Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Canker Cure Guide

Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the "Canker" side quest becomes available after completing "The Jaunt." This quest offers a chance to acquire a mace and some extra Groschen. Here's how to complete it:

Picking Up the "Canker" Side Quest

To begin, speak with Gules in Semine. Conveniently, you can initiate this quest during Lord Semine and Agnes's wedding, while Gules is enjoying a drink. Alternatively, you can find him on patrol in Semine. Simply ask him about his former bandit gang and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker is the first target on your list.

Finding and Killing Canker

Upon accepting the quest, Canker's location will appear on your map, north of Nebakov Mill. Be aware of potential bandit ambushes along the path. You can choose stealth, combat, or simply outrun them. While individual bandits aren't overly challenging, repeated skirmishes can deplete your health before the main encounter.

Canker's camp is nestled within the mountains, easily missed due to a narrow passage. Similar to accessing the Hermit's house in "Wedding Crashers," prepare for combat before entering, as several bandits, including Canker, await.

Note that some bandits might flee depending on the order you eliminate them. However, thorough combat is recommended to ensure quest completion, as Canker himself doesn't run.

Completing the Quest and Returning to Gules

After defeating Canker and the other bandits, loot Canker's body. You must acquire the Light Mace, though feel free to take other items as well. Return to Gules with the mace to complete the quest.

Following the completion of "Canker," wait a full in-game day before proceeding to the next quest in this series, "Handsome Charlie." Speak with Gules again to begin.
