Detailed walkthrough for the 'The Italian Job' quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Learn how to navigate the Italian Court, secure the West Gate, and achieve the 'True Cardinal' Trophy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Assume the Role of Cardinal Godwin: The quest begins with you controlling Godwin. Your primary objective is to maintain the ruse without suspicion to earn the True Cardinal Trophy/Achievement. You can interact with street vendors, but only the St. Barbara figurine is noted as potentially useful for later deliberations.
  2. 2
    Approach the Italian Court: Proceed to the court entrance where you'll meet Jerome Naaz. Respond with (Bow) and then (Evade) to avoid suspicion.
  3. 3
    Follow Jerome Naaz: Walk alongside Jerome through the courtyard, avoiding Quick Reply options. You will meet Guard Commander Giuseppe Cabrini. Respond carefully with: Cordial greeting in Italian, Why did you stay here?, How many guards are under your command?, How is life here?, (Say goodbye and move on), and finally Come (Enter the Council).
  4. 4
    Discuss the Church Dispute: This is a critical phase for the True Cardinal Trophy. Choose Continue formally, then The Pope has not reached a decision. Before speaking to anyone, drink wine from the keg to the left to ensure Godwin remains drunk and fluent.
  5. 5
    Speak to Father Anthony (brown attire): Answer “What are the Brotherhood’s demands?”, “I understand”, then select (Leave).
  6. 6
    Speak to Albich of Uniczow (green attire): Answer “Remind me”, choose (Keep Quiet), then select “What do you think about the dispute?”, and end with (Leave).
  7. 7
    Speak to Abbot Jan III (white attire): Answer “What are the monastery’s demands?”, then “I understand”, and choose (Leave).
  8. 8
    Concluding the Council: After listening to all parties, you can choose to help Henry (optional) or proceed to speak with Janosh Usher at the head of the table. Use the following choices: (Start closing speech), Albich is right. (Support Sedletz), and (Calm down). Successfully completing these steps should award the True Cardinal Trophy/Achievement.
  9. 9
    Regain Control of Henry: You'll be back in control of Henry in a tavern. Choose to review tasks and reply with 'got it'.
  10. 10
    Secure the West Gate: Your objective is to neutralize the guards at the west gate. You can either knock them out or kill them. Head out the back to the northwest, find a ladder, and climb up. Deal with the two patrolling guards in the upper area by waiting for them to separate and then taking them down stealthily.
Tips
  • To obtain the True Cardinal Trophy/Achievement, focus on the dialogue choices as Godwin. Reloading an autosave is recommended if you make a mistake.
  • Purchasing the St. Barbara figurine is optional; there are alternative ways to resolve the church dispute.
  • Drinking wine from the keg is crucial for Godwin's fluency during the council meeting.
  • The number of guards at the West Gate may vary depending on whether you completed optional objectives during the council.
  • True Cardinal Trophy/Achievement (if all steps are followed correctly).
