Guide: Completing Canker Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To complete the "Canker" side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, follow these detailed steps:

Pick Up the Canker Side Quest

To initiate the "Canker" quest, head to Semine and speak with Gules. This quest can be easily picked up during the wedding of Lord Semine and Agnes, where you can find Gules drinking beforehand. Alternatively, you can start it earlier by visiting Semine and talking to Gules while he's on patrol. Ask him about his former bandit associates and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker, one of these former bandits, becomes your first target.

Find and Kill Canker

Upon accepting the quest, Canker's location will appear on your map, north of Nebakov Mill. Be cautious as the path to this location is often patrolled by bandits who may attempt to ambush you. You can choose to sneak past them, engage in combat, or simply flee. While these random bandits are generally not difficult to defeat, it's best to avoid unnecessary fights to conserve your health for the upcoming battle.

Canker's camp is nestled in the mountains and can be tricky to find. You'll need to navigate through a narrow gap to reach it, similar to accessing the Hermit's house during the "Wedding Crashers" quest. Prepare for combat before entering, as you'll face several bandits alongside Canker. While some bandits might flee depending on the order in which you engage them, it's crucial to eliminate most of them. Fortunately, Canker will not run away, ensuring you can complete the quest by killing him.

Finish the Quest and Return to Gules

After defeating Canker and his companions, loot Canker's body to obtain the Light Mace, which serves as proof of your success. Feel free to take any additional items you find on him. Once you have the mace, return to Gules in Semine to complete the quest.

After completing "Canker," you'll need to wait a full in-game day before you can pick up the next quest involving Gules' former bandit associates. Once the day has passed, speak with Gules again to start "Handsome Charlie."
