Warhorse Studios released Kingdom Come: Deliverance on 13 February 2018, set in Bohemia in 1403 with no magic, no dragons and a map built from real places. You play Henry, a blacksmith's son from Skalitz, after Cuman raiders in Sigismund's pay burn the town and kill his parents. All 17 skills level only through use, and saving outside a bed normally costs a bottle of Saviour Schnapps.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.

Sasau: Mid Game

Ledetchko: Endgame
A village on a tight bend of the Sasau river inside Divish of Talmberg's demesne, northwest of Rattay and east of Sasau. It has a mill, a tavern, a bathhouse next door, a blacksmith and an archery range, and it hosts one of the game's better remembered murder mysteries.

Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order: Rattay → Skalitz → Sasau → Talmberg → Ledetchko. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your equipment: Some areas favor different equipment types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
