For players venturing into the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a spade is an indispensable tool. Whether you’re digging up treasures, executing clandestine activities, or exploring quest lines, having a spade in your inventory becomes quite beneficial. If you’re seeking advice on obtaining this essential item, this comprehensive guide will navigate you through the various means of acquiring a spade, whether through honest purchases or more nefarious methods.
Though the spade can be utilized in the Fortuna quest, it is not a permanent addition to your inventory. Upon arriving in Troskowitz, players will need to find a new spade for their adventures. Thankfully, discovering a spade in the early game is relatively easy, whether you choose to procure one via theft or by purchasing it outright.

Where to Steal a Spade Near Troskowitz

In search of a spade around the Troskytow area? Your quest doesn’t require extensive travel. The Troskowitz Cemetery, located just to the east of Troskowitz, is an accessible site where you can find this tool. Simply head east until you reach the graveyard, as illustrated on the accompanying map.

Behind the cemetery’s building, you’ll spot a spade propped against the wall. To claim it as your own, however, you’ll need to resort to theft. Be cautious; NPCs in the game do not appreciate such acts, and being caught could lead to consequences. Fortunately, Ignatius, the grave keeper, can often be distracted, giving you an opportunity to swipe the spade during the day without drawing attention to yourself. While Ignatius may not offer employment, his insights into Troskowitz could be helpful.
While graveyards are typically a go-to location for finding spades, other areas to investigate include outhouses near taverns. Keep an eye out as you explore the vast world.
Where to Buy a Spade

If you prefer to stay on the moral path and shy away from theft, purchasing a spade is an option. Merchants like Merchant Jurg Thömel, located to the west of Troskowitz, offer spades for a modest price of 6.8 Grochen. This makes it a feasible option for players with limited funds. Additionally, while browsing other shops, remember to check for spade availability if you haven’t secured one yet, but be aware that selling stolen items requires a different vendor.
How To Use a Spade in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Acquiring a spade is just the beginning. To effectively utilize it in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ll need to locate specific dig spots around the game world. Ensure that the spade is in your inventory before proceeding. Approach either a grave or the designated digging area, and look for prompts like ‘Rob the Grave’ or ‘Start Digging’ on the screen, which will initiate a cutscene of Henry digging.
Once the digging is complete, you can loot the grave by holding the E button (on PC), leading you to an inventory menu to select your prizes. Remember, digging can be dirty work; be sure to clean up afterward to maintain Henry’s appearance, as a disheveled character may receive negative reactions from other NPCs. Additionally, note that while a spade is necessary for digging into graves, a shovel is required for moving sand or dirt.
