Istvan Toth's return in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is anything but glorious. He significantly impacts the game's first half, relentlessly harassing Henry and fueling the central conflict.

Their confrontation culminates at Nebakov Fortress. After escaping imprisonment, you confront Toth atop a tower to reclaim your sword. A crucial decision awaits: engage in an honorable duel or eliminate him swiftly. Time is of the essence.

Duel or Kill? The Choice is Yours

Your choice reflects Henry's moral compass. If you've prioritized honor, sparing surrendering foes and avoiding theft, a duel is the path of righteousness. The late-night, unguarded setting makes the fight relatively straightforward.

Alternatively, rejecting the duel results in a swift, dishonorable killing—Toth is stabbed and falls from the window.

Henry's Christian faith emphasizes honor, making this decision impactful.

Istvan Toth's Fate: A Necessary End

Regardless of your choice, Istvan Toth's demise is unavoidable. He cannot be spared, his death shaping Henry's journey and influencing subsequent events.

While his elimination is essential for reclaiming your sword, Toth's role is ultimately that of a pawn in Bohemia's larger conflicts. The sequel introduces other antagonists to replace him.
