In the *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* quest known as Bird of Prey, you're tasked with tracking down five groups of poachers across the wilderness. This challenge is particularly demanding because the game doesn't pinpoint their exact locations. Here’s how to find each poacher group, ensuring a smooth and engaging gameplay experience.
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, proceed 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 concealed. Remember, engaging these poachers violently can negatively impact your reputation. Opting for a peaceful resolution is advisable. This poacher is timid and can be persuaded to surrender. You can choose to release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you spare him, don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Locating the second poacher during the Bird of Prey quest can be quite challenging. You can gather clues by conversing with NPCs marked by the quest to help narrow down the search area. Alternatively, you can head directly to the specified location. This poacher is more audacious and requires high persuasion skills to negotiate; otherwise, you may have to resort to combat, as I did. After defeating him, be sure to take his equipment as proof.
Poacher #3

The third poacher is situated in Slatego Forest. For additional insights, chat with Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia. Prepare for potential encounters with wolves before venturing into this area. You'll need to visit two spots: the first is an abandoned camp where the poacher once hid, and although it's empty, you can scavenge for useful items. Then, proceed west to the second location, where you'll find wolves feasting on a corpse. After dispatching the wolves, you'll identify the deceased as the missing poacher. Don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

This poacher group is particularly dangerous, requiring you to delve deep into the woods where you'll encounter three poachers. You don't necessarily need to engage them in combat; your mission is to gather evidence. Examine the following items:
- Deer’s corpse
- Deer’s skin
- Hanging deer’s carcass
After inspecting these items, return to the gamekeeper with your findings. He will then arrange for officials to apprehend the poachers.

The final poacher to track down is surprisingly Hans. Finding him can be tricky due to the expansive search area. You'll discover him near the rocks on the western side of the designated zone. Since Henry can't arrest his old friend, you'll need to take Hans' poaching kit as evidence instead.
That wraps up everything you need to know to locate all the poachers and successfully complete the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It's crucial to avoid lethal actions unless you're prepared to face the consequences on your reputation.
