"Complete Under the Straw Hat Quest in KCD2: Guide"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, some quests become accessible only after reaching Kuttenberg, which then allows travel between regions. Here’s a detailed guide on how to complete the "Under the Straw Hat" quest in this new area.

How To Unlock 'Under the Straw Hat' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Before diving into "Under the Straw Hat," you must first initiate the "In Vino Veritas" side quest in Kuttenberg. Upon arrival, locate Casper Rudolf on the west side of the city, where he's offering free wine samples. Casper's goal is to refine his wine, and he needs your help to gather crucial information.

You have two paths to proceed: directly approach Havel to showcase your wine knowledge, or retrieve Casper's book from Adleta to deepen your understanding of wine. If you choose to meet Havel directly, ensure you're dressed in fine attire and well-groomed. When conversing with Havel, select the following options: "Germany," "Steinberger," and "It’s missing ginger." These choices are vital to extract the necessary information. After your discussion, return to Casper and share your findings.

Access the Vineyard

Following your conversation with Casper, your next task is to infiltrate the vineyard north of Kuttenberg to learn more about the incense Havel mentioned. Avoid wandering into the fields to prevent trespassing charges. Instead, follow the main road into the vineyard and speak with the recruiter, who will introduce you to the "Under the Straw Hat" quest. Continue along the road past the guard at the estate entrance until you find Jerome seated on a bench.

Inform Jerome that you've been instructed to report there. He'll provide you with details about working at the vineyard.

Working at the Vineyard

Your job at the vineyard begins the following day. After a night's rest, return to the vineyard in the morning. You have the option to work by moving sacks to their designated spots and picking plants like Thistle around the vines, which will earn you pay. Alternatively, you can focus solely on finding the secret incense.

The incense is located in the wine cellar, accessible through the main building and down the stairs from where you met Jerome. Be cautious, as entering these areas as a worker still risks punishment if caught. To enter the cellar, you'll need either a lockpick or to steal the keys from Jerome.

Locate a chest in the cellar and collect all the Sulphur Wicks inside, completing the main objective. Optionally, you can also pick up seedlings for Casper to boost your reward. From the main building's entrance, head straight across to find the seedlings. Remember, this is trespassing, so you must act swiftly to gather five seedlings and exit.

If you opt to do the day's work, report to Jerome at the end of the day for your wages. Otherwise, return to Casper with the wicks and, if applicable, the seedlings.

Completing these tasks will successfully conclude both the "Under the Straw Hat" and "In Vino Veritas" quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, paving the way for further adventures such as "Master Schindel’s Toys."
