BBG News

In the sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the storyline of thrilling exploration and intrigue from the original game carries on. Characters delve into the lands of Bohemia, portraying Henry – the blacksmith’s son who serves as a nobleman’s page.

In the primary narrative of the game, there’s a focus on the nation’s political conflicts. However, players can also engage in less serious subplots for rewards. One such side quest in Kuttenberg is called “Ill Repute,” where Henry assists in setting up a new bathhouse within the busy town. Here’s a simplified guide to assist players of KCD2 in completing the Ill Repute side quest.

How to Complete Ill Repute in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To initiate Ill Repute, players must first accomplish the side mission titled “Spreading the Good Word,” during which they aid Betty in promoting her recently opened bathhouse. A few days later, they may revisit her to inquire about its progress.

Betty informs Henry that the city council plans to impose a new tax on nearly all bathhouses within the city, but exempts the Municipal Bathhouse from this tax. This decision will be made official in a few days. Adam, who owns a rival bathhouse, is close friends with one of the councillors, causing Betty concern. However, she believes they can win over Councillor Naaz by secretly undermining him to secure support for their own bathhouse.

Here enters Henry. Betty instructs him to visit Adam’s Bathhouse and inquire from the attendants there, specifically the women, about Naaz. The aim is for him to find an effective method of damaging Adam’s standing with the council by revealing some unfavorable information about him.

Ask the Bathhouse Wenches About Councillor Naaz

To gather useful intel against Naaz, players should make a trip to the bathhouse in Kuttenberg run by Adam. Once there, they need to converse with these three specific women working at the bathhouse.

  • Meaty Mary
  • Katchka
  • Little Lida

Put on clothes with high Charisma stats to talk to the bathhouse wenches.

Talk to Meaty Mary

1. “I’ll have to convince Meaty Mary with my words, or else I’ll need to pay her.”
2. “Either I manage to persuade Meaty Mary, or I will end up having to give her something in return for the information.”
3. “I must either talk my way around it, or I have to shell out some cash to get the details from Meaty Mary.”
4. “If I can’t win over Meaty Mary with my words, then I’ll have to pay for the information.”
5. “Unless I can successfully communicate with Meaty Mary, I’ll need to fork over some money for the info.”
6. “I need to either talk my way through it or hand over some cash to get the details from Meaty Mary.”

  • VERY HARD “So you don’t know.” – Speech
  • HARD “You can tell me.” – Impression

Mary plans to inform Henry that Naaz has a unique bottle of wine stored somewhere upstairs. In addition, she subtly reveals that Henry may have an allergy or sensitivity towards herbs, with chamomile being one of them.

Talk to Katchka

In a more conversational manner, we could say: To share the news about Naaz with Henry, Katchka may require some persuasion first. You can motivate her by offering payment for the conversation, using the following dialogue choices as your guide:

  • HARD “Councillor naaz sent me.” – Impression
  • HARD “Don’t make me angry!” – Domination

In a more casual and straightforward manner: “Option A seems friendlier, but both will work fine.” As for Katcha informing Henry about Naaz, he shared that once Naaz had an unpleasant bath incident involving fleas in the tub. If it ever happened again, Katcha implied that Naaz might consider switching to Adam’s bathhouse instead.

Talk to Little Lida

Lila, who’s quite young, would be happy to chat with Henry, but only if he purchases for her a particular dress – a “Noblewoman’s Cotchardie”. He could acquire one of these dresses from the tailors located in Kuttenberg.

Lida shares with Henry that there’s an aromatic oil Naaz cherishes. Adam guards it carefully, locking it up in his private space due to its high value.

Find Something Infested With Fleas

Henry could gather details about fleas by conversing with street dwellers, although some might take offense at his query. As luck would have it, players will eventually come across an informant who’ll share the required information for a fee. A settlement in Kuttenberg is known to be home to such rags with flea infestations.

Pour Fleas into Councillor Naaz’s Clean Laundry

Visitors can discover Naaz’s bathtub located on the upper level of Adam’s spa, which is adorned with attractive embroidered drapes. For Henry to get rid of the infested fabric, he needs to have it in his possession and use it to toss the fleas into Naaz’s laundry pile.

In my cozy little corner by the bathtub, I’ve neatly stacked my freshly washed clothes. Just remember to ensure no staff members from the bathhouse are around when I discretely scatter the flea treatment.

Pour Chamomile Brew into The Councillor’s Wine

For the upcoming process, participants are advised to obtain Chamomile Tea. They may either buy it from the alchemist or concoct it at an Alchemy Station.

Henry will be picking locks, so go ahead and get Quickfinger potions as well to make it easier.

The Councilor’s wine can be found upstairs in Adam’s Bathhouse, beyond the locked door at the peak of the staircase on the left side. The lock isn’t difficult to open, but the bathhouse is frequently bustling with people moving up and down the stairs due to workers. Moreover, it’s common for Adam to enter through that locked door during the day.

At nightfall, players could either stealthily enter a room or wait until an opportune moment to unlock the door without being spotted. Since the lock is simple, it won’t require much effort if the players possess strong lock-picking abilities. Inside the room, there are additional stairs in the middle as well as multiple closed doors. Proceed through the first door on your right.

Naaz’s wine is inside the cask, propped up on a stand. Go up to it and pour in the chamomile brew.

Steal the Councillor’s Fragrant Oil

Inside Adam’s room, you’ll find the councillor’s perfume. Now, head back to another room and ascend the staircase that leads to the attic.

Adam will walk into the area periodically, so be careful not to get caught trespassing.

Go inside the door directly behind the steps. Players will have to lockpick another easy lock.

Afterward, proceed to the adjacent office through the door in the current room. Towards the rear of the space, there’s a tall cabinet that stands, sporting an effortlessly accessible lock. Inside this cabinet, Henry will discover the aromatic oil.

After setting everything up for a surprise, Henry will quietly exit the bathhouse, make his way to Betty, and inform her that the task has been completed successfully.

Return to Betty

With Councillor Naaz out of the picture, Betty confides in Henry that he might be able to assist her in gaining Councillor Tuchmacher’s backing as well. It’s been whispered that he’s in some sort of trouble with a noble and could use help.

Gain Councillor Tuchmacher’s Support

During business hours, Henry can locate Councillor Tuchmacher at his store. He wants to discuss some issues without referring to Betty. If Tuchmacher inquires about the reason for Henry’s interest, he could say, “There’s money involved.” Later on, Tuchmacher might disclose that he has been issued a challenge for a duel and needs someone to stand in for him in the fight.

In this duel, Henry faces unique constraints as he is limited to using a Hunting Sword, Mace, or Flail as his weapons, while forgoing the protection of plate armor. Conversely, his adversary operates under no such restrictions.

Contestants should don the maximum amount of armor that doesn’t violate the rules of the duel. Once prepared, converse with Tuchmacher and follow him to the dueling site.

Win the Duel for Tuchmacher

To secure Tuchmacher’s backing, Henry needs to emerge victorious from the duel. Alternatively, he could make an extremely challenging attempt at convincing him, aiming to level the odds.

To come out victorious in the fight, it’s most effective to dodge all blows and maintain a defensive stance during your opponent’s attacks. Once you’ve won the skirmish, make sure to converse with Tuchmacher to progress through that stage. Later on, Henry can share this positive update with Betty.

Wait a Few Days for the Council to Meet

Henry and Betty need to be patient until the meeting of the council takes place, at which point we’ll learn the outcomes. The players will receive a new journal note when sufficient time has elapsed, instructing them to revisit Betty.

1) Betty’s going to inform Henry that it succeeded, and you might find out that the Kingfisher has been transformed into the Public Swimming Pool in Kuttenberg. As a token of appreciation, Henry will receive complimentary bathhouse services.
