Jan Rylo in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: How to Save and Spare

Jan Rylo in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — a secondary task from the former bandit Rudy. After entering the service of Mr. Semin, the bandit has already dealt with half of his gang with the help of Indro to prove his loyalty.

This time Rudy is reluctant to reveal the location of one of his former partners, as he was his close friend. In the guide we will tell you where to find the bandit camp and how not to kill Yan Rylo in KCD 2 to get additional reputation points.

How to start Jan Rylo's quest in KCD 2

To start the quest, you will need to complete the two previous tasks from Rudy:

• "Boil";
• "Handsome Karel".

Once you've dealt with Karel, report this to Rudy and wait 24 hours - the icon will appear on the map in Semin again "new task". Using it as a guide, you will be able to find Rudy. Talk to him and learn that this time the target will be his close friend and right hand.

Rudy will ask you to spare his comrade in arms. When taking the quest, you can choose any of the options in the dialogue, since you can change your decision during the quest. At the moment, the lines will not affect anything.

Walkthrough of the quest Jan Rylo in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Having learned that Jan Rylo's gang has settled at Vezhitsky Pond, go look for the bandits. According to Rudy, there are 7 more people in the gang besides Jan himself, so you should prepare for a fight with several opponents.

Break up the gang of Jan Rylo

It is not difficult to find the bandits' camp - they settled in the place where Ptachek and Henry's squad rested in the quest "Carefree Riders". Having reached the northern shore of Vezhitsky Pond, think over the tactics and start clearing the camp.

If you are confident in your strength, you can try to attack head-on. The bandits in the camp are not very strong, if you do not take into account Jan Rylo himself - he is well armed and carries a large shield, which is not so easy to penetrate. In any case, there are quite a lot of enemies, and they will easily surround Henry. It is possible to win this fight, the main thing is not to let yourself be surrounded and to parry the blows in time.

To avoid fighting everyone at once, you can try thinning out the enemy ranks a little with long-range weapons. Blood Bolts or Arrows are great for this. Most bandits don't have armor, and bleeding from even one such projectile will weaken them greatly and kill them soon. Try to wound as many enemies as possible from afar, and then wait for them to die. You can run away from the camp for this time.

Another option is to wait until most of the bandits in the camp are asleep. Then you can sneak up on the sleeping enemies and kill them without being noticed. You still need to be careful, though, as two bandits will be patrolling the camp even at night.

Spare Jan Rylo

If you decide to go along with Rudy's request and leave his friend alive, you'll have to deal with the entire gang first. As long as someone from the gang is alive, Yan won't give up. When attacking head-on, try not to kill Rylo in the heat of battle. Left alone, he'll give in after a few hits.

When killing bandits stealthily, simply eliminate all gang members one by one (there should be 7 of them), and then start a fight with the leader. After the battle begins, you can try to convince him to surrender without a fight by pressing "L Alt" and choosing the first option "Rudy"The snout won't give in anyway, so give it a few blows.

When the bandit surrenders, talk to him. In the dialogue you can decide Ryl's fate:

• "You've finally come to your senses." - If you choose this option, spare the robber in exchange for a promise that he will leave immediately.
• "Too late" - continue the fight and finish off Jan Rylo.

In any of the scenarios, you will receive a shield. If you negotiate with the bandit, he will give it to you himself. Otherwise, take it from the body.

Find the bandit patrol

Having spared Jan, you will also learn that he saw the sentries of that group of bandits who attacked Ptachek's detachment at the beginning of the game. He will tell you about the location of their camp - on the cliffs above the pond. A mark will appear on the map "The Robber Patrol".

Head to the hill southwest of the pond. To get to the cliff, you need to cross the stream at the northern slope and find a path leading up. Once in the forest at the top of the hill, go through it and find a small camp with two bandits. After dealing with them, find a bag of supplies and you can take some of Henry and Ptacek's things:

• strong potion "Cockerel";
• 27 groszy;
• some food and wine.

Bring Rudy Jan's shield

Return to Rudy in Semin and report that Rylo's gang is no more. Give him the shield as proof. The guard will ask if Henry fulfilled his request. If you left Rylo alive, you won't have to choose an answer. You can ask Rudy to keep the shield for himself, and he will agree.

Otherwise, try to lie or justify yourself so as not to lose your reputation:

• "It turned out that it was either him or me." - honestly inform Rudy about the death of his comrade. Get some reputation, but the guard will refuse to give Jan Ryla's shield, because he wants to keep it for himself.
• "I let him go (lie)" - with a sufficient level of eloquence, this option will work and Rudy will believe Indro. In this case, you will still be able to get the robber's shield.
• "He deserved to die." - the worst option, as it results in loss of reputation and the inability to obtain a shield.
