Katherine emerges as a pivotal side character in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and yes, you can indeed embark on a romantic journey with her. Here's a detailed guide on how to romance Katherine in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Katherine Romance Guide

Your initial encounter with Katherine happens early in the game, but unraveling her true identity and purpose takes time. Romancing her involves progressing significantly through the main storyline and completing specific side quests related to her. Below, I'll outline the key steps and choices you need to make.

The King’s Gambit

Your choices don’t significantly impact the game until you reach the main quest titled "The King’s Gambit." During this quest, you'll spend a night in Suchdol, where you'll have the opportunity to spend time with Katherine. In a scene where Katherine bathes you at Sigismund's camp, select these dialogue options to initiate flirting:

• “It’s different with you.”
• “What about a kiss for luck?”

Complete Side Quests for Katherine

After "The King’s Gambit," you must complete two side quests for Katherine in the Kuttenberg region: "The Fifth Commandment" and "The Stalker."

The Fifth Commandment

To initiate "The Fifth Commandment," speak with Katherine at the Kuttenberg tavern. She'll request your assistance in tracking down a serial killer. The quest is straightforward, but a crucial decision awaits at the end: allow Katherine to kill the serial killer instead of turning him in. This choice significantly boosts your relationship with her.

The Stalker

For "The Stalker," speak with Katherine again. Your task is to deal with a stalker harassing her. The objectives are clear, but you'll need to pass a Speech check to make him leave. Alternatively, you can bribe him with 200 groschen or resort to physical confrontation.

The Italian Job

Once you've completed these side quests, continue the main storyline until you reach "The Italian Job." Here, you'll need to rescue hostages before meeting Jan Zizka. Before speaking with Zizka, head to the courtyard and climb the stairs in the minting room to find Katherine. Engage her in conversation, compliment her, and then proceed with the quest.

Hunger and Despair

Finally, upon reaching the main quest "Hunger and Despair," you can fully romance Katherine. After fighting off soldiers and speaking with Zizka, find Katherine in the infirmary and choose this dialogue option:

• “I’ll bring help, and everything will be alright again.”

Subsequently, meet her at the ramparts to conclude the romance storyline with her.
