Where to find All Poachers for the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

After escorting Gamekeeper Vostatek back to his home after completing the Lackey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Vostatek will give you the follow-up quest Bird of Prey. For this quest, you'll need to know where to find several Poachers that are plaguing the nearby woods. Here is where you can find them all.

Where to find the Rocktower Pond Poacher

As your quest log for the Bird of Prey side quest indicates, you will want to wait until just before dawn or just after dusk to find the Poacher. If you look at the area indicated on the map above, the Poacher has a camp set up just inside the woods. You can either choose to wait nearby in the bushes by his camp and encounter him when he returns to camp, or you can head just south down towards the river and you will find the Poacher at the location indicated above.

Upon encountering the Poacher, he will tell you that food has been scarce and he's just trying to feed his family. You have the option of hearing him out, or arresting him and turning him in a Troskowitz as Vostatek demanded.

If you choose to hear him out, he will tell you about two potential deer hunting locations. However, if you do choose to arrest him, keep in mind the punishment in Trosky for poaching is death.

Regardless of your decision, return back to Vostatek to update him on the situation and progress the Bird of Prey quest.

Where to find the Vidlak Pond Poacher

For the next part of the Bird of Prey quest, Vostatek will indicate there is another Poacher by the nearby Vidlak pond. If you want some more information on tracking down this Poacher, you can speak to the tanner in the nearby town. He doesn't know anything about the Poacher, but if you exhaust his dialogue options, he will tell you about a nearby clearing that may be where the Poacher is hiding.

You can also choose to speak to the nearby fishermen, who will at first claim the tanner is the Poacher. However, after further inquiries, they will inform you have a hidden path behind their house that leads into the force, marked by strange Pagan idols.

Following these idols will lead to the same clearing, but if you continue further north, you will eventually come to another Poachers' Camp. This is where the Vidlak Poacher resides. Like before, you can choose to wait for him to return, or look nearby for him.

The Vidlak Poacher doesn't surrender as easily, and you will need to use either Speech or Dread to convince the Poacher to willingly come with you. If you fail either of these checks, the Vidlak Poacher will attack you when you try to rest him.

Once you deal enough damage to him he will surrender, at which point you can choose the option to arrest him and take him to the bailiff in Troskowitz. Just like with the previous Poacher, he will be sentenced to death for his crimes.

With the Vidlak Pond Poacher apprehended, report to Vostatek to continue the Bird of Prey quest. Vostatek has no more work for you but suggested speaking to the Gamekeeper in Nebakov, which you can find near the Nebakov Mill.

Where to find the Slatego Forests Poacher

Gamekeeper Varel at Nebakov Mill will task you with hunting down a Poacher in Stlatego Forests near Troskowitz. According to Varel, you can speak to the grave keeper near the area for more information, but he doesn't actually have any useful intel as to the Poacher's whereabouts.

Instead, head into Slatego Forest to the east of Troskowitz and you will find an abandoned cottage with another Poacher Camp southwest of it. If you have already completed the Mutt sidequest to get him back, you can have Mutt sniff out the scent of a Poacher's Knife found in the bag in this Poacher's Camp.

Even without Mutt, you can still find the location by following the trails of blood leading out of the camp. Ultimately, you want to end up at the location on the map above, to the west of the Poacher's Camp. Turns out the Poacher was attacked by wolves, which makes your job easy. Make sure you loot the Poacher's Hunting Knife off the corpse, as you will need it as proof of what you've found. Return to Gamekeeper Varel at Nebakov Mill to update him on the situation to complete this part of the Bird of Prey quest.

Where to find the Lower Semine Forests Poacher

Gamekeeper Varel will explain that this is the biggest Poacher yet, quite possibly more than one, that is responsible for clearing out entire forests. Head west to Lower Semine, specifically the Lower Semine Mill, and you can speak to Miller Kreyzl for more information on the Poachers.

Kreyzl informs you that the Poacher can be found somewhere in the middle of the woods south of the nearby lake. Head to that location, as indicated on the map above, and you will find a camp full of four Poachers. They cannot be reasoned with, so strategize your best way to handle a 4v1. If you're stealthy, you can take out one or two of them before alarming the others.

After defeating all four Poachers, make sure you loot them and their boxes around the camp for some free and valuable loot. Also make sure you interact with the Poacher's Evidence around the camp: the leather skins, and the gutted deer. These will complete this part of the quest, after which you can return to Gamekeeper Varel!

Where to find the Kopanina Forests Poacher

It's time for catch the final Poacher and complete the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2! Varel will inform you the final Poacher is the "Ghost Poacher", who can be found poaching in the Kopanina Forests north of Trosky Castle. Fast travel to Trosky Castle and head north to the road above Trosky Castle, where you will see a cliffside.

Near the cliffs you will find a sheltered area with a camp setup, as well as the "Ghost Poacher" who is none other than Hans Capon. Turns out Sir Hans has been Poaching since the prologue, as it's a great way to make some money. You can try to convince Hans to give up Poaching, but in typical Hans fashion, he doesn't care much for what you tell him. Tell Hans you need proof of finding him, and he will hand over some of his equipment to use as proof.

You now have two options: Tell Varel the truth, or lie and tell him you caught the Poacher by handing over Hans equipment.

If you tell Varel the truth, he will be angry at you, causing you to lose some reputation and resulting in the quest abruptly ending.

However, if you tell him you caught the Poacher by using Hans' equipment as proof, he will give you the following reward:

• 80 Groschen
• 1x Strong Aesop
• 1x Strong Bowman's Brew
• 3x Dried Deer Ribs
• 1x Marksman's Kit
• 1x Cobbler's Kit

You'll also receive Hans' equipment, and it is up to you what to do with it. Congratulations, you have completed the massive Bird of Prey quest!
