Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the "Canker" side quest becomes available after completing "The Jaunt." This quest offers a chance to acquire a mace and some Groschen. Here's how to complete it:
Picking Up the "Canker" Side Quest
To begin, speak with Gules in Semine. Conveniently, you can initiate this quest during Lord Semine and Agnes's wedding, while Gules is enjoying a drink. Alternatively, find him on patrol in Semine. Simply inquire about his former bandit gang and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker is your first target.
Finding and Killing Canker
Upon accepting the quest, Canker's location will appear on your map, north of Nebakov Mill. Be aware of potential bandit ambushes along the path. You can choose stealth, combat, or a hasty retreat. While individual bandits aren't overly challenging, repeated skirmishes can deplete your health before the main encounter.
Canker's bandit camp is nestled within the mountains, easily missed due to a narrow passage. Prepare for combat before entering, as several bandits, including Canker, will be present. Some bandits may flee depending on the order you eliminate them, but aim to defeat most, if not all. Canker himself will not run.
Completing the Quest and Returning to Gules
After defeating Canker and the other bandits, loot Canker's body. You must acquire the Light Mace, though other loot is yours for the taking. Return to Gules to complete the quest.
Following the completion of "Canker," wait a full in-game day before starting the next quest in this series, "Handsome Charlie." Speak with Gules again to proceed.
