Jakesh's Fate in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - Bad Blood Quest Guide

Apr 03,2025 Author: Andrew

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quests offer a rich narrative and deeper character development, and one such quest is *Bad Blood*. Here's a detailed guide on how to start and complete this intriguing quest.

How to Start Bad Blood in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To initiate the *Bad Blood* quest, you must first progress through the main storyline until you're tasked with finding Mutt. During this quest, you'll visit a clearing near Bozhena's hut, where Henry suggests checking if Bozhena has seen anything. Approach Bozhena and inquire about Mutt, and she'll reveal that her daughter Pavlena is missing. Agree to help her, and the *Bad Blood* quest will be added to your journal.

Gather Information

Begin by traveling to Troskowitz and speaking with Bailiff Thrush, followed by a conversation with Innkeeper Betty at the tavern. These interactions will provide insights into Bozhena and Pavlena's past, explaining their ostracism from the village. Next, head to the designated area to talk to the woodcutters. Find Woodcutter Dushko, who will direct you to Roman's house. Remember to save your game before attempting to lockpick Roman's door.

Inside Roman's house, inspect Pavlena's basket and then speak with Dushko again for further details. He'll guide you to a clearing near Roman's house, a favorite spot for the couple.

Search the Scene

From Roman's house, follow the objective marker downhill towards the stream, then turn left at the two large boulders to reach the spot. You'll discover a blood trail leading to Roman's body. Continue uphill to speak with Hogherd Hugo, then return to the farm in Troskowitz and converse with Hired Hand Straw. Successfully passing a dialogue check with Straw will reveal information about Jakesh and the true events involving Roman and Pavlena.

Afterward, you can also discuss Straw's fate with Thrush. Once done, proceed to the rocks south of Zhelejov to further your investigation.

Confront Ota

In the designated area, navigate around the large boulder to find a path. Ascend the ladder to encounter Ota and Pavlena. To persuade Ota to release Pavlena, you'll need sufficient Charisma to pass the dialogue checks. Use the following conversation options:

  • “What’s your name?”
  • “Let her go and I’ll let you go.”
  • “I’ll put in a good word for you with His Lordship.”

Once Ota releases Pavlena, she will kill him with a sword. After speaking with Pavlena, return to Bozhena together. Bozhena will then request that you deal with Jakesh.

Kill Jakesh or Make Peace

For the final part of the quest, you have the option to either kill Jakesh or attempt to broker peace between him and Bozhena. Locate Jakesh at his child’s grave. You can choose to end his life there or engage in dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully. Alternatively, you can kill Bozhena instead, though this will alter the quest's outcome.

In my playthrough, I chose to kill Jakesh and reported back to Bozhena, receiving a reward for my actions.

Should You Kill Jakesh?

Killing Jakesh will negatively impact your reputation in Troskowitz, but it will significantly boost your standing with Bozhena and Pavlena. Additionally, you'll unlock new dialogue options with Pavlena and receive a necklace that was a gift from Roman.

If you opt to spare Jakesh and facilitate peace, he will offer you 100 groschen. When reporting back to Bozhena, you can either keep the money or share it with her. This choice will allow Bozhena and Pavlena to return to the settlement.

That concludes the guide on completing the *Bad Blood* quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to find the Hermit’s sword and Ventza’s treasure, be sure to check out The Escapist.
