Kingdom Come Deliverance How To Get A Dog

Okay, listen up, medieval RPG fanatics! You're roaming Bohemia, right? Covered in mud? Probably starving? Wishing you had a loyal companion? Well, friend, you've come to the right place. We're talking Kingdom Come: Deliverance and, more specifically, dogs.

Yes, you read that correctly. You can get a dog! Not just any dog, mind you. A dog named Mutt. He's not some pampered pooch. He's a working dog. A hunting dog. A good boy.

But how do you snag this furry friend? It's not like you can just stroll into the pet store. Bohemia doesn't exactly have a "Pets 'R' Us." Getting Mutt involves a specific quest, and messing it up means... no dog. Tragic, right? Let's dive in!

The "A Woman's Lot" DLC: Your Ticket to Canine Companionship

First things first: you need the "A Woman's Lot" DLC. This isn't optional. Without it, no Mutt for you. Consider it a dog-ownership license. A slightly bloodier, more medieval dog-ownership license.

Why this DLC? Because you acquire Mutt while playing as Theresa, Henry's friend (and occasional savior). Her story is compelling, offering a different perspective on life in 15th-century Bohemia. Plus, you get a dog! It's a win-win.

Finding and Befriending Mutt: It's All About Theresa's Questline

Alright, you've got the DLC. You're playing as Theresa. Now what? The quest you're looking for is tied into her main storyline. Specifically, pay attention to what's happening around Skalitz. Remember that burned-out hellhole where Henry's adventure began? Yeah, that place.

Theresa finds Mutt while scavenging, or defending herself. The exact timing can vary slightly, so be vigilant. Explore. Talk to NPCs. Don't be afraid to poke around (though, maybe avoid poking dead bodies too much. Unless you're into that sort of thing. We don't judge.)

Important Tip: Keep an eye out for a distressed dog. He might be injured or caught in a trap. Freeing him or helping him is, unsurprisingly, the key to recruiting him.

Once you find him, you'll need to make him like you. This isn't about throwing him a bone (although, that might help!). It's about showing kindness, caring for his wounds, and generally being a decent human being (or, in this case, a decent medieval Bohemian woman).

Mutt Joins Henry: The Cross-Character Canine Connection

Here's the cool part: Once you've bonded with Mutt as Theresa, he becomes available to Henry. Yes, your main man Henry can have a dog companion! This is where things get really interesting.

However, it's not automatic. You need to progress far enough in the main story for Henry to be able to travel and roam free. You’ll find him at the Mill.

Quirky Fact: You can actually lose Mutt. He's not glued to your side. If you're a terrible owner (neglecting his needs, getting him killed in combat), he might just wander off. So, be a responsible virtual dog owner!

What Can Mutt Do? More Than Just Look Cute (Though He Does That Too)

Okay, so you've got Mutt. He's trotting along beside you. What's the point? Is he just digital eye candy? Nope! Mutt is a valuable asset.

Hunting: Mutt can help you hunt. He'll track animals, flush them out, and even attack them. Hunting becomes way more efficient (and less lonely) with a furry friend.

Combat: Mutt can attack enemies. He's not going to single-handedly take down a fully armored knight, but he can distract them, harass them, and generally make your life easier in a fight. Think of him as a four-legged, furry distraction grenade.

Tracking and Detection: Mutt can sniff out enemies and treasure. He'll bark and growl when danger is near, giving you a heads-up. He can also find hidden items, making him a valuable asset for exploration.

Roleplaying: Let's be honest, having a dog just feels right in an RPG. It adds a layer of immersion and companionship. It makes Henry feel less like a blank slate and more like a person with a friend.

Tips for Being the Best Dog Owner in Bohemia

So, you want to be a good dog owner, right? You want Mutt to be happy and healthy? Here are a few tips:

Feed him: Mutt needs food. If you neglect to feed him, his effectiveness will decrease. Keep some scraps in your inventory.

Train him: Mutt can be trained to be more effective in combat and hunting. Invest in some training sessions to maximize his potential.

Protect him: Mutt is vulnerable in combat. Keep him out of harm's way as much as possible. If he gets injured, heal him. He is worth the bandages!

Don't be a jerk: Don't leave him behind. Don't let him starve. Don't get him killed unnecessarily. Be a good owner, and Mutt will be a loyal companion.

Funny Story: Some players have reported hilarious glitches with Mutt. Like, he gets stuck on rooftops, or he teleports through walls. It's all part of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance charm!

Is Getting Mutt Worth It? A Resounding YES!

Seriously, having Mutt in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a game-changer. He adds so much to the experience. He's not just a gimmick; he's a valuable asset and a loyal companion.

So, go get that DLC. Play as Theresa. Rescue Mutt. And then enjoy the adventures of Henry and his furry friend. You won't regret it.

Final Thought: Just try not to name him "Dogmeat." It's been done.
