Get Procopius Relic, Urban, Saintly Remains, KC Deliverance

Updated January 2025

The "Saintly Remains" side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is tied to the "In God's Hand" quest and involves helping a guard named Urban, who longs to touch a relic of Saint Procopius. Here's an updated guide reflecting current knowledge and gameplay:

Triggering the Quest:

The quest begins when you speak with Sebastian vom Berg during the "In God's Hand" side quest and provide him with supplies (ribs). Urban, a guard stationed outside Sebastian's house in the northeast of Sasau Monastery, will express his desire to interact with a relic of Saint Procopius, who is buried in the monastery's catacombs.

Finding Initial "Remains":

The initial step involves retrieving a simple wooden bowl from the catacombs. Here's how to find it:

  1. Locate the entrance to the catacombs near the excavation site.
  2. Pass through the first two arches.
  3. Turn left and descend the ladder to the area with blood on the floor (the accident scene).
  4. Take the passage to the right and follow it through the cave.
  5. You'll find a wooden cross with candles and the nondescript wooden bowl in front of it. Take the bowl.

Options for Completing the Quest:

You have several options for completing the quest, each with different outcomes:

  • Presenting the Bowl: You can simply give the bowl to Urban. He will believe it's a relic and offer you a few groschen as thanks. This is the simplest option and requires no speech checks. Crucially, it's important to take the bowl back from Urban after he examines it. Failing to do so can lead to negative consequences later in the game, potentially including Urban becoming hostile.

  • Acquiring "Better" Remains (Charlatan's Bone): You can purchase a bone from the charlatan in Sasau. Presenting this bone to Urban requires a high Speech skill check to convince him of its authenticity. Success will result in a more positive outcome for the quest.

Key Considerations and Updates:

  • Returning the Bowl: This is the most important update. Regardless of whether you give Urban the bowl or the charlatan's bone, you MUST retrieve the item from him afterward. This prevents the bug where Urban becomes hostile and avoids potential complications with the main story.

  • Bug Mitigation: The bug where the relic couldn't be returned to its place seems to be largely resolved in current versions of the game. However, ensuring you take the item back from Urban is the best way to avoid any potential issues.

  • No Need to Kill Urban: Under no circumstances should you kill Urban. This is unnecessary and can cause significant problems with other quests.

  • Focus on Retrieving the Item: The core of this updated guide is the emphasis on retrieving the item from Urban. This single action prevents the most common issues associated with this quest.

By following these updated instructions, you should be able to complete the "Saintly Remains" quest without encountering any major problems. Remember to prioritize retrieving the item from Urban to ensure a smooth and bug-free experience.
