The forge DLC: the game's rarest trophy depends on a randomly offered activity
Ragged's Dream sits at 4.19% and is the rarest trophy in the whole game, DLC included, because the activity that gives it is offered at random each day. Ten forge trophies and four below 4%.
And it counts towards Martin’s Legacy, Home Sweet Home!, Nevermore, Warlock’s Riddle, Racing the Leech, The Ragman’s Dream, Two Brothers, Voice of the Bell, Silent Partner, required for the platinum.
Ragged's Dream: the rarest in the entire game
Ragged's Dream — 4.19%. It is the rarest trophy in all of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, DLC included, and it is worth understanding why.
In itself it is not hard: some documents Ragged cares about have been stolen, and you have to recover them and return them. The method does not matter.
The problem is access. It is a guild activity, and guild activities are offered at random each day. If it does not appear, there is no way to force it: you wait for the next day and check again.
Two warnings that save grief:
- There are reports that the theft contracts fail and the item does not appear where it should. If that happens, cancel the activity: the reputation loss is minimal and it beats being stuck hunting for something that is not there. - Do not plan the rest of the DLC around this trophy. Do everything else and stop by the guild board every day until it comes up.
That 4.19% does not measure skill or even persistence: it measures how many people kept checking the board long enough.
Ragged's guild activity appears at random each day and cannot be forced. If the theft contract bugs out and the item does not appear, cancel the activity: the reputation loss is minimal.
The three that ask you not to do the obvious
Three trophies between 3.42% and 3.55%, all three missable, and all three failed for the same reason: the default route is the other one.
Brotherly Bonds — 3.42%. Settle matters with Koniash without fighting. The default route is the violent one and you have to avoid it deliberately. It is the rarest of the three, which says a fair amount about how it usually gets resolved.
Silent Companion — 3.51%. Deliver the underground evidence with nobody dying. And here is the nuance to read carefully: the condition is not delivering the evidence, it is that there is not a single casualty. You can complete the quest objective and lose the trophy in the same run without noticing.
The Voice of the Bell — 3.55%. Pay for Stará Kutná's new bell out of your own pocket. It is not hard: it costs a lot of money and almost nobody bothers. It is one of the few trophies in the game you literally buy.
And two more from the same DLC, also missable:
Sorcerer's Riddle — 9.94%. Solve the lost alchemist's riddle.
Race Against Leech — 6.31%. Win a race against the guard nicknamed Leech. It is a one-shot challenge: lose it and there is no rematch in that run.
The forge itself: the four that are systems
The four trophies that are actually about what the DLC promises:
Master of the Blacksmiths' Guild — 16.27%. Pass the guild test and become a master smith. It is this DLC's most common trophy, so it is the natural entry point: almost everyone who buys the content gets this far.
Home Sweet Home! — 10.79%. Finish rebuilding the forge, which is this DLC's central system. It is the trophy that sums the content up, and its 10.79% against the previous 16.27% measures precisely how many people went from passing the entrance test to completing the project.
Martin's Legacy — 11.18%. Complete the restoration of the Kutná Hora astronomical clock. Silver, and the DLC's other major project alongside the forge.
Nevermore — 6.53%. Get the raven. Silver, a nod to Poe, and a hidden trophy.
A useful way to order the whole DLC using these numbers: the guild test (16.27%) is the entrance, the forge (10.79%) and the clock (11.18%) are the two long projects, and everything below 7% is decisions or chance. If your time is limited, the projects pay better than the story threads.
