Winning Katherine's heart in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn't as straightforward as a simple flower offering. Success hinges on a crucial, easily missed moment during "The Italian Job" quest. Follow these steps to romance Katherine:

Step 1: Complete "The Italian Job"

This main quest involves accessing the mint, freeing hostages, and ideally, avoiding injury. After completing these objectives, resist the urge to immediately speak with Zizka.

Step 2: Locate Katherine

Instead of rushing to Zizka, explore the courtyard. Locate the minting room (marked by a fallen soldier near a wall). Ascend the spiral staircase to the second floor where you'll find Katherine.

Step 3: Make Your Move

Approaching Katherine presents a dialogue option marked with a heart icon. Choose the romantic option:

• [Romance]: "You look pretty."

For a bolder (and surprisingly effective) approach, select the option complimenting her physique. This unconventional tactic yields a reputation boost rather than a slap.

Conclusion

You've successfully initiated a romance with Katherine. Whether this blossoms into true love or a fleeting medieval crush remains to be seen. Regardless, you've proven yourself more than just a sword-sharpening, romance-ignoring peasant!
