Embarking on the Bird of Prey quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* presents a thrilling challenge as you track down five elusive poacher groups across the expansive wilderness. Locating them isn't straightforward, as the game doesn't pinpoint their exact whereabouts, making your journey all the more intriguing.
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, make your way to the north side of the pond. Venture into the forest and navigate through the tall shrubs until you stumble upon a camp where the first poacher is hiding. Remember, while you can choose to eliminate these poachers, doing so will impact your reputation negatively. Opting for a peaceful resolution is advisable. This particular poacher is timid and can be persuaded to surrender. You can either release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you choose to spare him, don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.
Poacher #2
Tracking down the second poacher proves to be the most challenging part of the Bird of Prey quest. You might want to engage with various NPCs marked by the quest to refine your search area. Alternatively, you can head straight to the designated location. This poacher is more audacious and less likely to comply unless you possess high persuasion skills. In my experience, I had to resort to lethal measures and subsequently collected his equipment as proof.
Poacher #3
The third poacher can be found in Slatego Forest. For additional clues, consider speaking with Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia. Before venturing into this area, prepare for encounters with wolves. You'll need to visit two spots: the first is an abandoned camp where the poacher once hid. Although empty, you can scavenge for useful items. Then, proceed west to the second location, where you'll find wolves feasting on a corpse. After dealing with the wolves, you'll realize this was the missing poacher. Don't forget to secure a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Poacher #4
Locating the fourth poacher involves a perilous journey deep into the woods, where you'll encounter three poachers. Direct confrontation isn't necessary; your objective is to gather evidence. Examine three key items: a deer's corpse, a deer's skin, and a hanging deer's carcass. Once you've inspected these, return to the gamekeeper to report your findings. He will then delegate the task of apprehending the criminals to the authorities.
Poacher #5
The final poacher you need to track down is none other than Hans. Finding him can be tricky due to the vast search area. Look for him near the rocks on the western edge of the designated zone. As Henry, you won't be able to arrest your old friend, so make sure to take his poaching kit as evidence.
With these detailed instructions, you're now equipped to successfully complete the Bird of Prey quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Remember, maintaining a peaceful approach can preserve your reputation, so choose your actions wisely.
