KCD2 Semine Location, Save Choice and Quest Guide

The short answer

KCD2 Semine is the walled village and horse farm southwest of Troskowitz in the Trosky region. It is where Henry can recover Pebbles, attend Olda and Agnes's wedding, trade, train, and unlock Gules's bandit contracts.

WhenWhat to doWhy it matters
First visitGo southwest from Troskowitz and reclaim PebblesSecure Henry's horse before the fort can burn
Before Wedding CrashersComplete The JauntUnlock Gules and his four tasks
Before Necessary EvilFinish local tasks or prevent the raidBurning KCD2 Semine removes its quest hub

Necessary EvilHide Olda's involvement from von BergowPrevents the raid completely

This order protects every major KCD2 Semine activity. For the surrounding main-story cutoffs, use the KCD2 quests guide. The Wedding Crashers guide covers the two entry routes and optional wedding scenes.

Where Is KCD2 Semine?

KCD2 Semine lies southwest of Troskowitz on the Trosky map. Follow the main road southwest until the walled farmstead and large horse paddock appear. The settlement is separate from Lower Semine Mill, which is farther south on Miller Kreyzl's wedding route.

KCD2 Semine is not a full town with every service. The confirmed KCD2 Semine traders are:

  • Groom Ballatay, who sells horses and horse equipment;
  • the Saddler, who sells tack and related gear;
  • the Grocer, who sells food and provisions.

Sir Jan Semine, Olda, Captain Gnarly, Gules, Guildsman Janek, and Herdsboy Natan connect the location to its quests and training. The local Life in the Saddle I book improves Horsemanship; the KCD2 skills guide helps decide when a fixed XP book is worth using.

Get Pebbles at KCD2 Semine

The KCD2 Semine stable is one of the most valuable early stops because Pebbles is waiting there. Greet the grey mare, then speak with Groom Ballatay and choose the dialogue about Pebbles. A successful Speech check persuades him to return Henry's old horse for free; otherwise, you can buy her for a modest early-game price.

Reclaiming Pebbles also earns An Old Friend. Do it before risking the fort. The KCD2 Pebbles guide covers the exact stable route and Good Old Pebbles perk; the KCD2 Herring guide explains the later story alternative.

KCD2 Semine Wedding and The Jaunt

During the KCD2 Semine celebration, the KCD2 Myshka guide covers her private conversation, dance, and possible help with the pantry objective.

Completionists should finish Radovan's The Blacksmith's Son and The Jaunt before entering the wedding. The Jaunt follows a missing cart to KCD2 Semine and introduces Gules. Starting the wedding closes that route and therefore blocks Gules's connected tasks.

Explore KCD2 Semine, reclaim Pebbles, and finish available tasks before the wedding. Save before entering because the story temporarily locks Henry into several main quests.

KCD2 Semine Gules Quest Chain

After The Jaunt, Gules appears as a guard at KCD2 Semine and offers four tasks in order. Wait roughly two in-game days between completed tasks if the next marker does not appear.

Reference table

TaskObjectiveBest practical note
CankerBegin the KCD2 Semine chain and recover his macePrepare for a group fight
Handsome CharlieContinue the KCD2 Semine chain and return his capA successful dialogue can produce a one-on-one duel
Johnny the GobFollow the KCD2 Semine contract and recover the shieldSparing Johnny lets Henry keep the shield
CasperFinish the KCD2 Semine chain and return his ringBring strong armour, potions, and a sharp weapon

The KCD2 Semine bounty chain has two cutoffs: complete The Jaunt before the wedding, then finish the contracts before Necessary Evil or prevent the raid. Wait about two in-game days if the next task does not appear. Avoid old bug workarounds unless your current save actually exhibits the reported problem.

Finishing Casper gives Groschen, may let Henry keep Casper's ring, and unlocks Gules as a trainer for Swordsmanship, Unarmed, Thievery, and Stealth.

Other KCD2 Semine Quests

KCD2 Semine also holds Tibor during Miri Fajta; the KCD2 Marika walkthrough explains how to free him and continue the family quest.

Other KCD2 Semine content includes:

  • Magic Horseshoes: Guildsman Janek wants special horseshoes for a race. The task connects KCD2 Semine with the Nomads' Camp.
  • Wedding Crashers: The main wedding event uses most of the fortress and its residents.
  • Necessary Evil: This main quest can leave KCD2 Semine untouched, burned after an escape, or destroyed in a massacre.

Lower Semine Mill remains a separate location with Miller Kreyzl, brawling activities, and the alternative wedding route.

Save KCD2 Semine in Back in the Saddle

The cleanest KCD2 Semine outcome begins one quest before Necessary Evil. After investigating Nebakov during Back in the Saddle, von Bergow asks what Henry noticed. Do not volunteer that young Semine left his wedding early.

That earlier answer gives von Bergow a reason to suspect Olda. If you already mentioned it, try “Nobody helped the bandits here” during the later report; it may require a very hard Speech check. Improve Speech with suitable clothing, perks, and temporary buffs, or reload before the Back in the Saddle report for the reliable route.

To preserve KCD2 Semine, report the information needed to advance the investigation but keep Olda's wedding departure to yourself.

Should You Turn In KCD2 Semine in Necessary Evil?

No—do not turn in KCD2 Semine if you want the most content-preserving outcome. Henry and Hans only need the captive's useful lead that the bandits are at Nebakov. Speech and known evidence can obtain it without excessive violence; killing the captive costs reputation and is unnecessary.

For the best regional KCD2 Semine outcome:

Follow the steps

  1. Learn or confirm that the bandits are at Nebakov.
  2. When discussing the result with Hans, agree to keep quiet about KCD2 Semine.
  3. Tell von Bergow where the bandits are hiding.
  4. Choose “Nobody helped the bandits here.”
  5. End the report without naming Olda Semine.

Von Bergow then targets Nebakov. The KCD2 Semine raid never begins, the location remains available, and Silence is Golden unlocks. You can later tell Sir Jan that you protected his family. The story still continues into For Victory!, whose guide covers the feast preparations and unavoidable Nebakov ambush.

Every KCD2 Semine Raid Outcome

If von Bergow learns enough about Olda, he sends Burgrave Hashek and soldiers to KCD2 Semine. At that point you can still save people, but you can no longer keep the physical fort intact.

Reference table

Raid choiceImmediate resultKCD2 Semine result
Side with HashekHis troops kill defenders and civilians; Olda can be executedFortress burns and services are lost
Turn against HashekHenry and Hans fight von Bergow's soldiersFortress burns as cover; the KCD2 Semine family escapes
Side with Semine immediatelyHenry defends the residents from HashekFortress burns as cover; survivors flee
Ignore the departure timerHashek proceeds without HenryThe raid still happens

If the raid has begun, side with KCD2 Semine to protect its residents. The family burns KCD2 Semine as cover and escapes, so this is not the same as preventing the raid. When reporting back, let Hans maintain the cover story; confessing that Henry killed Hashek causes a game over.

The main story continues on every route. The local cost does not: when the fortress burns, its traders, trainers, stable services, and unfinished Gules tasks disappear.

KCD2 Semine FAQ

Can you stop KCD2 Semine from burning?

Yes. Hide Olda's wedding departure in Back in the Saddle, then report Nebakov without naming Olda in Necessary Evil. Preventing the raid is the only way to keep the fortress intact.

What if I already told von Bergow about Olda?

Try the later “Nobody helped the bandits here” Speech check. If it fails, reload the report at the end of Back in the Saddle and avoid mentioning Olda.

Should I side with KCD2 Semine or Hashek?

Do not turn them in if you want to preserve the fort and its content. If the raid has already started, side with KCD2 Semine to save the residents, knowing that the building still burns.

When should I finish the Gules quests?

Complete The Jaunt before entering the wedding, then finish Canker, Handsome Charlie, Johnny the Gob, and Casper before Necessary Evil. This avoids both missable conditions.

Can I get Pebbles after KCD2 Semine burns?

Do not rely on it. Reclaim or buy Pebbles from Groom Ballatay before Necessary Evil. Once the fortress is destroyed, its normal traders and stable services are gone.

Is Lower Semine Mill part of the fortress?

No. Lower Semine Mill is a separate nearby location run by Miller Kreyzl. It remains important for the alternative wedding route and combat activities, but it is not the KCD2 Semine stable or fortress.
