I think this Bad ending was the true ending . Historically speaking . Henry going all out as " John Luther " wouldn't have worked out in the middle ages . If they did catch you with that kinda shit : you were fucked , nothing could change that . The " johanka and boyfriend lived happily ever after ending " was too much disney .
@@roolio227 you are right and I love that KC did put such a dark but true ending to the story. I do however also love that there are 3 different endings and to be fair,they made it very hard to reach the good ending bc of that
To get the “bad” middle ground ending, you need to be a 10/10 lawyer, but fail to convince Johanka not to sabotage herself. To get the good ending you need to be a 9/10 lawyer and convince her to be good on trial. I think being a mediocre lawyer but getting her to be good also gets you the “bad” ending. Anything worse than being a decent lawyer and not getting her to be good on trial gets the worst ending.
@@antonioboscarino7808 you gotta go way out of your way to get it. You need to heal Matthias, then get him to give you his lucky dice. You may have had to play theresa’s a woman’s lot and gone with the dice theft as well, or at least helped them get together. To get the good Johanna ending takes a lot of effort. The most common ending is her being beaten and sent to a convent.
@@elyastoohey6621 yesterday, I did again the quest and I found out that I missed speaking with Matthias. After having convinced Johanka to be humble and not to attack the church I even got the good ending.
The bad and worst ending is such a great silhouette for the upcoming Hussite War. I really look forward to Jan Hus in KCD2 if they really going for the Hussite Uprising era.
@@elang1702 That would be cool to see. However, if Jan Hus dies in Kingdom Come 2, it won’t be long before Radzig Kobyla dies too. He dies a year after Jan Hus’ death. Poor Henry.
@@elang1702no joke! I’ve been watching a lot of history on the Hussite wars, and it will serve as an EXCELLENT backdrop for KCD2. The setting is going to be so rich for superb storytelling. I’m so proud of Warhorse. A small kickstarter studio somehow able to create work of this quality.
Look at the executioner standing on the platform, as his gaze on the crowd meets henrys gaze, and the executioner turns his head slightly in response, THAT is an absolute masterpiece of dramatic scene.
I love that added detail because I did all of Hermann's quests so their practically mates and Hermann here gives a look to Henry like he knows it's fucked up
Heresy was much more serious crime because you can repent for murder, but if you are a heretic you condemned your soul and others to eternal damnation. Also she is a woman inedieval times sooo..
Heresy is a "crime" against the Church's authority, whereas manslaughter and burglary are just crimes against other poor folks the Church couldn't care less about.
@@huseyinsekerciler5344 the church was in those times what BlackRock and the Economic Forum are today . It controls everything , from what is traded to what people believe
As laughable as it is, it is true, if you challenge or endanger those who rule you get much worse punishment than for killing "worthless peasant" mind you those at the top couldn't care less for the god, most prolly knew it's bs they just worried about their power, that's also why certain Jan Hus is mentioned in the game as he met his fate for questioning this exact thing Even today for example money... sometimes people get much harsher sentences for stealing, printing money or manipulating the market than for killing someone
@5G EQUALS CORONA VIRUS practically convince her to renounce her conviction to avoid the worst ending and to do that talk to her boyfriend who will wake up while she’s in prison and he will give you a die to convince her to stop. Though to get the perfect ending you will have to make sure your good points are higher then bad. So yes no last round,don’t berate the lord guy who speaks on her behalf, and disprove the bitch that calls her a heretic, and there’s one other thing I can’t remember but I think its to have other speak on her bahalf. Get enough good points and you’ll get the perfect ending. Fucking Church
I was honestly the most tense I had ever been in any game during this mission. I was so sure I had buggered it up so many times until the final verdict. Luckily I got the best ending but the entire time it felt like there was a rock in the pit of my stomach because I had kinda egged her on, therefore I had thought I had sealed her fate. Truly one of the best quests in a severely underrated classic.
Same! The end of the trial is maybe the best cutscene in the game. The music, the terrific inquisitor, the music, the speeches, the "camera" work, the MUSIC, everything made it so intense and thrilling!
The next morning was busy for Sasau bailiff as he had reports that both swordsmith' and armourer's families were found dead: poisoned by their breakfast. Cuman spies were blamed as this crime certainly had no other motives as to weaken city's defences. Unfortunately father Fabian died as well as he had a habit of eating in armourer's household. Hermann the executioner's body was found much later and nobody knew exactly when his throat was slit. As he lived far away from people, nobody was surprised at his death as it were darker times.
Dude. How could you possibly blame Herman of anything that happened? It's literally how he makes his living and if he didn't do it,they'd hire someone else. And someone who's unexperienced with executions would probably make her suffer even more,while struggling to rip her tongue out or overdoing the scourge,while not being able to control his temper or emotions (especially if it was someone from the bishops guard,executing the sentence)
after a few weeks the bishop was surprisingly found dead in his own chamber. nothing got stolen except some saviour schnaps and gold. some guards suspect poisoned soup. priests say it was gods punishment....
@@Julian-jg3jl The wife of the blacksmith is exactly where she's supposed to be in the same shop you went to speak to try to convince her to testify, you just need to go there at night. I hacked the whole lot of them up while they slept and then the blacksmith magically woke up later to go downstairs to his trunk totally unaware I was standing right behind him and hacked him up again. If my Johanka couldn't live, then neither could they and it was all that Blacksmith's wife's doing. This was the most grim scene I had to endure in the game, I didn't think it would get much worse than the butchering of Henry's parents right at the beginning of the game, but guess that was just a warm up.
@@Robespierre-lI Exactly what I did but apparently she was not killable. Got away with murdering the shop guard and beating her unconscious multiple times tho.
Its neat to see this in game especially the conversations with Godwin because you are sort of seeing the embers that will become Martin Luthers reformation in its infancy.
or rather, the Hussite movement in the case of Bohemia, the 30 year war is 200 years in the future, the Hussites will rise up only a few years later, possibly in KCD2
@@ghost963cz The Hussite movement was sort of the proto reformation and it was stomped out eventually but both movements had the same complaints and wanted pretty much the same reform
To save her you MUST talk to Matthias right before the trial (he'll tell u to have her admit she was wrong), he is laying in bed in the Monestary infirmary and he gives u dice that u give to her.
I did this and it did not give me the best ending where she is freed. She was whipped and shipped off to a convent in my playthrough as i missed a few other things.
lol, after running around talking to so many people, all it takes is one conversation with Matthias. "Tell her I'm well up for a shag after the trial, that will change her mind!"
The same, i had the bad ending. I slept with the prostitute and i bribed the guard to talk with johanka. So.. i think why went wrong...But its okay, not all have good endings and i have done all i would have at a real situation (except sleep with prostitute xD only i was trying whats going to happe and i saw that all matters at the end)
@@Feather_vic I slept with Adela too, it really depends if you can convince her in the jail. I even screwed up two times at the judge trial twice but it all ended good actually
Lol I was a devote Christian and the only sin I did commit was steal from the Inquisitor and not tell him of the sins of Godwin, cause he's my bro. That is the only way to get things done and make Johanka free.
I did do that and she still got whipped and sent away i guess its because i failed the last speech check before the cutscene? Or maybe i didnt get thr book from godwin?
I never thought I could kill a whole town's worth of people in KCD but my revenge on Sasau left me with a sliver of health and an entire city of corpses.
This is officially my favorite DLC out of all the Kingdom come deliverance has to offer. I simply wanted to heal Mattias hoping once he’s healed I can buy a new horse but I never expected on going on a holy crusade, repenting, being a 10/10 lawyer and detective all in one session. I was so engrossed in the story I stayed up all night playing it.
I got the "bad" ending but it's ok for me. I did my best to help her and she always keep trying to be punished :/ At the end, i was thinking "ok you are dead, and its because of you". Finally, she's alive and Matthias too so... its a "good" ending for me i guess. edit: All was fine, I simply didnt talk to matthias.
The key to get good ending (i think you need to complete at least 4 of these 5) 1: not sleep with prostitute Adela 2: Do the pilgrimage and get the manuscript Godwin gave to you and read it. 3: dont bribe the guard to talk to Johanka, should steal document from inquisitor's room and show to the guard 4: Faild persuding Johanka against church, then get Matthias dice and persude her again. 5: Get all testimonies (Caught blacksmith's wife lying)
Thanks for the update. All true, but I do think there is a sliding scale. ie I bribed the guard but still got good ending. Not as a game issue, but a historical one, unless she recants she's doomed, an Inquisitor would never allow a FEMALE preacher to continue to defy the church. Historically, Inquisitions either ended in automatic guilt (not the case here) or a demand for recanting. A live repentant is always better then a dead martyr after all. And for that it appears you need to get the dice. Odd though that the best evidence in her favor is never mentioned, the murderer. She had a dream, told Henry who followed it up and found a murder. That's an example of something she couldn't know having real world truth. A few of those and you might get Sainthood.
@C Jones and @Joshka Fishers So bribing the guard is not the key factor. I thought it was, cause if bribed the guard, the inquisitor will point that out. I thought it would affect the ending.I will change that.
I love the part that after the good ending, you can talk to Sir Radzig and get the job for Matthias and they will move to Rattay in winter. It's like they finally can have a future after suffered so much.
@@artruisjoew5473 "Hey, Henry's come to see us! Jesus Christ be praise- *ARGLEBLARGLE!*" Henry: "My chief weapons are surprise, a masterstrike, and way too many potions. I'm feeling quite hungry."
@@gerwantofrivera3725 there was, I remember that everytime the papal state got into bad relationships with the emperor, the empire started working with all important religious matters on their own without reporting to the pope, sometimes they would try to take all religious power in a newly Christianisted kingdom and it led to war over who gets to be a religious head of the kingdom, those kingdoms or whatever that failed to get the pope as their religious head were mostly turned into a part of the empire, it all ended when after centuries the empire have lost the control over Italian region, they basically stopped beeing Roman after that since even the papal state left the empire for good, but that didn't matter that much since most of the empire was protestant already
@@ignaerium487there was nothing like the "german" inquisition because spain was the only kingdom that has the right to have its own. The Rest was the papal inquisition
After her tongue is cut off, if you talk to the guy who pressured her into sleeping with him, he asks you if she'll still be able to perform oral sex with no tongue.
I've got a better one. What if there's a very talented modder. Who can mod or make henry decendent from the future that look exactly like henry. Equipped with futuristic plasma minigun and one if those futuristic power armor that comes with an energy force shield to defend from any incoming arrows or melee attacks.
Dammit. I made Henry use his 1000 IQ as a lawyer but Johanka messed everything up. Got bad ending. After killing every people of sasau and monastary the soldiers respawned and are in large number. sometimes 6-7 soldiers inside eachother 😄. so coudnt talk to johanka
I got the worst ending but it’s the one I prefer. I literally starting crying. She was a saint, a true Christian and sadly died a martyr. Johanka was too good for this world and hopefully found peace with Matthias in the kingdom of heaven.
Found the worst ending properly emotional. So much so that I reloaded the past few hours of gameplay, a length of time I rarely redo, and redid the whole quest.
@@Max1990Power Agreed. Under different circumstances I would do it a lot later too, but it hit me hard enough that I wanted my main savegame to have the best ending
@@gabrielberger7439 i understand. I hope that for KC 2, act 3 that you can keep the progress for your henry. Will be interesting to see how warhorse going to do this. How to finish henrys story but at the same time keep this world alive for future games. I hope we soon will get some news about the next game. At least once the last project for this edition is finished, the mods.
@@Max1990Power I haven't even explored mods yet, I've been enjoying the vanilla game so much (only really got into it in March, so I'm a relative late-comer). Carrying saves over to KC2 would be nice, even if it's just your inventory of it's set in a different province.
I'm disappointed you didn't kill everyone involved. I got the "good" ending, but it ticked me the wrong way and came here to see if I missed something. Did anyone tried to kill the inquisitor or demand a trial by combat (I remember it was an option in the dialog with the inquisitor)?
Yes, it's a nice picture of what an inquisition court really looked like and where the accused isn't tortured all the time to hear a confession so that he can then be burned.
There is a worse ending: When you meet the inquisitor, tell him the church is useless and serves only itself. Then you both suffer the same worst ending lol. You don't see it, you only get an end game screen, but it's there. Also, anyone else decided that bitch of a swordsmith wife needs to go down?
I mean, Johanka is probably the person in the game I hate the most. I mean I know what she has been through, but she is always judging me that I dont do enough when I am clearly the only one who helps her.
Yeah I was conflicted during this quest. She was clearly acting proud and delusional, and I say that as a Christian. She didn't deserve to die, though. She just needed a good wakeup call and to repent.
Doing a blind playthrough in 2023, I started the game thinking it was a solid 7/10 with good combat, an excellent world, great characters and immersive quests. Met Father Godwin and used a manual save I've still not overwritten because whenever I feel low I go back and do the quest again elevating the score to a 8/10. Then as I was sneaking in a village, a guard saw me and said "What's the matter laddie, need to shit?". That sent me into a laughing fit and my personal score to a solid 9/10. But, as soon as Johanka's trial verdict started and the somber operatic background music kicked in, I realized, this is a 10/10 masterpiece.
The worst ending was the true good ending. Johanka bending the knee and admiting false guilt is far worse than her martyrs death. This DLC was fantastic, and yes, a few citizens of Sasau went...missing after the execution.
Meh to me it seems like Johanka really got prideful there at the end and honestly she did become a heretic. If she really believed in the teachings of the Catholic Church, then a Bishop is always on the right by definition.
@@lucatr9894 Im this context I tend to agree. She didnt consult anyone in authority and just ran off doing what she pleased. Its not as if the church isnt potentially interested in miracles as they have many previously documented incidences. Even in one of the alternate endings the Bishop seemed to believe her but had issues with her presumptions and arrogance.
@@hithere8753 Yes, the Bishop is absolutely right when he says that not just anyone should shout in the streets about God's will and how he or she interprets it. It does genuinely take years of study, practice and humility to truly internalize and understand the teachings of the Bible, that's why we have the Church, to guide us in that endeavour.
@@vaarkobke3102 I hope you guys are sarcastic or making fun of this, because otherwise pls go fy... the christian religion is one of the worst things of mankind....
@@Neomanu90 Yeah, I can see why you'd hate a religion that tells you that there's more important things that you have a duty to than your personal pleasure.
Given the personality of the inquisitor as an honest sort while also being an enforcer of orthodoxy, I found the worst ending a bit lacking on his part. When he is alone in the church with Johanka, he could have said something to the effect of: "Yes, I know there is a lot of corruption in the Church, but that doesn't imply that its theology is wrong, or that you know better".
She was so fucking lucky that the inquisitor was a good guy at heart who took his duty very seriously or she would have been burnt in the stake or first tortured with the many tools reserved for heretics, and there were many of them
I got the second ending shown in the vid, all I was missing to get the first ending was to convince Johanka to admit it all, otherwise I brought everyone I could in defence of her and spoke about *EVERYTHING* and I’m satisfied with it but since I have the saves I am going to go get the first ending shown in the vid
Just played through this quest and got the 'bad' ending, which was horrible and a great relief at the same time. Left me in a state of shock, the most immersive quest I've played.
Why are they still on about what what the remaining NPC left alive of Old Skalitz should do after it has been burn by the war..We Literally have a TOWN,like we did for Matthew and Fritz why not sending our people there too?..I mean those people are literally eating dirt in Rattay and Sausa while we bailiffing a fresh new town in NEED of subjects
Sir Divish, when pribyslavitz is rebuilt mentioned that he has plans to expand the village. Hopefully in KC 2 this means adding the remaining refugees from Skaliz.
@@Max1990Power In KC 2, the story will be different and there will be other Czech cities. I believe the story will be about Sir Han Capons son: Heinrich (Hynce of Pirkštejn)
@@suckplay6674 I mean, the story is (how do I say this in English) open and uncompleted (?). The main quest from the beginning to the end says "get the freaking sword". So why would they screw it and do something completely different?
I finally sat to the DLCs now,to return to the beautiful world of KC:D almost 3 years after playing it for the first time on the premiere. Johanka's thread was the first thing that I took up (well,after the whole "From The Ashes" questline) and suddenly I remembered what made me love the base game's story so much. I got the bad ending and personally I absolutely loved the bitter-sweetness of it. And the fact how the ending sequence was directed plays a huge part in that. I mean in the cutscene you can see a sword right behind Herman,so my initial thought was that I messed it up completely and got her beheaded in the process. Also the sheer presence of Herman so a character I remembered from the very beginning of the game and whom I really like and the way he notices Henry was just priceless,'cause suddenly I also remembered the tragism of his own character and his rejection from the society. Once the sentence has been executed I felt relieved that it's basically the end and that it just ended on the scourge and that everything will be ok from now on. And then the imprisonement of Johanka in the monastery hit and the broken relationship of 2 lovers and that just made my jaw drop to the ground. It's been a while since a game I played put me on such a rolercoaster of emotions ngl
I got worst ending. But i load my save, and kill inquisitor Jaroslav. Its game over, "after Henry kill Jaroslav he tried to run awan, but get cought and hanged. Johanka also died" something like that
The key to get good ending (i think you need to complete at least 4 of these 5) 1: not sleep with prostitute Adela 2: Do the pilgrimage and get the manuscript Godwin gave to you and read it. 3: dont bribe the guard to talk to Johanka, should steal document from inquisitor's room and show to the guard 4: Faild persuding Johanka against church, then get Matthias dice and persude her again. 5: Get all testimonies (Caught blacksmith's wife lying)
@@wolftooth123 hmm what about my current story, i made a serious progress on main story after that part. Can i just make everyting perfect and keep playing where ever i am now? Sorry if i couldnt express myself well
@pelinsu ayaz sorry to tell you this ,but you cant. once you get their ending, you can never change it . But they are not in the main story mission so their death will not affect how you play the game. It just you will never see them again.
Dam... I got her killed...lol But I tried... it was very sad. I left this quest for last, even after I finished all the others, including the main story. And it was a very strong ending. Playing on ps4 was very painful because of the long waiting screens and infinite bugs, but it was worth it, great game. Hope to play the sequel on ps5 without bugs. All hail Henry the future King. Ps: after this quest, I went to sasau church and killed the priest Fabian. It felt good.
in my country Saint Boniface was killed by angry farmers who didnt like to be forced catholisism down their throat ,so when people where killed by the church ,they killed the leader and all clerks and took back their livelyhood ,later also was discovered this area was a place where vikings lived and bred with locals ,so that might explain some of the bravery in their genes .(very interresting topic to see the trail of Vikings all over the world ) after playing this game i can feel the urgency they must have had to put a stop to that religious nonsense and killing of innocent farmers and common folk
bassax7045 haha I am a Viking and I am proud of my ancestors going after the corrupt church though I’m a Christian myself. I don’t like those in the church who are full of lust and greed
@@bassax7045 Saint Boniface was actually set upon by armed robbers. He told his company that was defending him to lay down their weapons whilst in Frisia. He was trying to convert people, and he made his company lay down their weapons because he felt that they could only overcome evil with good. When they killed him and his defenceless company they ransacked his possessions including some of his books, which they burned, because they were actually after golden objects like vessels/goblets and crosses. True enough, they did have the same motives and the same behaviour as most "Vikingr" raiders did from 793-1066 AD. 😂
I knew it was a bad idea to band Adela, forgot about Father Godwin's papers, tried to bribe the guard, and didn't talk to Mathias because there's no way to know that he had woken up I guess I deserved the worst ending
I have absolutely opposite problem and opinion compare to everybody else here... i got the good ending but i wish for bad ending which seems the best to me. In good one Johanka deny what she belives in, lie and do not criticize the corruption of catholic church to survive. In bad ending she will not let herself to be intimidated by threats of an inquisitor, keep in her faith and openly criticise corruption of church and face martyrdom with pride. That reminds me a lot czech church reformer Jan Hus who was actually active during same time as is the game period and few years later his fate was quite similar in this... that made Bohemian folks lot angry and resulted in massive revolt against catholic church called Hussite wars. (Im sure we gonna see more about him and his followers in next part of KCD)
I didnt pay the bailif for the testemony (but got all others) cause i thought it would bite me in the arse but paid the guard(which bited me in the arse xD) and I didnt get good ending, I guess bailif testemony is determinant:/ , kinda liked it and looked realistic she was sent to convent but left me sad :( good story telling
Nope, I didn't pay the bailiff and got the good ending. I didn't pay the guard, but knocked down the inquisitor and took the permit. My guess is that the main points are not killing anyone, finish the three sub-quests quests, make sure you donate all the money in the name of the guy (I donated it for the poor to the church, but in retrospective probably giving the money to the bailiff could have been a better option), don't sleep with Adela, do the pilgrimage and of course convince Johanka.
I saved her my first playthrough, but it was in spite of Johanka's every desire lmao. It was so much work and she didn't seem like she truly wanted to recant, so the second time I played it, I just let her die.
This quest really touched me for some reason i really loved it but i got tge worst ending and i feel like i just lost someone in real life🤔 saddest video game death to me
The more dangerous you become to the church / the better you play, the worse the outcome. I had the worst outcome, and not many games manage me the shed a real tear. But I did here. Somehow this ending reminds one of Valiant Hearts. People intend good, but end up being called evil.
I like how the Inquisitor is not a stereotype of a bad guy. He actually wants Johanka to be saved but will do what he has to according to church law if she is found guilty.
A lot of you talk about how you got the worst ending and sought revenge by killing every monk in the monastery. It makes sense that you miserably failed the quest if you have such futile reaction.
I killed the swordsman's wife Katra before the trial. Next day she just waltzes in a testifies, but gets shot down anyways as she is driven by jealousy. Still got the bad ending though, cause I chose not to use Guta's and Adela's testimony, thought I had it in the bag.
There is no good ending. It’s just bad, worst, and then absolutely god awful. Either way she has to tell people she was wrong, and be renounced by the public, or be tortured and renounced by the church anyway, or be tortured, renounced by the church, and then have her tongue cut out for sticking to her truth. Crazy to think the church actually did stuff like this too.
It wasnt too common there is only like 3000-5000 physical punishments during 300 years of inquisition the peoples were told 10-30 days before Inquisition came to them and they can every time escape punishment by just saying sorry. It was diffrent times back then this was necessary evil bcs there was no Internet or mass production of books so these false preachers was really dangerous back then for church and people
My hypocritical opportunist Henry managed the good ending, just as planned; though to be fair Johanka was a childhood friend, it made sense for him to help even if he didn't really believe her and just said what he felt she wanted/needed to hear. You don't HAVE to RP a "good" Henry for the good ending; you can also go with someone so utterly self-serving that they'd do the right things even if for the wrong reasons.
Took me 3 tries to get the good ending. I got the bad ending the first 3 times. I did get the dice from Mathias. But I didn't confront the custodian before the trial but called him out durring. Steal the inquisitioner's papers and show them to the guard. And not sleep with Adela
One thing I dont understand. Why the narrator of endings is young Henry, not the old one from intro, which would have more sense if we are talking about continuity?
I think perhaps because he is narrating the outcome of the event shortly after it's happened, whereas with older Henry he is recanting the entire tale of his life. If you think about it, it's technically old Henry narrating young Henry who's narrating himself, in a sense.
I fucked it up the first time and got the worst ending. Sasau suffered by the hand of henry in revenge. I grabbed my axe and in blood rage killed all the monks and ppl who stood for Johanka's death and anyone who tried to stop me met a similar fate, for now, they're also responsible for the death of Henry's close childhood friend, Matthias.
I got the worst ending. At the same time that is the most realistic one, and my Johanka turned into a martyr. In my mind she put into motion what would be the start of the hussit wars. But it was a sad ending. Lucky for me, as an tolkien fan and reader of Silmarillion i am used to see my heroes die. I am not gonna watch this video because i want to figure out for myself how to get the good ending.
Yeah I remember the first time I read about the death of Fingolfin last High King of the Noldar. It was a really heroic and sad death. Tolkiens way of telling stories really tugs at my Heartstrings.
Anti-Hero Meng John Lee an Inquisitor was a high Church Official, basically in charge of Groups of Catholic Soldiers, so killing him (and all murder back then really) would result in death
I loved how, in the Good Version, the Inquisitor believes that Johanka truly saw the Virgin Mary and was only getting ahead of herself. It shows that, while Johanka was a good and faithful person, she was also human, and prone to mistakes. 10/10 All three endings had me crying 😢
It also reflects that the church was actually open to dialogue, as long as it follows their scholastic principles. This was the main difference between her speech in ending 1 and 2. in ending 1, she followed the churches doctrine. This route could actually lead to Johanka being a saint.
I had to restart a few things cuz i almost did everything right my mistake were: slept with adela and told the monestary the money was from me. I corrected pavel's mistake who put out an extremely good word for johanka and that's about it, you can get away with the adela mistake.
Hated the quest design tho especially the one where you have to wander around the map searching for freakin flowers in the dark with Cumans everywhere around 💀
@@Matth_M I hated that quest. Great story, but the way it had to be played was... frustrating. Then again being a 15th century peasant woman in the middle of an area being looted post-invasion might be a tad frustrating I guess x)
The trial cutscene was the most nail-biting sequence in the game. My heart sank when I saw Hermann there thinking I fucked up big time but luckily still got the good ending.
What’s sad is the worst ending is probably the most accurate. It’s also kinda sad considering the shit Henry has/can do to the church, nobles or whatever we don’t have some option to outright save her while she continues to preach. Like how many previous missions took place where we are given the option to help someone escape from dire consequences
If anyone sees this I am putting this down immediately after getting the good ending I finally got it after getting Johanka to speak with Humility. Make sure to go to Matthias so he can help Johanka do just that when he gives you his dice. He is in the room with all the Skalitz wounded in a bed on your right side when you enter
I always felt like Henry would do something stupid instead of stand back and watch, it's against his nature. He must have really been as fed up as we were with Johanka
I went in blind and tried my best. Did not get the good ending and it's been a long time since I felt brokenhearted by something that happened in a game, because I genuinely felt partially responsible.
One of the best story lines in the game. Such a great cutscene, it was really tense and I was trying to do my best to safe her. when I saw the executioner there I got scared. Got bad ending on my first playthrough.
I got the worst ending, so i killed every killable npc in town and monastery (except the people who helped), then loaded and made things to get the good ending (i didn't know at that moment you can talk with Matthias, that clearly made difference).

The best DLC of KC:D
I think this Bad ending was the true ending . Historically speaking .
Henry going all out as " John Luther " wouldn't have worked out in the middle ages .
If they did catch you with that kinda shit : you were fucked , nothing could change that .
The " johanka and boyfriend lived happily ever after ending " was too much disney .
@@h0nza_ i liked from the ashes as well , especially because my henry didn't need to take grinding holidays to Skalitz anymore .
@@roolio227 that’s why there are three possible endings.
@@roolio227 you are right and I love that KC did put such a dark but true ending to the story. I do however also love that there are 3 different endings and to be fair,they made it very hard to reach the good ending bc of that
When you were a 9/10 lawyer but Johanka decides you deserve the worst ending
To get the “bad” middle ground ending, you need to be a 10/10 lawyer, but fail to convince Johanka not to sabotage herself.
To get the good ending you need to be a 9/10 lawyer and convince her to be good on trial.
I think being a mediocre lawyer but getting her to be good also gets you the “bad” ending.
Anything worse than being a decent lawyer and not getting her to be good on trial gets the worst ending.
OP, that's literally what just happened to me... I wasn't expecting that
@@elyastoohey6621 I personally did not have the dialogue option to convince Johanka not to sabotage herself.
@@antonioboscarino7808 you gotta go way out of your way to get it.
You need to heal Matthias, then get him to give you his lucky dice.
You may have had to play theresa’s a woman’s lot and gone with the dice theft as well, or at least helped them get together.
To get the good Johanna ending takes a lot of effort.
The most common ending is her being beaten and sent to a convent.
@@elyastoohey6621 yesterday, I did again the quest and I found out that I missed speaking with Matthias. After having convinced Johanka to be humble and not to attack the church I even got the good ending.
Such an incredible DLC. This is why KCD is one of my all time favorite games ever, and I cannot wait until warhorse’s second installment.
amazing side quest one of the best games of this gen.
The bad and worst ending is such a great silhouette for the upcoming Hussite War. I really look forward to Jan Hus in KCD2 if they really going for the Hussite Uprising era.
@@elang1702 That would be cool to see. However, if Jan Hus dies in Kingdom Come 2, it won’t be long before Radzig Kobyla dies too. He dies a year after Jan Hus’ death.
Poor Henry.
@@John-996it really is
@@elang1702no joke! I’ve been watching a lot of history on the Hussite wars, and it will serve as an EXCELLENT backdrop for KCD2.
The setting is going to be so rich for superb storytelling.
I’m so proud of Warhorse. A small kickstarter studio somehow able to create work of this quality.
Look at the executioner standing on the platform, as his gaze on the crowd meets henrys gaze, and the executioner turns his head slightly in response, THAT is an absolute masterpiece of dramatic scene.
Justice for our man Hermann
I love that added detail because I did all of Hermann's quests so their practically mates and Hermann here gives a look to Henry like he knows it's fucked up
Johanka: *preaches*
Priests: HERESY!
Henry: *multiple manslaughter and burglary*
Priests: lol 10 days prison it okei
Heresy was much more serious crime because you can repent for murder, but if you are a heretic you condemned your soul and others to eternal damnation.
Also she is a woman inedieval times sooo..
Heresy is a "crime" against the Church's authority, whereas manslaughter and burglary are just crimes against other poor folks the Church couldn't care less about.
@@lucatr9894 welllll, isn't that convenient?
@@huseyinsekerciler5344 the church was in those times what BlackRock and the Economic Forum are today . It controls everything , from what is traded to what people believe
As laughable as it is, it is true, if you challenge or endanger those who rule you get much worse punishment than for killing "worthless peasant" mind you those at the top couldn't care less for the god, most prolly knew it's bs they just worried about their power, that's also why certain Jan Hus is mentioned in the game as he met his fate for questioning this exact thing
Even today for example money... sometimes people get much harsher sentences for stealing, printing money or manipulating the market than for killing someone
Worst ending was probably the most impactful.
Definately.
Joke: I think she'll manage
@5G EQUALS CORONA VIRUS practically convince her to renounce her conviction to avoid the worst ending and to do that talk to her boyfriend who will wake up while she’s in prison and he will give you a die to convince her to stop. Though to get the perfect ending you will have to make sure your good points are higher then bad. So yes no last round,don’t berate the lord guy who speaks on her behalf, and disprove the bitch that calls her a heretic, and there’s one other thing I can’t remember but I think its to have other speak on her bahalf. Get enough good points and you’ll get the perfect ending. Fucking Church
Yeah ...that is some serious game of thrones shit !!
@@heyjoji1954 bless the church.
I was honestly the most tense I had ever been in any game during this mission. I was so sure I had buggered it up so many times until the final verdict. Luckily I got the best ending but the entire time it felt like there was a rock in the pit of my stomach because I had kinda egged her on, therefore I had thought I had sealed her fate. Truly one of the best quests in a severely underrated classic.
Agreed
Same! The end of the trial is maybe the best cutscene in the game. The music, the terrific inquisitor, the music, the speeches, the "camera" work, the MUSIC, everything made it so intense and thrilling!
I did everything perfectly with all witnesses and successful speeches and got the bad ending wtf am i suppose to do
You probably didn’t convince her to be humble. It’s been a year so I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore though.
The next morning was busy for Sasau bailiff as he had reports that both swordsmith' and armourer's families were found dead: poisoned by their breakfast. Cuman spies were blamed as this crime certainly had no other motives as to weaken city's defences. Unfortunately father Fabian died as well as he had a habit of eating in armourer's household.
Hermann the executioner's body was found much later and nobody knew exactly when his throat was slit. As he lived far away from people, nobody was surprised at his death as it were darker times.
lol , we are very like minded , good job , it's a job well done
So you kill them ?
I wish I had a chance to do something about the Inquisitor too
Hermann is a bro. He is unsensitive about executioning but in the end that is his job. He is guilty of nothing
Dude. How could you possibly blame Herman of anything that happened? It's literally how he makes his living and if he didn't do it,they'd hire someone else. And someone who's unexperienced with executions would probably make her suffer even more,while struggling to rip her tongue out or overdoing the scourge,while not being able to control his temper or emotions (especially if it was someone from the bishops guard,executing the sentence)
Even the "bad" ending is good compared to the worst one
The worst ending is way better than the bad ending
why@@kiryukazuma9102
Got the good ending on first try. I thought the worst ending would be burned at the stake
@@Matth_M Stake burning were uncommon during the 15th century. It was not until 1600 to 1800 that stake burnings were more prelevant.
@@artilleriman even then they were not common
after a few weeks the bishop was surprisingly found dead in his own chamber. nothing got stolen except some saviour schnaps and gold. some guards suspect poisoned soup. priests say it was gods punishment....
I got the worst ending in my playthrough, that was fuckin emotional
Yh it was grim
Me too. I killed the priest but couldnt find the wife of the blacksmith. She wouldve found the same fate god i was angry lol
@@Julian-jg3jl The wife of the blacksmith is exactly where she's supposed to be in the same shop you went to speak to try to convince her to testify, you just need to go there at night.
I hacked the whole lot of them up while they slept and then the blacksmith magically woke up later to go downstairs to his trunk totally unaware I was standing right behind him and hacked him up again.
If my Johanka couldn't live, then neither could they and it was all that Blacksmith's wife's doing.
This was the most grim scene I had to endure in the game, I didn't think it would get much worse than the butchering of Henry's parents right at the beginning of the game, but guess that was just a warm up.
I got the worst ending so afterwards I went to monastery and killed every monk as payback. Mwahahahha
Lol. hhaha, I would do that too.
@@Robespierre-lI Exactly what I did but apparently she was not killable. Got away with murdering the shop guard and beating her unconscious multiple times tho.
i just killed fabian and swordsmean wife
I really dont think Johanka would have wanted that.
@@alfstlen3160 Who cares she's woman anyway.
Its neat to see this in game especially the conversations with Godwin because you are sort of seeing the embers that will become Martin Luthers reformation in its infancy.
kinda sad ngl, the reform will codeem much good souls because the ignorance it leads
or rather, the Hussite movement in the case of Bohemia, the 30 year war is 200 years in the future, the Hussites will rise up only a few years later, possibly in KCD2
@@ghost963cz The Hussite movement was sort of the proto reformation and it was stomped out eventually but both movements had the same complaints and wanted pretty much the same reform
@@Salt-Upon-Woundss It wasnt stomped out, the radical taborites were, hussite continued to be the religion of bohemia until westphalia peace
As the other comments here say, I hope the Hussite rebellions are covered in KCD2
To save her you MUST talk to Matthias right before the trial (he'll tell u to have her admit she was wrong), he is laying in bed in the Monestary infirmary and he gives u dice that u give to her.
I did this and it did not give me the best ending where she is freed. She was whipped and shipped off to a convent in my playthrough as i missed a few other things.
Thks
I have done everything right except get her to be modest fuck her
@@ripvanwinkle7689 same. did everything good but didnt convince her .Got the tongue ripping ending
lol, after running around talking to so many people, all it takes is one conversation with Matthias.
"Tell her I'm well up for a shag after the trial, that will change her mind!"
omg i remember doing this when it came out and i was so stressed out the entire time in the church LOL
haha :)
Same. I'm amazed by how emotionally invested I became in some crazy bumpkin npc
Shit I didn't know there was a good ending. I did everything I could and she still got sent away.
The same, i had the bad ending. I slept with the prostitute and i bribed the guard to talk with johanka. So.. i think why went wrong...But its okay, not all have good endings and i have done all i would have at a real situation (except sleep with prostitute xD only i was trying whats going to happe and i saw that all matters at the end)
U gotta talk to mathias, sure u figured it out by now tho lol
@@Feather_vic I slept with Adela too, it really depends if you can convince her in the jail. I even screwed up two times at the judge trial twice but it all ended good actually
@@Feather_vic I did both of those things and i spen the donation in my name instead of the rich guy's. still got the good ending.
Lol I was a devote Christian and the only sin I did commit was steal from the Inquisitor and not tell him of the sins of Godwin, cause he's my bro. That is the only way to get things done and make Johanka free.
I tried to kill every npc which was against her but they resurrected for a trial :D
I wondered if that was possible, doing it mafia style^^
It was God's will they be at the trial
@@ScepticGinger89 I tried to kill the blacksmiths wife but she had plot armor.
@@ScepticGinger89 that's not mafia style
@@hithere8753 the best armour there is
The key to the good ending ist talking to Matthias, getting his dice, giving it to johanka.
vielen vielen dank
How do you do that? He’s unconscious for me
Fairoboi Lawrence after talking to Johanka the first in the jail he wakes up, then you get the dice and talk to her again
No it’s not, that’s what I did and got the bad ending
I did do that and she still got whipped and sent away i guess its because i failed the last speech check before the cutscene? Or maybe i didnt get thr book from godwin?
I never thought I could kill a whole town's worth of people in KCD but my revenge on Sasau left me with a sliver of health and an entire city of corpses.
Ahah, you were the devil of the prophecy
"an innocent woman was killed, better kill everyone else too that makes sense"
It happens a lot, for example when some idiot called Sebestian puts you into cell because he is little butthurt...
Dude went full Anakin Skywalker man, you could have just went for the blacksmith's wife, not all the town folk wanted Johanka dead.
This is officially my favorite DLC out of all the Kingdom come deliverance has to offer. I simply wanted to heal Mattias hoping once he’s healed I can buy a new horse but I never expected on going on a holy crusade, repenting, being a 10/10 lawyer and detective all in one session. I was so engrossed in the story I stayed up all night playing it.
Same.
What DLC quest is this? Title say "a woman lot". Thought that was Tess's story. When does this quest line start?
after you do the refugees quest and merchojed quest @@downwindsalmon
@@downwindsalmon After Theresa, it's a quest called "The Madonna of Sasau"
@@downwindsalmon As Gameplaytv says, it's the quest after Theresa's quest. Both are part of the "a woman's lot" DLC, hence the title
I got the "bad" ending but it's ok for me. I did my best to help her and she always keep trying to be punished :/
At the end, i was thinking "ok you are dead, and its because of you".
Finally, she's alive and Matthias too so... its a "good" ending for me i guess.
edit: All was fine, I simply didnt talk to matthias.
The key to get good ending (i think you need to complete at least 4 of these 5)
1: not sleep with prostitute Adela
2: Do the pilgrimage and get the manuscript Godwin gave to you and read it.
3: dont bribe the guard to talk to Johanka, should steal document from inquisitor's room and show to the guard
4: Faild persuding Johanka against church, then get Matthias dice and persude her again.
5: Get all testimonies (Caught blacksmith's wife lying)
Thanks for the update. All true, but I do think there is a sliding scale. ie I bribed the guard but still got good ending.
Not as a game issue, but a historical one, unless she recants she's doomed, an Inquisitor would never allow a FEMALE preacher to continue to defy the church. Historically, Inquisitions either ended in automatic guilt (not the case here) or a demand for recanting. A live repentant is always better then a dead martyr after all. And for that it appears you need to get the dice.
Odd though that the best evidence in her favor is never mentioned, the murderer. She had a dream, told Henry who followed it up and found a murder. That's an example of something she couldn't know having real world truth. A few of those and you might get Sainthood.
@@Pelamore same here... bribed guard but got good ending
@C Jones and @Joshka Fishers So bribing the guard is not the key factor. I thought it was, cause if bribed the guard, the inquisitor will point that out. I thought it would affect the ending.I will change that.
@@wolftooth123 i think it is ... you just dont need to get all 5. 4/5 (persuading johanka needs to be one of them) works.
I love the part that after the good ending, you can talk to Sir Radzig and get the job for Matthias and they will move to Rattay in winter. It's like they finally can have a future after suffered so much.

@@ignaerium487 "german"? As far I know there were no such thing. There was the papal and the Spanish.
@@gerwantofrivera3725 there was, I remember that everytime the papal state got into bad relationships with the emperor, the empire started working with all important religious matters on their own without reporting to the pope, sometimes they would try to take all religious power in a newly Christianisted kingdom and it led to war over who gets to be a religious head of the kingdom, those kingdoms or whatever that failed to get the pope as their religious head were mostly turned into a part of the empire, it all ended when after centuries the empire have lost the control over Italian region, they basically stopped beeing Roman after that since even the papal state left the empire for good, but that didn't matter that much since most of the empire was protestant already
@@ignaerium487there was nothing like the "german" inquisition because spain was the only kingdom that has the right to have its own. The Rest was the papal inquisition
I love the dull humor of this game, it's truly medieval
Sunny the story is med-good
After her tongue is cut off, if you talk to the guy who pressured her into sleeping with him, he asks you if she'll still be able to perform oral sex with no tongue.
That is how you show other endings, including all the after ending dialogue options! Great! So we don't have to wonder what they would say after.
Thanks :)
That quest made my Henry murder half of Sasau.
I've got a better one. What if there's a very talented modder. Who can mod or make henry decendent from the future that look exactly like henry. Equipped with futuristic plasma minigun and one if those futuristic power armor that comes with an energy force shield to defend from any incoming arrows or melee attacks.
You are short tempered.

Dammit. I made Henry use his 1000 IQ as a lawyer but Johanka messed everything up. Got bad ending. After killing every people of sasau and monastary the soldiers respawned and are in large number. sometimes 6-7 soldiers inside eachother 😄. so coudnt talk to johanka
I got the worst ending but it’s the one I prefer. I literally starting crying. She was a saint, a true Christian and sadly died a martyr. Johanka was too good for this world and hopefully found peace with Matthias in the kingdom of heaven.
i don't know about Johanna and heaven but surely after all that i made sure the father Fabian and the black smith wife found what was coming their way
@@ulrohermit1369 it was the swordsmith's wife did you murder another innocent?

@@АндрейОнищенко-з8х If it's emotional, they made it believable. It certainly served the job of making me like xtianity even less.
She was literally a fornicator.
Just did this. Managed to save her (after failling to save Fritz and Matthew from their own stupidity). Fucking excellent DLC and game.
Found the worst ending properly emotional. So much so that I reloaded the past few hours of gameplay, a length of time I rarely redo, and redid the whole quest.
I will do it later in another alternative timeline:) this was the according to me best written DLC I have played.
@@Max1990Power Agreed. Under different circumstances I would do it a lot later too, but it hit me hard enough that I wanted my main savegame to have the best ending
@@gabrielberger7439 i understand. I hope that for KC 2, act 3 that you can keep the progress for your henry. Will be interesting to see how warhorse going to do this. How to finish henrys story but at the same time keep this world alive for future games. I hope we soon will get some news about the next game. At least once the last project for this edition is finished, the mods.
@@Max1990Power I haven't even explored mods yet, I've been enjoying the vanilla game so much (only really got into it in March, so I'm a relative late-comer). Carrying saves over to KC2 would be nice, even if it's just your inventory of it's set in a different province.
I'm disappointed you didn't kill everyone involved.
I got the "good" ending, but it ticked me the wrong way and came here to see if I missed something. Did anyone tried to kill the inquisitor or demand a trial by combat (I remember it was an option in the dialog with the inquisitor)?
Probably the first time in history an inquisitor character wasn't depicted as some villanous zealot hellbent on killing everyone sligthly blasphemous
Yes, it's a nice picture of what an inquisition court really looked like and where the accused isn't tortured all the time to hear a confession so that he can then be burned.
Worst Ending broke my heart :( Where's are Johanka and Mathias tombs?
Just two pieces of cross made from wood.
I think they are in the rovna cemetery, but I haven't checked yet.
@@achilles872 Thank you.
There is a worse ending: When you meet the inquisitor, tell him the church is useless and serves only itself. Then you both suffer the same worst ending lol. You don't see it, you only get an end game screen, but it's there.
Also, anyone else decided that bitch of a swordsmith wife needs to go down?
I tried that because of you :D Thanks for pointing it out!
I killed that bitch afterwards. And Fabian, too. 😡
@@velvet.vampyre Me too. Cracked her neck like a chicken. Fuck them.
I mean, Johanka is probably the person in the game I hate the most. I mean I know what she has been through, but she is always judging me that I dont do enough when I am clearly the only one who helps her.
Yeah I was conflicted during this quest. She was clearly acting proud and delusional, and I say that as a Christian. She didn't deserve to die, though. She just needed a good wakeup call and to repent.
Doing a blind playthrough in 2023, I started the game thinking it was a solid 7/10 with good combat, an excellent world, great characters and immersive quests. Met Father Godwin and used a manual save I've still not overwritten because whenever I feel low I go back and do the quest again elevating the score to a 8/10. Then as I was sneaking in a village, a guard saw me and said "What's the matter laddie, need to shit?". That sent me into a laughing fit and my personal score to a solid 9/10. But, as soon as Johanka's trial verdict started and the somber operatic background music kicked in, I realized, this is a 10/10 masterpiece.
The worst ending was the true good ending. Johanka bending the knee and admiting false guilt is far worse than her martyrs death. This DLC was fantastic, and yes, a few citizens of Sasau went...missing after the execution.
Meh to me it seems like Johanka really got prideful there at the end and honestly she did become a heretic. If she really believed in the teachings of the Catholic Church, then a Bishop is always on the right by definition.
@@lucatr9894 Im this context I tend to agree. She didnt consult anyone in authority and just ran off doing what she pleased. Its not as if the church isnt potentially interested in miracles as they have many previously documented incidences. Even in one of the alternate endings the Bishop seemed to believe her but had issues with her presumptions and arrogance.
@@hithere8753 Yes, the Bishop is absolutely right when he says that not just anyone should shout in the streets about God's will and how he or she interprets it. It does genuinely take years of study, practice and humility to truly internalize and understand the teachings of the Bible, that's why we have the Church, to guide us in that endeavour.
@@vaarkobke3102 I hope you guys are sarcastic or making fun of this, because otherwise pls go fy... the christian religion is one of the worst things of mankind....
@@Neomanu90 Yeah, I can see why you'd hate a religion that tells you that there's more important things that you have a duty to than your personal pleasure.
Given the personality of the inquisitor as an honest sort while also being an enforcer of orthodoxy, I found the worst ending a bit lacking on his part. When he is alone in the church with Johanka, he could have said something to the effect of: "Yes, I know there is a lot of corruption in the Church, but that doesn't imply that its theology is wrong, or that you know better".
She was so fucking lucky that the inquisitor was a good guy at heart who took his duty very seriously or she would have been burnt in the stake or first tortured with the many tools reserved for heretics, and there were many of them
I got the second ending shown in the vid, all I was missing to get the first ending was to convince Johanka to admit it all, otherwise I brought everyone I could in defence of her and spoke about *EVERYTHING* and I’m satisfied with it
but since I have the saves I am going to go get the first ending shown in the vid
You need Mathias' help to persuade Johanka to save herself and be humble during the trial. Mathias is the key to the good ending.
Just played through this quest and got the 'bad' ending, which was horrible and a great relief at the same time. Left me in a state of shock, the most immersive quest I've played.
Why are they still on about what what the remaining NPC left alive of Old Skalitz should do after it has been burn by the war..We Literally have a TOWN,like we did for Matthew and Fritz why not sending our people there too?..I mean those people are literally eating dirt in Rattay and Sausa while we bailiffing a fresh new town in NEED of subjects
Sir Divish, when pribyslavitz is rebuilt mentioned that he has plans to expand the village. Hopefully in KC 2 this means adding the remaining refugees from Skaliz.

I actually like the bad ending because Johanka is not holding anything back and is staying by what she has been saying. And she is spitting facts
I got the good ending, but I paid Father Fabian a visit afterward.
Honestly i feel like the bad ending is the right one as she stood by her beliefs to the end and refused to play by the church's rules to save herself
I finally sat to the DLCs now,to return to the beautiful world of KC:D almost 3 years after playing it for the first time on the premiere. Johanka's thread was the first thing that I took up (well,after the whole "From The Ashes" questline) and suddenly I remembered what made me love the base game's story so much. I got the bad ending and personally I absolutely loved the bitter-sweetness of it. And the fact how the ending sequence was directed plays a huge part in that. I mean in the cutscene you can see a sword right behind Herman,so my initial thought was that I messed it up completely and got her beheaded in the process. Also the sheer presence of Herman so a character I remembered from the very beginning of the game and whom I really like and the way he notices Henry was just priceless,'cause suddenly I also remembered the tragism of his own character and his rejection from the society. Once the sentence has been executed I felt relieved that it's basically the end and that it just ended on the scourge and that everything will be ok from now on. And then the imprisonement of Johanka in the monastery hit and the broken relationship of 2 lovers and that just made my jaw drop to the ground. It's been a while since a game I played put me on such a rolercoaster of emotions ngl
I got the good ending. I'm always roleplaying as a faithfull and righteous man. It's funny to see so many people not getting the good ending.
if a guy said that id really be surprised
I got worst ending.
But i load my save, and kill inquisitor Jaroslav. Its game over, "after Henry kill Jaroslav he tried to run awan, but get cought and hanged. Johanka also died" something like that
After the worst ending i said to myself;
"Time to grab the shovel."
i did every thing for her and i still got the worst! i'm crying now

Seeing the good and even the bad ending just makes it hurt more that I got the worst ending.
Dam... I got her killed...lol But I tried... it was very sad. I left this quest for last, even after I finished all the others, including the main story. And it was a very strong ending. Playing on ps4 was very painful because of the long waiting screens and infinite bugs, but it was worth it, great game. Hope to play the sequel on ps5 without bugs. All hail Henry the future King. Ps: after this quest, I went to sasau church and killed the priest Fabian. It felt good.
@@Drion086 maybe they fixed it. I struggled quite a lot with the bugs, specially in the monks quests. Hope you enjoyed the game, it's great. :)
I redid this freaking quest like 6 times to get the good ending, worth it
Never really cared much for her, yet if it were Theresa instead, might just have to end the inquisition and all the inquisitors.
in my country Saint Boniface was killed by angry farmers who didnt like to be forced catholisism down their throat ,so when people where killed by the church ,they killed the leader and all clerks and took back their livelyhood ,later also was discovered this area was a place where vikings lived and bred with locals ,so that might explain some of the bravery in their genes .(very interresting topic to see the trail of Vikings all over the world )
after playing this game i can feel the urgency they must have had to put a stop to that religious nonsense and killing of innocent farmers and common folk

@@bassax7045 Saint Boniface was actually set upon by armed robbers. He told his company that was defending him to lay down their weapons whilst in Frisia. He was trying to convert people, and he made his company lay down their weapons because he felt that they could only overcome evil with good.
When they killed him and his defenceless company they ransacked his possessions including some of his books, which they burned, because they were actually after golden objects like vessels/goblets and crosses.
True enough, they did have the same motives and the same behaviour as most "Vikingr" raiders did from 793-1066 AD. 😂
@@bassax7045 the was just one devil in that dlc and he made himself it easy to tell apart
What’s crazy is that I just played the game how I normally did it and didn’t realize there were bad endings to the dlc
I knew it was a bad idea to band Adela, forgot about Father Godwin's papers, tried to bribe the guard, and didn't talk to Mathias because there's no way to know that he had woken up
I guess I deserved the worst ending
I have absolutely opposite problem and opinion compare to everybody else here... i got the good ending but i wish for bad ending which seems the best to me. In good one Johanka deny what she belives in, lie and do not criticize the corruption of catholic church to survive. In bad ending she will not let herself to be intimidated by threats of an inquisitor, keep in her faith and openly criticise corruption of church and face martyrdom with pride. That reminds me a lot czech church reformer Jan Hus who was actually active during same time as is the game period and few years later his fate was quite similar in this... that made Bohemian folks lot angry and resulted in massive revolt against catholic church called Hussite wars. (Im sure we gonna see more about him and his followers in next part of KCD)
Czech national myth. Nothing else.
@@genera1236 elaborate
@@yourpapersplease5000 Hus wasn't a reformer of the Church, he plundered for example Church lands and basically sow the chaos.
I didnt pay the bailif for the testemony (but got all others) cause i thought it would bite me in the arse but paid the guard(which bited me in the arse xD) and I didnt get good ending, I guess bailif testemony is determinant:/ , kinda liked it and looked realistic she was sent to convent but left me sad :( good story telling
Nope, I didn't pay the bailiff and got the good ending. I didn't pay the guard, but knocked down the inquisitor and took the permit. My guess is that the main points are not killing anyone, finish the three sub-quests quests, make sure you donate all the money in the name of the guy (I donated it for the poor to the church, but in retrospective probably giving the money to the bailiff could have been a better option), don't sleep with Adela, do the pilgrimage and of course convince Johanka.
Damn Adela threw me under the bus but I still got the good ending, I was afraid tho. Good dlc indeed.
Unfortunately I got the worst ending, it felt realistic and we'll done but it wasn't the ending I hoped for
istg i was pulling off a lawyer masterclass in the church but i couldn’t convince her and i still got the worst ending somehow
Gonna get it tomorrow for my consol. Only one way to do it. Save her!
I did not manage to save her, despite my efforts:(
I saved her my first playthrough, but it was in spite of Johanka's every desire lmao. It was so much work and she didn't seem like she truly wanted to recant, so the second time I played it, I just let her die.
This quest really touched me for some reason i really loved it but i got tge worst ending and i feel like i just lost someone in real life🤔 saddest video game death to me
The more dangerous you become to the church / the better you play, the worse the outcome.
I had the worst outcome, and not many games manage me the shed a real tear. But I did here.
Somehow this ending reminds one of Valiant Hearts. People intend good, but end up being called evil.
I like how the Inquisitor is not a stereotype of a bad guy. He actually wants Johanka to be saved but will do what he has to according to church law if she is found guilty.
A lot of you talk about how you got the worst ending and sought revenge by killing every monk in the monastery. It makes sense that you miserably failed the quest if you have such futile reaction.
the good old "hurr church bad" mentality
@@fabianms_art it is bad and its not that old and its with good reason
@@ulrohermit1369 Myths, myths and myths.
I killed the swordsman's wife Katra before the trial. Next day she just waltzes in a testifies, but gets shot down anyways as she is driven by jealousy. Still got the bad ending though, cause I chose not to use Guta's and Adela's testimony, thought I had it in the bag.
I failed that Drinking quest with Ambrose and got the neutral ending even though I convinced Johanka in her cell
There is no good ending. It’s just bad, worst, and then absolutely god awful. Either way she has to tell people she was wrong, and be renounced by the public, or be tortured and renounced by the church anyway, or be tortured, renounced by the church, and then have her tongue cut out for sticking to her truth. Crazy to think the church actually did stuff like this too.
It wasnt too common there is only like 3000-5000 physical punishments during 300 years of inquisition the peoples were told 10-30 days before Inquisition came to them and they can every time escape punishment by just saying sorry. It was diffrent times back then this was necessary evil bcs there was no Internet or mass production of books so these false preachers was really dangerous back then for church and people
My hypocritical opportunist Henry managed the good ending, just as planned; though to be fair Johanka was a childhood friend, it made sense for him to help even if he didn't really believe her and just said what he felt she wanted/needed to hear. You don't HAVE to RP a "good" Henry for the good ending; you can also go with someone so utterly self-serving that they'd do the right things even if for the wrong reasons.
I tried to do everything right and still got the worst ending, geeezzz. The church don't fuck around
after seeing all the endings and getting the "bad" one, i could say that the worst one was the best and right ending for me.
Why is that?
@@vitorb.macarthy348 Op is an atheist
@albert fish Inquisition trials almost never end up with a death sentence so you're totally wrong about it.
@albert fish Ok nice troll you got me.
@albert fish You just can't be serious when you say that being hung for killing a bishop means that you get executed for being atheist.
Took me 3 tries to get the good ending. I got the bad ending the first 3 times. I did get the dice from Mathias. But I didn't confront the custodian before the trial but called him out durring. Steal the inquisitioner's papers and show them to the guard. And not sleep with Adela
One thing I dont understand. Why the narrator of endings is young Henry, not the old one from intro, which would have more sense if we are talking about continuity?
I think perhaps because he is narrating the outcome of the event shortly after it's happened, whereas with older Henry he is recanting the entire tale of his life.
If you think about it, it's technically old Henry narrating young Henry who's narrating himself, in a sense.
I fucked it up the first time and got the worst ending. Sasau suffered by the hand of henry in revenge. I grabbed my axe and in blood rage killed all the monks and ppl who stood for Johanka's death and anyone who tried to stop me met a similar fate, for now, they're also responsible for the death of Henry's close childhood friend, Matthias.
the last one is the best ending for the period. i mean it makes the most sense
Really wish this wasnt your thumbnail....
I got the worst ending. At the same time that is the most realistic one, and my Johanka turned into a martyr. In my mind she put into motion what would be the start of the hussit wars. But it was a sad ending. Lucky for me, as an tolkien fan and reader of Silmarillion i am used to see my heroes die.
I am not gonna watch this video because i want to figure out for myself how to get the good ending.
I have listed 5 necessary requirement of how to get the good ending in the commentary section, if you cant figure out, you can check it out.
Well, jan hus did start the hussite wars. They were not a
fictional wars. What happened as a fact did happen.
Except Jan Hus was actually worthy of being a martyr. Johanka did nothing but claim that a dead woman talked to her in her sleep, dude.
@@danielhebard1865 I agree, Jan Hus was burned because of the churches greed. Greed seems to cause lots of bad things
Yeah I remember the first time I read about the death of Fingolfin last High King of the Noldar. It was a really heroic and sad death. Tolkiens way of telling stories really tugs at my Heartstrings.
Kind of cult-like, for being killed for killing an inquisitor.
Anti-Hero Meng John Lee an Inquisitor was a high Church Official, basically in charge of Groups of Catholic Soldiers, so killing him (and all murder back then really) would result in death
Henry shakes his head while Johanka nods, lol that's the last mistake you're gonna do girl.
Damn you, Adela!
haha, I bet you cant resist her :)
I loved how, in the Good Version, the Inquisitor believes that Johanka truly saw the Virgin Mary and was only getting ahead of herself. It shows that, while Johanka was a good and faithful person, she was also human, and prone to mistakes.
10/10 All three endings had me crying
😢
It also reflects that the church was actually open to dialogue, as long as it follows their scholastic principles. This was the main difference between her speech in ending 1 and 2. in ending 1, she followed the churches doctrine. This route could actually lead to Johanka being a saint.
I had to restart a few things cuz i almost did everything right my mistake were: slept with adela and told the monestary the money was from me. I corrected pavel's mistake who put out an extremely good word for johanka and that's about it, you can get away with the adela mistake.
I like how the music at the end is the same yet it somehow manages to go with the tones of all the endings
this quest was better than the main story
Best DLC I have ever played! Very different and refreshing. Surviving the attack on Skalitz with Theresa was so enthralling but also very poignant.
Hated the quest design tho especially the one where you have to wander around the map searching for freakin flowers in the dark with Cumans everywhere around 💀
@@Matth_M I hated that quest. Great story, but the way it had to be played was... frustrating. Then again being a 15th century peasant woman in the middle of an area being looted post-invasion might be a tad frustrating I guess x)
Hmm, funny. Seems like Matthias only recovers if Johanka repents. Thus meaning that is the right thing to do.
Can't believe I'd never seen this before. They really outdid themselves with this.
The trial cutscene was the most nail-biting sequence in the game. My heart sank when I saw Hermann there thinking I fucked up big time but luckily still got the good ending.
What’s sad is the worst ending is probably the most accurate. It’s also kinda sad considering the shit Henry has/can do to the church, nobles or whatever we don’t have some option to outright save her while she continues to preach. Like how many previous missions took place where we are given the option to help someone escape from dire consequences
If anyone sees this I am putting this down immediately after getting the good ending
I finally got it after getting Johanka to speak with Humility.
Make sure to go to Matthias so he can help Johanka do just that when he gives you his dice. He is in the room with all the Skalitz wounded in a bed on your right side when you enter
I always felt like Henry would do something stupid instead of stand back and watch, it's against his nature. He must have really been as fed up as we were with Johanka
I went in blind and tried my best. Did not get the good ending and it's been a long time since I felt brokenhearted by something that happened in a game, because I genuinely felt partially responsible.
i fucked up with the Ciri ending in my first try but i wasn't going to have the same with johanka so i did my best and got the good ending
Same here mate
This is, to this date, the most well written DLC I ever played.
I sneaked up to the inquisitor's chambers and stole his documents giving him rights to judge, but it didn't make any difference :(
One of the best story lines in the game. Such a great cutscene, it was really tense and I was trying to do my best to safe her. when I saw the executioner there I got scared. Got bad ending on my first playthrough.
That bishops voice acting is so underrated
I got the worst ending, so i killed every killable npc in town and monastery (except the people who helped), then loaded and made things to get the good ending (i didn't know at that moment you can talk with Matthias, that clearly made difference).
