Where to Find Poachers in Bird of Prey in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Poacher #1

The first poacher is relatively easy to locate. Begin by speaking with the gamekeeper to initiate the Bird of Prey quest. Then, make your way to the north side of the pond, and venture into the forest. Navigate through the tall shrubs, and you'll eventually stumble upon a camp where the first poacher is hiding.

Remember, while you have the option to kill these poachers, doing so will impact your reputation negatively. Opting for a peaceful resolution is advisable. This particular poacher is timid and can be easily persuaded to surrender. You can choose to release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you decide to spare him, be sure to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Tracking down the second poacher can be quite challenging. To narrow down your search, consider speaking with various NPCs indicated by the quest. Alternatively, head directly to the designated area to confront this criminal. This poacher is bolder and less likely to comply unless you possess strong persuasion skills. In my experience, I had to resort to lethal force and subsequently took his equipment as proof.

The third poacher can be found in Slatego Forest. For additional clues, speak with Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia before heading out. Prepare for potential wolf encounters in this area.

You'll need to visit two locations. The first is an abandoned camp where the criminal once hid. Although it's empty, you can scavenge for useful items. Then, proceed westward to the second location, where you'll find wolves feasting on a man's corpse. After dealing with the wolves, you'll realize this was the missing poacher. Don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

This encounter can be dangerous as you'll need to delve deep into the woods to face three poachers. However, you don't necessarily need to engage in combat. Your objective is to gather evidence by examining three specific items:

• Deer’s corpse
• Deer’s skin
• Hanging deer’s carcass

After inspecting these items, report back to the gamekeeper, who will then task the officials with apprehending the criminals.

The final poacher you need to find is surprisingly Hans. Locating him can be tricky given the vast search area. You'll find him near the rocks on the western edge of the designated zone. Since Henry won't be able to arrest his old friend, your task is to collect Hans's poaching kit as evidence.

That concludes everything you need to know to track down all the poachers and successfully complete the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Remember, avoiding violence is preferable unless you're willing to risk your reputation.
