How to start The Mouth of Hell quest?
The Mouth of Hell quest starts during your first visit to the village of Old Kutna in the Kuttenberg region. Approach the resident standing over the cow's carcass and start a conversation.
From the stories of the clergyman and the farmer, you will learn that a demon crawls out of the old mine shaft and causes trouble in the village. Henry is asked to solve the case of the underworld monster. You will also receive some food and drinks, which are supposed to be an offering for the monster.
Head to the mine's entrance. It is located west of the village. Climb down the ladder into the mine shaft.
Watch the cut-scene, after which Henry will lose consciousness.
How to escape from the mine and recover the equipment?
Henry will wake up at the bottom of the shaft, without all of his equipment. Head down the dark corridor towards the light.
At the crossroads, you can turn right. At the end of the dark tunnel, you will find a basket with a few schnapps. To continue, head towards the better lit, left corridor.
In the next room, pick up the torch lying on the barrel. It will light up your way.
In the illuminated cave, pick up the sword from the table. On the right side of the room, you will find a bed and a basket containing a lockpick. Use it to open the small box lying on the small altar (medium lock).
Inside you will find a lot of money and a knight's contract. Read it. Obtaining it is not necessary to complete the quest, but it allows you to complete it in the best, bloodless way.
Climb up the ladder. A moment later, you will stand face to face with a mysterious knight. If you have obtained and read the contract, you can recite the words of the contract, which will protect you from fighting the knight. Convince him that you came here as his replacement. The delighted warrior agrees to leave the mine.
If you failed to obtain the contract, you will have to fight, which is particularly difficult since you lost your equipment. After defeating the knight, you can take the key to the chest from his inventory, in which he hid your things.
How to peacefully end the quest?
If you managed to persuade the knight to leave the mine, you will meet a group of villagers on the surface.
To defuse the tension, show the villagers the contract signed by the previous village clergyman. Now you will have to pass another skill check to convince the conflicting parties that it is not worth continuing the dispute. In our case, the persuasion option worked.
If you fail to ease the tension, the villagers and Taras will turn on each other. To complete the quest, you will have to side with the knight or the villagers and defeat the opponents.
Regardless of how you resolve the conflict, The Mouth of Hell quest will end.
