Overview

  • Climbing Devil’s Finger in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 proves to be a formidable challenge, yet it yields valuable rewards.
  • Players need to master hidden paths and jumps to conquer this iconic climb.
  • The summit of Devil’s Finger offers breathtaking views, 281 Groschen, and a Strong Saviour Schnapps.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players have numerous avenues to earn currency and rewards, with one particularly demanding method being the ascent of Devil’s Finger. This noteworthy location can be found on the Trosky map, providing an acrobatic challenge that belies its seemingly innocuous appearance.

Situated in the heart of Trosky woods, Devil’s Finger is a distinctive rock formation that lacks a defined pathway leading to its peak. Despite this challenge, reaching the top is well worth the effort, although potential climbers should exercise caution—falls from this heights can often result in fatal consequences.

Navigating the Climb: Devil’s Finger

To embark on this quest, players must head to the northwest region of the Trosky map where they will find the Devil’s Finger marked as a point of interest. This location is conveniently close to the Skeleton With a Treasure site.

Before initiating the climb, it’s advisable to create an Exit Save or consume a Saviour Schnapps. Falling from the Devil’s Finger could result in Henry’s untimely demise, so ensure they are sufficiently prepared. Should you opt for Schnapps, allow time for any effects of intoxication to wear off prior to the ascent.

Upon arrival, players will observe a rugged rock structure with a notably flat summit. At first glance, the cliff may appear impossible to climb, but a hidden pathway on the western side can facilitate the ascent. Look for a log leading towards the cliff’s midsection and cross it to access the climbing face.

Minimize any weight on Henry by avoiding heavy armor; excessive clothing can deplete stamina and hinder movement. Opt for lightweight attire or consider climbing without armor.

Continue the ascent by jumping from one rocky surface to another, always aiming for the next stone while positioning Henry away from the edge. A miscalculated jump could lead to serious consequences—either a fatal fall or severe injuries.

After successfully making that leap, cling to the wall as it can be slippery. Prepare for another jump and apply the same technique to safely cross.

The concluding stretch of the climb might seem somewhat glitchy, with players needing to precisely interact with the stones to ascend. If interaction proves difficult, jumping might be necessary. Take advantage of the downward curvature to propel Henry forward onto a stable ledge.

Reaching this point signals the bulk of the effort has been accomplished. The final section is more straightforward, simply requiring Henry to walk up the chalk path until the pinnacle is reached.

Upon conquering the climb, Henry will unlock three distinct rewards. The first is the stunning panoramic view—players should take time to appreciate the visually spectacular landscape crafted by the developers.

The second reward, which is likely to bring greater excitement, can be claimed by interacting with a jar near the cross at the summit, uncovering 281 Groschen. This is certainly a commendable reward for the effort of climbing.

Finally, just off to the right of the cross resides a bottle of Strong Saviour Schnapps. This item not only allows for convenient game saving but also grants a health boost of 20 points, along with a temporary enhancement of Strength, Vitality, and Agility, each increasing by two points for five minutes.

Although climbing Devil’s Finger is no small feat and can be quite frustrating, the rewards at the summit in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 certainly make the challenge worthwhile.
