In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, many quests can lead to larger side quests, and the one Henry embarks on after speaking with Gules is certainly a great example. After working with Lord Semine in "The Jaunt" side quest, a bandit known as Jules will be taken in custody by the ruler. Visiting Semine sometime later, Henry finds that the bandit, known as Gules, is now working for Lord Semine.
When you speak to him, Gules says he is willing to reveal the location of every other bandit camp he knows about. This starts a new chain of side quests where Henry must hunt and kill the bandits across the Trosky region.
Where to Find Canker in Kingdom Come 2
As Gules tells you, Canker has a camp somewhere in the middle of the forest east of Semine. Keep heading east from Semine and you'll enter a forest. Here, you can find Canker's camp in the middle of the forest near a small water body. Wait until past midnight to make the quest easy.
Once it's past midnight, switch into a stealth outfit and drink a Nighthawk potion, if you have one on you, along with equipping a dagger. After this, simply take out all the camp members at night when they're sleeping with stealth kills. Following this, find a chest beside Canker's bed, which is just near the campfire. You'll find Canker's mace in the chest, which you'll have to bring back to Gules at Semine to complete the quest.
Completing the quest will reward you with 85 Groschen.
Where to Find Handsome Charlie in Kingdom Come 2
Handsome Charlie's camp can be found west of the Vidlak pond. Just keep heading west from the pond and go through the woods to find the charcoal burners' camp as marked on the map above. From here, we recommend switching to a stealthy outfit and waiting until the night.
Once it's past midnight, you can find Handsome Charlie on patrol with a torch. Sneak up behind him and take him out with a stealth kill. For this, you'll need to have a dagger equipped. After killing him, loot the corpse to find and get Charlie's cap. Bring the cap back to Gules at Semine to complete the quest.
Where to Find Johnny the Gob in Kingdom Come 2
Johnny the Gob can be found just north of the Vidlak pond. You don't even need to go on a hunt for him, as his camp is situated just beside the pond. However, there are a lot of bandits here so we suggest waiting until past midnight to kill them stealthily.
Once it's nighttime, change into darker clothes and equip a dagger. Slowly kill the bandits in their sleep, and make your way to Johnny. After killing him, loot his shield from his corpse. Bring the shield back to Gules in Semine to complete the quest.
Where to Find Casper in Kingdom Come 2
Casper is the final bandit that Gules tells you about and is the toughest. As Gules says, Casper has a camp in the Apollonia forest east of Trosky Castle. You'll need to travel east, beyond the roe hunting spot. Once you've reached the location, you'll see multiple camps set up near each other in the area. We've marked the exact location of his camp on the map here.
Unless you've leveled up your fighting skills, we suggest taking a cautious approach. Try to distract the bandits one at a time until everyone but Casper is left. With him, the best approach to eliminate him is to use the master strike. Once you've disposed of him, loot his corpse to get his gold ring, along with the keys to the chests nearby. Bring the ring to Gules at Semine and you'll be rewarded with 95 Groschen, ending the long side quest chain.
Bonus tip: In a smaller camp nearby beside the trees, you can use the keys to open a chest that contains a whopping 1,739.4 Groschen. If you haven't already checked out the easy trick to farm money in the game, the money in the chest will come in handy.
