Chumps on the River is an activity in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. According to the Ledetchko innkeeper, Vatzek, the archery master in Ledetchko, is hosting an archery competition called "Chumps".
Synopsis[]
I met an interesting fellow. He's an archer by the name of Vatzek and he told me about this game. It's called "Chumps" and is about hitting logs floating down the river.
Objectives[]
- (Optional) Shoot the most colored arrows into the logs.
- (Optional) Talk to Vatzek.
- Shoot with Vatzek again sometime.
- (Optional) Talk to Vatzek.
Walkthrough[]
This is a straightforward activity involving three archers shooting marked arrows at six logs floating down the river. Speak to Vatzek and ask him about the game, then select your bet. If you win, you'll get three times this amount. If you come in second place, you'll get your bet back. However, you'll instantly lose if you leave the playing area.
He will then give you 20 tournament arrows. You may wish to use a light, fast bow, as speed is of the essence. As soon as the game begins, race to the river and start firing at the logs, ideally keeping to the left of the other two archers to avoid being accidentally struck by their shots. (If you wish to cheat, you can mount your horse, race down the bank to the crossing, cross to the other side of the river, then gallop back to where the logs are floating. This will position you far closer to the logs, giving you an easier target.) The game will end when the logs reach the end of the course.
You may repeat the competition indefinitely. After the first time you manage to land 16 or more arrows, the next time Vatzek is spoken to, he will teach you some Bow skills. There is no additional benefit to achieving 16 or more hits again, and Vatzek will still remark that you are not up to his standard.
