Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: In Vino Veritas Side Quest Walkthrough Guide

BBG News

In one of the additional missions within Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ll be tasked with discovering a secret recipe for a thriving vineyard hidden within Kuttenburg City. This article will walk you through the steps to uncover that secret formula in the In Vino Veritas side quest.

How to Start the In Vino Veritas Side Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Once you’ve had the freedom to roam around the Kuttenberg region and arrive at Kuttenburg City, you’ll stumble upon a character selling wine, situated to the north of a water fountain. This character is Casper Rudolf, a vineyard owner and wine merchant who’s struggling with business. Engage in conversation with him and offer your assistance to kick off the In Vino Veritas side quest.

Casper requests you to engage in a conversation with his rival, Havel, about uncovering the secret behind his famous recipe. You have two options: directly approach innkeeper Havel for a chat, or first delve into Casper’s book on wine-making expertise before attempting to impress him with your newfound knowledge.

How to Get the Book from Adleta in the In Vino Veritas Side Quest (Optional)

To obtain the book, you must travel to Adleta’s location. However, reaching her proves challenging as there are two main obstacles: either you need to persuade Hugo, her brother, during a conversation, ensuring you pass his speech test, so he allows you entry into the garden, or you must scale the guard tower and descend on the opposite side of the garden to approach Adleta stealthily.

After chatting with Adleta, she might be reluctant to hand over the book, and it may require some persuasion on your part to get it from her. If you succeed in your Persuasion check, she’ll immediately give you the book. However, if your attempt at persuasion falls short, there’s an option for you to become friends with Adleta. To do so, you’ll need to find something that matches her dress as a gesture of friendship.

In my gaming world, I’d venture into the garden and pluck 5 vibrant Marigolds as a thoughtful token for her. In return, she’d pass on to me the ancient tome of Sir Bushek’s Vintner Wisdom. Before embarking on my journey to Havel, I’d ensure I delve into its pages first, seeking the knowledge it holds.

How to Make an Impression on Havel in the In Vino Veritas Side Quest

Head towards the north of the city, specifically to the Emperor Charles Tavern. There, you’ll come across Havel. Engage in a conversation with him and take a seat beside him. In this interaction, he may pose some questions to you, which could impact your standing with him.

As a fan, I’d recommend dressing elegantly to enhance your charm, making Havel willing to engage with you. If you appear disheveled, stained with blood, or resemble a commoner, Havel may choose to ignore you entirely.

When you sit down with him, make sure you reply with the following answers:

  • Germany
  • Steinberger
  • It’s missing ginger

The following approach is the most likely method to elicit any information about the secret from him:

1. Approach him with a friendly demeanor, maintaining an open and non-threatening body language.
2. Begin the conversation by expressing your interest in learning more about the secret, without pressing or prying. For example, you could say, “I’ve noticed that you seem to know something interesting, and I’m curious to learn more if you’re willing to share.”
3. Allow him to feel comfortable sharing the information by being empathetic, patient, and understanding. Avoid any judgmental or dismissive language, as this may discourage him from opening up.
4. If he still seems hesitant, try using indirect questions or hints related to the secret, while maintaining a casual and non-confrontational tone. For instance, you could ask, “I’ve been thinking about something lately that reminded me of a conversation we had once – do you remember what we talked about?”
5. If he still refuses to share, respect his decision and maintain the friendship. Remember, it’s essential not to force information out of someone, as this may damage your relationship with them.
6. Lastly, be patient and persistent, but never pushy or aggressive. Keep the lines of communication open, and who knows – he might eventually decide to share the secret with you.

After gathering all the necessary details, make your way back to Casper and share everything with him. You may choose to give him the book obtained from Adleta or decide to keep it hidden.

How to Get Inside the Vineyard in the In Vino Veritas Side Quest

Casper is going to guide you on discovering the mystery of the hidden incense. To do so, it’s necessary to secure entry to the vineyard first. Should you inquire from him about how to gain access to the vineyard, you will be presented with an additional objective: obtain a job at the vineyard.

1) You can either choose to secretly enter the vineyard at night to obtain the hidden incense or decide to apply for a job there, allowing you easy access to all areas. If you opt for the former, remember it’s trespassing, and you risk being caught by guards and evicted.

2) You have two options: stealthily enter the vineyard after dark to snatch the secret incense or apply for a position within the vineyard to gain access to all its areas at your leisure. The first choice involves trespassing, so if you’re discovered by guards, they will report you and make sure you leave the premises.

A great opportunity awaits! Speaking with the recruiter at the vineyard gate could lead to employment, providing you access to various parts of the operation. Fortunately, they’re currently hiring more staff, making this a convenient moment to apply. This interaction will initiate the “Under the Straw Hat” task, which you can tackle immediately or choose to ignore, as it’s not essential for completing the rest of your quest.

Under the Straw Hat Task (Optional)

In this scenario, it’s essential that you take a moment to greet Administrator Jerome, who manages all the activities within the monastery. He will guide you through the premises and explain the processes involved in each task.

You could additionally acquire the keys to the wine cellar from Jerome, a move that may prove beneficial for your upcoming mission.

How to Get the Secret Incense in the In Vino Veritas Side Quest

1. Option A: Following that, it’s required for you to visit the next day to kick off your work at the vineyard. Now, you are granted access to every secluded area within the monastery. You can finish all the chores or choose to ignore them and concentrate on uncovering the secret incense instead.

2. Option B: Afterward, it’s essential for you to return the following day to commence your duties at the vineyard. Now, you have permission to explore all hidden corners in the monastery. You may accomplish every job or decide to skip them and focus on discovering the secret incense instead.

Both options are grammatically correct and easy to understand. The first option uses a more formal tone, while the second one is slightly more conversational. The choice between these two will depend on the tone you want to convey in your writing or speech.

To discover the mysterious incense, make your way to the inner wine cellar located within the Central Building. Upon entering through the main door, veer left and continue straight on your path. This route should eventually guide you to the wine cellar, but remember to tread carefully since venturing there might be seen as trespassing and could lead to trouble if discovered.

In the cellar, bypass the locked door with the keys you’d obtained from Administrator Jerome (assuming you’ve robbed him), as opposed to picking the lock and entering through stealth. Then, proceed to open the chest for your looting purposes using those very keys.

Inside that chest, you’ll find what you’re seeking – these are called Sulfur Wicks, a discreet form of incense. Gather as many of them as possible, then make your way out of the cellar swiftly.

Get Seedlings for Casper (Optional)

An additional goal could be to secure five Grapevine Cuttings for Casper before your departure. To locate these cuttings, proceed to the Central Building and move forward. Open the door to access the location where you will find the cuttings. Remember, this area is off-limits, so tread carefully around the guards when entering it.

To locate six young Wine Vines rooted in the soil, move towards that direction. Select four or five of them and make your way back unnoticed.

After obtaining the secret to the wine, return it to Casper and hand it over to him. He’ll remunerate you with 150 Groschens and a copy of the “Tavern IV” book. But if you additionally provide him with the wine seedlings, he’ll reward you with 425 Groschens instead.

Here’s another way of saying it: That concludes our guide on finishing the In Vino Veritas side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For those who are new to the game, here are some top early-game items you can locate for an excellent start to your adventure.
