How to unlock the Judas achievement in Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Definitive Guide

There will be spoilers. You've been warned!


This achievement is kinda currently bugged on 1.2. If you've progressed past entering the Vranik camp and finding out who your father is, you can not talk to Olena on the Masquerade quest, which is the quest before Gallows Brothers and A Rock and a Hard Place. With that out of the way let's start at the beginning.

You will need to start the Quest "A Friend in Need" and follow through to Quest " Is A Friend Indeed" found by talking to Matthew and Fritz at the lodgings south of the Monastery. I'm not sure how early in the game you can start this quest, just keep an eye for a gold bullet point at this location on the map.

About two days in-game after you complete the above, you'll want to speak to the innkeeper in Ledetchko, and he should tell you about Matthew and Fritz and they left for the Inn at the Glade. Speak to them there and you'll start quest "Masquerade" and into "Besmirched"

After that I think you'll need to speak to Andrew, Matthew, and Fritz at the Inn at the Glade. Start with Matthew and you'll get the quest "A Rock and a Hard Place" Speak to Andrew about what he thinks about the job given by Matthew, and he'll suggest Turning them in to Robard in Talmberg, starting "Gallows Brothers"

Go back to Matthew and tell him that Andrew wants to turn them in, and then suggest to Matthew that you pin the robbery on Andrew.

From there, head to Talmberg, up the stairs to the top in the very south of the castle, to the hard locked chest. Pick it open and take out the gold for miners (3000). You'll have an empty sack under quest items, and the 3000 gold under other. See the video below:


Travel back to the Inn and place the empty sack on top of the barrel in Andrew's basement:


Travel back to Talmberg, and report all 3 Andrew, Matthew, and Fritz to Captain Robard. Travel back to the Inn and interact with the hanging bodies:


Completes both "Rock and a Hard Place", " Gallows Brothers", and unlocks the Judas achievement.

Do you have to complete Masquerade and Besmirched to reach rock and a hard place? I'm currently trying to find all this weird stuff to "look cuman"

^ Yes, and funny enough that Cuman stuff isn't even used on the following missions. But there is a pretty funny cutscene after finishing.

I'm trying to rack my brain if Masquerade and Besmirched were connected to each other, but I think I had to do both before I could start "A Rock and a Hard Place" and "Gallows Brothers".

My quest somehow bugged. I even reloaded previous saves before it was accepted and it refuses to work correctly. I have a feeling I need to just wait until they patch it. The issue for me is that there is no gold in the chest and the quest won't progress normally if I try to do what it wants. I have accepted both quests and each single quest and checked, and there is never any gold there. I eventually get to the point doing it normally where it wants me to tell Matthew the time, and there is no dialogue option to do so.

Also not working for me, no matter how much earlier I reload prior to the quest, the sack won't appear in inventory when I take the 3k money for miners.

Sick to death of how broken the game is now. Pointless playing.

Both quests relating to this achievement are currently broken because of a recent update. It really sucks, but they will probably fix it eventually. This stopped me from rushing the last kill achievements I needed and aiming for first completion on TA.

Completed the quest, but no achievement. I see the same happen to @Decaying Dead - but I also checked his achievements, and he got it the same day as he wrote that he didn't.. So either its a late popper, or he did something else?

You guys saying the achievement didn't pop, the same thing happened to me but if you actually look at the achievements you did unlock it, it just didn't give you the notification. At least that's how it happened for me.

This achievement is earned during the Side Quest 'Gallows Brothers,' which can be started in conjunction with 'A Rock and a Hard Place' at the Inn in the Glade, which is northwest of Neuholf and southwest of Uzhitz.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you take a Saviour Schnapps prior to speaking to Matthew and initiating this quest, as your actions can and will lead to to the deaths of certain characters, the failure of several quests and activities, a potential loss of reputation, and make you miss out on an achievement.

This achievement cannot be earned in conjunction with:
Kingdom Come: DeliveranceSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Kingdom Come: Deliverance worth 50 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement

In order to begin 'A Rock and a Hard Place, you must have already completed the quests 'A Friend in Need...' in Sasau and '...Is a Friend Indeed' at the Ledetchko Mill, followed by 'Masquerade' and 'Besmirched' at the Inn in the Glade.

1. Speak to Matthew at the Inn at the Glade and agree to participate in the Talmberg Quarry heist.

2. After having exhausted relevant dialogue with Matthew (and Fritz), speak with Andrew the Inkeeper and question him about his unwillingness to participate in the plot. Do not begin 'A Rock and a Hard Place without having spoken to Andrew first: completion of this quest without initiating 'Gallows Brothers' will prevent you from doing the quest and earning the achievement.

You can the inform Matthew of Andrew's scheme, and suggest that they turn the tables on Andrew instead.

At this point, you will ride to Talmberg to begin 'A Rock and a Hard Place.' There are multiple ways to complete this quest (with or without combat, making the heist more or less difficult based on your choices) - I have highlighted two of the simpler methods.

3A. (Stealth/No Combat): Ride to Talmberg and climb the stairs to where there is a Hard chest at the top of the keep. Steal the Quarrymen's wages and acquire the empty bag. Requires high lock picking skills. Ride to where Matthew and Quarry are stationed and split the take with them.

3B. (Heist/No Combat): Ride to Talmberg and speak to Captain Robard on the battlements. Pass the required Charisma and Speech skill checks to reduce the number of guards. Do not select the option to Snitch, as this will make your task more difficult and/or invalidate the achievement, should your friends be killed.

Go to the Talmberg Keep's courtyard and speak to the Stablemaster to find out more information for the heist. Pass the Horsemanship and Speech skill checks and agree to deal with the horses' colic problems. Then, ride to the nearby Herbalist in the forest northeast of Talmberg and choose the 'Poison' option, then purchase Poison from her. Return to the groom at Talmberg and give him the poison.

Take the road behind the castle to where Matthew and Fritz are positioned above the quarry. (You may wish to save here using a Saviour Schnapps, just in case). Share what you've learned with Matthew, and then agree to wait with them. The game will then wait the requisite five days.

Upon taking back control of Henry, do not speak with Matthew or Fritz. Instead, proceed to the quarry to begin the heist. Assuming you succeeded in reducing the guard presence, there will be only a few archers positioned around the perimeter of the worker's camp, and one infantryman patrolling by the fire. Note that only the worker's camp itself is a no-trespassing zone.

Enter the camp from the North and sneak into the hut closest to the bridge when the guard is not looking and no worker is nearby. Pick the Easy lock on the chest and retrieve the Quarrymen's wages and acquire the empty bag. Exit the camp stealthily and make your way to the clearing en route to Rovna where you will split the take with Matthew and Fritz. (Don't be greedy - your mates will attack you if you withhold their share of the wages.)

4. Having completed A Rock and a Hard Place, you can now return to the Inn in the Glade. (Consider saving here, if you want to save your progress from the heist, but not the consequences of 'Gallows Brothers'). Go to the basement, and place the empty sack on the barrels in the back room.

5. Ride to Talmberg, and speak with Captain Robard once more, telling him you know who committed the robbery. Select 'Andrew, Matthew, and Fritz.' You will note that this has resulted in the failure of any active quests and activities association with Andrew the Innkeeper.

6. Return to the Inn on the Glade, and interact with the hanging corpses of your oldest mates -- Achievement unlocked!

Now reload your save and try to forget about the horrible thing you just did.

To get access to the Gallows Brothers quest you must speak to Andrew after Matthew and Fritz tell you their plan to do the below small spoiler robbery. Once you have Gallows Brother active, which is the easy part to miss, the rest is simple and laid out in the quest.





*spolier*

Rob the quarrymen's pay shipment.

MISSABLE

You need to complete this quest before you do the main quest "The Die is Cast" or it will automatically fail. You can find your buddies Matthew and Fritz at Sasau near the Tavern. Talk to them and help them find work. This will start the quest "A Friend In Need...". Finish it and the next quest will start automatically after enough time passes. Then the following quests will either be obtained by talking to Andrew or Matthew at the Inn in the Glade. Keep working through the quest line until completed.

Then the following quests will either be obtained by talking to Andrew or Matthew at the Inn in the Glade. Keep working through the quest line until completed.

For the last two quests, talk to Matthew to start "A Rock and a Hard Place". After, talk to Andrew and you'll get the quest "Gallows Brothers". After obtaining the quest, go back and talk with Matthew and tell him that Andrew is planning on betraying him and then lay the blame on him. You'll then go to get the sack of coin, which is located in a Talmberg Watchertower, the one up the wooden stairs by the stables. The chest (hard) you want is in front of the ladder. After obtained, go back to the Inn and go to the basement and open the locked door and interact with the barrels there to place the sack. Go to Sir Robard and accuse Andrew, Matthew and Fritz of stealing it. Head back to the Inn and you should see three people hanging, check it out to finish the quest.

  • A Friend In Need...
  • ...Is a Friend Indeed
  • Masquerade
  • Besmirched
  • A Rock and a Hard Place / Gallows Brothers

WARNING: This quest has implications on the Friends without benefits trophy from the "From the Ashes" DLC. If you betray your friends, you will not be able to get that trophy so I suggest obtaining this trophy and then reloading an older save file.

You can get it.

We are mainly interested in the quest "Brothers on the Gallows". To gain access to it, we must take the quest from Matush “Wherever you throw it, there’s a wedge everywhere.” After he filled us in on the details of the plan and we agreed to help him, we go to Ondrzej and ask why he is not in the business. After a short dialogue, he will offer to hand over everyone to the captain of Talmberg and give the quest “Brothers on the Gallows”. After receiving the quest "Brothers in the Gallows" you need to talk to Matus and tell him that Ondzhey wants to turn them in. You agree that Ondrzej needs to be framed . The whole point is that you cannot complete the quest in the usual way (with the help of a full-fledged passage) and you have to look for workarounds.

1) Having two accepted quests in hand, we go to Talmberg, find the chest we need, break into (Hard) and steal money from there for the stonemasons. In addition to money, we also receive the quest item “Empty Money Bag” in our inventory, or something like that. Visually - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmrxneOPwWA

2) Next, we go back to the tavern, go into the basement of the inkeeper and plant evidence on him. Visually - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=G2xUYR9XxX4

3) We return to the captain in Talmberg and hand over all three of them. We return to the tavern, admire the hanged men and loot the trophy.

PS To gain access to the robbery quest, the following quests must be completed: “True Friend” “True Friends” “Masquerade” and “Damaged”. All of them are related to your friends and must be completed. You can start the chain of these quests in the tavern next to the monastery, where we meet them for the first time after the events in Skalitsa.

Patch 1.5 has been released, which means that you can finally get this trophy. For the first time, when completing this quest, I noticed that Matusz and Fritz had no armor, and therefore there would be no bag of money in the chest. After restarting the quest, I had them in armor. and I was able to complete the quest chain. I did it as in the tip above, everything worked out with the new patch

Even in version 1.9.2 there is a chance to fail this quest. So, after we helped Matusz and Fritsek in Sazva and the Monastery, they will settle in the tavern "On the Clearing", we help them with the quest about the Polovtsians and after some time Matusz will come up with a new plan to rob the quarry's cash register. We ask what and how, we find out the details of the robbery, then don’t forget to approach Ondrzej, he will offer you to hand over the boys, we agree and talk to Matus about this, he will offer to frame Ondrzej. Next we go to Talmberg, there, at will, we weaken or do not weaken the security of the quarry through the centurion Borek, then we talk to the groom, he will tell you that in 5 days the money will be delivered to the quarry, then you can poison the horses or not, they say they are sick, you need to go to the herbalist, I went, but didn’t touch the horses, I feel sorry for them (I did not poison and did not weaken the guard). We go to our friends, they are waiting for us on the cliff above the quarry, we wait 5 days (a line in the dialogue with Matush), then we ourselves, without these idiots, otherwise they might be killed, we rob the cash register (it is located in on the far right is the house of stonemasons, who stand in a semicircle, the castle is light, so there will be no problems). After the robbery, we meet with friends, give back part of the loot, then go to the tavern, put the bag of money in the basement, and then we go to Borek and hand over all three (before that, I recommend saving). Then we go back to the tavern, everyone is already hanging there three of us, interact with the corpses, the trophy is yours. Important - Ondzhey is an extremely important NPC, there are other quests tied to him, in particular about the hunter, if you kill him before you have completed the Master Hunter achievement, you can say goodbye to her until the next playthrough if you don’t have saves! And anyway, why? kill these fools, let them live)

The quest is taken from Ondřej (after “Masquerade” and “Damned”), the achievement is given if you pass all three. It’s better to save it separately, because the innkeeper will still be useful to us, and perhaps our friends too (and it’s kind of sad to look at their sour faces...)
