Embarking on the Bird of Prey quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* involves tracking down five groups of poachers scattered throughout the wilderness. This challenging task lacks precise location markers, requiring players to rely on their exploration skills and in-game clues.
Where to Find Poachers in Bird of Prey in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Poacher #1
The first poacher is relatively easy to locate. After initiating the Bird of Prey quest by speaking with the gamekeeper, head north of the pond and venture into the forest. Navigate through the tall shrubs until you discover a camp where the first poacher is hiding. Opting for a non-violent approach is advisable to preserve your reputation. This poacher is easily intimidated, making it simple to persuade him to surrender. You can choose to release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you spare him, ensure you collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.
Poacher #2
Locating the second poacher can be the most challenging part of the quest. You may gather clues by conversing with quest-marked individuals to narrow down the search area. Alternatively, you can head straight to the designated location. This poacher is bolder and less likely to comply unless you have high persuasion skills. In my experience, I had to resort to force and take his equipment as proof.
Poacher #3
The third poacher can be found in Slatego Forest. For additional information, consult Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia. Prepare for potential wolf encounters before heading out. You will need to visit two locations: the first is an abandoned camp where the poacher once hid, which you can search for items. Then, travel west to the second spot, where you'll encounter wolves feasting on a corpse. After dealing with the wolves, you'll confirm that this was the poacher. Don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Poacher #4
Finding the fourth poacher involves a dangerous trek deep into the woods, where you'll encounter three poachers. It's not necessary to engage them in combat; your objective is to gather evidence. Examine the following three items:
- Deer's corpse
- Deer's skin
- Hanging deer's carcass
Once you've inspected these items, return to the gamekeeper to report your findings. He will then coordinate with officials to apprehend the poachers.
Poacher #5
The final poacher you need to track down is Hans, which can be tricky due to the expansive search area. Locate him near the rocks on the western side of the designated zone. As Henry can't arrest his old friend, you'll need to take Hans's poaching kit as evidence instead.
By following these steps, you'll be able to find all the poachers and successfully complete the Bird of Prey quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Remember, it's best to avoid lethal force to maintain your reputation.
