The Necessary Evil quest revolves around finding the leader of the Bandits who is calling the ambushes. Initially, players will have to interrogate a captured bandit in the torture chamber to learn about the leader. After learning a bit of truth, report back to von Bergow to get a hunting party to visit Semine. Upon reaching Semine, players will have to make a crucial choice of either siding with Semine or von Bergow.

Here are all the main objectives that you must complete in the Necessary Evil quest.

1. Interrogate the prisoner in the torture chamber

As the quest begins, speak with Capon to discuss what to do with the prisoner. After a brief conversation, follow Capon to the Torture Chamber and interact with the cell door to begin the interrogation.

NOTE: Apply minimal pressure on the bandit, otherwise, he will die. Ask about the bandits location and their leader, and punch or threaten him with the tongs to learn the truth.

Start a bit harshly and ask him about the location of the bandits. Threaten him with the tongs and he will reveal that they have a camp at Nebakov. Now, ask him about the leader and punch a couple of times so that he tell the truth. If you fail the skill check, threaten him again with tongs and he will reveal the name Jan.

Moving on, you need to ask more about the leader and who gives them orders. Repeat the same strategy of threatening the prisoner and slapping/punching him. He will reveal that Olda Semine gave them the order for the ambush. After that, you can end the interrogation and you will get to speak with Hans. Here, you will get the choice to either share the information regarding Semine to von Bergow or not. If you want to side with von Bergow, you can share the news, and if you want to side with Semine, then hold this information back for now.

NOTE: However, the initial outcome of the interrogation will always send you to Semine to speak with Olda. The main choice that impacts the action will be given to you in Semine.

2. Inform von Bergow of the interrogation results

Now, find von Bergow and speak to him regarding the interrogation. Here, you will get to mention that Semine is in the league with the bandits, and the bandits are hiding in Nebakov. Even though if you do not reveal that Semine is in touch with the bandits, von Bergow will already have a suspicion on Olda Semine because he vanished during his wedding at the time of the ambush.

As a result, von Bergow will order Hashek to ready the men and go to Semine to learn the truth. Moreover, you and Hans will also join the hunting party to Semine.

3. Wait till Hashek ready his army

After the conversation with von Bergow, you can prepare for the ride ahead. Make sure to repair your armour and weapons as you will engage in a fight at the Semine. Moreover, you have to wait until the evening. You can pass the time or sleep until the evening to get going with Hashek. Moreover, you can also speak with Hans about it and wait with him until evening.

4. Ride with soldiers and Capon to Semine

Once you are ready, inform Hashek and then follow the soldiers and Capon to Semine. Simply follow them until you reach the Semine and a cutscene will begin.

5. Confronting Semine

NOTE: Your choices matter here so, choose carefully whether you would like to side with Semine or von Bergow.

As the cutscene ends, you will engage in a conversation with Sir Jan Semine. Listen to the conversation between Hashek and Sir Jan until they get into a heated argument about Olda. If you are trying to get with Semine, then select the “Olda deserves a trial” dialogue choice. It will give you a choice of choosing a side. Now, select the “Nothing is going to burn” choice. However, if you want to side with von Bergow, then select the “I’m on your side” dialogue choice.

We sided with Semine as it was looking like the best option here because von Bergow only ordered to learn the truth, not burning down Semine.

6. Kill the soldiers

After making your choice, you will have to defeat the soldiers. Attack them one by one to easily defeat them.

Upon defeating the soldiers, you will get to speak with Semine and his son Olda. Ask Olda about the bandits and why joined them. Moreover, he can also tell you about Istvan Toth. After speaking with Semine, you need to tell Semine that we have to cover our attacks. The only way to do it is to burn Semine down.

7. Report to von Bergow in the morning

Watch the cutscene of watching Semine burn and then make your way back to Trosky Castle. You can fast travel back to the Castle. Sleep in your quarters until morning to restore health and pass the time. Now, speak with von Bergow to report to him. You will get various options in explaining the incident. The best way to do this is to let Capon speak. Capon will explain everything to von Bergow and at the end you will get a few more options. Simply, keep quiet at this point as well and the conversation will end.
