In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the side quest, The Fifth Commandment tasks players with investigating a series of murders in Kuttenberg. A critical step involves examining young von Grolle’s room to uncover vital evidence. This guide provides a concise walkthrough to help you navigate this segment of the quest efficiently.
How to Access Young Von Grolle’s House
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, during The Fifth Commandment side quest, accessing the von Grolle residence in Kuttenberg is crucial for your investigation. Here’s how to proceed:
- Posing as a Swordfighting Instructor: Approach Servant Thaddeus at the estate’s entrance. Claim you’re there to train young von Grolle in swordsmanship. If you’ve completed the “Ars Dimicatoria” side quest, this option will automatically succeed. Otherwise, you’ll need to pass a speech check.
- Pretending to Be a Healer: Inform Thaddeus that you’re a healer summoned for the ailing elder von Grolle. This approach requires passing a speech check to convince him of your medical expertise.
Successfully employing either method will grant you access to the von Grolle household, allowing you to further your investigation into the murders.
Note: Ensure your speech skills are adequately developed to increase the likelihood of passing the necessary checks.
Investigating the Young Von Grolle’s Room
Investigating young von Grolle’s room is crucial. Here’s how to proceed:
- Locate the Room: After entering the von Grolle residence, proceed to the second floor. The room directly ahead belongs to young von Grolle.
- Search for Evidence: Inside the room, there’s a locked chest beside the bed. Picking its lock reveals an item labeled “Trophies from victims,” crucial evidence linking young von Grolle to the murders.
Key Alternative: If lockpicking is challenging, a key can be found next to the washtub and bloody clothes in the room, providing access to the chest.
Reporting Findings to Lumir and Katherine
After gathering the evidence, return to Lumir and Katherine to devise a plan for catching Hendl.
Following a cutscene, it is revealed that the true culprits behind the murders are Hendl’s mother, Mandelina von Grolle, and Servant Thaddeus. You must engage in combat with Thaddeus while Lumir and Katherine handle Mandelina. If Thaddeus disappears, he may have bugged out and can be found outside—he will be marked as an objective.
After the fight, speak with Katherine downstairs to interrogate Mandelina. You can choose to deal with her immediately or hand her over to the bailiff. Finally, return to Lumir to discuss the events, completing The Fifth Commandment quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Impact on the Quest’s Outcome
Justice Served: Successfully exposing and confronting the murderer will lead to the resolution of the quest, earning you rewards such as the Kuttenberg Knight Shield and 150 Groschen.
Alternative Outcomes: Failure to gather sufficient evidence or mishandling the confrontation may result in the perpetrator escaping justice.
By meticulously analyzing the evidence and collaborating with Lumir and Katherine, you can ensure the true murderer is brought to justice, restoring peace to Kuttenberg.
