This guide details how to romance Katherine in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Note that this romance unfolds over a significant portion of the game, requiring progression through the main storyline and completion of several related side quests.
Key Steps & Decisions:
The King's Gambit: Early in the game, during "The King's Gambit," you'll spend a night in Suchdol. While in Sigismund's camp, Katherine will bathe you. Choose the flirtatious dialogue options: "It's different with you" and "What about a kiss for luck?" to initiate the romance.
Kuttenberg Side Quests: After "The King's Gambit," complete two side quests in Kuttenberg involving Katherine:
- The Fifth Commandment: Help Katherine track a serial killer. Crucially, let Katherine kill the killer instead of turning him in to maximize your romance progress.
- The Stalker: Deal with a stalker harassing Katherine. You can pass a Speech check, bribe him (200 Groschen), or fight him.
The Italian Job: Progress through the main quest until "The Italian Job." Before speaking with Jan Zizka, find Katherine in the minting room's upstairs courtyard. Compliment her before proceeding.
Hunger and Despair: In the main quest "Hunger and Despair," after the battle and speaking with Zizka, find Katherine in the infirmary. Select the dialogue option: "I'll bring help, and everything will be alright again." Finally, meet her at the ramparts to conclude the romance.
Following these steps will successfully complete Katherine's romance arc in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For further game tips and strategies, consult resources like The Escapist.
