract information about the symbols from Hynek, but he angered him, and in a fit of rage, Borov accidentally killed him.
Examine Hynek's Body
Examine the body of Hynek the Nimble. Take the letter from his corpse.
Read the Parchment with the Riddle
Read the verse from the note found on Hynek.
Talk to Borov Again
Talk to Borov. Tell him about the riddle you read. He will respond that he cannot help and will ask you not to inform Čenek about what happened.
Search the Thieves' Stash
Return to the tavern to Čenek. You can mention that Štulc is also interested in the symbols, but it will not affect the quest. Čenek will suggest starting the search at the fountain near the western city gates.
According to the riddle, wait until noon and see where the shadow from the fountain falls — it will point to the merchant's shop on the left.
Enter the shop, go behind the counter, and turn right behind the stone staircase.
Open the door, go down, and immediately turn left. You will see a door that needs to be unlocked.
Search the Stash and Find the Thieves' Symbols
Entering the stash, find the chest to the left of the wall. Inside, you will discover a parchment with drawings — read it immediately.
Let Štulc Copy the Symbols
Return to the tavern "The Hole." Tell Štulc that you have unraveled the mystery of the symbols and allow him to copy them. As a reward, he will give you a small amount of money.
I Must Return to Čenek to Let Him Copy the Symbols
Approach Čenek and tell him how you unraveled the mystery of the symbols. He will ask about Borov — you can show leniency and not report that he killed Hynek. Čenek will thank you for your work, give you a small amount of money, and add that a new task will soon be available for you.
Alternative Quest Walkthrough
You can find the parchment with drawings in the merchant's basement by the fountain either before or after starting the quest.
