Arrow-Head Quest Guide | Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

TaskArrow-Head is a unique and highly missable task in the Kuttenberg regionKuttenberg region of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Start it directly after you finish the main quest Speak of the Devil and return to LocationDevil's Den.

Time-sensitive

If you wait too long or progress significantly into the next main quest, the encounter may no longer appear, and you can lose the chance to complete this task.

Arrow-Head quest location

This task is very short, but also highly missable and time-sensitive. It only becomes available after completing the main quest Main questSpeak of the Devil.

To trigger the quest, travel the road between LocationDevil's Den and LocationGrund shortly after that main mission ends.

More precisely, follow the road east of Devil's Den, the one with the river stream crossing it. Follow it until you reach a man asking for help on the left side: Karel Arrowhead.

Meet Karel Arrowhead

Talk to him and learn that Karel Arrowhead is a bandit leader who famously survived being shot in the forehead by one of his own men. The arrow remains lodged in his skull, giving him his nickname and a reputation as a man protected by divine forces.

Dialogue with Karel Arrowhead about his arrow and the sacks

Karel will ask for your assistance in carrying the second heavy sack back to his nearby camp. In the sacks is charcoal he has recently stolen, as he will admit if you ask him further.

Carry the cargo

Karel will pick up one sack, and you must pick up the other one remaining on the ground.

Follow Karel as he leads you through the woods toward his encampment.

You can engage him in conversation during the walk. Karel has a lot of interesting dialogue and thinks of himself as a human touched by good and some kind of medieval Robin Hood. He is keen to share a lot of information about his “magical” arrow and his outlook on life in the wilderness with his bandit group.

Rewards and next steps

Once you reach the bandit camp north of Grund, follow Karel to the designated drop-off point and put down your sack. Speak with him one last time to conclude the task.

Karel will grant you a full 7 Groschen for your manual labor.

Completing this task unlocks Side questThe Magic Arrow side quest in due course, but it is not immediately available.

Next: The Magic Arrow, Into the Underworld, or The Devil's Pack.
