Captain LagbeardKingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Most Awkward Side Quest – Stalking and Stolen Shoes!
The medieval world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn’t just about sword fights, political intrigue, and historically accurate hygiene struggles.
It’s also about awkward romance, creepy stalkers, and… stolen footwear?
Enter The Stalker quest—a side activity that might just make or break your relationship with Katherine, one of the game’s most beloved characters.
If you’re planning to win her heart (or at least her favor), you need to know how to tackle this bizarre yet entertaining quest.
Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide on how to complete The Stalker in the least embarrassing way possible.
How to Trigger “The Stalker” Quest – Don’t Blink or You’ll Miss It!
Unlike your typical Kingdom Come missions, The Stalker is a blink-and-you-miss-it type of side quest.
Here’s how you can make sure you don’t let this golden (or rather, leather) opportunity slip away:
Method 1: The “Oh No, Chertan’s Dead!” Route
- During The Lion’s Den main quest, you’ll come across a tragic event—Chertan has died. (Surprised? You probably shouldn’t be; it’s medieval times.)
- In the midst of the dramatic aftermath, talk to the surrounding NPCs and select the dialogue option “A girl from the baths will help.”
- Boom! Quest unlocked! You’re now officially on stalker duty.
Method 2: The “Oops, I Missed It!” Route
- If you completely ignore the first method (you rebel, you), don’t worry. After finishing Musa’s trial, casually stroll over to Katherine and ask, “So… what’s up with you lately?”
- She’ll spill the tea: Some weirdo has been following her and, more importantly, has stolen one of her precious shoes. (Yes, this is apparently a big deal.)
- Congratulations! You’re now involved in one of the strangest cases of medieval footwear theft ever recorded.
Finding the Stalker – A Game of Hide and Seek
Your prime suspect? A fellow named Chakan, who, aside from his obsession with Katherine’s shoes, lives a suspiciously nomadic life.
- Head west of the A marker on your map.
- Look for a tent nestled between a red and white one. That’s your guy’s lair—er, home.
- Inside, you’ll find Katherine’s missing shoe, confirming that yes, this guy is indeed the medieval version of that dude from your local gym who watches but never works out.
The Midnight Showdown – How to Deal with Chakan
Now that you’ve retrieved the shoe, it’s time to confront the culprit. But here’s the catch—you have to wait for 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM for Chakan to reveal his next move.
- Stakeout Time – Hang outside Katherine’s tent and prepare for some good ol’ medieval detective work.
- Spot the Creep – Chakan will slink around her tent like a rejected theater villain.
- Approach with Caution – Sneak up behind him and initiate a friendly chat (read: interrogation).
Options for Handling Chakan:
- Skill Check Success: If you’ve been training in the fine art of persuasion, congrats! A successful skill check will make Chakan rethink his entire life, and he’ll leave Katherine alone forever. (At least, that’s what we hope.)
- Go Full Pacifist: You can pay him off to scram. But let’s be real, do you really want to financially support his creepy shoe-hoarding hobby?
- Fistfight Your Way to Justice: If all else fails, get those knuckles ready. Pro tip: DO NOT DRAW YOUR WEAPON. Why? Because the second you unsheathe that sword, Chakan will do the same, and then this turns from a hilarious side quest into a medieval duel to the death.
- Epic Fail: If you mess up, Chakan will attack you first. Defeat him, or prepare for one of the most embarrassing death screens of your playthrough.
Reporting Back to Katherine – The Reward? Maybe Love!
Once Chakan has been handled (one way or another), it’s time to go back to Katherine and give her the good news.
- She’ll either be sleeping in her tent (probably dreaming of knights in shining armor who don’t spend their nights dealing with stalkers) or hanging out at Devil’s Den like the boss she is.
- Tell her what happened, return her shoe, and bask in the glory of her gratitude.
While there’s no epic treasure for completing The Stalker quest, successfully helping Katherine may increase your chances of romancing her. And if that’s not a reward, what is?
Final Thoughts – Who Knew a Side Quest About Shoes Could Be This Wild?
In the grand scheme of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, The Stalker is a side quest that perfectly blends suspense, humor, and a dash of awkward romance.
Whether you handle Chakan diplomatically or by turning him into your personal punching bag, one thing is certain: Katherine will remember this.
So, keep your skills sharp, your fists ready, and your medieval footwear secure—because you never know when someone might try to steal your shoes next.
