Part IV-A: Hans Capon and Vaquelin Brabant
If you stole from the cook, then you should be able to open the door at the top of the tower. Alternatively, you can grab the tower key from the pulpit next to a bench in Lady Ofka’s room.
Either way, enter the room on the top floor to trigger a cutscene. Well, it looks like Henry and Hans are reunited once more. Also, Hans has a new friend, a chevalier named Vauquelin Brabant.
Your goal now in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Taking French Leave quest is to ensure that Hans and Vauquelin get to the horses so everyone can make their escape. Think of this section as somewhat akin to companion commands in other RPGs:
- “Get to the horses” – Hans and Vauquelin will run straight for the stables, but they might alert the guards. If this occurs, they’ll defend themselves using the weapons that you’ve given them, but you still need to help them out.
- “Back” – Command Hans and Vauquelin to return to a safer spot.
- “Stay” – Tell Hans and Vauquelin to remain at their current location.
To be frank, we recommend just telling both Hans and Vauquelin to stay behind in the tower. This allows you to focus solely on Henry as he clears the way for his comrades.
