Should You Side With Semine or Hashek in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (Necessary Evil Quest Guide Best Outcome)

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's "Necessary Evil" quest, players face a difficult moral dilemma: siding with Semine or Hashek. This guide outlines the key choices and their consequences.

Quest Walkthrough:

Following the "Back in the Saddle" quest, "Necessary Evil" begins. Von Bergow tasks Hans and Henry with gathering intelligence from Nebakov Fortress, including the interrogation of a prisoner.

Prisoner Interrogation:

Successful interrogation requires passing Speech checks. Options include:

• "We’ll put in a good word for you." (20 Impression)
• "Istvan and I are old acquaintances." (20 Impression)
• "Otherwise, it’ll end badly for you." (17 Intimidation)

Alternatively, torture can be used. The interrogation reveals Semine's involvement with bandits. Reporting to von Bergow, you can choose to expose Semine, leading to an attack on his town, or protect him, resulting in an attack on Nebakov.

Attacking Semine or Nebakov:

Attacking Semine initiates a more complex series of choices involving Hashek. Attacking Nebakov concludes the quest immediately, avoiding the bloodshed at Semine but potentially letting Semine escape consequences.

Siding with Semine or Hashek:

Before the attack on Semine, Hashek reveals his desire for revenge, advocating for total destruction. The choice is between:

• "Hashek is right." (Sides with Hashek)
• "Olda deserves a trial." (Sides with Semine)

Siding with Semine, despite his wrongdoing, prevents further unnecessary bloodshed. After defeating Hashek, advise the Semines to burn their estate and flee.

Reporting to Von Bergow:

Finally, report to von Bergow. You can either let Hans handle the explanation or speak up yourself. Letting Hans speak maintains a positive relationship with von Bergow.

This guide provides a walkthrough of the "Necessary Evil" quest, highlighting the significant moral choices and their impact on the game's narrative. Remember that choices have consequences, affecting the outcome and shaping Henry's character arc.
