Once the businesses exist, start bringing in people who can actually improve them. This is where helping characters elsewhere in the game can come back around, but recruitment depends on their situation and your earlier decisions. A name on...
There are two bigger choices to settle before you finish laying everything out: bakery or butcher, and stables or guardhouse. These are alternatives. You cannot eventually squeeze both versions into the village, so make a save before commit...
With the opening buildings finished, I would concentrate on getting the settlement into profit. A straightforward route is the tavern once you have stone and grain. Its base construction costs 8,000 groschen, so account for that before spen...
Once the trader is built, Supplies becomes much easier to understand. You are arranging deliveries for the settlement, not filling Henry's inventory with ordinary grain and charcoal. The trader handles transport. You only need one supplier...
The money needs to go into the village chest beside Marius's ledger. Carrying 30,000 groschen on Henry does nothing for an empty village treasury. Keep some money on Henry for the supply trip, especially the stone payment, and put enough in...
From the Ashes puts Henry in charge of rebuilding Pribyslavitz, and the first thing I would tell anyone starting it is to bring money before accepting a job that immediately starts costing money. Being appointed bailiff sounds great until e...
Give Hans the musk, take the poetry book and read it before meeting him that evening. Aim to be at his room around 9 p.m., and bring a Marigold decoction. His face reacts badly to the musk, and the decoction is an available way to deal with...
The lantern is hanging high in the tree near the grave. Shoot that down to frighten the other friend, then leave Felix for the Charlatan’s performance. A failed optional practice objective doesn’t automatically mean the actual lantern has s...
The fake-blood recipe is easy to confuse with the potion Hans actually wants. They’re two different things. Fake blood is for the bathhouse, and the Charlatan gives its ingredients as a story instead of just handing you a normal shopping li...
For No Rest for the Wicked, bring a spade and start with the grave west of Ledetchko. Remove the remains, ask the local gossip about the dead man, then return to the Charlatan and go through the haunting ideas with him. You can also ask abo...
The murder investigation needs its own explanation because having the necklace doesn’t solve it, and finding somebody’s stolen dice doesn’t necessarily make the journal recognize that you’ve solved anything either. Mladota is the strongest...
At the camp, you have a few ways to get the necklace. You do not have to win the dice tournament just to finish this part of Hans’s quest. The straightforward tournament route is to speak to Old Blaha, enter and work through the opponents....
The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon starts with Hans wanting help with a girl and somehow turns into recovering stolen jewelry, investigating a murder, and helping a charlatan convince an entire village that it’s haunted. I’m work...
What Price Honour? is the final ride against Hagen Zoul. Make a separate save before leaving camp. Kuno's men can die in this battle, so finish anything you still want to do with them first. When Hagen offers Kuno money to leave, you have s...
Before the finale, finish the Ring of Bacchus. The ring gets its holder free food and drink on Kuno's tab. Ask Jakey, then speak to The Stone. Get the ring from Dangler by winning a duel or pickpocketing him, then deliver it to The Stone. S...
A Tight Spot sends you toward Sasau and into an ambush at a ford. Stay with Kuno's men and fight your way toward their escape route into the woods. You don't have to hunt down every archer to complete the escape. Reach the regrouping conver...
Uninvited Guests is the second patrol, and the important decision comes when a woman asks the band to help the people at a mill. Raiders are there, and Kuno wants to wait until they've drunk enough to be easier opponents. You can accept tha...
The first patrol is Bad Blood. Stay with Kuno's group until you reach the burned farm, then investigate instead of immediately moving on. In the northeastern building, look for a note attached to a House of Zoul shield. Take the evidence an...
Band of Bastards puts Henry on patrol with Kuno's mercenaries, and there are a few things worth knowing before riding out. This walkthrough covers the whole DLC, including the final confrontation and the choices that affect it, so expect sp...
Widget Widget is a strange little presence in early Excalibur. Most of the time you're looking at this floating mechanical head, but the things it can do are far larger than its appearance suggests. A doorway opens, and suddenly the people...
