Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Dancing with the Devil Walkthrough

The militia raises the stakes: now your comrades intend to head to the Maleshov fortress to capture Lord Otto of Bergov. Everything necessary for this has already been prepared, including a powerful siege weapon. You only need to choose the path: easy but blood-soaked, or more challenging but sparing human lives. In this text, we will detail the walkthrough of the Dancing with the Devil quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Further in the storyline, players will face a serious battle during the fortress capture. However, everything will depend on your actions: whether you agree to burn the village or stop the Dry Devil. The second option will also require a fight with a friend, and the battle will not be easy. Therefore, we recommend preparing potions, weapons, and equipment in advance.

You can return to the task at any time. When ready, head to the Devil's Place and talk to Zhizhka. The options "What Awaits Us in Maleshov" and "I'll Wait with You" will launch the next stage of the task: "Go to the Evening Meeting." At the meeting, you will learn the plan, but when you arrive at the location with the Dry Devil, it turns out that the robber has other ideas on how best to capture the fortress.

As soon as you are near Maleshov, a cutscene will trigger where the Dry Devil orders the nearby village to be burned. This is needed to lure soldiers out of the fortress and sneak inside. It should be noted that this is the easiest way to complete the task, but the choice will definitely affect the game's ending.

To oppose the Devil, choose the following options:

In battle, the Devil will use a two-handed sword. We recommend using the same weapon or any melee weapon. Using a bow, crossbow, or other ranged weapons will be ineffective, as the opponent quickly closes in on the main character.

Follow your friends to the tower walls, and when the ladder is set up, climb it into the fortress. There are a few guards here that can be distracted or eliminated. We advise stealthily killing one enemy in the guardhouse and distracting two soldiers at the main gate by throwing stones.

As soon as you open the gate, a message will appear on the screen: "The gate for the Dry Devil is opening...". Right after this message, move away from the fortress to the bridge so your comrades can enter. This way, you avoid unnecessary damage from the soldiers and can use the tactic of attacking enemies from behind. Deal with the infantrymen and take a position behind the cart, as there is shooting from the walls of the inner fortress.

Use any firearms to help your friends fend off the archers and crossbowmen on the walls. Soon, a cutscene will trigger where the bombardiers destroy the drawbridge to the inner fortress.

Continue sticking to the old strategy or use long-range weapons. For instance, we did well shooting enemies with a bow. When the remnants of the enemy troops fall, talk to Zhizhka and Ptachek on the fortress walls.

It turns out that Otto of Bergov is not alone in the fortress but with Lady Rosa. If you want to unlock a romantic scene with this character, you will have to refrain from using the musket, which Zhizhka plans to use to destroy the building. Use the following options:

This will trigger a new task: "Defeat Lord Bergov in the Tower".

You can take as much time as you need to complete this activity, so don't rush. Use a handgun, bow, or crossbow to kill several shooters behind the barricades in the corridor.

After overcoming this stage, run forward down the corridor and turn left. Open the door and engage in combat with the remaining opponents. The staircase can become your ally, as if you climb up it, enemies can only approach you one by one. Bergov rarely leaves his refuge, so while you fight the regular soldiers on the staircase, other fighters will deal with Bergov.

At the end of the quest, Shmuel will attempt to kill Bergov, but Zhizhka will stop him. Friends will leave Maleshov, and the quest will be completed.
