"Canker," an early side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, requires completion of "The Jaunt" to unlock. This quest offers a mace and Groschen, making it worthwhile. Here's how to complete it:
Initiating the "Canker" Quest:
Speak to Gules in Semine. This is easily done during Lord Semine and Agnes' wedding, while he's drinking. Alternatively, find him on patrol in Semine. Inquire about his former bandit gang and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker is your first target.
Locating and Eliminating Canker:
Canker's location, north of Nebakov Mill, is marked on your map upon accepting the quest. Be wary of ambushes along the path. You can choose stealth, combat, or flight to deal with any bandits encountered.
Canker's camp is nestled in the mountains, easily missed due to a narrow passage. Prepare for combat before entering, as several bandits, including Canker, will be present. Some bandits might flee depending on kill order, but ensure you eliminate most, if not all, to complete the objective. Canker himself won't run.
Quest Completion:
After defeating Canker and the other bandits, loot Canker's body. The Light Mace is required for quest completion, but feel free to take other items as well. Return to Gules to finish the quest.
A full in-game day must pass before the next quest, "Handsome Charlie," involving Gules' remaining bandits, becomes available. Speak to Gules again after this delay to proceed.
