Few players know this, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has just introduced a hidden mechanic: yellow ribbons scattered across the world. As part of the Legacy of the Forge DLC, Warhorse Studios has added contemplative moments for Henry, giving players the chance to reflect on his story and the lore of his world.

The second DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, The Forge’s Legacy, is now available. While it doesn’t drastically expand the game’s lore—offering only a look into Martin’s past, Henry’s stepfather, and a glimpse of Henry’s future—it introduces an intriguing detail: yellow ribbons placed around the map where the protagonist can sit down and reflect on his life. This mechanic encourages exploration across the open world in search of these ribbons.

These ribbons appear in a variety of scenic spots: forests, bridges, vineyards, always next to a bench, log, or stone where Henry can sit. Once seated, he can choose the “Think in Retrospect” option, triggering memories that reveal parts of his story, such as his fear of water after falling from a boat as a child, or more melancholic reflections about his surroundings, his past, and his relationships with other characters.

So far, seven of the eleven ribbons have been located: in the Kutná Hora cathedral, a burnt forest, beneath a bridge, by a pond, in a ruined mill, a small chapel, and a vineyard. Each offers unique insights, from Henry’s childhood and youth to anecdotes about friends and family, adding a more human dimension to his character. Players who linger at these sites can also enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the world.

Yes, These Ribbons Are Part of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 DLC

Warhorse, the studio behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, confirmed to Gamestar that the ribbons are indeed part of the DLC experience, though four of them are still left for players to discover. In fact, user JoshuaBeeking on X has already marked most of them on the map, so for those unwilling to scour every corner, there’s always the option to “cheat.”

With this subtle addition, Legacy of the Forge proves that it doesn’t just expand gameplay with Kutná Hora’s forge but also deepens Henry’s narrative and psyche. It gives players fresh motivation to explore thoroughly and uncover the mysteries of these yellow ribbons, making every walk through the world more personal and thoughtful.
