The intricate historical world of Kingdom Come Deliverance challenges players with realistic investigations, none more engaging than the tracking down of counterfeit coins threatening the Bohemian economy. In the main quest line, Henry must exercise sharp detective skills to uncover the origin of fake Groschen circulating throughout the region. Navigating this multi-staged mission successfully requires a balance of diplomatic interrogation, environmental observation, and tactical preparation.
Tracking the Fake Coins to Sasau
Your investigation begins by following the physical evidence of the counterfeit silver currency into the sprawling town of Sasau. Players need to speak with local merchants, craftsmen, and the resident tavern keeper to gather initial whispers regarding who might be spending the unusual coins. Paying close attention to dialogue choices allows Henry to pinpoint key suspects without raising unnecessary alarms among the criminal underworld.
As you gather descriptions of the individuals involved, your search will eventually lead toward a mysterious knight from Germany who appears to have a shared interest in the operation. Meeting this warrior changes the dynamic of your mission, forcing you to choose between cooperation and competition. Successfully managing this initial meeting ensures you keep the trail warm while moving closer to the operational core.
Investigating the Sasau Workshop Networks
The core of the counterfeit operation relies heavily on skilled labor, which points Henry directly toward the local blacksmiths and monastery workers. Players must systematically visit the engraving workshops and ask precise questions about unusual requests for copper and mercury. Uncovering the specific workshop involved requires checking the inventory rooms and looking for unauthorized tools hidden from public view.
During this phase, players will encounter individuals like Menhart and various workshop assistants who hold critical pieces of the puzzle. Choosing to help these local artisans with their personal dilemmas often yields better information than relying purely on aggressive threats. Once you identify the specific forge where the fake dies are being produced, the location of the main workshop becomes much clearer.
Confronting the Mastermind in the Skalitz Mines
The final phase of the investigation takes Henry deep into the dangerous hill country surrounding the ruins of Skalitz, where the primary coin press is operational. Navigating these subterranean tunnels requires proper lighting and readiness for immediate combat against heavily armed interlopers. The structural layout of the old mines means players can easily become disoriented if they do not follow the main paths carefully.
Reaching the deepest chamber brings Henry face-to-face with the master mind responsible for the widespread economic sabotage. This final encounter offers multiple resolutions, ranging from a brutal duel to a peaceful arrest through high speech statistics. Securing the counterfeit dies and capturing the leader alive yields the maximum rewards and provides a highly satisfying conclusion to this complex storyline.
