Welcome to NGB and our Kingdom Come Deliverance walkthrough for the The Sport of Kings quest and Talmberg Horse Race! Here you’ll find everything you’ll need to easily breeze through this quest.
The Sport of Kings Overview
Quest Giver: Zora – Neuhof
Summary: Zora of the Neuhof stables asks Henry to find out why Sir Divish stopped buying horses from her. Henry will then need to figure out some way to convince Sir Divish to start buying Zora’s horses again.
Objective(s):
Saddle Zora’s dappled grey
Hop on the dappled grey Zora mentioned to update the objective.
Bring the dappled grey to the Talmberg stables
Head to the Talmberg stables located in the Talmberg Keep. This is the area where Lady Stephanie let Henry sleep early in the main story.
Talk to Sir Divish
Head up into the castle to locate Sir Divish and talk to him. He quit buying horses from Zora because he didn’t think a woman could run the stables. You can then challenge him to a horse race to prove the Zora being a woman has nothing to do with the quality of the horses she breeds.
Talk to the stable master
Head down to talk to the stable master about the race. He will tell you to meet at the Talmberg gate around noon.
Go to the Talmberg gate at noon today on Zora’s dappled grey
Head to the Talmberg gate riding Zora’s dappled grey horse.
Wait for Sir Divish and the other riders
The race will commence when Sir Divish and the other riders show up. The quest will then change to Talmberg Horse Race.
Win the Race!
The goal here is to win the horse race so Sir Divish will start buying horses from Zora again. That is easier said than done. The other riders run a perfect race meaning that they waste no time heading to each point and take the optimal road path to get there. Make sure you use a Savior Schnapps so you can reload until you win. The easiest way to win is to mark each location on your map and head straight there running across fields and through forests to reach each location. This should give you enough of an edge to pull out the win. Winning the race also unlocks a Trophy/Achievement. On the image below, the green circle (Uzhitz Church) is the first location, the pink circle (Merhojed Mill) is the second location, and the red circle (Talmberg Quarry) is the third location. Then you will head back to the starting line by the Talmberg gate to finish the race.
Speak to Divish
After winning the race, speak to Sir Divish, and he will again resume buying horses from Zora.
Tell Zora how the race ended
Head back to Neuhof and tell Zora that you won the race and that Sir Divish will start buying horses from her again. She will be pleased and reward you.
*Note: One of the rewards is supposed to be one of the finest saddles around. The quest glitched, and I never received the saddle. This seems to be the case for others out there as well.
