The King’s Gambit Walkthrough

Find out how to get to the City Council from Mint Master Vavak

Speak with the Guard at Vavak’s house and tell him that you have an urgent matter that you need to speak with Vavak about. Once inside, speak with Vavak about getting into the meeting. He’ll tell you of someone that you can replace.

Obtain the king’s waiter’s certificate and clothes

Travel near the armorer on the east side of Kuttenberg and speak with Franta.

You’ll need to convince him to let you attend the meeting in his place by passing a persuasion check or paying him money.

Report for duty

Equip the royal waiter’s hat, royal waiter’s coat, the hose of a royal waiter and shoes. Unequip any and all weapons then travel to the nearby town hall.

Speak with Majordomo and tell him that you’re the new waiter. Listen to his instructions, then time will pass and you’ll find yourself in the meeting.

Serve the Kuttenberg councillors

Adam of Zarzitz does NOT get wine. The other councillors will ask for white Tokaji or red Monastery wine. For us, we had to serve the following councillors wine:

• Andrew Polner = white wine
• Adam of Zarzitz = tell him no
• Master Enderlin = red wine
• Adam of Zarzitz = tell him your forbidden
• Bailiff Andreas Plumel = approach him and he’ll request a silver goblet from his study

Bring the confiscated goblet to Bailiff Plumel

Quickly make your way into the side room and grab the goblet from his desk. Return it to the bailiff.

Serve the Kuttenberg councillors

Return to your post by the wine table then await more orders:

• Master Prokop Eldris = white wine
• Master Nicholas Krondel = white wine
• Jerome Naaz = white wine
• Ulrich Vavak of Neauhaus = white wine
• Franz Rosenthal = needs gloves from chapel

Find and bring Franz Rosenthal’s gloves

Head into the chapel in a side room off the meeting room and grab the white gloves from the pedestal. While you’re there, you’ll need to count the winged figures. The answer is 24. Return to Franz and deliver the gloves and give him the correct answer to receive groschen.

Serve the Kuttenberg councillors

Return to your post then continue to serve the wine:

• Inkeeper Havel = white wine
• Master Tuchmacher = red wine

After a short while, a cutscene will trigger, and you’ll switch to your allies.

Get to know the rabbi and his escort

As Godwin, speak with Jabbi Jehuda in the southwest corner.

Meet Brabant

Next, speak with Vauqelin Brabant by the window in the next room.

Get support from Haman Alder

Head into the next room and speak with Haman Alder. Martin will not be happy that you’ve interrupted their conversation and will say some nasty things quite loudly. Of course you’ll respond, leading to a duel with Christopher Oderin. Defeat him then talk to him.

Get support from Botschek of Kunstadt

Head to the second level of the estate in the drinking area and speak with Botschek of Kunstadt. To acquire his support, he’ll want his niece Jitka to marry someone she’d be happy with. You can suggest Liechtenstein or Hans Capon. He won’t want Liechtenstein but will be interested in Hans. You must speak with Hanush about the arrangement. Return to Botschek to convey the great news.

Get support from Anna of Waldstein

Anna of Waldstein is on the third floor, sitting in front of a window. Speak with her, and she’ll want you to acquire some incriminating papers from Alder’s saddlebag. Speak with the stablemaster, then tell him you want to play a game of dice. He’ll leave and you can then interact with the saddle on the table in the room next to the stables to switch the papers.

If you’d like, you can head over to the table he’s sitting at and actually play dice.

Talk to Liechtenstein about the arranged support

After acquiring support from everyone, return to John of Liechtenstein to report your success. A lengthy cutscene will trigger, and you’ll switch back to Henry!

Serve King Sigismund of Luxembourg

Return to your post by the wine table. When asked, pour the king red wine. Otherwise, just listen to their conversation. Eventually, the king will decide he wants white wine so switch to that! After you switch back to Godwin, The King’s Gambit quest will end and The Feast will begin!
