Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Canker Walkthrough

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you will receive a task to help the centurion from Semin, who is opposing a band of robbers. This mission will not only allow you to develop your combat skills but also serves as an excellent opportunity to obtain powerful heavy weapons early in the game. In this guide, we will detail how to successfully complete the quest.

This quest becomes available in the Trosky region after you help the blacksmith and complete the The Jaunt quest. Head to the Semin fortress, where Centurion Rudy will be waiting for you. He will tell you about a gang led by a thug named Canker. The bandits, hiding in the area of the Nebakov Mill, disguise themselves as poor monks to kill travelers. The quest will begin as soon as you agree to help the centurion eliminate the gang leader and bring his mace as proof.

Head to the Nebakov Mill. To reach the bandit camp, move north along the stream. Along the way, you will encounter a man dressed in a monk's robe, pretending to be a beggar and asking for alms. However, be prepared for him to attack the hero along with other robbers if you decide to approach him.

You will have to decide whether to try to pass unnoticed or attack first. In any case, the outcome of this encounter will not affect the quest's outcome, so act as you see fit. Continue along the stream, and the bandit camp will be on your right. In Canker's camp, you will face five enemies. It's best to attack at night when most of them are asleep. After victory, examine the chests in the camp — there you will find a recipe for the "Owl" potion, which helps you see in the dark. Also, don't forget to take Canker's mace from the ground — it will be needed to complete the quest.

Return to the Semin castle to report to Rudy. Inform him of Canker's death and provide his mace as proof. The centurion will express gratitude for your efforts and reward you with a small sum of groschen. If you wish to keep the mace, Rudy will agree to let you have it without objection. At the early stages of the game, this weapon is one of the most effective in the heavy weapon category.

Wait a couple of days, then visit Centurion Rudy again in the Semin castle. He will give you a new task related to fighting robbers who continue to threaten peace in the region.

Next quest: Handsome Charlie.
