Follow this Kingdom Come: Deliverance guide to complete 'The Prey' quest. Learn how to hunt hares, win a contest against Lord Capon, and rescue him from Cumans.
Walkthrough
- 1After completing your first patrol, sleep until dawn at the refugee camp or Rattay Mill.
- 2Meet Lord Capon in the courtyard of the Upper Castle. Eat from a cooking pot before departing.
- 3Follow Lord Capon north east out of Rattay. Keep pace to hear his dialogue.
- 4You will be fast travelled to the hunting grounds. Fetch wine and bacon from Lord Capon's saddlebag.
- 5Speak to Lord Capon and exhaust all dialogue options. It will be approaching night.
- 6Sleep in one of the camp beds until dawn. If unable to sleep until dawn, wait a few hours.
- 7In the morning, Sir Capon will propose a hare hunting contest. If you don't have a bow and arrows, take them from the chest in the camp, along with dried foodstuffs.
- 8Check your equipment for items that cause unnecessary noise. Consider using light armour with low noise ratings. If still having trouble, remove everything except the bow and arrows.
- 9Head into the woods and search for hares. Avoid hunting other animals to avoid being weighed down. Seek open areas with fewer shrubs.
- 10When you find a hare, shoot from afar. Aim higher than the target and slightly to the right.
- 11Loot the body of each hare to prove your kill and retrieve arrows.
- 12Continue hunting hares until noon, when the quest objective updates. Return to the camp and wait for Lord Capon. You can use the time dial to speed up the wait.
- 13If you collected more hares than Lord Capon, you will be rewarded with Groschen, the amount being proportionate to the meat gathered.
- 14If you are weighed down by meat, put excess hare meat in the camp chest.
- 15Follow Lord Capon to the boar hunting grounds.
- 16Watch as Lord Capon fails to kill a boar. Chase after him on horseback.
- 17You will fail to hunt the boar. Find Lord Capon in the forest by following the map marker.
- 18Equip any heavy armour and weapons you have.
- 19Locate Lord Capon at the camp within the highlighted region on the map. He has been captured by Cumans and tied to a tree.
- 20Assault the camp to rescue him. You can charge in, use your bow from shrubbery, or attempt stealth kills.
- 21Once the Cumans are dealt with, untie Lord Capon and speak to him.
- 22Return to Rattay. You will be summoned to see Sir Hanush and Sir Radzig for a promotion.
- 23Captain Bernard will arrive with news of an attack at Neuhof.
