Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Review – History in the making

Henry is looking for us again!

While exploring bohemia, your references to other games come across. Only recently did we report that it is a reference to the legendary Elden Ring player, leaves me solo. It seems that more references are being seen in the world of the game, with the newest about the iconic line supplied by the guards in Skyrim.

Then I took an arrow to the head

Skyrim’s “Arrow to the Knee” dialogue is probably one of the most famous lines pronounced in a video game. It is therefore not surprising that a game like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which gets so much inspiration from the Elder Scrolls series, would have a reference to it.

As spotted by Gamesradar+, on Henry’s journey over the country, you will eventually come across an NPC with something that stands out of his head. In the end you learn that what looks like a horn in the beginning is actually a part of an arrow that went on the poor farmer on the head. When continuing the conversation, Henry will reveal that he “heard from a guy who brought an arrow to the knee.”

It is a free reference to Skyrim, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 decided to lift the bet. “Hah! To the knee? That’s nothing,” the NPC replies. “You could dance with such a scratch the next day. But have you ever heard of someone who took one to the head and lived to tell the story?”

It seems that the game may be full of references to other iconic titles, so keep your eyes open while you make your way over the country. Given that getting a platinatrophy for the game can take more than 200 hours, there is a lot to explore.

Although it is not exactly a reference, Kingdom comes: Deliverance 2 followed in the footsteps of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the movement conquered a whole horse.
