Quests: The Italian Job, Civitas Pragensis, So It Begins…, Besieged, Hunger and Despair (25–29).
Opens: The council, Suchdol, and the siege.
Watch for: True Cardinal is the church council without suspicion, in The Italian Job. Martyr came earlier, automatically, in Oratores.
1. The council
The legate, and the martyrdom the story needs.
-
1
The Italian Job
The church council. True Cardinal is getting through it without raising suspicion.
-
2
Civitas Pragensis
Not Prague: the quest opens in Suchdol fortress after the escape with the royal silver, with Zizka, Rosa and Erik’s challenge to a duel that Henry can accept or refuse.
2. The siege
Inside the walls.
-
1
So It Begins…
The siege opens. Stock food, potions and bandages: the next two quests do not let you shop.
-
2
Besieged
The walls hold. Fights on the ramparts, sorties, and the first hunger.
-
3
Hunger and Despair
When they stop holding. The chapter the title warned you about.
3. Fights and trophies
- The ramparts: Polearms for reach, a shield for the arrows.
- The sorties: Groups; the wall at your back.
4. Before you move on
Cross-checked
Cross-checked on 17 September 2026 against PowerPyx’s main-quest walkthrough and trophy roadmap (the quest order, the two points of no return and the quest-bound trophies) and PCGamesN’s quest list; the route is the guides’, not from a playthrough. What is still unverified is the only thing reading cannot settle — nobody here has played it. Re-checked on 1 October 2026 against EliteGuias, Vandal and Fextralife: Civitas Pragensis takes place in Suchdol, not Prague, so the chapter is no longer titled after Prague.
