One of the significant factors that bring to light the beauty of KCD2 is the elaborate quest system that forces players to solve puzzles and strategize. Among those quests in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is “Dancing With The Devil”, which is quite noted for its complexity and its narrative. This guide is created so that players will learn everything they need to know about navigating this interesting quest.

How to Start the Quest

To get into the “Dancing with the Devil” quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you should fast-travel to Devil’s Den. There, Henry will sit in on a strategy session in which Zizka will explain the objectives of this operation. Zizka lays out the scheme to breach Maleshov to face Lord Otto von Bergow. He will later point out an explosive, which he calls the “Finger of God,” meant for breaking down fortress walls.

The Dry Devil’s Choice

As Henry and the company prepare to infiltrate Maleshov, the Dry Devil proposes a radical alternative. Dry Devil proposes to torch Maleshov village to lure castle soldiers into the ambush and assure an easier assault on Von Bergow’s fortress. This puts players in a moral dilemma that weighs innocent villagers’ lives against their comrades’ safety. The players have to choose whether to follow his ruthless plan or reject it, changing the course of the mission.

If the players have chosen to follow the plan of the Dry Devil, there springs chaos among the village. The villagers set ablaze and drive away the others away, throwing the enemy forces into chaos. Fighting now becomes easier as the soldiers are taken unawares due to the confusion. Henry has chances to help villagers while they run, thus complicating the morality of the decision. After the elimination of the first waves of soldiers, Henry and his friends regroup behind cover to ambush the next wave that follows.

Should Henry deny the Dry Devil’s proposal, there will eventually be a fierce fight between him and the Dry Devil. When he wins, he convinces the group to stealthily enter Maleshov, saving innocent lives in the process. However, this route demands more preparation and skill, especially in stealth tactics. Payers would have to play in those areas that are under heavy guard without unnecessary bloodshed. Thus, though morally upright, the mission is made more difficult and needs careful execution without detection.

The Confrontation with Lord Von Bergow

Once inside Maleshov, players have to battle hard against swarms of enemy soldiers. Then finally, the last phase of the raid involves unleashing the Finger of God to bring down the fortress’s main tower. Once that happens, Henry and the rest storm the courtyard and defeat any remaining defenders to prepare for Lord Von Bergow.

Walking up the tower, the player will find Lord Von Bergow with Rosa Ruthard captive. The other critical decision the player has to make is whether to negotiate Bergow’s surrender or rescue Rosa by force. Negotiation will lead to a peaceful resolution while rescuing Rosa leads to combat with Bergow’s guards. The player will ultimately get Bergow to surrender regardless of their choice, thus finishing the Dancing with the Devil quest.
