How To Get the Free Dogwood Village Bow Early in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Secure a Free Bow Early in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Early-game combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be challenging, leaving you under-equipped. Fortunately, you can acquire the Dogwood Village Bow early and without spending a groat. This guide details how to obtain this valuable weapon.

After parting ways with Hans, your path to the wedding involves either working for a blacksmith or miller. Regardless of your chosen profession, the blacksmith's location conveniently marks the bow's whereabouts on your map. Even if you opt for the miller's path, finding this bow is a worthwhile detour.

The blacksmith's workshop is situated in Tachov, north of Troskowitz. From Troskowitz, head west, then follow the path as it curves north. At the fork where a smaller road branches west, turn right towards a cluster of trees. This seemingly unremarkable area houses a small training ground.

Within this cluster, you'll find a target with arrows – free ammunition! To the right of the target, against a tree trunk, rests the Dogwood Village Bow. Help yourself to the nearby brew and mushrooms as well.

Alternative Acquisition:

While purchasable from Huntsman's Son Vitek in Tachov, the Dogwood Village Bow isn't the most powerful ranged weapon. Considering its proximity to the free version, purchasing it is inefficient. However, Vitek offers superior weapons, and you can supplement your funds through alchemy.

Having a ranged weapon significantly eases combat, especially given the game's difficulty settings. Whether you choose the free bow or pursue other weaponry, a ranged option provides a tactical advantage.

After acquiring the bow, continue your questline, either by becoming a blacksmith (remember to save after forging a sword) or by assisting the miller. With your new ranged weapon, you'll be better prepared for the challenges ahead.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
