Siliconera Monday, February 10, 2025 3:00 PM Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth Nendoroids Shown, and Great Ace Attorney Ones Teased
The next new Ace Attorney figures are two Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids and Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth Nendoroid Dolls. Good Smile Company brought all four of them up at Wonder Festival 2025 Winter. No release dates came up, but we should see the dolls debut first. This is because the two of them appeared as painted prototypes with full sets of clothing at the event.
As Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth are Nendoroid Dolls, they act a bit different than the traditional figures. These tend to come with one face plate, and perhaps an extra pair of hands. They are compatible with normal Nendoroids, so if someone got the ones that released a few years back they can use those face plates, hands, and accessories with these. The outfits are one-size fit all. This means you could put Phoenix in Miles' suit, and vice versa.
Here's how those two look:
As for the Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids, official concept art for two appeared. These would bring lead character Ryunosuke Naruhodo and rival Kazuma Asogi to life. Each of these appeared in the signature chibi style used for these types of figures. This means we don't know what their accessories could look like.
Here is the concept art for both of them.
The Ace Attorney Nendoroid Dolls of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth and Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids of Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Kazuma Asogi are in development, with no release dates available for any of the figures yet. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is on the Switch, PS4, and PC, and the original games appeared on the 3DS and mobile devices in Japan. The last Ace Attorney entry to appear was the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Good Smile Company brought two NieR: Automata A2 figures to show off at Wonder Festival 2025 Winter, with one being a scale figure and the other a figma. Both appeared at the painted prototype stage of development. This means we could end up seeing pre-orders for each of them appear in the next few weeks. It is unknown if they're based just on the game, or on the anime adaptation as well.
Both of the A2 figures at the event seem to be depicted wielding the Type-4O Sword. In the case of the scale figure, she is actively striking and attacking with it. The figma features her holding it at her side. As usual, the scale figure comes with no additional parts and features the character locked in a static pose. However, the figma is a posable one with points of articulation at the ankles, needs, hips, waist, torso, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck. The figma will also come with additional face plates. However, it is unknown if it will include an extra hair part.
Here are the two preliminary photos for the two in-progress figures.
These are only two A2 items on the way. A 1/4 version of the character with Cruel Arrogance launches later in 2025. Also, the figma line based on the series already includes 2B.
There's no word yet on when these two NieR: Automata A2 figures will be released. The game is available on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and Windows PC. There is also an anime adaptation that is available to stream via Crunchyroll.

Ren Isuzu, a magical girl who appeared in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Record and the anime and manga inspired by it, will also be in the upcoming Magia Exedra game as a playable character. There's a new trailer briefly looking at her in the title. In addition, the game now passed 600,000 pre-registrations, which means a new tier of rewards ended up unlocked.
Ren is voiced by Yuka Ozaki, who also played her in in the previous game. She's always been known for being quite shy, which was exacerbated by bullying. She ended up making a contract and becoming a magical girl as a result of a tragic situation caused by being pushed to the edge of despair.
Here's the Ren Isuzu Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Record character trailer:
Prior to this update, we'd unlocked 3,000 Magica Stones, a Door to a New Kioku five-star Portrait, and a five-star Lux Magica Madoka Kaname Kioku. The latest unlock at 600,000 preregistrations means we'll also get two Magia Keys and a fan kit for Iroha Tamaki, Tsuruno Yui, and Yachiyo Nanami. The 700,000 tier adds a Kyoko Sakura, Mami Tomoe, and Sayaka Miki fan kit and three more Magia Keys. The 800,000 tier involves five Magia Keys and a fan kit for Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname.
Here are many of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra character trailers we've seen so far:
Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra will come to the PC and mobile devices in Spring 2025.

As part of Wonder Festival 2025 Winter, Apex-Toys shared a new Unicorn Overlord figure of Berengaria. She's the former Tricorn Mercenaries leader who eventually joins our army in the game. Since the item is still fairly early in development, we don't know when it will be released or how much it will cost.
Only one photo of the Berengaria prototype figure appeared at WonHobby 39. She's in the unpainted prototype phase, so we only had a general idea of how she will look. However, her armor and full-body suit are entirely black and crimson, and we included a screenshot from the game to highlight how her official art looks. The initial image suggests she'll also be equipped with the same Iron Axe and Iron Greatshield she holds when you recruit her in-game.
Here's how Berengaria looks so far, and there's a screenshot from the game alongside her to allow someone to compare the two.
As a reminder, you can not only recruit Berengaria in the game. She is also one of the characters it is possible to marry.
There are quite a few Unicorn Overlord figures that are already available or on the way. Kotobukiya already established that it is working on ones of Yahna, Rosalinde, Eltolinde, and Scarlett. Those are at various stages of development. It also confirmed in 2025 that a Melisandre figure is in the works too. While all of these items will appear in Japan first, we'll also eventually see them at retailers that ship worldwide or stores in North America.
There's no word yet on when Apex-Toys will release its Berengaria Unicorn Overlord figure. Unicorn Overlord is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Kotobukiya is working on Melisandre, Yahna, Rosalinde, Eltolinde, and Scarlett figures as well.

Early on in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you're given a side quest called Mice from Innkeeper Prochek in the small town of Tachov. He wants you to pain the bull of Landowner Olbram from the neighboring town of Zhelejov. But should you pain the bull or rat out Prochek for the Mice quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Should you paint the bull for the Mice quest or rat out Prochek and do the Frogs quest?
While both quests will progress this quest chain to the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest, I recommend ratting out Prochek over painting the bull. Doing so will fail the Mice quest, but give you access to a new quest called Frogs, which actually has better quest rewards. Here are all the completion possibilities and rewards for both the Mice and Frogs quests:
What happens if you paint the bull and complete the Mice quest?
If you choose to side with Innkeeper Prochek of Tachov, you'll need to follow through with painting the bull. After getting the quest from him, speak to Radovan the Blacksmith in Tachov who will tell you about a Lullaby Potion that can put animals to sleep. Then, head to Tailor Bartoshek in Troskowitz who will sell you some Red Dye for 60 Groschen. If you have high speech, you can actually get the dye for free.
Next, you'll need to craft the Lullaby Potion at an Alchemy Bench by following this recipe:
The stronger the quality Lullaby Potion you make, the less you will need to be successful. You can expect to use three doses in total.
Finally, head to Zhelejov and into the barn where the bull resides. Approach the Stone Trough in the barn and pour the Lullaby Potion in, but make sure you're not spotted by anyone as this is of course illegal. Be careful not to put too much in, as it can kill the bull and fail the quest completely.
After a few hours, the bull will fall asleep, and you can approach it and interact with it to pain it. No matter what you paint on it, the quest will be complete. Head back to Prochek and report on your success and you will receive 85 Groschen and some Reputation.
What happens if you rat our Prochek instead?
As you can see, the reward for completing the Mice quest isn't that great. If you choose to rat out Prochek and tell Old Olbram about his plan, you will immediately fail the Mice quest but unlock the Frogs side quest. For this quest, Olbram wants you to steal the Maypole from Tachov.
You have two options for completing the Frogs side quest: luring Henik away from the Maypole, or knocking out Henik. For the first option, visit Henik at the maypole and speak with him. He will talk about his crush on Manka, by but being able to actually meet with her due to guarding the Maypole. Choose the option "I'll take over for you, so you two can go out."
Go to sleep and the next morning head to the tavern in Tachov and you will find Manka. Tell her that you are going to watch the Maypole so her and Henik can go on a date, then go and sleep again until it is night time.
Visit Henik at the Maypole and tell him Manka agreed to the date. He will then start to leave. You need to wait until Henik is completely gone from the area, and then you can climb and collect the Tachov Maypole.
The other option is to visit Innkeeper Prochek in Tacho and ask about the Maypole using various speech skills. Prochek will talk about his love for Manka as well, and ask you to beat up Henik so he lets her be. If you agree, then wait until it's dark and visit the Maypole and speak with Henik. Ask Henik about his brothers, why they left, and when Henik plans to run off. He will be upset, and start a fight with you. Simply win to knock him out, then take the Maypole.
Return to Zhelejov and speak with Olbram to turn in the Maypole for a reward of 45 Groschen. This isn't as much for going the other route, however, it opens up an additional objective in which you can create a nuisance at Tachov. Agree to do it then head to the Alchemist and purchase a Digestive Potion. Finally, head to the tavern in the morning around 8AM and add a Digestive Potion to the food being prepared inside. Wait until 2PM and head to the market location on the map at the sheep farm, and you should notice Alshik is not there.
Walk up to and push six of the sheep out of the pasture and into the western forest beside the sheep farm. This will complete the objective, but you also have an optional objective to soil some of the laundry that you can find nearby. To do so, simply push a sheep towards that area, and it will do the deed. Doing this optional quest, however, will lose you reputation with Tachov.
Return to Olbram at Zhelejov and you can completely finish the Frogs side quest which will earn you 175 Groschen. Regardless of which you chose, you will now have access to the Frogs and Mice side quest.

While enjoying the Semine wedding as part of Wedding Crashers in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Henry is asked by a worried mother if he would mind taking her daughter Doubravka for a dance, even at the cost of his toes.
But did you know that, unlike Myshka, you can actually romance her during the celebration? Here's how to romance Doubravka in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
How to unlock the Doubravka romance
During the wedding celebration, you can trigger the Doubravka objective and the ability to romance her in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 by heading to the secondary entrance to the Semine courtyard, which will prompt her mother to call you over. After talking to her and accepting her request, you will be able to talk to Doubravka by heading to the fireplace facing your position.
You can check out the exact spot where you can find Doubravka's mother below. The objective can be triggered from the moment you arrive at the party.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Doubravka romance guide
Once you talk to Doubravka, you will be able to romance her in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 by first having that dance. There's no way to mess up here, as even if you fail both of the optional stat checks during the conversation, Doubravka will still agree to dance after having a cup of wine for courage. If you don't have wine with you, you will be able to get it by picking up any of the silver cups across the party.
After the dance, select "You dance like an elf (Lie)" while having a Persuasion stat of 11+. This is a must, as failing the check will lock you away from the romance. Now, simply wait for the ceremony to end and then talk to Doubravka again by the fireplace before selecting the following dialogue options:
After romancing her, you can talk to Doubravka again for a disappointing truth regarding the encounter. Completing it will also allow you to enjoy the Time Well Spent buff and its +1 boost in Vitality, Agility, and Strength until the end of Wedding Crashers.
Now that you know how to romance Doubravka, don't forget to also check out how to haul sacks to the charcoal shed and complete From Whom the Bells Tollss quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, after arriving at the Nomad's Camp and speaking to Voivode, you'll learn that his daughter, Marika, has gone missing. He'll tell you that she was last seen with Bozhena. Outside of this, it's a complete mystery. Here's how to complete Miri Fajta and find Marika.
Table of contents
KCD2 Miri Fajta quest walkthrough
You'll initially start Miri Fajta by talking to the Nomad Camp's Voivode, who tells you his daughter, Marika, has suddenly vanished. It's been two days since anyone's seen her, but all they found was her tracks past Bozhena's hut toward Apollonia.
You have two choices: go to Bozhena for more information or search Marika's tent for more clues. She has a small tent next to Aranka's, now with a bunch of cloth strewn around the floor. You'll find her scarf next to a chest, which serves as a helpful clue later in the quest.
With Marika's scarf in hand, head to Bozhena's cabin to learn more about Marika's whereabouts. You'll learn that she visited the herbwoman with her lover before traveling to Apollonia. However, beyond a quest circle, the only hint you have is that you're looking for a valley with two large boulders and a small one in the middle.
Where to find Marika in KCD2
Marika is located within a cave in Apollonia. As you approach the quest marker from the west side, you'll notice blood splatters on the ground leading down a path, with bloody clothing scattered about as you get closer. Once you turn a corner, you'll spot Bozhena's hint — in this case, a boulder between two large cliffs — that'll bring you right to Marika and her lover.
If you've completed Mutt's quest and reunited with him, you can use him to track Marika's scent using her scarf. He'll lead you to the exact ravine where she and her lover are staying, making the search much easier. Otherwise, if you've yet to find him, you can head to the map location above to encounter her.
As you enter the cave, you'll find Marika eating while an injured Bohush is on the ground. Talk to Marika to learn more about her predicament: It turns out that Marika voluntarily ran away, as her family, including Voivide, isn't completely innocent in this situation.
She'll ask you to return to the Nomad's Camp to get assistance from her mother. If your Survival skills are high, you can help Bohush yourself. Failing the interaction loses your reputation with Marika, but there aren't any major consequences beyond this. You can also give Marika her scarf for a reputation boost.
Now that you've found Marika, it's time to return to the Nomad's Camp and help Bohush recover. You can fast-travel to locations like Zhelejov or Semine to make the trip easier, but it'll be a lengthy walk regardless.
If you want, you can jump straight into asking Voivode about the amulet or talk to Aranka first to get some Marigold and bandages. She'll recommend obtaining some Comfrey if his situation is dire, which you can find in Troskowitz. Since Troskowitz is on the way to Apollonia, we'll keep this location in mind for later.
How to get Voivode's Amulet in KCD2
Once you're ready to talk to Voivode, he'll reveal his side of the story, matching what Marika told you in the cave. Before he'll give you the amulet, he requests your help freeing his son Tibor from captivity in Semine. Since he and his family aren't welcome there anymore, you're the only one he now trusts to handle the situation. As a bonus, if you run out of Marigold at any point, you'll find more on your way here.
Rescuing Tibor
Upon arriving in Semine, you'll quickly realize Bohush and Marika's situation is the talk of the town. Most characters will know about Tibor, telling you the Saddler's workers captured him. You'll find a new marker in the southwestern part of town.
However, no one wants to get involved in this situation, forcing you to save Tibor yourself. You can do this in two ways: Talk to the workers at the Saddler or sneak into the barn and free Tibor yourself.
If you try to talk to the Saddler, he won't give you any information and will tell you not to delve deeper. Instead, you'll want to talk to either Guildsman Janek or the Hired Hand near the barn, who'll reveal they've tied Tibor up and locked him in the barn. As you continue to pry, the NPC will question why they'd let him go, leading to the following Speech checks:
The choices may differ slightly depending on who you talk to, but either way, you'll have some persuasion options that can convince them to tell you where the key to the barn is. However, failing these will result in a fight between you and the Saddler workers, so be prepared for that possibility. At this point of the story, I had Persuasion level eight and was able to pass the second option's check just fine.
If you succeed the check, Guildsman Janek or the Hired Hand will tell you there's a key on a crate that'll unlock the barn door where Tibor is held captive. Entering this area is trespassing, but as long as you're somewhat sneaky and don't let anyone see you, you won't run into too many problems.
Alternatively, you can sneak into the barn to free Tibor yourself. There's always someone guarding it during the day, but if you sneak around the back and jump through a window, you can rescue him without too many issues. Either way, freeing Tibor will lead to the two of you escaping out a window into a nearby forest.
Untie Gejza's body
Before returning to the Nomad's Camp, you'll need to free Gejza's body and bury it to honor his demise. To do this, head west of Semine toward a nearby woodcutter's camp and talk to any of the nearby woodcutter's to be redirected to the foreman. After some back and forth, you'll have some persuasion options regarding Gejza's burial:
This one's slightly tougher to convince than the previous NPCs, and will also result in a fight if you lose. Regardless of whether you persuade them, pay, or fight your way through, you'll find Gejza's body directly west of the woodcutter's camp, were you can untie him and carry him to the burial site. They'll be grateful for your help, and the four of you will return to the Nomad's Camp.
Where to find Voivode's Letter of Safe Conduct in KCD2
Voivode's Letter of Safe Conduct is directly north of Marika's cave, inside a tree's trunk. After returning to Marika and telling her about the situation, she'll tell you about a well with a hollowed out tree next to it. Searching this tree will give you the letter.
Although we're approaching the end of the Miri Fajta quest, Voivode first reveals some more information: he can't give you the amulet without having the letter of safe conduct be originally got from the Emperor. Marika took this letter from him and asks you to retrieve it from her. It's time to return to Apollonia.
Before going back, though, make sure you have Marigold and Comfrey for Marika and Bohush. You'll find both in Troskowitz in the Apothecary's herb garden.
Once you arrive in Apollonia, you'll find wolves around the cave's entrance. Although you can try to steer them away from the entrance and jump in, your best bet is to defend against them until they run away. After handling them, talk to Marika to learn about the letter's location.
Following the quest markers, you'll arrive next to a stream with a well nearby. If you don't spot it right away, look for a small puddle of water with a bucket next to it and a "Well" marker. You'll find a tree next to it that you can interact with to receive the letter.
From here, you can experience multiple endings for the Miri Fajta quest. While we'll primarily focus on the most positive ending, I'll briefly mention the others as well.
All Miri Fajta quest endings in KCD2
Once you have the Letter of Safe Conduct, head back to the Nomad's Camp and talk to the Voivode. From here, you have several options that'll influence your ending.
Betraying Marika
If you choose "Here's the letter, to hell with Marika," you'll complete the quest without bringing Marika back to the Nomad's Camp. The Voivode will give you 85 Groschen as a reward without you having to return to Marika. However, the Voivode will be upset about it later, and Aranka will, understandably, be upset about never seeing her daughter again.
Help Marika
Instead, if you want to help Marika and still receive a reward, talk to Aranka first. She'll tell you the Voivode enjoys engaging in bets and that you can use this to win the amulet. Once you talk to the Voivode about it, he's initially reluctant, but after some pushing, he agrees to it as long as Tibor is the one who represents him.
Once the bet begins, you'll take part in up to three competitions:
If you manage to win the first two matches, you'll automatically win without playing Dice. Otherwise, you'll need to brush up on your Dice skills and have some good luck to get the amulet.
Of these three competitions, horse riding is the most challenging, as Tibor's horse is pretty fast. Going with the horse the Voivode gives you won't work, as Tibor's will fly past with no hope of catching up. That is, unless you resort to cheating. You have two options for winning the race:
If you have one of the game's best horses already, you won't have to worry about Tibor's outpacing you unless you mess up on pathing. Otherwise, talk to Aranka to get a potion you can pour into the horse's trough to give it a stomachache, making it much easier to win the race.
You can use a similar strategy for the second match with Tibor. While you can fight him fair and square, you can ask Aranka for a sleep potion to pour into Tibor's drink to make him sleepy. That way, he'll be sluggish, making it much easier to defeat him.
If you lost either of these matches, you'll have to take part in a Dice match with the Voivode himself. This is mostly luck-based, but you can ask Aranka for a special dice to make things easier. Aside from this, the rules and mechanics are the same as any typical Dice game.
Once you win two of the three matches, the Voivode will personally visit Marika. After a sweet conversation between the two, you'll return to the camp, wrapping up Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Miri Fajta quest.

After escorting Gamekeeper Vostatek back to his home after completing the Lackey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Vostatek will give you the follow-up quest Bird of Prey. For this quest, you'll need to know where to find several Poachers that are plaguing the nearby woods. Here is where you can find them all.
Where to find the Rocktower Pond Poacher
As your quest log for the Bird of Prey side quest indicates, you will want to wait until just before dawn or just after dusk to find the Poacher. If you look at the area indicated on the map above, the Poacher has a camp set up just inside the woods. You can either choose to wait nearby in the bushes by his camp and encounter him when he returns to camp, or you can head just south down towards the river and you will find the Poacher at the location indicated above.
Upon encountering the Poacher, he will tell you that food has been scarce and he's just trying to feed his family. You have the option of hearing him out, or arresting him and turning him in a Troskowitz as Vostatek demanded.
If you choose to hear him out, he will tell you about two potential deer hunting locations. However, if you do choose to arrest him, keep in mind the punishment in Trosky for poaching is death.
Regardless of your decision, return back to Vostatek to update him on the situation and progress the Bird of Prey quest.
Where to find the Vidlak Pond Poacher
For the next part of the Bird of Prey quest, Vostatek will indicate there is another Poacher by the nearby Vidlak pond. If you want some more information on tracking down this Poacher, you can speak to the tanner in the nearby town. He doesn't know anything about the Poacher, but if you exhaust his dialogue options, he will tell you about a nearby clearing that may be where the Poacher is hiding.
You can also choose to speak to the nearby fishermen, who will at first claim the tanner is the Poacher. However, after further inquiries, they will inform you have a hidden path behind their house that leads into the force, marked by strange Pagan idols.
Following these idols will lead to the same clearing, but if you continue further north, you will eventually come to another Poachers' Camp. This is where the Vidlak Poacher resides. Like before, you can choose to wait for him to return, or look nearby for him.
The Vidlak Poacher doesn't surrender as easily, and you will need to use either Speech or Dread to convince the Poacher to willingly come with you. If you fail either of these checks, the Vidlak Poacher will attack you when you try to rest him.
Once you deal enough damage to him he will surrender, at which point you can choose the option to arrest him and take him to the bailiff in Troskowitz. Just like with the previous Poacher, he will be sentenced to death for his crimes.
With the Vidlak Pond Poacher apprehended, report to Vostatek to continue the Bird of Prey quest. Vostatek has no more work for you but suggested speaking to the Gamekeeper in Nebakov, which you can find near the Nebakov Mill.
Where to find the Slatego Forests Poacher
Gamekeeper Varel at Nebakov Mill will task you with hunting down a Poacher in Stlatego Forests near Troskowitz. According to Varel, you can speak to the grave keeper near the area for more information, but he doesn't actually have any useful intel as to the Poacher's whereabouts.
Instead, head into Slatego Forest to the east of Troskowitz and you will find an abandoned cottage with another Poacher Camp southwest of it. If you have already completed the Mutt sidequest to get him back, you can have Mutt sniff out the scent of a Poacher's Knife found in the bag in this Poacher's Camp.
Even without Mutt, you can still find the location by following the trails of blood leading out of the camp. Ultimately, you want to end up at the location on the map above, to the west of the Poacher's Camp. Turns out the Poacher was attacked by wolves, which makes your job easy. Make sure you loot the Poacher's Hunting Knife off the corpse, as you will need it as proof of what you've found. Return to Gamekeeper Varel at Nebakov Mill to update him on the situation to complete this part of the Bird of Prey quest.
Where to find the Lower Semine Forests Poacher
Gamekeeper Varel will explain that this is the biggest Poacher yet, quite possibly more than one, that is responsible for clearing out entire forests. Head west to Lower Semine, specifically the Lower Semine Mill, and you can speak to Miller Kreyzl for more information on the Poachers.
Kreyzl informs you that the Poacher can be found somewhere in the middle of the woods south of the nearby lake. Head to that location, as indicated on the map above, and you will find a camp full of four Poachers. They cannot be reasoned with, so strategize your best way to handle a 4v1. If you're stealthy, you can take out one or two of them before alarming the others.
After defeating all four Poachers, make sure you loot them and their boxes around the camp for some free and valuable loot. Also make sure you interact with the Poacher's Evidence around the camp: the leather skins, and the gutted deer. These will complete this part of the quest, after which you can return to Gamekeeper Varel!
Where to find the Kopanina Forests Poacher
It's time for catch the final Poacher and complete the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2! Varel will inform you the final Poacher is the "Ghost Poacher", who can be found poaching in the Kopanina Forests north of Trosky Castle. Fast travel to Trosky Castle and head north to the road above Trosky Castle, where you will see a cliffside.
Near the cliffs you will find a sheltered area with a camp setup, as well as the "Ghost Poacher" who is none other than Hans Capon. Turns out Sir Hans has been Poaching since the prologue, as it's a great way to make some money. You can try to convince Hans to give up Poaching, but in typical Hans fashion, he doesn't care much for what you tell him. Tell Hans you need proof of finding him, and he will hand over some of his equipment to use as proof.
You now have two options: Tell Varel the truth, or lie and tell him you caught the Poacher by handing over Hans equipment.
If you tell Varel the truth, he will be angry at you, causing you to lose some reputation and resulting in the quest abruptly ending.
However, if you tell him you caught the Poacher by using Hans' equipment as proof, he will give you the following reward:
You'll also receive Hans' equipment, and it is up to you what to do with it. Congratulations, you have completed the massive Bird of Prey quest!

The Materia Prima side quest involves many optional tasks, all of which will help you steal a document from Troskowitz Rathaus. Since you'll be doing some thieving, you'll need to look the part with a specific outfit. Here's where to find Thieves Clothing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Where to find Thieves Clothing in KCD2 Materia Prima quest
When you arrive at the quest waypoint of the Thieves Clothing, you must speak to the bathhouse owner, Dorothy. She'll tell you that the outfit costs 199 Groschen to purchase, which is a pretty hefty price during the game's early stages. Fortunately, there's a way to get it for free if you sneak your way to the chest holding it. Get a lockpick if you don't have one already, and wait until nighttime to put it to use.
Enter the bathhouse during the night, where you may need to use a lockpick to open the door. I didn't have to use it for my playthrough, but others had to use it for theirs. Remember, this is a sneaking mission, so making as little noise as possible is essential.
Go upstairs to find a chest. There will be two chests there, but thankfully, the Thieves Clothing is in the easier one. Use the lockpick to open it.
You'll acquire the following items:
The clothing above should make you much less noisy and visible, making it easier to steal those documents. Once you're ready to rock and roll with the thieving, head to Troskowitz to help the Miller steal the document.
How to steal the document in KCD2 Materia Prima quest
If you want a quick and easy way to acquire the document, you can steal keys from a guard near the quest marker (it's best to do this at night). You can also save and quit beforehand, just in case he catches you.
Once you have obtained the keys, go to the door near the guard. Walk straight forward to interact with the chest inside. Since you acquired the keys, there's no need to worry about any lockpicking.
Take the Offer of Hermes Trismegistus and any other rewards in the chest. Return to the Miller in Lower Semine Mill, getting you one step closer to the wedding invitation. You'll encounter many more optional objectives during this celebration, including how to keep Vostatek from getting drunk. Ensure to come prepared for this main quest, particularly with other side quests, to experience unique encounters at the wedding.

After interrogating the prisoner in Necessary Evil, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 players are given the choice to either withhold part of the truth or tell Otto von Bergow about the involvement of Olda Semine in the whole affair.
But as the choice can have huge repercussions, you should not take it lightly. Here's what will happen in all scenarios, as well as whether or not you should tell Otto von Bergow about Young Semine in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
What happens if you tell von Bergow
If you decide to tell von Bergow about Olda Semine's alliance with the bandits, the lord will assemble a party and send Henry, Hans, and Burgrave Hashek to Semine. Shortly after reaching their destination, Henry will then be given the choice to side with either Hashek or the Semines, as a fight becomes inevitable. You can check out what will happen in both cases below:
You won't need to pass any stat checks to lie to von Bergow about what happened at the fortress. But don't go trying to appeal to the lord's humanity after siding with the Semines, as revealing the truth about Hashek's death will see him sentence Henry to the gallows. This will unlock a hidden "ending" where Henry is sentenced to death. His execution cutscene will then be followed by a standard game-over screen.
What happens if don't tell von Bergow
Contrary to the above, not telling von Bergow about Young Semine will skip the second portion of the Necessary Evil quest in its entirety and see the lord immediately start preparations for an attack on Nebakov Fortress. You will then immediately start the For Victory main quest.
Should you tell von Bergow about Young Semine in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
I believe withholding the truth and not telling von Bergow about Young Semine is the best choice here, as although Olda should be held accountable, the civilians in the fortress are innocent. Doing that will also allow you to progress while keeping Hashek, his men, and all within Semine alive.
If you don't want to skip the event but still want the best possible outcome, siding with the Semines will save the most lives, as all the innocent within the fortress will be spared. I'm not gonna lie though, even if saving the people is the only right choice here, letting Olda go after learning of his crimes and lack of remorse will still leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

One of the most important events you'll find in Monopoly GO is Golden Blitz. Since you can't trade gold stickers outside of this event, it's a rare opportunity to get specific cards during brief 24-hour periods before being restricted to card pack opening again.
It's also rare for Golden Blitz events to repeat past cards, meaning you might miss out on one you need if you're not online during a specific time. Let's check out every past Golden Blitz sticker during the Monopoly Games season to determine whether you'll still get an opportunity to trade a particular card.
Updated February 10, 2025: Added information about the latest Artful Tales season's Golden Blitz events.
All past Golden Blitz stickers in Monopoly GO
Since Monopoly GO's Artful Tales Season began on January 16, 2025, we have had one opportunity to explore Golden Blitz, with the next appearing between February 11 and 15. Golden Blitz allows you to trade up to two different gold stickers with others. The rarities typically range from mid-tier four-star stickers to rare, high-value five-star ones that can give you thousands of dice if you complete their respective albums.
Scopely has confirmed we'll get another Golden Blitz event sometime after February 10. With their last announcement for Artful Tales' first event, we'll most likely get it on February 12 or 13. However, there's no word of how many we'll encounter throughout the season. With that in mind, here's the complete list of Golden Blitz events from this season, including the stickers involved, their rarities, and the start and end dates.
Since we've only experienced two Golden Blitz events with Artful Tales so far, it's hard to tell what its pattern will be. However, they are weekly so far, giving us plenty of chances to trade some gold cards.
The previous season, Jingle Joy, had no real pattern with its Golden Blitz event timing aside from having at least one every week. That said, let's also look at Golden Blitz events from the previous season to get an idea of what future ones, including Artful Tales, might look like:
Scopely surprised us during Jingle Joy by releasing a shorter season with weekly Golden Blitz events. Before, we were lucky to see more than two in one month unless it was in the season's second half. Artful Tales seems to be taking a similar approach, but only time will tell how it unfolds.
There's no word on when the next Golden Blitz will start. Although they typically begin a few weeks after a new season, knowing a season's event patterns can be tricky. Nonetheless, we anticipate the next Golden Blitz in late February at the earliest, if not early March.

While Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 bombards you with a wealth of information during its tutorial, a few features still fly under the radar. A perfect example is the enemy's health bar — a seemingly basic mechanic you'd expect to be front and center, yet it's actually cleverly concealed.
I didn't even know that such a thing existed until Reddit user AdministrativeGain77 pointed it out. You'll see it just beside Henry's health, displayed as a purple bar during combat (the same place you see your horse's stamina). In all my 25+ hours, I thought it was my armor health or something to do with stamina. But now that I've seen it in action in my own playthrough, I can't believe it took me so long to put two to two together.
Not seeing the enemy's health bar initially made combat much more challenging than it already is. Sometimes, these enemies just feel downright invincible, so at least now we can see the light at the end of the tunnel with this purple bar. Curiously enough, this isn't the first time the series used this feature, as it was a part of the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance story. The first entry used a similar approach of changing a horse's stamina into the health bar during a fight. However, this mechanic was a little more apparent than its sequel, as it did have an explainer in the tutorial.
This explainer was left out of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's tutorial, possibly because veteran players may have already known about it. Yet, some Redditors in AdministrativeGain77's post have even stated that they forgot about it.
Although the developers could've made the enemy health bar more obvious, I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. If there's one thing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 teaches you, it's that this world isn't going to hand you everything on a silver platter — it's designed for discovery. Sure, it can be frustrating at first as you stumble through the unknown, but there's a certain thrill in finally cracking the code. And knowing this game is packed with hidden gems like this makes me excited to see what else is waiting to be uncovered.

During Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Miri Fajta quest, you'll help Marika, the daughter of the Nomad Camp's Voivode, heal her lover so they can return to the camp. She'll eventually ask you for the Voivode's amulet, but he's not inclined to give it to you.
At least, not right away. Before giving you the amulet, the Voivode will ask you to save his son, Tibor. Turns out, folks in a nearby town, Semine, have taken Tibor captive. Here's where to find Tibor and how to rescue him from his captives in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
How to find Tibor in KCD2
Tibor is currently being held captive at the Saddler's farm in Semine. You'll find the Saddler in the southwestern part of town. You'll initially learn this information by talking to any townsfolk here, including any housemaids, hired hands, or named NPCs you encounter. Asking them about the captured nomad in town will lead to them revealing his location and giving you a new map marker.
If you try to approach anyone near the barn Tibor is staying at, such as a Hired Hand or other workers, they'll express annoyance and tell you you're in a private area. However, you can still talk to them if you're quick with your interact buttons.
All Tibor rescue methods in KCD2
Now that you know Tibor's location, you have two choices: Persuade the Saddler's workers to reveal his location and how to free him or sneak into the barn without anyone catching you. Both can backfire if you're not careful or fail your persuasion attempts, but there are benefits to either choice.
Persuade the Hired Hand
Your first option is to talk to Guildsman Janek or the Hired Hand near the barn. I usually find a Hired Hand here, but Janek himself occasionally appears instead. Regardless of who you find, you can interact with them and ask about Tibor's situation. If you ask to let him go, you'll encounter the following Speech checks:
These give you three different ways to go about this situation. If you pass the first two checks, they'll tell you the key to Tibor's captive room is on a crate inside the barn and that they'll look away while you free him. Doing this gives you (mostly) free rein to free him and run off to advance the quest. As a bonus, you'll get experience points for raising your Speech skill.
However, failing has some consequences. Failing these options and annoying the Hired Hand or Janek causes them and nearby workers to attack you. If you're confident in your combat skills, you can use this to raise your stats slightly. Otherwise, it's generally not worth the risk and effort compared to succeeding in the check or sneaking into the barn and finding him yourself.
Alternatively, you can pay for his release. Although the exact amount they'll accept depends on your Speech and haggling skills, they'll usually expect around 100 to 150 Groschen for his release. This option isn't ideal, but it's available if you have a ton of money and don't mind spending some of it. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to make Groschen fast in KCD2.
Sneak into the barn
If you want to avoid interacting with the Saddler's workers, you can sneak into the barn through an open window and free Tibor. To do this, head around the Saddler's farm until you're on its southernmost side, facing north. You'll see Tibor inside the barn through a window, which you can jump through to rescue him.
However, this is considered trespassing, so any NPCs or guards passing by can catch you and land you into serious trouble. Fortunately, this isn't a busy area, so as long as you don't try to leave out the door or linger there too long, you'll usually be fine. If you free Tibor with this method, he'll jump out the same window, allowing you to follow him into the woods and continue the Miri Fajta quest.

There is no one certain way to win in Civilization 7, but knowing all the conditions will help you win quickly.
Of course, certain victory conditions are more straightforward to achieve, but they might not be the best route for you to take. You can exploit the Legacy Path options, which have four subtypes available inside the game. If you don't like to take a direct approach, going for a Domination or Points Victory might be far more suitable.
All Victory types in Civilization 7
There are four Legacy Path Victories, which are divided into Culture, Economics, Military, and Science. First, let's examine how to achieve these four victory conditions.
of course, it's not necessary for you to stick to a Legacy Path Victory formula in Civilization 7. There's the Domination Victory route, along with Points Victory method.
Before you can win, you'll have to find someone to play the game with. While defeating the AI can be tough test for sure, you can also play against other human opponents withe help of multiplay.

The Croix Bethune Future Stars SBC is now available in EA FC 25, and you can complete it to obtain a special card.
To obtain the item, you'll have to complete all the SBC tasks before they expire from the Ultimate Team. To do so, you'll have to submit different squads according to certain requirements. Let's take a look at how to complete the SBC and if it's worth completing at all.
EA FC 25 Croix Bethune Future Stars SBC tasks
The Croix Bethune Future Stars SBC has two tasks, and here are the requirements.
Task 1 - United States
Task 2 - Top Form
EA FC 25 Croix Bethune Future Stars SBC solutions
Here's a set of solutions you can use to complete the latest Future Stars challenge in Ultimate Team.
Task 1 - United States
Task 2 - Top Form
The SBC offers two special items: one with the Incisive Pass+ (CAM) and the other with Power Shot+ (ST). While both cards are average at best, I like the CAM item a lot more. Its stat distribution is superior to that of the ST item, and it has more playstyles. This certainly makes the CAM item a good bargain choice for beginners.
If you want to spend more fodder and obtain top-tier meta items, both the Fernando Torres and Andrea Pirlo Future Stars Icons are great choices. These SBCs cost significantly more in terms of fodder costs, but the cards you get are far more useable in the meta. They're well-suited for players who have a fair few amount of fodder in their clubs.

If you choose to attend the Semine wedding with Radovan during Wedding Crashers in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Henry will be tasked with saving the ceremony by finding out the whereabouts of the recently forged wedding gift. To help you avoid a catastrophe, here's how to find the sword for Lord Semine's son in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
How to find the young man dressed in yellow
As part of the first sub-objective, you must follow a clue by Radovan —who was too busy showing off to take proper care of the wedding gift— and find a male guest dressed in yellow. To advance through the quest, talk to the man in the spot highlighted in the image below, found by the main dining table.
After talking to him, head to the second floor of the cellar (the area where Gnarly will be hosting a fighting tournament) to find Hans, who will reveal that the Bailiff's son Svatopluk is the true culprit behind the crime. You can find him by a cart facing the musicians in the courtyard.
After talking to him, I was able to get Svatya to reveal the whereabouts of the sword by selecting '"Not even the bailiff's son will escape punishment." The option will demand a stat check, but don't worry, as your Charisma will be high enough to pull it off.
How to find the Sword for Lord Semine's son in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
As Svatya will reveal that he threw the present on the pond east of Semine, you can find the Sword for Young Lord Semine in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 by going through the door highlighted below —if you choose to help Myshka, she will most likely have shown you its location. From there, take a few steps inside the pond to find the submerged sword.
Now that you have the sword return it to Radovan to progress through the quest and see the wedding. Funnily enough, and just like with Ambrose's Broken Sword, you can actually skip the whole chain of events above by simply picking up the sword from the pond after Radovan tasks you with finding it. I don't recommend doing that, though, as those small interactions, in particular the one between Hans and Henry, are a big part of what makes Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 great.
