Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Wedding Crashers Quest Guide

It's a wild one.

It’s a simple statement of fact that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is awesome, and that’s in no small part due to its remarkable quests. One of the most impressive early-game quests is Wedding Crashers because almost everything you do in the tutorial section meaningfully affects it. Here’s the jig!

In the broadest sense possible, Kingdom Come 2‘s Wedding Crashers quest is effectively the entire intro to the game. The questline begins proper as early as Henry and Hans’s bickering at the pillory, and it doesn’t wrap up until you’re well on your way to Kuttenberg. A whole lot of things play into Wedding Crashers, then, and there are many ways to complete it. Down below, I’ve assembled a handy and reasonably spoiler-free explainer of Wedding Crashers’ major progression steps, as well as including some handy tips and tricks on how to get through it all.

Full Kingdom Come 2 Wedding Crashers Quest Overview & Steps

Even though Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2‘s entire Trosky region is yours to explore as soon as Henry and Hans split apart, the fact of the matter is that effectively all of this content technically 🥀falls under the purview of the Wedding Crꦐashers quest line.

Wedding Crashers is, as its name implies, all about getting invited to Olda and Agnes’ wedding to reach Von Bergow. Since that’s the only way for Henry and Hans to actually talk to Von Bergow, they’ve got no choice but to figure out a way to crash the wedding, and so almost everything you do during your stay in Trosky somehow feeds into this grand event.

After being let off the pillory with a stern talking-to (more-or-less), and some strenuous dialogue with one of the nearby locals, Bara, you’ll discover that there are two distinctive avenues for Henry to make it to the wedding:

  • See Radovan the Blacksmith to help you reach the wedding.
  • See Kreyzl the Miller to help you reach the wedding.

Without going into too many spoilers, each of these routes has its own pros and cons, but the most important thing is that you can actually technically complete both of them before setting off for the wedding. Really, the only important distinction in the end is whether you go to the wedding with the Blacksmith or the Miller, and I highly recommend completing each of their respect𝔍ive sub-quests to get t🏅he most out of the game.

If you need more context, it’s good to keep in mind that the Blacksmith questline sets you up to succeed in Kingdom Come 2‘s crafting subsystems, whereas the Miller questline is extremely focused on stealth and thievery. Equally important, these two. Whichever you choose in the end, though, you just need to pursue their respective subquests to g♋et the option t🍸o go to the wedding.

Completing the Wedding Crashers quest in Kingdom Come 2

The good news is that Wedding Crashers is quite straightforward after you get to the wedding. Substantial chunks of it depend on whether you’ve chosen to go to the wedding with the Blacksmith or the Miller, of course, but the vast majority of it tells you precisely what you need to be doing at any given point in time.

Harry’s time will, for the most part, be filled up with eating, drinking, and optionally completing some of the side activities available at the wedding (more on that in the next section). Then, in a striking crescendo of unexpected events, Harry will find himself accused of trying to seduce the bride, which subsequently leads to a massive fistfight. The usual!

Some very important things to keep in mind here, however. Firstly, I highly recommend not trying to go to the wedding as soon as possible. At the event itself, you’ll come across various characters who appear in certain prior Trotsky region quests, such as Vostatek the Huntsman. These people’s narratives are much more interesting and involved if you interact with them ahead of time, and they’ll make for a better payoff in the end.

So, though I do recommend completing both the Blacksmith and the Miller’s respective quests, make sure that you explore Trotsky at least to some extent before proceeding to the wedding proper.

All optional side activities in the Wedding Crashers quest

As I’ve implied before, the actual event of the wedding is a phenomenal excuse for Henry to fool around and participate in an assortment of side activities that even a Yakuza game wouldn’t be ashamed of. Some of these have a narrative payoff, but most of them are just fun stuff to do between steps of the main Wedding Crashers questline. Here’s the full list of things you can but don’t have to do at the wedding:

  • Pursue Gamekeeper Vostatek all over the place and prevent him from getting (too) drunk to exist.
  • Challenge a number of combatants to a duel (Young Lord Semine, Captain Gnarly, Svatya, Lord Semine).
  • Dance with Doubravka.
  • Play Dice and win Badges from a number of characters (Emmerich the Apothecary, Radovan the Blacksmith, the Chamberlain, Bailiff Thrush, Innkeeper Betty).
  • Find the young man wearing yellow clothes.

These you can do at your own behest, though you obviously won’t be able to complete any of them after the wedding is over. The quest step to look out for is “Congratulate the newlyweds,” as finding (one of) the newlyweds will actually lead to the aforementioned fistfight and wrap up the night and this chapter of the game alongside it.
