Follow this guide to complete the 'Money for Old Rope' side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Learn how to sabotage the executioner's gear and ensure the job is done right.

Alright, let's get this 'Money for Old Rope' quest sorted out. It's a bit of a sneaky one, involving some sabotage. We need to mess with the executioner's gear before the big day.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Dulling the Executioner’s Sword: Head to the small tent on the left. Inside, you'll find a chest. You'll need to pick its lock. Grab the executioner's sword from the chest.
  2. 2
    Blunt the Sword: Take the sword to a grindstone. You'll need to complete the grindstone minigame. Henry will actually say something to let you know it's blunt enough once you're done with the minigame.
  3. 3
    Poisoning the Flesh-Ripping Tongues: Next up are the tongues. You'll find them at the back of a cart in the camp. Approach these carefully – you don't want to be seen. Sabotage them with poison. After you've poisoned them, hang back for a bit to avoid anyone noticing the disturbance.
  4. 4
    Switching the Executioner’s Rope: The rope is in the large shed in the center of the camp. As soon as you enter the shed, look for a ladder on the right. Climb it, and you'll find the rope in a corner, near a lantern.
  5. 5
    Report and Wait: Once all the items are sabotaged, head back to executioner Hermann. Tell him everything's ready. He'll give you the green light for the execution.
  6. 6
    Witness the Execution: Now, go to the marker on your map and wait until 2 PM the next day. It's a bit of a wait, but you need to be there for the execution to start.
  7. 7
    Quest Completion: After the execution is done, go back to Hermann one last time to officially complete the quest.
Tips
  • Make sure you're sneaky when poisoning the tongues; getting caught will cause problems.
  • Double-check that Henry comments on the sword being blunt after you use the grindstone.
  • Be patient while waiting for the execution – it's a key part of finishing the quest.
