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 ill-equipped. Fortunately, acquiring a free bow early on is possible. This guide details how to obtain the Dogwood Village Bow without spending a single groat.

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.

The blacksmith's workshop is located in Tachov, north of Troskowitz. Travel west from Troskowitz, following the path as it curves north. At the fork where a smaller road branches west, turn right towards a cluster of trees. A small training area, easily overlooked, is nestled within.

Within the training area, you'll find a target with arrows – free ammunition! To the right of the target, leaning against a tree trunk, is 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 bow, purchasing it is inefficient. Vitek, however, offers superior weapons, and you can supplement your income through alchemy.

Regardless of your chosen method, having a ranged weapon significantly improves your combat capabilities, particularly beneficial given the game's fixed difficulty.

After acquiring the bow, you can proceed with the blacksmith questline (saving after forging a sword), or continue the main quest with the miller.

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