Best Builds & Skills to Master Before Starting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – Mysteria Ecclesiae

on

You're about to enter the plague-stricken Sedletz Monastery in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Mysteria Ecclesiae DLC, but your combat-hardened Henry might be completely unprepared for what awaits.

While you’ve spent hours mastering swordplay, this investigation-focused expansion demands an entirely different approach. Failing to prepare could leave you trapped in quarantine without the tools to succeed.

This comprehensive guide walks you through the best skills, perks, and pre-DLC items you’ll need before starting Mysteria Ecclesiae—ensuring you’re ready to unravel the monastery’s dark mystery from day one.

🕯️ Why Preparation Is Critical for Mysteria Ecclesiae

Unlike most content in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, this DLC changes the game’s rhythm entirely. Here’s why careful prep is non-negotiable:

  • The Quarantine Lockdown: Once you enter the monastery and the plague outbreak begins, you’ll be completely isolated until you finish the story. No stores, no alchemy benches, no chests—just your wits and what you bring.

  • Investigation Over Combat: The DLC prioritizes dialogue, deduction, and stealth. Your sword won’t save you here—your mind will.

  • Missable Content: Without key skills, you could lose access to unique quests, clues, and even trophies.

📚 Essential Skills to Level Up Before Starting

1. Scholarship (Most Important)

This is the single most valuable skill in Mysteria Ecclesiae. High Scholarship unlocks critical dialogue options, investigation clues, and medical insights vital to understanding the plague mystery.

How to Level It:

  • Read every book you can find.

  • Choose Scholarship-based dialogue options whenever possible.

  • Pair it with Speech to maximize investigation efficiency.

2. Speech & Charisma

High Speech and Charisma are your golden tickets through monastery politics. You’ll need them to:

  • Convince witnesses to talk

  • Access restricted areas through persuasion

  • Discover hidden clues

  • Maintain trust and alliances

Target: Aim for 25+ Charisma using skill points and outfit bonuses.

3. Alchemy

While not the main focus, Alchemy can save your life during quarantine. Potions play a role in key side tasks and general survival.

Recommended Potions to Brew:

  • Marigold Decoction: Healing

  • Embirium Potion: Strength boost

  • Special Quest Potions: As noted in your journal objectives

4. Stealth

When charm fails, stealth prevails. With guards, monks, and restrictions aplenty, stealth offers alternate routes for clue-hunting.

Pro Tip: Train Stealth to at least level 8 before the DLC.

🏅 Must-Have Perks for the DLC

These perks dramatically enhance your investigative power and survival odds:

  • Liberal Arts (Scholarship 10): Reveals dialogue difficulty levels before choosing an answer.

  • Silver-Tongued (Speech 12): Lowers Charisma check requirements by 5, making tough conversations easier.

  • Healing Supplies: Bandages, decoctions, and medicinal potions

  • 20+ Lockpicks: Alternative access routes for restricted areas
