Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 In Vino Veritas Quest Walkthrough
1. Start the Quest by Meeting Casper in Kuttenberg
To begin the In Vino Veritas quest, head to the town of Kuttenberg. There, you’ll find Casper Rudolf, a wine seller trying to attract customers to buy his wine. Casper will offer you a free taste of his wine, but Henry doesn’t enjoy it. You can either help improve the wine or pretend to be a sommelier to uncover the monks' secret ingredient. This will involve interacting with Havel, a local merchant who sells the monastery’s wine.
2. Retrieve Casper's Book (Optional)
To help with your sommelier act, Casper suggests you read a book about wine. The book is in the possession of Adleta Mannlicher, a woman with whom Casper had an affair. You need to infiltrate her father’s home to retrieve it.
You have two options here:
- Infiltrate stealthily by entering through the guard tower near the garden, or
- Convince Adleta with persuasion or exchange marigolds (5 flowers) to get the book.
Once you have the book, read it to gain valuable knowledge on wine.
Why it's useful: Though optional, retrieving the book makes it easier to impress Havel, which will affect your ability to get the monks’ secret ingredient.
3. Make a Good Impression on Havel
To continue the quest, you need to impress Havel, the wine merchant. Here’s where the wine knowledge from Casper’s book can help (or you can go straight to Havel without it). Havel will quiz you on your knowledge of wine, so be prepared!
Here’s how to answer his questions:
Question 1: "What's the best wine in Germany?"
Answer: SteinbergerQuestion 2: "What's missing from my alcohol?"
Answer: Ginger
Correct answers will make a strong impression on Havel, and in return, he’ll reveal that the monks use incense as a secret ingredient in their wine.
4. Report Your Findings to Casper
Return to Casper and tell him what you’ve learned. He will confirm that the monks burn incense in their barrels, but he asks you to investigate further by infiltrating the monastery. You’ll receive an initial payment of 55 groschens to kickstart your investigation.
5. Obtain Seedlings and Get Hired as a Worker (Optional)
To infiltrate the monastery, you can get hired as a worker. To do this, you’ll need to complete the Under the Straw Hat quest, which will unlock the opportunity to work at the monastery.
Once hired, you’ll need to go to the garden area marked on your map. This area is restricted, so be careful. You can either pick the lock to enter or sneak through the building next to it. Once inside, you’ll find 5 seedlings that you can harvest.
Why it's optional: Completing this objective isn’t mandatory, but it provides an additional way to infiltrate the monastery, especially if you want to remain undetected.
6. Find the Secret Ingredient of the Monastery and Return to Casper
After getting the seedlings, head to the monastery cellar. You’ll need to be stealthy to reach the chest containing the monastery's secret ingredient: sulfur wicks. These are the key items you need for the quest.
To make your infiltration easier, we recommend wearing the outfit obtained from the Materia Prima quest, which helps with stealth.
Once you’ve retrieved the sulfur wicks, return to Casper for your final reward: 425 groschens, assuming you’ve completed all secondary objectives.
Conclusion:
That’s all you need to know to successfully complete the In Vino Veritas quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Whether you decide to retrieve the book, sneak into the monastery, or just focus on the main tasks, this quest offers a fascinating look into the world of wine and its secrets. We hope this guide has helped you navigate the challenges!
