Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Ars Dimicatoria Quest Guide - How to Join the Kuttenberg Swordsmen
When arriving in Kuttenberg, you'll encounter Menhard practicing swordplay on the north side of town. He challenges you to a duel for 200 Groschen using blunt weapons and no armor. During the duel, the local swordsman brotherhood interrupts, revealing Menhard lacks proper authorization to teach.
Meet Menhard at the Oak Wagoner's Inn outside the city walls. He explains the brotherhood rejected his charter and requests your help to steal their ceremonial sword.
To steal the brotherhood's sword:
- Go to the guildhall in southwest Kuttenberg (near the bathhouse)
- Enter through either the locked back door or the guarded front entrance
- Reach the second floor while avoiding the patrolling housewife
- Find the guild sword displayed on the right side of the main hall
Next steps:
- Take the sword to the town hall in the city center
- Wait until nightfall (use Nighthawk potion for better visibility)
- Hang the sword in the rafters without being spotted
- Meet Menhard at sunrise
The final confrontation:
- Face the brotherhood in a duel
- You must win two fights to complete the quest
- If you were caught earlier in the guildhall, opponents will wear light armor while you're restricted to clothing
- Defeat your opponents to earn Menhard's reward
Key Tips:
- Use stealth and timing to avoid detection
- Complete the theft at night for better chances
- High persuasion skill helps if caught
- Win both duels to complete the quest
