Tracking Down Poachers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's "Bird of Prey" Quest
The "Bird of Prey" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires tracking down five elusive poachers. This guide provides locations and strategies for finding each, minimizing conflict where possible.
Poacher #1

Locate this poacher north of the pond mentioned at the quest's start. Venture into the forest, navigating through the dense undergrowth. Their camp is easily discovered. This poacher is easily persuaded to surrender; avoid violence to maintain your reputation. Secure a piece of their equipment as proof.
Poacher #2

This poacher presents a tougher challenge. While dialogue with quest-related NPCs can help, the image above pinpoints their location. High persuasion skills are needed for a peaceful resolution; otherwise, prepare for combat and seize their equipment.
Poacher #3

Seek information from Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia. The poacher's initial camp in Slatego Forest will be empty, but search for clues. Head west to the second location; you'll find wolves guarding the poacher's remains. Eliminate the wolves and take their equipment as evidence.
Poacher #4

This encounter involves three poachers deep within the woods. Direct confrontation isn't necessary. Examine three key pieces of evidence: a deer carcass, a deer hide, and a hanging deer carcass. This proof suffices to report back to the gamekeeper, who will then handle the apprehension.
Poacher #5

The final poacher is Hans, located near rocks on the western edge of the designated area. Apprehension is impossible; instead, collect his poaching kit as evidence.
Complete the "Bird of Prey" quest by returning to the gamekeeper with the gathered proof. Remember, peaceful resolutions are ideal to maintain your reputation.
