Restless Spirit Walkthrough: Kingdom Come Deliverance

Updated:

The "Restless Spirit" side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance tasks Henry with helping Drahomira, a woman haunted by what she believes is a ghost. This walkthrough provides a comprehensive guide to completing the quest, including key steps and potential pitfalls.

Starting the Quest:

Begin by speaking with the herbalist Kunhuta. She'll tell you about Drahomira and her troubles, setting you on the path to resolving the haunting.

Essential Preparation: Poppies

Before starting the ritual, ensure you have at least 10 poppies in your inventory. This is crucial to avoid a potential bug during the exorcism that can prevent you from progressing or leaving Drahomira's house. You can purchase poppies from Kunhuta.

Initial Steps:

  1. Visit Drahomira: Find Drahomira in Ledetchko. She will direct you to Sasau to collect flowers from her neighbor's grave.
  2. Gather Flowers: Travel to the cemetery in Sasau and retrieve the flowers from the specified grave.
  3. Perform the First Ritual: Return to Ledetchko and perform the initial smudging ritual with Drahomira.
  4. The Morning After: After a cutscene, Drahomira will ask you to investigate the possibility of "ghost exaggeration" with the apothecary in Rattay.

Acquiring the Necronomicon:

Drahomira believes a book will help understand the situation and asks you to retrieve it. This requires a trip to the Sasau monastery library and some stealth.

  1. Infiltrate the Monastery: Enter the Sasau monastery at night for easier stealth. Wear quiet clothing to minimize noise.
  2. Navigate to the Library:
    • Go to the southeast part of the monastery and ascend the stairs.
    • Proceed straight through an unfinished doorway and turn left through another into a restricted area.
    • Pass through another left door, through a room with a bed, and take the door straight ahead.
    • In the next room (with a table and four chairs), pick the lock of the chest behind the table to obtain the key to the forbidden books. (Requires a decent lockpicking skill. If yours is too low, postpone this part of the quest.)
    • Proceed through the next door and continue straight to reach the library.
  3. Retrieve the Necronomicon: The Necronomicon is on a shelf near the entrance. Some players have reported difficulty picking it up; try approaching it from different angles.

Finding Lada's Grave:

  1. Return to Kunhuta: Give the Necronomicon to Kunhuta and wait for her to read it (about half a day).
  2. Consult Drahomira (and Others): Kunhuta will tell you to find the grave of the neighbor's deceased wife, Lada. Drahomira doesn't know the exact location, but the innkeeper in Ledetchko’s tavern does. Ask him for directions. You also need to collect some charred wood from Alois's house (the quest marker will guide you).
  3. Prepare for the Final Ritual: Before going to the grave, return to Kunhuta, who will accompany you. Meet her at the designated waypoint.

The Final Steps and Resolution:

  1. Perform the Ritual at Lada's Grave: Meet Kunhuta at dusk at Lada's grave to perform the ritual.
  2. Confront Drahomira: Return to Drahomira the next morning. She will still be troubled and suggest seeking help from Father Godwin.
  3. Speak with Father Godwin: He explains that Drahomira is likely suffering from a guilty conscience rather than a true haunting. He suggests encouraging her to erect a penitential cross.
  4. The Confession and the Cross: Return to Drahomira in Ledetchko. Use persuasion (Rhetoric skill of around 5/5/4 should suffice) and comfort her to encourage her to confess to the children. She will then ask you to order a dowry cross from the quarry northwest of Talmberg. She provides some money, but you only need 10 groschen.
  5. The Quarry and the Ending: Travel to the quarry (fast travel or horseback is recommended). Note that if you're at a certain point in the main story, the quarry may be temporarily abandoned. This won't affect the quest as it's not timed. After a cutscene at the quarry, return to Drahomira, who will thank you and reward you with a unique ring, concluding the "Restless Spirit" quest.

This updated walkthrough clarifies the steps, emphasizes the importance of the poppies, and provides more detail on navigating the monastery and resolving the quest's final stages.
