While we’ll go over some ways to get yourself an equine chum for free, stronger and faster horses are available to buy around the kingdom. If you find yourself in need of a few more Groschen, check out our guide to making money in Kingdom Come Deliverance.

How to get a horse in Kingdom Come Deliverance –

In Talmberg:

As part of the main story quest, you have to leave Talmberg castle by any means you can.

One way to do this is by stealing a uniform from the watchtower on the castle’s battlements, which means the guards won’t recognise Henry and let him out of the gates.

We have a full guide on how to get out of Talmberg and get the Talmberg armour if you’re stuck.

If you successfully steal the uniform, you can walk to the stable next to the main gate before you leave and mount a horse. Then you can ride out of the gate and off to Skalitz with everyone none the wiser.

Look specifically for the horse that says “mount” rather than “mount and steal”, otherwise you’ll be arrested.

In Rattay:

As you follow the main story quest you’ll eventually come to Rattay, where you’ll serve with the town guard and go hunting with nobleman Hans Capon. The hunting quest is called “The Prey”, and once you’re finished with it, your actions will be rewarded by Sir Hanush and Sir Radzig with horse of your own.

This way you’re acquiring the horse through legitimate means, which works best if you’re trying to roleplay a noble character.

Best horses in Kingdom Come Deliverance

Kingdom Come Deliverance Fast Travel Encounters

The fastest, strongest and most enduring beasts of burden in all of Bohemia are available to buy from horse traders around Bohemia. Horses are arranged into tiers, with Tier 5 being the best. Some Tier 4 horses have special traits which are worth mentioning though.

The best horses in Kingdom Come Deliverance

  • Warhorse Jenda – 2550 Groschen from Merhojed – 40 speed, 268 carry capacity, 17 courage, 450 stamina
  • Jenda is the most balanced horse in the game, boasting high stats across the board, but is also the most expensive. The name of the horse is a tribute to the Warhorse Studios dog, also called Jenda, who sadly passed away in 2016.

  • Al-Buraq – 1990 Groschen from Neuhof – 39 speed, 252 carry capacity, 15 courage, 410 stamina
  • Another well-balanced horse, the name Al-Buraq comes from a heavenly creature in traditional Islamic stories that carried prophets.

  • Kanthaka – 1890 Groschen from Uzhitz – 40 speed, 196 carry capacity, 20 courage, 410 stamina
  • With the highest courage in Kingdom Come Deliverance, Kanthaka is a great horse to ride into battle. Kanthaka comes from Buddhist tradition, and was said to have been ridden by Buddha himself.

  • Sleipnir – 1800 Groschen from Uzhitz – 39 speed, 260 carry capacity, 18 courage, 250 stamina
  • Sleipnir has a great balance of speed, capacity and courage. This horse is doubly awesome, because its name comes from an eight-legged horse ridden by Odin in Norse mythology.

  • Chollima – 1700 Groschen from Neuhof – 38 speed, 188 carry capacity, 15 courage, 510 stamina
  • A massive stamina stat makes Chollima stand out from other horses, and its name comes from a mythical winged horse depicted in Chinese and Korean classical stories.

  • Bucephalus – 1700 Groschen from Neuhof – 36 speed, 276 carry capacity, 19 courage, 270 stamina
  • If you got particularly sticky fingers, Bucephalus might be the horse for you, since it has the high carry capacity in the game. Its name comes from the horse ridden by King Alexander the Great.

  • Pegasus – 1560 Groschen from Uzhitz – 42 speed, 180 carry capacity, 15 courage, 310 stamina
  • A lot of people are familiar with the Greek mythological horse Pegasus. In Kingdom Come Deliverance, he’s the fastest horse in the game, with a massive speed stat of 42.

  • Epona – 1170 Groschen from Neuhof – 37 speed, 212 carry capacity, 5 courage, 430 stamina
  • More of an Easter egg than a really great horse, we had to mention Epona from the Legend of Zelda series. She’s skittish, but has good stats elsewhere, and is a much cheaper option than the other horses.

Kingdom Come Deliverance isn’t a straightforward game by any means, and one of the trickiest mechanics is lockpicking. If you need help, take a look at our lockpicking tips.

Deliverance

The Nexus Mods website has been a hub for PC game mods for years, and recently modders have uploaded their own projects for the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance there. Whether they tweak in-game difficulty, create silly visual effects, or add brand new types of non-player characters into the game world, most of these mods are great. Here are 10 of them that you should check out.

Note: All images used are those attached to the mod files.

Roads are Dangerous is a mod that increases the chances of enemy encounters during fast travel. Due to the fact that the rate at which you can run into bandits and other violent folks on the road is low by default, this is a great mod for people who want their fast travel experience to be more lively or who want more opportunities to dish out justice to bandits. Another cool thing Roads are Dangerous does is add three different types of enemies you can fight on the road, adding combat variety.

Bow Dot Reticle by FoX_D3ff3nd3R

A big problem many people have with Kingdom Come is the archery system which removes your cursor and makes aiming rely on your naked eye on. Bow Dot Reticle is a simple bit of code that forces the game to keep your reticle present when using your bow, which is a great way to help if you struggle with archery.

Sectorial Lockpicking by Tyddy

Kingdom Come's lockpicking can be confusing and overwhelming, so Sectorial Lockpicking makes the process simpler by visually showing where players need to hold their lockpick as they rotate locks. Training for agile project management.

Richer Merchants by EddieShoe

Often times, merchants don't always have enough coin to purchase all the items you've collected while hunting or when you're trying to clear your inventory of clutter. Richer Merchants ensures that every shop owner in the game will have a few thousand currency at the start of each day so that you'll never have to worry about not being able to sell your wares.

More Responsive Targeting by Tahknall

During combat with multiple foes in Kingdom Come, it's crucial that you always keep an eye on all your opponents and switch your targeting between them to keep them all at bay. More Responsive Targeting makes the process smoother and prevents control of the camera being taken away from the player.

Faster Arrows by PcFreaky99

For a realistic game like Kingdom Come, arrows seem to travel a lot slower than they do when shot in real life. Faster Arrows makes it so arrows fired by the player are much faster, which means the aiming and firing process will feel much more natural.

Unlimited Saving by EddieShoe

Kingdom Come seldom lets you save in order to prevent 'save scumming,' a practice in which players can avoid consequences of their actions by quickly saving before doing a rash action and then reloading that save afterwards. However, if you want to be able to save scum, or simply save whenever you want, Unlimited Saving will let you.

KCD Lightsaber Models by UblichenVerdachtigen

Ever wonder what Kingdom Come would look like with lightsabers instead of swords? KCD Lightsaber Models replaces every sword in the game with a colorful lightsaber. Go out and show those medieval knights the power of science fiction!

I Mourn For Balance by MourningCoffee

Kingdom

For players who want an even bigger challenge than Kingdom Come presents, I Mourn For Balance is a fantastic mod that alters bonuses and weaknesses on all of the gear in the game to make combat more challenging, but still fair to the player.

Henry's Face Compendium by MissNilin

Though Kingdom Come's protagonist Henry is undeniably a handsome lad, it's fun to switch up his look. Henry's Face Compendium is a collection of different faces and skins for Henry that you can use to replace his default appearance.
