"Complete In Vino Veritas Guide for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quest "In Vino Veritas" offers a delightful yet intricate journey through Kuttenberg City. This quest not only involves a series of steps but also includes a nested side quest, making it a rich experience for players. Let's dive into the detailed walkthrough to ensure you can navigate this quest with ease and enjoyment.

Speak with Casper and Havel

Your journey begins with Casper Rudolf, who you'll find by his drink cart on the east side of Kuttenberg City. Simply enter through the east gate and head straight to bump into him. Casper is curious about the secret behind the monks' wine, and your task is to uncover this mystery. Engage in a thorough conversation with him to learn about Havel and a book he left with Adleta, which will guide your next steps.

If you decide to retrieve the book from Adleta, head to the southeast corner of Kuttenberg's inner wall during the morning or afternoon. You'll find an open garden where Adleta often spends her time. Before you go, make sure to pick up five Marigolds. Try to meet Adleta before her brother Hugo arrives, or if Hugo is already there, get his permission to speak with her. Be kind during your conversation and explain that you need the book for Casper. You can either pass a skill check to persuade her or offer the Marigolds as a gift to secure the book. Once you have it, read it from your inventory to gain valuable insights.

Alternatively, you can skip the book and head directly to Havel at his inn in Kuttenberg City. To make a good impression, ensure your Charisma is at least 18 and brush up on your drinking skills. When conversing with Havel, choose these options:

• Germany. Let’s do it.
• That’s a very fine gift.
• Steinberger.
• It’s missing ginger.

These choices will impress Havel, leading him to reveal the monastery's secret ingredient. Return to Casper with this information to progress further.

Find the Monastery’s Secret Ingredient

Next, make your way to the vineyard north of Kuttenberg. Start the "Under the Straw Hat" side quest by speaking with the recruiter, which allows you to explore the vineyard without being considered a trespasser. Inside, find Jerome, usually seated on a bench near the main building.

Sneak into the main building, turn left, and head to the storeroom. Use your lockpicking skills to open the chests and find the Sulphur Wicks, which are crucial for Casper. For some extra Groschen, don't forget to visit the garden behind the main building and collect five seedlings before you leave.

If you're interested in completing "Under the Straw Hat," engage in tasks such as removing plants around the vines and moving sacks. Once you've done enough work, report back to Jerome to finish the side quest and earn some Groschen. Otherwise, return to Casper with the Sulphur Wicks and seedlings, if you've collected them.

Completing "In Vino Veritas" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* not only advances your storyline but also opens up opportunities to explore other quests or indulge in collecting badges and dice. Enjoy the rich tapestry of adventures that await you in this immersive world.
