After the eventful The Jaunt side quest, you’re tasked with hunting down the remnants of Gules bandit gang. Your first target is Canker and his men, which is incidentally also the name of the task. You’re given a fairly large area in the forest to the north of Nebakob Mill, which can make tracking down the man a little tricky. In this guide, we’ll walk you through where to find Canker and get his mace.

Where to find Canker in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To find Canker, start from the Nebakov Mill in the south of the Trosky region. Take the main road heading north (not to be confused with the smaller trail that starts near Huntsman Varel’s home), and press on north until you come to a bend in the road that leads up the hill through the rocks. Instead of following the road, note the stream on your right and follow it north through the ravine to the spot marked on the map above.

Press on until you spot an enemy camp on the left sheltered by a rocky cliff above. The camp houses four men, so you’ll want to take a cautious approach, possibly even waiting for nightfall to take them out with stealthy takedowns, or using a bow or crossbow to thin their numbers before moping up with a sword or other melee weapon.

Canker is wearing a black monk’s rob and a kettle hat helmet. He wields, unsurprisingly given the task’s objective, a mace. He’s also the only named enemy here so he shouldn’t be hard to spot. Note that the mace you want is not the one you can loot from his body, but the one that he drops on the ground when he’s killed. Make sure to pick it up next to his corpse.

Make your way back to Gules at the entrance to the Semine estate and hand over Canker’s Mace to wrap up the Canker task in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
