While the mechanics of the tournament are straightforward, missteps can easily lead to disqualification, even if you’re dominating in combat. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Start the Kuttenberg Tournament
Once Ars Dimicatoria has been completed, players can access the Kuttenberg Tournament by speaking with Menhard, who can be found at the Kuttenberg Swordfighting Guild hall located in the center of the city. Look for the hall marked by large yellow and orange flags.
Upon speaking with Menhard, you will be given the option to enroll in one to three events, each of which requires a 100 groschen entry fee.
Menhard will inform you how many in-game days remain until the tournament begins. you’re able to wait out the days by paying 30 groschen for a short wait or 100 groschen for a longer one, which automatically transitions time and drops you into a cutscene at the beginning of the tournament.
If you prefer to wait manually, you may spend the interimcompleting side questsorgathering loot, but keep an eye on the date or you might miss the tournament. This is especially important if you’re playing on hardcore mode and cannot fast-travel.
Certain quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 aretime-sensitiveor cause time to pass quickly during scripted events. It’s possible to miss the tournament entirely if you lose track of time. However, if you do miss it, don’t worry—the Kuttenberg Tournament is repeatable and will return the following week.
Winning the Tournament
Each Kuttenberg Tournament features three duel types: sword and shield, longswords, and free combat. Participating in each category requires Henry todefeat two opponentsin best-of-three bouts, totaling four to six fights per event.
In sword and board and longsword events, tournament gear is provided and must be used—your own equipment must be temporarily unequipped. Only in free combat can Henry use his personal weapons and armor.
Participating in both sword and shield and longsword duels requires two different sets of assigned gear. Between fights, be sure to visit the armorer to have your loadout changed accordingly. If you forget or enter the wrong fight with the wrong set of gear, the guild will accuse you of theft and fine you 500 groschen.
Feel free to explore the surrounding area between tournament routes. You can always take this time torepair gear, usealchemy potions, or even visit the nearby bathhouse for healing and buffs. If you’re seeking a more underhanded route, you can even choose topoison your opponent’s wine, found in a keg near the warm-up area.
This can give you a serious edge—just make sure no one sees you tampering with it, as getting caught will result in disqualification or worse.
Always return in time for your next scheduled bout. If you’re late, you automatically forfeit your position in the tournament, no matter how well you’ve done up to that point.
