Kingdom Come: Deliverance

This is likely to contain spoilers, and unlikely to be a full guide, but rather some observations during the quests and ideas on increasing reputation. At this point this seems highly missable, so keep that in mind. Skip to the bottom for the TLDR.

So to unlock this achievement, you'll need to raise your reputation to 80+ in the following locations:

Uzhitz
Monastery
Rattay
Neuhof
Sasau
Ledetchko
Talmberg
Skalitz
Merhojed
Samopesh

These were rep 0 for me and not required:

Rovna
Mill
Pribyslavitz
Vranik

I had 80+ in 8/10 locations when I decided to try and get this out of the way. The other two were:

Merhojed - about 74 overall, 100 with the soldiers and 49 with the villagers. This was after healing the village of the plague on that related quest.

Uzhitz - 53 overall, 53 rep with villagers. This was before doing the missing horse quest so I can't say how much completing that quest influenced rep.

I seemed to be stuck in Merhojed, so I did the only thing I could think of to raise reputation there. There is one Grocer and Horse Trader, so what you want to do is small transactions with both, and then through haggle you give them a full top up of gold everytime. So if you're buying a carrot at the grocer for 1.2 groschen, haggle and give them 1.5 groschen.

Your rep should increase with the grocer and horse trader 1-2 points per transaction. I did this until my rep with both was about 75 and traveled away to sleep/save the game. When enough time passed in the game, my rep rose from 49 to 71 with the villagers, 86 overall which was more than enough to be popular in Merhojed. I did the same in Uzhitz and upon waiting outside the town for about 8 in game hours the rep rose to 82 and the achievement unlocked.

The missable part in my opinion comes from the Monastery and the becoming a monk quest "Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience" and/or "Needle in a Haystack" which I believe is part of the main quest. If you've done this part of the game you'll know what I mean, very annoying. I did the quest the proper way as well as the side quests within the monastery that I could find, AND did it while keeping the schedule so you don't get thrown in jail in the monastery by either Circator after failing to do 3 tasks. I had 100 rep after doing the side quests, but being thrown in jail dropped it to the 70s which is too low to be popular. So you may have to play nice and complete side quests:

Scattered Pages
Nasty Habits
Libri Prohibti

while in the Monastery to maintain a high enough rep.

Alternately, raise your rep everywhere else and leave the Monastery quests until you've done that, and it hould make this whole part easier.

TLDR; Raise rep through "top-up" haggling (haggle and give them more gold with each purchase) with vendors if you have no other option to increase rep. Travel away after 8-10 top-up transactions and sleep/wait 8 hours.

Be careful with the Monastery and the quests within, maybe increase rep everywhere else to 80+ before starting the Monastery quests. Might be missable otherwise.

Acquire the Infamous Perk, that helps increase rep from low to high. Do not steal, pickpocket,murder or commit any crimes in an area you are trying to increase rep especially if you have the local hero perk as it will plummet.

This is for people who are quite far into the game and struggling to change a towns reputation. Every single trader you encounter has a different level of reputation with you, to see a traders reputation, click on Lets Trade and then where it tells you the value of the transaction you will also see thats traders reputation. Aim to get each trader to at least 75+. Increasing that reputation however is another thing.

Every solution I have read has said to make lots of small transactions and haggle in the traders favour, however I would do dozens of transactions and nothing would change that traders rep, then I thought screw it, I bought everything in the traders inventory and lo and behold the rep increased by 4 points, therefore I believe that it is the value of the transaction. I then sold eveything back to the trader and at haggle gave max back. In two transactions I increased the rep from 66 to 77. After playing around I believe the traders overall wealth impacts your rep, therefore doing large transactions and haggling in favour of the vendor really boosts your rep.

Go round each of the traders, and work on the ones with the lowest rep first, remember that horsetraders, bathhouses and innkeepers all have inventory to trade.

Secondly, some locations such as Rattay and Merjohed have a soldiers rep, the best way to increase this is by killing bandits/cumans in the area, eaither fast travel between areas or visit known camps, usually on the map they are marked by a smoke icon. Turn in bandit/cuman ears in the area you want to increase rep.

If you have the DLC to renovate Pribislavitz that makes this achievement much easier as you have a massive stream of disposable income.

Visit Bernard and do the quests to rid bandit/cumans. Also remember tht sometimes there are multiple traders in one shop, rember there are also market traders, traders wives etc. It can around 24 ingame hours for the overall town rep to change, so dint be discouraged if you change a couple of town traders rep but dont see an instant change to the overall rep.

Since last update (July I think), things have changed for this achievement. The top-up technique still works, but you now have to make massive transactions for the reputation to increase significantly. Also, personal reputation with traders seem to stop increasing after a certain point.

I would like to add some advices to the already-existant guide, because it's not very helpful anymore. I've spent 50 hours working just on King Charming and I hope I can help some of you.

First of all, the reputation needed is 81. At least for me it was the case, cause I got the achievement with these exact points :



- If you own the From The Ashes DLC, things will be a bit easier because you can afford to have a city with a low reputation since you'll have a "extra" city which is Pribyslavitz, where the reputation will be 100 as soon as you progress a little bit toward the DLC side-quest "Lost in the Woods".

- If you already finished the Monastery episode with a low rep AND if you didn't save Merhojed's people from the disease, then you may have to load a previous save (not 100% sure for Merhojed, maybe it's possible to get it to 81+ after not saving the people).
In my case, the grocer from Merhojed had disappeared from the village, so I was screwed for this town.

- Do side-quest to increase rep.

- You can reach 79 personal reputation with traders only by top-up gaggling. Maybe even more.

- When you haggle and top-up on a big transaction, you can earn 1 reputation for each 500 groschen. So if you top-up for a 1000 groschen transaction, you'll win 2 rep with the trader, etc, 6 rep for 3000 groschen, etc. See my tutorial on how to make money easily in early game at the end of the guide.

- Avoid killing people, because even if there is no witness, for some reason your reputation may drop. You can kill bandits and cumans but that's all as far as I know. Stealing in Rattay without getting caught in the Armorer's house had no impact on my Rattay reputation, luckily.

- For the city reputation to be updated you need to travel to another city and wait 24 hours (maybe less).

- Charisma doesn't count at all toward reputation, at least that is my understanding from my own experience. Playing dice doesn't seem to count either, and the same goes for giving money to beggars (not 100% sure for the latter).

- For Samopesh, which has no side-quest at all : Fast travel from Monastery to Samopesh and wait for Hold-up random event. If there are Cumans VS Guards, kill the cumans and if some guards (or a single one I guess) survive, you'll get almost +20 rep for Samopesh.

- Don't do a single side-quest which involves thieving, unless you have no other choice. Save before you steal and reload if the rep drops.

- I got the achievement without Infamous perk equiped, because I have been told it makes it more difficult to gain rep when your rep is already high.

- You'll have to have a lot of money if you want to increase your rep through top-up haggling after last update. If you’re on a new run, it may be very difficult to gather a lot of money quickly.
To make money easily, it's not very difficult. Here is a simple tutorial. See Spoilers below.



Another way to get easy money is to hunt (with a bow) boars. Take the boar meat on their corpses. Go to a eating pot and Cook them. Then, sell the cooked boar meat to innkeepers.

I tried to write the guide I myself wished I had found when I needed it, hopefully that helps !
