The Italian Job Walkthrough
Go to the Italian Court
Head northeast towards the Italian Court, purchasing from the street traders. When you reach Jerome Naaz, you’ll stop to speak with him then follow him to the Church Council.

When he stops, speak with Giuseppe Cabrini. If you pass the really hard check, he’ll be extremely happy. Afterward, you’ll enter the council room and meet two bickering sides. After you’ve gotten the wine, continue formally. Next, you’ll need to speak with Janosh to get an idea.
During this next part, you’ll need to stay drunk to keep up Godwin’s Italian. When you start, drink two cups to get the bar halfway and keep it halfway throughout the meeting. When speaking with the attendees, make sure to keep conversations short. Do not ask for anything not pertaining to the church dispute and DO NOT mention the street traders. If you make it through the meeting without raising suspicion, you’ll earn the True Cardinal Trophy!
Discuss the church dispute
Speak with Christian of Pisek to get some important information. Afterward, speak with Jerome Naaz to request wine and additional security. Doing this will help Henry!
Speak with Andrew Polner, exhausting his dialog options. Next, drink some wine from the keg then speak with Father Peter of Malien. Our good friend Musa will surprisingly be at the table! Speak with him! Keep making your way around the table, speaking to Albich of Uniczow next.
After exhausting his dialog options, speak with Janosh to get another idea. Return to Jerome and ask for the cook. This is the last thing you can do for Henry. Wait for the cook to show up then speak with him.
Next, you’ll need to speak with Father Anthony.
Give the closing speech
When you’re ready to give the closing speech, speak with Janosh. Select Musa’s path is right. Then get them to calm down. After the meeting concludes, you’ll receive the True Cardinal Trophy!
Take out the guards
After the cutscene, you’ll find yourself as Henry again. Head through the doorway to reach the outdoors. Take a left and climb the scaffolding ladder. At the top of the scaffolding, follow it around to the right then take a left. There will be a section you can climb up next to two spinning wheels.

This will bring you to the walkway with the guards. Take them out however you’d like.
Talk to Sir Hans by the well
Once the guards have been dealt with, head down to the courtyard and speak with Hans. Ask where’s Adder then suggest to go look for him.
Find Adder

Enter the door where Hans is standing to trigger a cutscene. Convince the hubby to stand down or attack him. After the confrontation, speak with Adder outside.
Find the connection between the cellar and the crypt
Follow the group downstairs and interact with the wall in the room with Hans to find the secret passageway.

Once you have the option, tell them that they must free the lords, then tell them that you want to go with them.
Free the lords
Once you gain control, follow Janosh up the stairs. At the top, you’ll find Csaba Molnair. You can either persuade him to stand down or attack him.
Talk to Zizka on the walls
Samuel will call you over, so speak with him to learn that you can loot some goodies before speaking with Zizka. We found the most noteworthy items at the following places:
- Armory – Up the stairs from where the Dry Devil is standing
- Library – Up the spiral staircase
- Minting Room – Right of the spiral staircase, it will be the second left
Feel free to scour every inch of the castle, looting until your heart is content! Once you’re ready to move on and engage in a battle, speak with Zizka on the outer wall!
Battle!
As the ladders come up, push them off. You’ll then need to hold off the attackers. Once the gates have been breached, head down and defend the outer bailey.
Get to Ruthard Palace
Once in the tunnel, head forward a short way to rejoin your allies. Head to the next crypt over and speak with Hans. Afterward, head through the tunnels and approach a ladder to trigger a cutscene.
Defeat Brabant’s men
After the betrayal, turn around and head through the door. Take the spiral staircase up a couple of floors. You’ll cross through a room. Head through the door across this room to find the archers. Fight them off one at a time on the stairs. After a lengthy cutscene, The Italian Job main quest will complete and the Civitas Pragensis quest will begin.
