KCD2 Guide: How to Romance Black Bartosch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Looking to charm the dashing swordsman, Black Bartosch? Here’s a step-by-step guide on how Henry can unlock a steamy night with him in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Step 1: Complete “For Whom The Bell Tolls”

You won’t even cross paths with Black Bartosch until you save Hans from being hanged during the “For Whom The Bell Tolls” quest. Once Hans is safe, Henry and Bartosch will have the freedom to explore the castle grounds.

Where to Find Bartosch:

• Head to the combat area outside the soldier barracks in the northwest section of Trosky.
• Bartosch is known for his fighting skills, so expect to find him sharpening his blade or sparring.
• Introduce yourself, but note—you can’t unlock romance options just yet.

Step 2: Start the “For Victory” Quest

The romance path opens up during the “For Victory” main quest, which kicks off right after completing “Necessary Evil”.

Before the Feast:

• Talk to Black Bartosch: Before heading to Hans for Otto von Bergow’s feast, chat with Bartosch.
• Boost Your Reputation: Ask about his life, his work for Otto von Bergow, and pay for a bit of combat training to get on his good side.

 

 

Step 3: Prepare for Otto von Bergow’s Feast

This is where first impressions count!

Charm Check Prep:

• Hit the Bathhouse: Pay for a bath at Trosky’s bathhouse—a clean Henry has higher Charisma.
• Dress to Impress: Equip your finest outfit with the best Charisma stats for upcoming dialogue checks.
• Meet Hans: Once fresh and fly, find Hans in the evening to attend the feast together.

Step 4: Make Your Move at the Feast

At the feast, you’ll mingle with guests and unlock side quests. But keep your eyes on the prize—Black Bartosch.

Find Bartosch at the Feast:

• He’ll be casually leaning against a wall behind the main table on the left side of the room.
• Approach him for a chat—he’ll greet Henry when nearby.

Trigger the Romance Option:

• Key Dialogue Choice: Select “What about the local girls?”
• Bartosch will hint he’s more interested in drinks and Henry’s company than the ladies.

Step 5: Seal the Deal

Here’s your shot! After some playful banter, you’ll get a chance to invite Bartosch for a night together.

Impression Check:

• High Charisma Required: This check decides if the night ends in romance.
• Pro Tip: Use Perfume for a last-minute Charisma boost.

If Successful:

• Henry and Bartosch will flirt and arrange to meet late in the evening for some romantic downtime.

Final Thoughts

Romancing Black Bartosch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is all about timing, charm, and confidence. Build that reputation, flex your Charisma, and who knows? You might just share an unforgettable night with Trosky’s finest swordsman.
