Matchmaker is a side quest played from the perspective of Theresa in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance DLC A Woman's Lot. Theresa assists Johanka in a plot to get Matthias to ask her to a village dance.
Synopsis[]
Henry's mother lets Theresa know that Johanka would like to speak with her, although you can go straight to Johanka to start the quest immediately. She's looking for Theresa's help convincing Matthias to invite her to the dance. Johanka's plan involves stealing Matthias' lucky dice, so she can return it to gain his favour.
Objectives[]
- See to it that Matthias invites Johanka to the dance.
- (Optional) Bring Matthias's lucky dice to Johanka.
- (Optional) Get Fritz to tell you about lockpicking.
Walkthrough[]
Speak with Johanka to learn about her scheme to seduce Matthias into asking her to the dance. You may choose to help, or opt out of the quest. If you agree to help you can always back out later, and that will give you the optional opportunity to see Fritz about theft. He can be convinced to give you free Lockpicks, sell you additional ones, or train you in Lockpicking. This ability can open doors for Theresa outside the quest, so it's recommended. Once committed to helping, there are two main ways to complete the quest.
Next, go see Matthias. You have a couple options to proceed.
If you wish to fulfil Johanka's plan, Matthias stubbornly sits outside his home which makes it somewhat difficult to enter unobserved - especially with his parents wandering about. You may trick Matthias into leaving his bench with Speech and Persuasion checks, or trespass to quickly unlock the chest without being observed as he walks in. If you get caught and the guards end up confiscating the dice, it may no longer be possible to complete the quest in this way. Once you've stolen Matthias' dice without being caught you can return to Johanka to complete the quest - but Matthias doesn't seem pleased.
Alternately, you may convince Matthias to ask Johanka out directly with Speech and Persuasion. The easiest option is telling Matthias that Johanka likes him, and that he should go ask her, while offering to dance with him yourself is more difficult. Successfully managing this will enable you to talk to Johanka to complete the quest despite her initial anger. If you wish, after the quest is complete you can follow Johanka to see how things turn out. The persuasion route also allows Theresa to still steal and keep the die for herself for an edge playing farkle at the local tavern.
