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

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's pivotal "Necessary Evil" quest, players face a difficult moral dilemma: siding with Semine or Hashek. This guide navigates the complexities of this choice.

Quest Walkthrough:

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

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 extract information. The interrogation reveals Semine's complicity with bandits. Reporting to von Bergow presents a choice: expose Semine's involvement (leading to an attack on Semine's town), or claim no one aided the bandits (resulting in an attack on Nebakov).

Attacking Semine or Nebakov:

Choosing Semine initiates a more challenging sequence involving Hashek. Attacking Nebakov concludes the quest immediately, avoiding the bloodshed at Semine, but potentially overlooking Semine's culpability for innocent deaths.

If Semine is chosen, staying with the party is crucial; otherwise, the town will be massacred.

Siding with Semine or Hashek:

A conversation with Hashek reveals his thirst for revenge against Semine. The subsequent choice is critical:

• "Hashek is right." (Sides with Hashek, resulting in widespread death)
• "Olda deserves a trial." (Sides with Semine)

Siding with Semine, despite Semine's mistakes, prevents further bloodshed. After defeating Hashek, advising the Semines to burn their estate and flee advances the quest.

Reporting to Von Bergow:

Finally, Henry and Hans report to von Bergow. Players can:

• Remain silent, letting Hans speak diplomatically.
• Speak up, revealing events at Semine.

Silence and letting Hans speak maintains favor with von Bergow, leading to future plans against Nebakov.
