Oratores Quest Walkthrough

Start in Suchdol: After the events in Maleshov, loot any bodies you find and then make your way to Suchdol. Speak with Zizka. If you've just come from Maleshov, you'll need to rest for a night to trigger a scene, then speak to Zizka the next morning. This will start a meeting with von Bergow. Your dialogue choices here won't change the outcome, but you'll learn that Sigismund is short on funds. Henry will then be tasked with returning to Ruthard Palace with Rosa.

Escort Lady Rosa: Find Rosa and let her know you're ready. You'll fast travel back to Kuttenberg. If you're aiming for the romance scene, choose dialogue options like “Don’t worry, I’ll be with you.” You'll follow her through some tunnels. When you reach a flooded section, Rosa will ask for your help. Choose “So what?” and then “Alright, I’ll carry you.” Pick her up like an item and carry her through the water. Once you're across, put her down and continue following her to Ruthard Palace.

Clear Ruthard Palace: Upon arrival, you'll find beggars and bandits have taken over. Rosa will hide in her room and ask Henry to deal with them. The enemies here are lightly equipped and shouldn't be too much trouble if your gear is decent. You can try luring them downstairs to fight them one by one if you're struggling, but it's likely unnecessary. A few hits should take down each enemy. After defeating the last one, use Quick Reply to speak with Rosa. She'll inform you there are more inside, with one trying to break into her room. Head upstairs and clear out the remaining soldiers to let Rosa know it's safe.

Rosa’s Romance Scene (Optional): To trigger this, you must have completed the missable Rosa’s Book Task in the 'Taking French Leave' quest, chosen not to torch her tower in 'Dancing with the Devil', and consistently made favorable choices with her. If you meet these conditions, go to the courtyard, wash up, and then head to Rosa's room. Choose the following dialogue options: “It’ll all be alright”, “Allies are our most valuable asset”, “I won’t let you go away!”, and finally, “Kiss Rosa”. Henry will then spend the night with her. If you don't trigger the romance, you'll spend the night alone. The next morning, speak with Zizka to get your next objective.

Seek Vavak's Help: Head northwest from Ruthard Palace to Vavak’s house. It's recommended to use the back entrance (Easy lock) instead of the front (Very Hard lock). Go upstairs and you'll find Christian of Pisek instead of Vavak. Your interaction with Christian depends on your choices in the 'Via Argentum' quest. If you were favorable to him and helped him take over Vavak’s operation, he'll assist you but won't cover for you if things go wrong. The dialogue choices that should work are: “I’m the one a...
