At the end of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you finally face Istvan Toth at Nebakov Fortress. You have two choices: fight him in a duel or kill him instantly.
Here’s a simple guide to help you decide what to choose and the outcomes.
Option 1: Kill Istvan Instantly (Dishonorable Way)
If you don’t care about fairness, you can stab him right away. No fight, no risk.
How to Kill Him Quickly
When the duel starts, decline it.
Henry automatically stabs Istvan, and he falls out the window.
That’s it. Fight over.
Outcome:
Istvan dies instantly without a fight.
You still get your sword back.
Option 2: Duel Istvan Toth (Honorable Way)
If you want to fight like a true knight, accept Istvan’s duel. The good news? He isn’t wearing armor, making this fight easier than most.
How to Win the Duel
Block first, attack second – Let him swing, then counter.
Use fast strikes – Aim for head and chest since he has no armor.
Manage stamina – Don’t swing wildly; save energy for counters.
Win clinches – Press F when close to push him back.
Bait him into mistakes – Dodge his heavy swings and punish him.
Outcome:
You defeat him fairly and regain your sword.
He still dies, but at least you fought with honor… If you care.
Which Should You Choose?
Duel if you want honor and a proper fight.
Kill him instantly if you just want to end it fast.
Either way, Istvan Toth dies—there’s no saving him, and it ultimately doesn’t really matter in the long-term which choice you make. Just do what your gut tells you!
