KCD2 – A Moment of Fame Quest Walkthrough

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the critically acclaimed action RPG by Warhorse Studios, is known for its deep storytelling, historical accuracy, and immersive world. One of the side quests you can embark on in this expansive world is "A Moment of Fame." This quest provides players with an opportunity to help a character named Tobias 'Darling' deal with his rival, Hired Hand Stanley, in a manner that can be resolved in several ways. In this guide, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive walkthrough of the quest, the choices available, and tips for completing it efficiently.


Quest Overview:

Quest Name: A Moment of Fame
Quest Giver: Tobias 'Darling'
Location: Horschan (Kuttenberg Region)
Quest Type: Side Quest
Required Quest: Must complete the "Fight Dirty" main quest
Quest Objectives:

  1. Help Tobias 'Darling' resolve his issues with Stanley.
  2. Train Tobias or fight him to resolve the conflict.

How to Start "A Moment of Fame" Quest:

To start the quest, you need to have already completed the "Fight Dirty" quest. Afterward, you can find Tobias 'Darling' in Horschan within the Kuttenberg region. Look for him around the area, and engage in a conversation to learn more about his issue with Stanley.

Upon speaking with Tobias, you will be presented with the opportunity to help him in either of two ways: by training him or by fighting him. Both paths lead to different outcomes, so let's break them down further.


Choice 1: Training Tobias 'Darling'

One of the options you have to resolve Tobias's issue is to train him in unarmed combat. This will involve a time investment but can lead to a better resolution. Here’s how to proceed:

  1. Agree to Train Tobias

    • If you choose to train him, you will be asked to put in a few hours of work, sharpening Tobias's combat skills.
    • You will need to have a decent Unarmed skill to train him effectively.
    • If you pass the skill check, you will spend about three hours training Tobias.
  2. Training Outcome:

    • Once Tobias completes his training, he will have the confidence needed to confront Stanley, resulting in a positive resolution.
    • Afterward, Tobias will invite you to meet him in Grund, where you can continue to learn more about his expertise in Horsemanship or Houndmaster (depending on your progress).

Tips for Training Tobias:

  • If you’re looking to speed up the training process, invest in your Unarmed skill beforehand. Higher skills will allow you to pass the training checks easily, which in turn saves time.
  • Taking the time to train Tobias is the more rewarding option, as it leads to a smoother outcome and more opportunities for later interaction with Tobias in Grund.

Choice 2: Fighting Tobias 'Darling'

If you’d rather go down a more confrontational path, you can choose to fight Tobias instead. This will test your combat skills and can lead to either a positive or negative outcome, depending on the results of the fight.

  1. Agree to Fight Tobias

    • In this scenario, you will engage in an unarmed combat match with Tobias.
    • You can choose to either let Tobias win or defeat him during the fight.
  2. Fight Outcome:

    • If you let Tobias win: Tobias will feel more confident and invite you to meet him in Grund for further training on animal care and horsemanship. This results in a positive outcome, albeit with a more passive approach.
    • If you defeat Tobias: While this will end the fight, Tobias will be upset at his loss, which may impact your relationship with him moving forward.

Tips for Fighting Tobias:

  • If you’re skilled in Unarmed Combat or have a significant advantage in health or armor, you can defeat Tobias without too much trouble. However, doing so may make the interaction feel less rewarding.
  • Letting Tobias win, though, can be a more peaceful resolution and will keep the relationship friendly.

Conclusion: Completing the Quest

Regardless of the path you choose, completing A Moment of Fame gives you the satisfaction of resolving Tobias's issues with Stanley. The two possible outcomes — training Tobias or fighting him — both lead to different scenarios but ultimately allow you to help Tobias achieve his goals. Here’s what you can expect from the quest’s resolution:

  • Training Tobias: You’ll gain his respect and a potential future connection with him, as well as the satisfaction of helping him grow.
  • Fighting Tobias: While you’ll resolve the conflict, you might leave him with a sense of defeat, affecting the future of your relationship.

Either way, the choice is yours. The decision you make during A Moment of Fame will reflect your personal approach to problem-solving in the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Choose wisely, as the consequences will shape your journey in this vast medieval world.


FAQs for "A Moment of Fame" Quest:

  2. Can I fail the "A Moment of Fame" quest? There’s no fail state for the quest itself, but the outcome may change depending on your choice (train or fight). The way you resolve the conflict will determine Tobias's attitude toward you moving forward.

  3. What happens if I defeat Tobias in the fight? If you defeat Tobias, he will be upset about the loss, which might affect your relationship with him. However, it’s still possible to complete the quest.
