Upon visiting the cattle pen to the west of Old Kutna in the Kuttenberg Region, you’ll stumble across a gruesome scene: bloodied cow carcasses littering the ground and a fierce argument between Father Marian and Vladimir. Talk to the priest and you’ll learn that the villagers are convinced demons or other hellish beasts are responsible for the massacre.

The belief is so embedded in the villagers’ lives that they regularly bring offerings to a mine west of the Old Kutna to placate the malevolent creature. Father Marian drafts Henry in to get to the bottom of the matter and uncover the truth behind the stories. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to complete The Mouth of Hell side quest walkthrough.

Prepare an offering for hell in the mine

To start, travel west from Old Kutna to the mine, which is conveniently marked on the map as seen in the image above. When you arrive, use the ladder to descend into the mine shaft, triggering a short cut scene with Henry weathering a diabolical stink and lowering food into the pit. A misstep later and you’ll find yourself dragged by a mysterious figure wearing a knight’s helmet into the mine.

Get your items back and leave the mine

As soon as you wake up, head forward, then take a left (you can go right to find the Knight’s Notes III document and a pair of Weak Saviour Schnapps potions) in the direction where the Knight is seen running. Continue forward until you come to a chamber with a torch and two diverging paths. You’ll hear the Knight yell in latin. Grab the torch on the barrel, then take the left path and continue on until the chamber with the altar with candles. On the table on the left is the Knight’s Notes II document and a sword.

Grab the lockpicks in the basket on the right of the chamber near the bed and use it to open the red chest on the altar to get the Knight’s Contract and 276 groschen. Make sure to open up your inventory and read the contract. Turns out the Knight has been guarding the place against demons and has been waiting for someone to replace him.

Go towards the ladder and you’ll see the Knight at the top. Climb the ladders up. Follow the corridor until you come to a crossroads. The Knight will appear from the left. Ask him about himself, then choose the ‘say the words from the knight’s contract’ option. After that, select ‘yes, I’ll take over your task’.

Henry and the Knight will make their way to the surface to meet the priest and the villagers. Here, you choose to play out the quest as you see fit: attack the villagers with Taras, blame the knight for the cow massacre, or pull out the contract. The best outcome is to show the contract then select ‘everyone made mistakes, but no one meant any harm’ during the skill check.

Henry will play mediator and calm everyone down, convincing the priest that Taras’ actions were understandable. The Knight won’t be as acquiescent and will request a formal apology, which the priest will happily provide, relieving him of his services and giving him supplies for the road.

This will wrap up the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 The Mouth of Hell side quest, earning you a cool 475 groschen. While you’re in the area, it’s worth investigating the X Marks the Spot map location, which isn’t too far away.
