Kingdom Come Deliverance how to flee Talmberg Castle :
After spending the night on the wall, Henry will want to leave Talmberg to bury his parents in Skalitz. Unfortunately for our hero, the negotiations with Sir Robard will go badly and you will have no choice but to flee the castle. It won’t be easy to get out of Talmberg Castle, but we will detail each of the methods with the one that is in our opinion the safest and most useful.
→ The armor of Talmberg method :
One way to leave Talmberg is to disguise yourself as a soldier of Talmberg and go out incognito. This also allows you to get a horse out of Talmberg. Go see Radim at the camp gate and try to convince him to let you out. Then he will suggest you go out if you disguise yourself as a soldier wearing Talmberg armor.
To get it, go see Stephanie who can be found either in the yard outside or in the dining room. You will have to use your skills to convince her to help you flee the castle. Her will then tell you where to find the armor you are looking for. This is the lookout tower ! You can go there by joining the walls.
Note that you will need lockpicks, if you haven’t one go to the Votava dealer near Radim at the camp. He will gladly sell you lockpicks. Then head towards the watchtower to pick the lock of the chest which contains Talmberg’s guard armor.
Note that you will also find a village bow, arrows and even a shield when climbing the ladder in the lookout tower. Once you have everything, equip your character and return to Stephanie before continuing your escape from Talmberg Castle.
→ Recover the horse before leaving Talmberg Castle :Â
Before you leave, go to the castle courtyard and pick up the horse you used at the beginning of the RUN! quest to get away from Skalitz. You will recognize it, it is the only one that you will be able to climb without it being written « steal » when you approaching.
All you have to do is go back to Radim at the camp entrance and ask him to open the door for you with your horse and Talmberg armor.
→ Other methods to escape Talmberg Castle :
If you’re lazy enough to do all this, your other options are letting the guards catch you and throw you out of Talmberg, but that means you won’t be able to get a horse or jump off the drawbridge… Be careful, it’s dangerous!
