The Prey is a primary quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, where you’ll have to participate in a hunt alongside Hans Capon. This quest ends with a thrilling climax where you’ll need to locate and rescue Hans, who gets into big trouble.
- Meet Lord Capon at dawn in the courtyard of the Upper Castle. Sleep or skip some time until it’s around 6 AM. After a brief conversation, start following Lord Capon.
- Note – before setting out, leave all the items you don’t require in Henry’s chest. The animals you hunt during this mission will weigh a lot.
- You’ll arrive at a small camp. Bring Lord Capon some wine and bacon from his sack. The hunt will take place the next day – sleep on the mattress in the camp until then. Start the next day by taking the supplies from the chest in the camp. There’s a Villager’s ash bow, a set of arrows, and dried food. Equip the bow right away (take the one from the chest or use your own, if you have a better one), and don’t forget to place the type of arrows you want in the active slot.
- Hans will suggest another competition – hunting hares. The competition will last until midday. You can get about a dozen rabbits without much effort if you don’t miss all the time.
- You can hunt the hares in the whole forest – you don’t have to stick to a specific area. Use sneaking to your advantage. Use the bow after sneaking up on a hare. Collect all the hares you hunt down – you’ll receive hare meat, and you’ll recover your arrows. When it’s close to noon, return to the camp and wait for Lord Capon. The outcome of the contest will not affect the quest itself, but you’ll receive some gold if you win.
- Resume following Lord Capon. This time he wants to hunt a boar. After a cut-scene, you’ll need to locate Capon. Reach a small camp marked with a red circle on the top picture above.
- You’ll find that Lord Capon has been kidnapped by the Kumans. You can do two things: attack the two enemies in the camp or sneak up to Sir Hans and free him. If you choose to fight, make sure to attack the archer first and then the enemy with a shield.
- Regardless of your choice, you’ll free Hans and return to the town. Henry will receive his horse as a reward for saving the nobleman (the horse will be useful in the next main quest).
