In the "Bird of Prey" quest of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your mission is to track down five poacher groups scattered across the wilderness. While the game doesn't pinpoint their exact locations, here's a detailed guide to help you find each poacher without losing your way.
Where to Find Poachers in Bird of Prey in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Poacher #1

The first poacher is relatively easy to locate. Begin by speaking with the gamekeeper to initiate the quest. Then, make your way to the north side of the pond and venture into the forest, navigating through the tall shrubs. You'll soon stumble upon a camp where the first poacher is hiding. Remember, killing the poachers can impact your reputation negatively, so it's better to opt for a peaceful resolution. This poacher is quite timid, making it easy to persuade him to surrender. You can choose to release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you let him go, don't forget to take a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Locating the second poacher can be challenging. You can gather more specific information by conversing with various NPCs marked by the quest, which helps narrow down the search area. Alternatively, head directly to the designated spot to find this bolder poacher. High persuasion skills are necessary to convince him to surrender without a fight. In my experience, I had to resort to combat and then collect his equipment as proof.
Poacher #3

The third poacher is situated in Slatego Forest. Before embarking on this part of the quest, speaking with Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia can provide valuable clues. Be ready to defend yourself against wolves in this area. You'll need to visit two locations: the first, an abandoned camp where the poacher was hiding, and the second, a bit west, where you'll find wolves feasting on a corpse. After dealing with the wolves, you'll discover the poacher's fate. Don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as proof.

This poacher group is particularly dangerous, located deep in the woods. You'll encounter three poachers, but direct confrontation isn't necessary. Your objective is to gather evidence by examining three items: a deer's corpse, a deer's skin, and a hanging deer's carcass. Once you've inspected these items, return to the gamekeeper to report your findings, and he'll handle the rest.
Poacher #5

The final poacher you're after is Hans, and locating him can be tricky due to the vast search area. Find him near the rocks on the western side of the designated area. Henry won't be able to apprehend his old friend, so you'll need to collect Hans' poaching kit as evidence.
That concludes your guide to finding all the poachers and successfully completing the "Bird of Prey" quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Remember, maintaining your reputation is key, so avoid unnecessary violence where possible.
