Completing Ruin opens up ‘Raiders’, which is the same deal but you’re fighting Cumans instead. Whatever you choose, the feedback loop of clearing out the camp, looting the bodies and returning to Captain Bernard in Rattay for your reward is addictive, and we couldn’t stop until we’d banished every bandit in the land. Or you can do what we did and run straight down the middle and swing your mace. You can scout from high ground and snipe enemies with a bow. You can poison a wine skin or food pot and come back later to finish off the dying men.

You can scare a bandit’s horse so it stampedes through the camp. The camps are fun to clear out and there’s more than a few ways to approach them. Talk to Father Godwin in Uzhitz and ask him if he has any work for you. Bohemia’s countryside is full of bandits, and it’s your job to kill them all – and chop their ears off as trophies. This page includes the walkthrough for the Playing with the Devil quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.


Technically an activity rather than a side quest, but it’s still a worthy distraction.
