How to pass the blacksmith guild trial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

by

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, successfully completing the guild trial marks the beginning of your journey to earn legitimate recognition as a skilled blacksmith. If, like many players, you crafted only one hunting sword during the original game and primarily sourced your equipment through theft and violent encounters with bandits, you may require some refresher tips.

The trial at the blacksmith’s guild involves two parts: a written test featuring some questions, followed by a practical test where you’ll need to craft a high-quality longsword according to guild standards. I’ve compiled all the possible answers for the written test and provided a detailed guide on how to create a longsword that will pass the exam in the steps that follow.

All guild trial answers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In the initial stage of the exam to earn accreditation as a blacksmith within the guild, you’ll be presented with three unpredictable questions. If you happen to answer any incorrectly, you’ll falter in the theory portion of the test. This means you’ll need to craft a more superior weapon to continue. It’s important to mention that while you can spend money to reattempt the weapon forging, your answers to the questions are limited to one attempt (with the exception of loading a saved game).

You have the chance to buy a book titled ‘On the Blacksmith’s Craft.’ This book conceals its solutions within its text, but if you’re already here (or find the task of searching for them daunting), you might want to save your money because I’ll provide all questions and answers below.

Question Answer
Why do blacksmiths whistle when they work? To keep rhythm
How can you tell you’ve made progress on your workpiece? By the shape
What’s the final step in completing a piece? Quenching
I’d like to ask Henry if sparks while forging are a good or a bad sign? That depends

How to forge the blacksmiths’ guild longsword

As a gamer, I can tell you this: If I stumble in the trivia section, it’s clear I’ve got to up my game for the hands-on test. Luckily, acing the questions gets me by with a Level II blacksmith’s guild longsword. But if I falter, I might need to step up to Level III. If I mess up the forging process, I can give it another try for 200 groschen, but if I flub twice, there’s an under-the-table option to pay 400 and move on with the exam.

Otherwise, here’s the step-by-step for how to forge the sword:

  1. Select the forge and choose the blacksmiths’ guild longsword from the longsword section.
  2. Hold Q to heat the metal in the forge, moving it back and forth with the mouse until it has a consistent straw yellow colour in all three sections. Sparks mean the forge is too hot, so lay off Q for a bit if that occurs.
  3. Now, take it to the anvil by pressing R.
  4. Hold the left mouse button and release to hammer the blade, moving down it with each strike as you do (if you’re doing this right it’ll produce sparks). You’ll want to keep a consistent pace, and if your pace is perfect, Henry will whistle for as long as you maintain it.
  5. After going up or down a few times, the colour will have likely faded, so return it to the forge until it’s straw yellow in all sections again.
  6. Now flip the blade with F and do the other side. Rinse and repeat this process. If you’re doing it right, the blade will take shape and blacksmiths will comment that you’re doing a good job.
  7. Once you’ve hammered it enough, you’ll get the option to press E to quench and finish it.

Regardless of whether you can get Henry to whistle continuously, aim to time your hits consistently. Furthermore, disregard it if one of the blacksmiths exclaims “He’s messing it up!” as you can still craft a high-quality II sword even with such remarks.
