Like any great RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has key points of no return—moments where you’re temporarily locked out of the open world. One of these is fairly short, while the other lasts much longer, keeping you tied to the main story for a while. Since these moments can impact your playthrough, here’s what you need to know so you can wrap up any unfinished quests before moving forward.
Trosky’s Point of No Return
The first point of no return happens in the Trosky region, just before the quest “For Victory!” If you’re working on “Necessary Evil,” this is your last chance to explore and complete side quests in the area. Once you start “For Victory!”, you’ll be locked out of Trosky for a while as the story moves to a different region. Without spoiling too much, expect to complete four main quests before you can return—so plan accordingly.
Kuttenberg’s Point of No Return
The second and most significant point of no return occurs near the end of the game. Once you trigger this, free-roaming becomes limited until you finish the story. You can still explore most of the map and complete side quests, except for any that are time-sensitive.
This happens during the “Oratores” quest. It’s a lengthy mission with multiple objectives and branching outcomes, but the actual lockout occurs when you return to Ruthard Palace after ambushing the Papal Legate. From this point on, you’ll be locked into the endgame sequence. Make sure you’ve wrapped up all side content—some optional quests will automatically fail if you advance the story past this point.
From my experience, the Trosky point of no return doesn’t fail any side quests, so you can progress without too much worry. However, the Kuttenberg one is a different story—I lost three quests after taking that step. Before heading into “Oratores,” complete any unfinished quests, upgrade Henry’s gear, and stock up on supplies. There’s a lot of combat ahead, and once the final stretch begins, there’s no turning back.
