In any RPG, there are tons of quests you can undertake, and focusing solely on the main quest isn’t the whole experience. It’s always about those side characters you meet, who take you to different locations, help you explore the world, or even connect you with other characters.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2does this and more, as side quests in this game are far more unique in how you interact with them and how you receive them, unlike typical RPGs. The Absolver, for example, lets you help a guy who is jealous of another because he has a better sword, and he wants it for himself.

Thomas of Kolin doesn’t have a fixed location within the camp, as he moves around, butyou can check the map for the New Quest icon to help pinpoint his whereabouts.

To the east of the map, you’ll findthe tournament ring, and just below it, to the left, you’ll spota white tent with green trim along the top. Inside the tent, there’s a chest.

The chest is locked with a medium lock, so make sure you have lockpicks on hand before attempting to open it. Just be cautious andensure no one sees you.

To begin the forging process, head to the Blacksmith Station, located just west of the camp. First, you’ll need to gather the necessary materials, which are:

Fortunately, most of these materials can be purchased from the Blacksmith, except for the Deer Skin, which can be bought from the nearby Armorsmith.

Once you have all the materials,start the forging process, which is similar to any sword forging. After completing it,you will receive theReplica of the Longsword Absolver.

How To Complete The Absolver Quest

With both swords in hand, you now havea few options on what to do with them.

These choices don’t significantly affect the outcome, so it’s really up to you and your preference.As long as you give the sword to Thomas, the Absolver quest will be completed.

As for your reward,you’ll receive around 600 Groschen.

Personally, we decided to place the Replica back in Basan’s chest and gave Thomas the real sword. No one found out, and we managed to please both parties.
