Your guide to Kingdom Come: Deliverance's 'Awakening' quest. Learn how to speak with Theresa, meet Sir Radzig, and prepare for your next steps in Rattay.
Alright, so you've woken up after that rough nightmare sequence. You're at Rattay Mill, which is owned by Peshek, Theresa's uncle. Your first order of business is to chat with Theresa. You can ask her a bunch of questions about what went down at Skalitz, and you get to do this every time you wake up after resting. Just keep talking to her until you've gone through all the dialogue options. This is your chance to really get the full story of what happened to you and everyone else.
Once you've wrung Theresa dry of information, you're free to get up. You'll notice you now have the main quest 'Vengeance' with objectives to 'Get father’s sword back' and 'Find Markvart von Aulitz and avenge your parents'. Heads up, though – these can't be completed just yet, as they tie into later content. For now, your main focus should be on the 'Awakening' quest. You need to head over to Pirkstein, which is the Lower Castle in Rattay, and see Sir Radzig.
Before you head out, don't forget to grab your gear from the chest by the bed. If you've got some Groschen to spare, a trip to the bathhouse south of the mill is a good idea for a clean start. If you're a bit short on cash, no worries – there's a trough just outside the mill where you can wash up for free.
Now, time to head to Pirkstein castle. When you enter Rattay through the lower gate, a guard will stop you. He'll ask what business you have in town. The best way to get past him is to use Speech and tell him you have news about Sir Radzig's sword. Trying to intimidate him or claiming to be Sir Radzig's blacksmith won't work, and you'll want to save your Groschen for when it's really needed.
After you've dealt with the guard at the lower gate, make your way towards Pirkstein. You'll need to speak to the guards at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the castle. Then, climb to the top floor. Sir Radzig is waiting for you in the room at the very end of the corridor. This is where you'll wrap up the 'Awakening' quest and meet some key characters like Sir Hans Capon, Sir Hanush, Captain Bernard, and the local priest.
- While you're in Rattay, it's a great time to pick up side quests, like 'The Good Thief,' to pay off your debt to Peshek. Doing these side quests will help you level up your skills, making the tougher main quests down the line a lot easier.
- Don't forget to collect your equipment from the chest by the bed before leaving Rattay Mill.
- If you're low on funds, use the free trough outside the mill to wash instead of paying for the bathhouse.
