The Fifth Commandment Quest Walkthrough

Your step-by-step guide to completing The Fifth Commandment side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Unravel the mystery of the murders with Henry.

Alright, let's tackle 'The Fifth Commandment' side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. This one's a bit grim, involving a murder investigation, so buckle up. You'll get this quest from Katherine at the inn after finishing 'Into the Underworld'. She's worried because one of her informants, Alice, has been brutally murdered, and she suspects someone is targeting her contacts. She'll ask you, Henry, to look into it. ## Start the Investigation Your first stop is the church in the north end of Kuttenberg. You need to talk to the gravedigger, Frantishek, and examine Alice's body. Frantishek, with a bit of smooth talking (an easy speech or medium charisma check should do it), will tell you that Alice isn't the first woman to be killed like this, and sadly, probably won't be the last. He'll also mention a guy named Lumir who's been looking into similar cases. He can point you towards the crime scene, which was near the Hole, and mention that Alice had a friend named Barbora who's mourning her. The body itself is in the morgue nearby. Once you've spoken to Frantishek, Barbora should show up. Take a look at Alice's body. It's rough: she was torn open, likely by a sword, with her breasts cut off. Her hair was hacked, and she was strangled, though her face wasn't too badly injured. Barbora can tell you that she and Alice worked together at the same house. Alice had a wealthy suitor she wouldn't name, and Barbora also mentions that Lumir seems to be a bit of a drunk. Lumir should be around too. Quick tip: if you talk to him directly, you might be able to skip examining the crime scene yourself. If you do want to check it out, go ahead, but honestly, there isn't much to find. Lumir's too hungover to be helpful right now. You'll need to sober him up, either by giving him more booze or using a 'Hair o' the Dog' potion. If you have one, great! If not, you can grab one from an apothecary or even brew one yourself if you have the ingredients. Once Lumir's had a drink, you'll need to pass a pretty tough check to get him to spill the beans – it's a hard presence, very hard speech, or hard scholarship check. If you manage it, he'll reveal that all the victims were brunettes and killed in the same brutal way as Alice. He also thinks there are two other missing girls who might have been victims, but their bodies haven't been found yet. Make sure you exhaust Lumir's dialogue options. He'll give you the rundown on the victims and where to continue your investigation. Since the first two victims don't have anyone left who can help, you'll focus on the remaining three: Stanya, Zdena, and Jarka. ## Investigate the Previous Victims Let's start with Jarka, as her lead is the closest. You can find Father Prokop at the graveyard church during the day. Jarka worked for the von Grolle family. After a bit of convincing (a hard speech and easy intimidation check), he'll reveal she was pregnant. Father Prokop suspects a man named William got her pregnant and then killed her. A hard scholarship or very hard domination check will reveal that Father Prokop really dislikes Lumir, mostly because Lumir accused him of the murder. Now for the other two leads, both starting from the Hole. First, talk to the innkeeper, Mole, about Stanya. He'll give you some basic info for 10 Prague Groschen. He'll say Stanya's room was ransacked, and the only clue was bloody footprints. After that, Mole will want more money – either pay him 50 Prague Groschen or try to pass an easy speech check to get the info for free. Turns out, Stanya was also friendly with that bard, William, and a charcoal burner named Barton. While you're at the Hole, find Strnad and ask him about Zdena. To get information from him, you can either fight him or pass a hard charisma check, then pay 30 Prague Groschen. He'll mistake you for a lord she robbed, but either way, he'll tell you she had some unfinished business with a man named Pint at Rabstein Mill. He'll also mention that Father Prokop visited her once and that she was...
