The world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is vast, and those traveling on foot will take a long time to explore it. We will show you how to quickly and, most importantly, for free, acquire a horse.
Why is a horse important? Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 throws you into 15th-century Bohemia. The game world is divided into two regions and is quite large. With a horse, you can get from A to B faster and also store parts of your equipment or found loot in the saddlebag.
At the beginning of the game, you lose your beloved horse Pebbles, which was already a loyal companion in the first part. There are two methods to quickly find it again. Either through the main quest or through a shortcut.
Update from March 4, 2025: The post has been structurally updated and brought up to date.

Finding the Horse During the Main Quest
How do you find the horse? After you have completed the prologue, Heinrich finds himself alone and with only a few belongings in the village of Troskowitz. There, the main quest continues.
The mission that leads you to Pebbles is called “Unloaded Wedding Guests.” In the tavern of Troskowitz, you meet a miller and a blacksmith. To find Pebbles, talk to the blacksmith Radovan. He will send you on a mission to find a cart along with goods that has set off towards Semin. Upon arriving in Semin, talk to Herr Semin, who wants to get to the bottom of the matter.
For this, you will need a horse. You will be sent to the stables of Semin and must speak with the NPC Ballatay. Ask for a “cheap horse” and try to convince him with “be sensible.”
Here are the stables in Semin, where you find the horse.
If successful, you will receive a free horse. It turns out to be Pebbles. You now have a horse and will travel faster from then on.
What is the alternative? You can also ignore the main quest and go directly to Semin to the stables. Talk to the stable boy as usual. If your persuasion skills are high enough, you can convince him that Pebbles was stolen from you. Alternatively, you can put pressure on him or reclaim the horse with some coins.
There is a third option: If Pebbles is not important to you, you can simply steal any horse. However, be careful not to be seen, otherwise, you will have problems with the guards.
Additionally, a stolen horse is not automatically yours permanently. Unlike Pebbles, a randomly stolen animal does not come back to you when you whistle. Unless you spend coins at the merchant Mikolai in the nomad camp to transfer ownership of the horse to yourself.
To avoid problems, we strongly recommend going for Pebbles. Whether you follow the main quest faithfully or head straight to Semin is up to you. The second method is certainly more practical since it’s faster. For more guides about the game, feel free to visit MeinMMO: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Guides: All tips and tricks at a glance

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is, like its predecessor, an expansive game with a large map. In this article, we gather all important information about the map and game world of the medieval RPG.Additionally, you will find an interactive map here.
What is important to know about the map? Just like the first part, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is an open-world game. However, the world is designed to be much clearer than in other role-playing games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim.
It basically consists of different regions where you can find cities and villages, forests and caves.
The big difference from part 1 is that there are now two areas, each with its own map. This significantly expands Kingdom Come 2 in comparison. Overall, the game is said to be twice as large as its predecessor.

Game World, Map, Locations and Important Symbols
How is the game world divided? Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is divided into two areas:
“Bohemian Paradise”: This is where you arrive first. This map is dominated by nature. However, there are still villages and settlements, as well as Trosky Castle.
“Kuttenberg”: The well-known medieval city becomes accessible later in the game. It is supposed to be larger than the cities in its predecessor and also has surrounding areas that can be explored.
Just like in the predecessor, you cannot see the entire map at the beginning. Only when you travel to the areas will the cloud cover over the map gradually be removed.
At important locations such as villages or cities, there are once again fast travel points. They will be unlocked automatically as you approach the corresponding location. Other important locations will also be marked on the map when you discover them.
What else does the map show? Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a role-playing game with numerous main and side quests, as well as contracts. You will also find them on the map. The game uses different symbols for different types of quests, which you can see in the following image:
By looking at the map, you will always know where to go next. The same applies to important places that you want to find again later. Such as an underground entrance, a camp, or a fence where you can sell stolen goods.
With our interactive maps, you can conveniently search for locations on the map. On the left, you will find a menu where you can filter by specific locations. In the bottom right corner, you can adjust the zoom level.
The first of the two maps, “Bohemian Paradise”, looks like this (via gamepressure.com):

The second area becomes accessible only after a certain amount of gameplay and progress in the main quest. Kuttenberg is a large city and significantly larger than Rattay from the predecessor.
For the start of Heinrich’s adventure, you should be well equipped. Exploring the authentically designed game world is one of the major appeals of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, a horse is incredibly useful. Your steed Pebbles from the predecessor may not seem like the best choice at first. However, if you bring patience, you will be rewarded with a secret skill.
Why are horses important? Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 offers a vast game world, which is divided into two areas. Those who are on foot here will need significantly more time. It is also much harder to escape from highwaymen and bandits.
It is highly recommended to secure a horse quickly. Fortunately, there is the mare Pebbles, already known to players from the predecessor. The loyal horse is back in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. However, Heinrich quickly loses it at the beginning of the story.
On MeinMMO we show you how to find Pebbles quickly and with little effort. Looking at the horse’s stats, disappointment sets in at first. The stamina is not particularly high, the same goes for the speed or the load that the animal can carry.
Some players quickly look for a better alternative. However, Pebbles has a hidden skill that significantly improves the stats.
Update from March 4, 2025: We have fixed a small typographical error.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: 3 Tipps für den perfekten Einstieg
Be nice to Pebbles and quickly get a great horse
How to unlock the skill? In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, a bond can be formed between Heinrich and his animal companions. This applies to the dog Köter as well as Pebbles. To improve the bond, ride long enough with the horse through medieval Bohemia and generously share praise for it.
If you increase the bond high enough, you will unlock a new skill called “Good old Pebbles” in the skills menu. Activate it and Pebbles will receive much better stats.
For comparison: Pebbles’ stamina is 139 by default. With the skill, it is 222. The load the horse can carry changes from 158 to 358. And the speed increases from 30 to 53.
These stats reshuffle the cards and suddenly make Pebbles a convincing companion on Heinrich’s adventures. Apart from the raw numbers, Pebbles is simply lovable, and Heinrich is emotionally tied to her.
Is this only true for Pebbles? There is another horse named Hering that you encounter during the main quest. This animal also has a skill that will be unlocked after a while and provides a similar improvement to that of Pebbles.
What does the community think? On TikTok, the user norzzatv demonstrated how to improve both horses. In the comments, several Pebbles fans congregate, as well as those who struggle with guilt:
“It made me feel guilty for abandoning Pebbles,” writes Atrejius Araviciunas.
“Pebbles since day 1,” says MxdiumRarx, declaring his loyalty to the horse.
“I will lose every race if I stick with Pebbles, but I don’t want to sell her…” claims smolpixieboy.
“Good addition, I had a problem in KCD 1 where I was too attached to Pebbles to buy a better horse,” notes Gab, praising the implementation of the skill in part 2.

To survive in medieval Bohemia in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you should have enough Groschen in your pockets. MeinMMO gives you tips on how to quickly fill your wallet.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the currency is Groschen. With it, you can not only buy weapons and armor but also pay for a place to sleep or for saving potions.
Moreover, with enough Groschen, you can bribe other characters, for example, for information or to forget a crime. So having a full bag of Groschen is never a bad idea.

Let the dice fall
Especially at the beginning, it can be wise to get familiar with the dice game and earn some Groschen for accommodation and food. Starting bet: 10 Groschen. Higher bets are also possible. By using “Save and Quit,” you can relatively easily undo lost games.
Steal everything you can
To acquire wealth, it should be no problem for you to commit the odd crime. If no one is watching, everything that seems even remotely valuable should go into your pocket. If you acquire something unlawfully, the item will be marked with a red symbol.
Where can I sell stolen goods? You can try to sell stolen goods to regular merchants. If it’s just a few items and you otherwise sell legitimate goods, the merchants are more likely to accept them.
The “Thief” (main level) ability is particularly helpful for this, as it increases the likelihood that merchants will buy your stolen goods.
However, if you made a decent haul while stealing, the fence Mordechai Haim at the Nomad Camp will help you in the first region of the game. The camp is located west of Zelejow in Trosky. Additionally, you can unlock a fence (named Innkeeper Helga Schelm) west of Kuttenberg by completing quests of a Kuttenberg thief group.
The fence Mordechai Haim in the Nomad Camp is your best friend. Or at least he should be.
Don’t forget to check your enemies’ pockets after you’ve killed them. You can always pocket a few Groschen, and sometimes there might be a treasure or two.
Items that fall under the category “Miscellaneous” can be sold with a clear conscience. They are similar to treasures and serve to make Groschen.
Tip: If your inventory is bursting at the seams due to constant plundering (making sprinting and fast travel impossible), use your horse’s storage space to maximize your loot. Stolen loot is also less conspicuous to guards if stored in saddle bags during an inspection.
If you want good prices for your items, the reputation you enjoy with a merchant plays a significant role. If it is in the upper range (100-61), you will get better prices from that merchant.
You can see your current reputation with a merchant in the last row under your stats in the sales screen.
In no sale should you skip bargaining. At the start, it will only earn you a few extra Groschen, but with increasing reputation, the merchant will be willing to deviate more from the price.
If you overstrain a merchant’s patience, they will not want to bargain with you anymore.
Selling to Specialists
If you have particularly valuable items, sell them to the respective specialist. A trader will give you less for weapons and armor than a blacksmith would.
A trader with a reputation of 100 will give you 125.7 Groschen for a broadsword, whereas a blacksmith with a reputation of 100 will give you 209.5 Groschen. That’s a price difference of 40%.
So sell weapons and armor to blacksmiths, take alchemy items to apothecaries, and tailors will give you better prices for undergarments.
An apothecary gives you more Groschen for alchemy items.
Rich Skills
Criminal Element (main level): You can sell stolen goods at 10 percent better prices.
Packhorse (Strength): Your carrying capacity increases by 12 pounds. This allows you to loot or steal more items.
Glistening Goods (Rhetoric): Weapons, armor, and clothing with a condition of 98 to 100 percent can be sold at 10 percent better prices.
Craftsman (Rhetoric): You can sell weapons, armor, and clothing at 10 percent better prices.
Master of Mystical Arts (Rhetoric): Alchemy items are sold at 10 percent better prices.
Thief (Rhetoric): Heinrich finds it easier to sell stolen goods to merchants.
Potion Seller (Alchemy): You can sell potions for 30 percent more.
If you are risk-taking and have a few special dice in your inventory, you can try your luck at the dice game. The more you bet, the more you can win; conversely, you can also lose more. You can find gamblers in every settlement.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you can have a dog as your four-legged companion. He is very useful in some quests and supports you in combat. MeinMMO shows you where you can find the dog.
How do I get the dog? There are two ways to reunite your loyal companion with Heinrich. Either you complete the quest line “The Dog” in its entirety, or you go to the place where the dog is located from the start. However, you will not be able to complete the quest chain because there is no reason to search for the animal. MeinMMO describes both ways.
Our video gives you 10 important tips if you have never played the first part:

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: 10 Tips if You’ve Never Played the First Part!
[toc]
Update from March 4, 2025: The article has been structurally adjusted and brought up-to-date.
First option: Get the dog quickly
How do I shorten the quest? Your dog is hanging around from the beginning where you will also find him at the end of the quest. Specifically, he is located in a wooded area, west of the nomad camp in Trosky.
Here you can quickly find the dog.
To find him, you need to visit this location at dusk. A path lined with many deer carcasses leads you directly to a wolf den. Here the dog is gnawing on a piece of meat.
After the cutscene in which Heinrich and the dog greet each other, they are attacked by a pack of wolves. You can run away or charge into battle alongside your companion for the first time.
First, you should look around the place where you last saw the dog. The place will be shown to you northwest of Bozenas’ hut. You will encounter a vagabond who will attack you when you get closer.
Defeat him in combat and then take your time to look around. Inspect especially the carcass of a deer in the meadow.
The vagabond is trying to find something useful at the corpse.
Heinrich decides to walk back to Bozenas’ hut to ask the old woman for clues. She gives you two options for further information:
You can ask the innkeeper for more clues at the Inn of the Carters, northwest of Zelejow.
Alternatively, you can visit a fisherman at Vidlak Pond and question him.
No matter which option you choose, you will receive the same information: A shepherd has been complaining for a long time about a wolf pack that is eating his sheep. Sometimes wild dogs run with some wolf packs. A gamekeeper might also know something about wolf packs with wild dogs.
The wolf pack at the shepherd
You will find the shepherd Siegfried in Kopanina, which is located north of Tachau. Siegfried asks Heinrich to kill the wolf pack. As a reward, he promises you 20 groschen.
In order for the wolf pack to appear at all, you need a bait. Siegfried offers you his goat Ignatius, but you can also use another piece of meat. If you accept Ignatius as bait, the animal will faithfully follow you up the hill.
Start video
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: The Most Important Tip for a Successful Playthrough
Once you reach the hill, you need to either throw your own bait or persuade Ignatius with a thrown carrot to lie down. Now you hide in the bushes next to you and wait briefly.
When the wolf pack comes, Ignatius will run down the hill. You can save his life or let him die. Take care of the wolf pack, because your dog is not with you.
Then go back to the shepherd. If Ignatius died, he will cope with it and later ask you whether you killed the wolf pack. If yes (or if you lie successfully), you will receive a reward of 20 groschen from him.
To receive the reward without killing the wolf pack, you can simply lie to Siegfried.
Since the dog was not with this wolf pack, Siegfried refers you to the gamekeeper.
The gamekeeper
You will find the gamekeeper’s house northwest of Zelejow. Here, however, you will only meet his wife and son, who tell you that the hunter has been gone for some time again, presumably drunk.
Heinrich has no choice but to save him if he wants to learn more. Complete the side quest “Lakai” so that you can continue with the dog quest.
Once the gamekeeper is home again, still visibly drunk but responsive, you ask him about the dog. He will tell you about a forest west of the nomad camp where another wolf pack is lurking.
At dusk, you head into the forest and you will eventually encounter the dog.
The numerous carcasses point you to the way to the wolf den.
After reuniting with your companion, you can either jump into your first battle together against a wolf pack or run away.
In Season 7 of Diablo 4, the new patch 2.1.3 is coming, bringing several buffs for sorceresses, as well as for the witch powers. We summarize the highlights from the patch notes for you.
Here are the highlights from the patch:
The upcoming patch 2.1.3 buffs some witch powers that represent the seasonal mechanic in the current Season 7. Primarily, Blizzard increases the damage of the skills here.
The classes also receive buffs in the form of improved skills and uniques.
Additionally, the developers strengthen the conduit shrine. Blizzard intends to increase the damage buff for Torment 3 by 37 times. The shrine regularly receives criticism from the community because the once strong buff is now basically useless. Some say: The shrine is “worse than 1 million stubbed toes.”
The patch also brings some bug fixes. The Patch 2.1.3 will go live on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. That evening, the “March of Goblins” event will kick off as well. You can find the detailed English patch notes on page 2 of the article. As soon as they are available in German, we will update the article.
Update March 4, 2025: The article has been updated for the patch day.
The witch powers are the mechanic in Season 7 of Diablo 4. The video introduces you to the witches of Hawezar in under a minute:
Start video
These are the Witches of Hawezar in Diablo 4
Buffs for Sorceresses, Druids, and Rogues
Which classes receive buffs? The patch brings buffs for various classes in Diablo 4. Especially the sorceresses benefit here, as the patch increases, among other things, the damage for the “Ball Lightning” skill. The build around this skill is currently in the lower tiers of the tier list of the strongest endgame builds in Season 7.
Additionally, the explosion of the unique leg armor “Axial Connection” scales with the ranks of the Chain Lightning skill. The damage of the unique focus “Strike of Stormhorn” is also higher and scales with the ranks of “Ball Lightning.”
The strength of the shadow infusion of the rogue through the unique boots “Assassin’s Stride” will also be increased. But there are also a few improvements for the druid. For instance, the damage of the Aspect of Wolfstorm is increased per wolf. With the unique axe “Waxing Moon,” the inherent critical damage is replaced by a 50% chance for “Bleed” to deal double damage.
In Diablo 4, one event chases another – and soon the “March of the Goblins” is returning. Here you have the chance to defeat treasure goblins and grab their fat loot. And the new goblin variants will even remain permanently in the game.
What kind of event is this? In the “March of the Goblins” event, treasure goblins wreak havoc in Sanctuary – and they drop valuable loot bags when you defeat them. The event runs from March 4, 2025, at 7:00 PM to March 11, 2025, at 6:00 PM. You can find the goblins in the open world, at Shrines of Greed, and at the world boss Knorzer.
Update March 4, 2025: The article has been updated for the start of the event.
Additionally, this time there are new goblin variants. They spawn less frequently than the normal treasure goblins and can drop really strong loot – including the coveted Mythic Uniques.
Start video
These are the Witches of Hawezar in Diablo 4
What kind of treasure goblins are those? The new variants of treasure goblins appear less frequently in Sanctuary, but they drop really strong loot. According to Blizzard, the following new variants are supposed to exist during the “March of the Goblins” event:
Ector the Abominable (green): Drops various crafting materials and grants you Obolust when you defeat him at a torment level.
Golden Baron (yellow): Drops plenty of gold.
Glittering Prym (light blue): Drops gemstone fragments, runes, and on torment levels, Under City tributes and scattered prisms.
Murl the Curious (purple): Drops an Obolust bag that remains in your inventory if you have reached the maximum of obolusts.
Syrus of Jelly (blue): Splits into two goblins upon death, which in turn dissolve into three. If you kill the smallest goblins, they drop Legendaries, gold, boss mats, and possibly elixirs.
Fedric the Shimmering Old (purple-pink): Spawns very rarely. Drops a Mythic Unique and a “Magnificent Spark” for crafting Mythics.
The “Golden Baron” goblin provides you with gold.“Syrus of Jelly” splits into more goblins.“Fedric the Shimmering Old” drops Mythic Uniques.
Some of the new treasure goblins resemble the goblins from Diablo 3 – for example, the Golden Baron, who also dropped gold in the predecessor. The Glittering Prym also had its counterpart in Diablo 3 with the Gem Goblin. However, there doesn’t seem to be a Menagerist Goblin that drops pets in this game.
Blizzard points out that the new goblin variants will remain in all realms of Diablo 4 even after the event – but with a lower spawn rate. Defeating the treasure goblins will also earn you prestige during the event. The higher your prestige, the higher your chance of valuable loot. If you complete your prestige, you will receive a “Magnificent Spark.” With the sparks, you craft Mythic Uniques: Crafting Magnificent Sparks – Here’s how to craft Mythic Uniques with it in Diablo 4

The Warhorse Studios have great confidence in the quality of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. How can you tell? The test accesses were available weeks ago. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz and MeinMMO author Johanna Heuck reveal how much fun the renewed trip to medieval Bohemia has been.
For the record: I thought Kingdom Come Deliverance was really good already in 2018. Despite the slow start and all the rough edges, bugs, technical glitches, and potential frustration points, the first trip to medieval Bohemia is one of the most fascinating gaming experiences of the past decade for me.
Warhorse’s first project simply has a lot of heart and soul. The mix of role-playing game and medieval simulation works really well. And if you can deal with the cumbersome, challenging systems, all genre fans can expect an immensely satisfying and fascinating adventure that clearly stands out from the uniform AAA productions of other developers.
Who is writing here? Karsten Scholz is actually the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. However, since the good old SNES days, he has felt right at home in the genre of single-player role-playing games as well.
Recently, for example, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Drova rotated on his hard drives again. He spent almost 60 hours with Kingdom Come Deliverance at its release. With Part 2, it has now become significantly more hours.
You can check out the amusing CGI trailer for the launch of KCD2 here:

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: CGI trailer shows the turbulent life of Heinrich
What do I need to know about Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? If you haven’t played the first part and haven’t heard much about the sequel, here are the basics: KCD2 is a single-player role-playing game in which you control the blacksmith’s son Heinrich from the first-person perspective through medieval Bohemia of the 15th century.
The medieval RPG offers a strong story focus, but also an open world where all residents have a realistic daily routine – similar to, for example, the role-playing series from Piranha Bytes (Gothic, Risen, Elex). You can expect quests, convincingly re-enacted activities like alchemy and blacksmithing, horse racing, dice games, and much more.
However, the medieval simulation encompasses not only the game world but also the main character Heinrich. He needs to eat, wash, sleep, take care of his armor, and improve learned skills through constant practice. Through his decisions and appearance, he gains or loses reputation and sometimes influences the fate of residents in the game world.
The world of Kingdom Come 2 feels “real”.
Tangible progress in Kingdom Come Deliverance
As for the second part, my anticipation was, of course, high, also because I desperately wanted to know how the authors would continue all the open narrative threads from the first part. At the same time, I hoped that the sequel, despite its larger scope, would be released with significantly more polish.
I can say this: KCD2 still has rough edges, bugs, and little issues – such as the AI of the NPCs, which sometimes reacts incomprehensibly to Heinrich or can be easily outsmarted in combat – but these rarely disturbed my gaming experience to the point where they were almost negligible (aside from the increasingly longer loading times). It was quite different with Part 1.
However, there is also progress in the actual content and systems compared to the first Kingdom Come Deliverance. The developers have found solutions to criticisms about, for example, the save system or the combat, without trivializing everything.
Part 2 also looks great; the in-game sequences are often strongly staged, the scope has nearly doubled, the entry is significantly less sluggish, and it’s usually very enjoyable to listen to the voiced dialogues (mostly because some voices of side characters fall short in quality).
The combat feels significantly more intuitive than in the predecessor.
The legacy of Gothic
Speaking of dialogues: They are also fun because they are credibly written. When you talk to people from the working class or the poor district, you might think you’re back in the infamous Minental from the first Gothic – curses and flying fists included.
Another parallel to the best RPG series from Germany: If you enter private property, get into the wrong bed, or even just look at someone else’s belongings askew under the gaze of the owner, the fun ends. If you do not seek to escape, you’ll catch slaps in the face. If Heinrich even pulls out a weapon in the heat of battle, he’ll have half the city guard on his back.
And at least in the first few gaming hours, the open world is for Heinrich just as dangerous as the Minental was for the nameless hero in 2001: Take a wrong turn, and you’ll fall into a trap set by a group of bandits that will wipe the dirty floor with poorly equipped leisure heroes.
Continue on page 2 with the open world, Johanna’s assessment, and reasons why Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 might not be for you despite all its strengths.

Monster fluid is a material that you need in Monster Hunter Wilds to upgrade weapons or craft armor. MeinMMO explains how you can obtain the fluid.
We updated this guide for you on 03.03.2025 to keep it current.
You can obtain monster fluid by hunting certain monsters or as a reward for completing quests. In the following article, we will explain both methods in detail.
Monster Fluid as Drops from Monsters
These monsters drop monster fluid: Currently, you can obtain the material through target rewards from 5 low-level enemies.
Lala Barina (18 %)
Crimson Forest
Wyveria
Bulaqchi (30 %)
Wind Plains
Vespoid (20 %)
Crimson Forest
Oil Spring Pool
Ice Shard Cliffs
Wyveria
Comaqchi (30 %)
Ice Shard Cliffs
Disassembling Nerscylla young ones also guarantees you a monster fluid. This monster is therefore the best choice for farming the material. However, if you haven’t reached the Ice Shard Cliffs yet, the Bulaqchi is your best option.
To succeed in the battle against the beasts, we have the perfect video for you here:

Monster Fluid from Quests
These quests reward you with monster fluid:
A Stage of Rose and Thorn – Assignment
Buggin’ in the Desert – Optional
Beetles in the Crimson Forest – Optional
Every Rose… – Optional
Beetles in the Cliffs – Optional
The quest “Buggin’ in the Desert” allows you to quickly collect monster fluid. For this, you need to defeat 12 Bulaqchis. While you won’t obtain the material by disassembling the monster, you have a 30% chance of receiving it as a target reward.

Therefore, while Sonix has invested roughly 6,942 hours (99.82%) in Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2, the playtime for the remaining 37,494 games is limited to a total of 0.18%. That’s about 12.5 hours.
However, we cannot assess how accurate the statements from SteamLadder.com are. As it is a third-party site, there may be discrepancies with the actual playtime. For instance, the game “Alien Swarm,” which Sonix supposedly played for 551 hours according to Steam, is missing there.
“Pile of Shame” translates to “Stapel der Schande” in German and describes a collection of games that have been purchased but never played (through). Sonix seems to be somewhat of a game collector. There are probably not many players who have a larger Pile of Shame. However, Sonix is not the only Steam user who buys games and does not play through them. With the money that Steam users have wasted on games, one could buy Bethesda twice

The Emperor is one of the most important figures in the world of Warhammer 40,000. Countless legends surround him, but where does this godlike man actually come from? A book from 1990 provides insight.
Anyone familiar with Warhammer 40,000 will have heard of the God-Emperor of Mankind at least once. He is regarded as the most powerful psyker of all time and is worshipped as a god by many; for the Space Marines, he is seen as their father and creator.
It was only through the Emperor that the Imperium of Mankind could even come into existence. He united the warring peoples of Earth and brought together the scattered worlds under one banner.
However, the origins of the Emperor are significantly older – tracing back to prehistoric times and the first humans. The Emperor is actually an ancient shaman. Or more precisely: He is all the shamans that existed back then.
Most of the information in this text comes from the book Realm of Chaos – The Lost and the Damned from 1990. As is often the case with Warhammer, Games Workshop has never confirmed or denied this information again. Therefore, it is still considered a fixed lore by most fans.

Warhammer 40,000: The Cinematic Trailer for the Horus Heresy, the Great Brother War
The First Psykers of Mankind
When humans were still nomads, some special individuals emerged from the group of hunters and gatherers who could sense a power that permeates every living being: the Warp.
These people were shamans, the first psykers in the world of humans. For centuries, shamans used their abilities to help mankind. The coexistence of man and nature was a harmony.
The Warp itself is the realm of emotions and the plane of existence into which the souls of humans go. Through their connection to the Warp, shamans were virtually immortal: after their death, their souls could bathe in the Warp and eventually return.
However, all of this changed when the hunters and gatherers became settled and the first cultures formed. For from that point on, humanity was different.
The cover image actually shows a modern psyker from Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
Humans Create Their Chaos and Thus Their Own Doom
Since the Warp is shaped by the emotions of psychically active beings – like humans – it reflects what these beings feel most strongly. While this was harmony with nature for early humans, it later became greed, desire, and ambition.
From the Warp eventually emerged what you now know as the Realm of Chaos: a power that seeks to annihilate order. Strictly speaking, it is the distorted nature of humanity.
The shamans, as humans with a special connection to the Warp, sensed that something was changing there. Instead of being reborn, their souls were devoured. Dark powers formed – the Chaos Gods.
Out of fear for the future of the entire species, the shamans finally resorted to a drastic measure: a deadly ritual.
Time doesn’t really matter for the Chaos Gods. For our understanding, Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle formed at various times in human history – such as during the plague or the first wars. Slaanesh, the youngest Chaos God, only arose through the arrogance of the Aeldari.
After a long debate, the shamans finally decided to collectively take their lives with poison, sending all their souls into the Warp at once.
Not quite a year later, around 8,000 BC, the man who would later become the Emperor was supposedly born somewhere in Anatolia. As the “last” shaman and the “new man,” he carried the memories of all the shamans before him and was meant to live unchanged forever.
Today, the Emperor has sat on the golden throne for thousands of years, which keeps his soul alive by sacrificing thousands of psykers daily. From his place, the Emperor keeps the Chaos Gods at bay and prevents them from consuming reality.
MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen had the chance to immerse herself in the role-playing game Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 for 3 hours. She is a big fan of classic Japanese RPGs, but with this role-playing game from a French developer, she has probably found her GOTY.
When I’m not busy watching my favorite anime, I spend my free time in all kinds of role-playing games. JRPGs have particularly captured my heart: whether it’s games like Final Fantasy 16, where you engage in action-packed battles, or classic old-school gems like Fantasian: Neo Dimension, I’m a huge fan of all titles from Japan.
Furthermore, I just love abstract stories, ominous settings, and enemies that seem straight out of an art museum. Death Stranding or Persona 5 Royal are good examples of titles where art is more than just portraits of artists with severed ears or fruit baskets.
Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 certainly fits perfectly into my radar. It is a role-playing game that showed in its very first trailer how artistically the world and enemies were designed. A major theme in the game itself is even art, as enemies and items are named in that style.
I was able to test a section of the game for 3 hours and convince myself whether engaging gameplay lies behind the brilliant optics. And what can I say: The game even has a feature that made something I have always found tedious in JRPGs much more exciting.
In the video, you can see the look I am talking about:

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – JRPG with French Flair has Release Date
Clair Obscure is like a JRPG, just without the J
While playing, I discovered surprisingly many similarities with classic Japanese role-playing games. Therefore, I felt “at home” in Clair Obscure right away.
There are turn-based battles like in Persona. An indicator on the left side of the screen shows which character can perform an action in which order. You can choose between melee attacks, ranged attacks, or special skills.
There are individual areas connected by an overworld like in Tales of Symphonia. I was able to travel around in this, encounter enemies, and find hidden items.
Encounters with enemies are not randomly triggered, but like in Dragon Quest 7 by touching the enemy. If I hit the enemy first in the demo before he noticed me, my characters were allowed to perform an action before the enemies.
After spending a lot of time last year with Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3: Reload, many elements from Clair Obscure felt very familiar to me. However, there was a particular twist in the battles that makes the game from the French developer so special.
Clair Obscure indeed features Quick-Time Events, as I remember from the days of Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64. In these, I had to press a button at the right moment while I was attacking or while the enemy was attacking me. This can have different consequences:
With attacks, you deal more damage or inflict a status effect on the enemy if you press the button at the right moment.
If you want to strengthen your group, it might happen that not all members get buffed if you do not press the button at the right time.
As soon as the enemy attacks us, I was able to dodge his attack. The time window is generous, allowing me to easily avoid damage.
For the ultimate counter, I tried to parry every time. Here, the time window for the right button is smaller. However, if I succeeded, I not only avoided damage but also dealt damage back.
And that is exactly why it was important for me to observe the enemies closely. In every battle, I first had to figure out when the right moment to parry is. I had some trouble with certain enemies that charged a spell for a long time. Eventually, I resigned and just dodged. But against boss enemies, it made a gigantic difference.
The area starts with a peaceful forest but ends creepy.The battle system is turn-based.With grappling hooks, you can reach higher places.Quick-Time Events loosen up the rigid battle system.Clair Obscure is dark. You can see this in the levels as well.Each character can be individually customized.In addition, each character has their own skill tree.There are interesting details to see everywhere.In battle, you have multiple options to damage enemies.In the overworld, you can travel between different areas.The facial expressions sometimes look a bit unnatural.
The last boss fight in the demo had to be tackled a second time. The first time, I didn’t quite comprehend when I had to parry. As a result, my characters died faster than I could revive them.
During the second attempt, I was actually only hit once, because I got distracted. Otherwise, every parry action was on point.
After the battle, I realized how much fun these Quick-Time Events are. In most JRPGs like Persona, I somewhat miss the ability to control how much damage you deal or receive. The battles always follow the same pattern and can put me to sleep if they last longer than 5 minutes.
I know there are exceptions like Lost Odyssey or Sea of Stars – but such a battle system is unfortunately still underrepresented.
These short Quick-Time interactions kept me wide awake and gave me something to do even between the menus – without losing track, as sometimes happens in action-heavy battles.
Moreover, players can choose whether they prefer to parry or dodge depending on their skill. Parrying carries a greater risk because the time window to press the button is much smaller. However, when dodging, one must consider that the battle may take longer since no additional damage is dealt.
What I also loved about the battles was the background music. Each boss fight brings a new banger to the ears. It’s not quite at the level of Metaphor and Persona, but it’s definitely catchy.
In Clair Obscure, colors and art play a very important role. The painter determines each year from what age people dissolve. She also paints many enemies that you encounter in the game world. Many of the items are named after terms from the art field, including Chroma and Pictos.
These artistic aspects are also reflected in the game’s world. The individual areas are full of details and have nothing in common with the dull tube levels that I often expect from JRPGs. In one level, for example, it felt like I was underwater and the fish could swim right through me.
The levels invite exploration, both in terms of layout and setting. There are varied thematic areas that go beyond the dull “a snow area, a lava area, and a desert area” that you usually find in many role-playing games. In a peaceful forest level, for instance, I encountered a cave piled high with corpses.
The only critique I noticed was the characters’ facial expressions. They sometimes look unnatural and could use a bit more movement. But aside from that, I had an immense amount of fun with Clair Obscure and can’t wait for the game to be released on April 24, 2025.
Twitch is the largest and most popular live streaming platform, reaching millions of viewers from all over the world. We at MeinMMO show you which streamers are currently the most popular and have generated the most watch time.
This list was updated on March 3, 2025, at 2:30 PM.
How is this list compiled? In this list, you will find the currently most popular Twitch streamers worldwide. Unlike our Top 5 of the biggest German streamers, this includes international content creators.
Language, gender, content, and region do not matter. Instead, it is solely about the average number of viewers. This figure is a good indicator of which streamers are currently actually relevant. The last 30 days were considered for this.
Furthermore, only Twitch streamers who have been on air for at least 40 hours in the last 30 days were considered. Thus, content creators who are not representative of the current Twitch scene are excluded.
To create the list, data from the analysis website sullygnome was used, with figures as of February 20, 2025. Event channels, such as the accounts of various leagues, were not included.
When it comes to followers, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is still the biggest. You can see the current status of the former megastar of Twitch in the video:

On his Twitch channel, he primarily plays GTA V and entertains his viewers in the Just Chatting category. His loud personality is especially what attracts his followers.
Case Baker initially had no success as a content creator. With a trick, he managed to have a double-digit viewership during his first Twitch stream. He recorded gameplay and his facecam, pretending they were highlights from his stream.
He uploaded these “highlights” to other platforms, attracting potential viewers who wanted to experience the events live.
The Twitch streamer buster is a member of the e-sports team FREAK. They are active in various games, including Rainbow Six Siege or Fortnite. buster is among the largest Twitch streamers in Russia, and he usually plays Counter-Strike in his streams.

A Reddit user posted a picture of an RTX 5090 as a birthday gift, accompanied by a small precautionary kit. This refers to the current issues that Nvidia is experiencing with theirnew 50 series cards.
What a gift! A user posted on Reddit a picture of his NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 as a birthday gift for his son, accompanied by the words: “Safety first!”.
The picture shows alongside the graphics card a thermometer, a fire extinguisher, and the sticker “Fake Frames – Real Flames.” The user explained that he had signed up for about 30 waitlists for various 5090 models when the card was released. Only one of the models arrived in time for his son’s birthday.

This is what the gadgets are about: The picture features fire extinguishers, thermometers, and a sticker. These refer to the well-known heat problems with Nvidia graphics cards. Especially the 12VHPWR power connectors have been problematic in the RTX 40 series. Under load, the connectors became excessively hot and in some cases even melted. This issue is also reoccurring with the 50 series (via Reddit).
The thermometer is meant to monitor the temperatures of components and cables. Meanwhile, the fire extinguisher stands by as a precaution for the worst-case scenario. The user himself, an engineer, explains:
“That’s a lot of amperes running through a small, mechanically secured connector. I can imagine that most cards are completely safe, but it just seems reasonable to check the temperatures under load and have an emergency solution at hand.”
What does the sticker mean? The sticker says: “Fake Frames – Real Flames”. It refers to the “fake frames” generated by AI-assisted multi-frame generation. Artificially generated images are created that increase the actual frame rate. Critics label this as “fake,” because they are not genuinely calculated by the GPU. The words “Real Flames” refer to overheating issues and that real flames can arise from that.

The RTX 50 series has a rocky start
These problems are causing discussions: In addition to overheating issues and known supply shortages of the 50 series, Nvidia faces further hurdles. Another topic includes the ROP issues with some RTX 5000 models. The ROPs are responsible for displaying the image calculated by the GPU on the screen.
In certain variants of the RTX 5090, 5070 Ti, and 5080, fewer ROP units were delivered than expected. This can lead to a performance loss of about 4 percent. Nvidia has confirmed this issue, but it only affects a small percentage of the cards. Affected users must identify and report the issue themselves.
I’ve recently been getting beaten up by nasty bosses in really tough games because they are the perfect games for co-op evenings with my girlfriend.
It’s a cool winter evening. The workday is over, the lights in the neighboring houses are slowly going out, and the gaming PC is purring on the edge of the desk. The perfect time to beat up some nasty characters in co-op with my girlfriend.
We have chosen roguelites as the ideal co-op games for us. These are games that derive from the 1980s dungeon crawler “Rogue.” In the now 45-year-old game, you have to explore a dungeon and find treasures. All roguelites have one thing in common: When you die, your run ends – death is a fixed and intentional part of these games.
While a roguelike must meet specific criteria like permadeath and turn-based gameplay, roguelites only need to include some components of the original. Many roguelites, like Hades, Cult of the Lamb, or Dead Cells, therefore offer the possibility of achieving permanent progress in the form of levels, new weapons, or abilities.
From mutated onions to King Arthur
Last year, we actually played every new co-op roguelite that came out on Steam. The highlights were primarily Rotwood – where we fight mutated forest inhabitants with cute little creatures, including rampaging onions – and Temtem Swarm – which is similar to Vampire Survivors, just with the little monsters from the creature-collector Temtem. We also really enjoyed Windblown, where we fight evil machines with warriors in animal form.
Currently, we’re playing Sworn. The game is fundamentally constructed like the successful title Hades: you grab a weapon and start a run. This ends when you finally die or complete the whole game without failing. For this, you have to traverse numerous rooms with enemies.
When you complete a room, you get a reward. This can be permanent currency or an ability that enhances your light attacks with poison or your heavy attacks with ice. After a few rooms with easy enemies comes a miniboss, and a few rooms later, a powerful knight from the Round Table. This continues until we have defeated a total of 3 bosses and 3 minibosses. In the end, King Arthur himself awaits us.
Healing is only rarely available for our brave fighters.

Never has losing been so much fun
In roguelites, there is often no proper victory – after all, the entire game must be completed from start to finish in one run. This usually takes several runs, as our character only gets stronger piece by piece, and we first have to learn the attack patterns of the various bosses. Instead, we take joy in the fact that we’ve made it a bit further in the latest attempt than last time.
Often a run fails because I’ve once again taken way too much damage and in the final boss fight simply don’t have enough life to last long. I’m particularly good at dodging either a tad too early or too late – or I jump right into the attack of the opponent and blame my controller or some mysterious input lag.
I swear I dodged in another direction.
But no matter how much damage I take and how stupidly I die in a boss fight, we steadily progress in the games. Every time I lie beaten on the ground, my girlfriend manages to hold her own against our adversary for several minutes and is usually the driving force that ultimately defeats him and revives me.
Here you can see me defeated lying in the dirt while my girlfriend fights bravely (Yes, she defeated the boss).
I’m not a noob, but I play with a god-gamer
One of my biggest problems in games like Sworn, Windblown, and Rotwood is that I regularly take smaller hits. This steadily drains my health bar and makes it difficult for me to progress in later rooms. Additionally, I struggle when too many colorful effects are displayed on the screen at the same time. Then I lose track and overlook an attack that then hits me.
Overall, I’m not the best at roguelites, but I’m not completely bad either. My girlfriend, on the other hand, is really good. She has genuinely enjoyed playing these games for years and has effortlessly completed many roguelites like Hades or Cult of the Lamb. It’s really fun to watch her zoom through the boss arenas and take on even the mightiest opponents.
I’m sure she can defeat any opponent in a roguelite relatively quickly.
Roguelites are great co-op games – even if you don’t have a carry
Roguelites are really the perfect games for playing together. They are action-packed and challenging. We can play them together without other players, and the general gameplay loop is enjoyable for both of us. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy beating up grim-looking onions with fast attack combos and escaping the devastating attacks of a boss with quick dodges?
If you ask me, co-op roguelites are not only suitable for couples where at least one player is a master of the genre. What’s important is that you enjoy the game mechanics and always stay positive. Even if you keep failing, that’s not bad because you don’t fail alone. Shared misery is half the misery and all that. Eventually, you’ll succeed, and then you can celebrate your shared victory.
For example, we also played Cuphead together, which is generally considered quite difficult in some sections. There were moments when the game really frustrated me. But when we finally defeated that bastard of a boss who had been flattening us the whole time, the shared joy was even greater. Those are the really lovely moments!
Roguelites, soulslikes, and other games considered relatively difficult have a special appeal for me. I prefer playing shooters and am generally a very competitive gamer. You’ll usually find me in PvP games, especially in tactical shooters like Rainbow: Six Siege and Valorant. However, I would never force my girlfriend to play shooters with me if she doesn’t enjoy it.
Roguelites tap into the part of my gamer personality that pulls me into PvP games: they bring out my ambition. I want to get better, I want to kick the boss’s ass in the next run, I want to conquer the challenge that the game and its completion offers me. So it’s quite simple:
We both enjoy roguelites together – it’s nice to laugh together about how I’ve jumped into an attack like an idiot once again, and it’s nice to achieve successes together.

In this list, we name 10 seemingly harmless children’s movies that turned out to be absolute nightmare material.
Almost everyone has experienced this in their childhood: You are allowed to watch a movie that is considered harmless because it is a children’s film. Full of anticipation, you look at the screen and the movie starts, but something feels odd.
The images give you an unsettling feeling, you are scared, confronted with things that your young mind has not yet contemplated.
The official website of the German FSK (short for Voluntary Self-Regulation of the Film Industry) states that it aims to ensure through its age ratings that films do not impair the development of children and adolescents or their education towards an independent and community-capable personality.
An FSK 6 rating describes the following:
Starting from 9 years of age, children can begin to distinguish between fictional and real stories.
In younger children, on the other hand, the emotional, episodic impression is still in the foreground.
A six-year-old child is still completely immersed in the film’s story, suffering and fearing with the identification figures.
Tension and threatening moments can already be processed, but they must not last too long or have too lasting an effect.
A positive resolution of conflict situations is also crucial here.
Keep this information in mind as you read this list. All the movies listed are rated FSK 0 or FSK 6. These 10 films are known for their dark images and themes that may have given you sleepless nights in your childhood:
The Last Unicorn (1982)
The Last Unicorn and the Red Bull
Image rights for The Last Unicorn belong to LEONINE Studios.
The Last Unicorn is regarded today as a timeless fantasy fairy tale suitable for families with older children. However, for unprepared younger children, the frightening images were literally nightmarish: the ominous visions of the unicorns fleeing, the use of creepy music, and the monstrous appearance of the red bull and other creatures in the film are just a few things that contribute to this effect.

On the weekend, the big GO Tour 2025 took place in Pokémon GO. Despite some content, the event did not go down well with MeinMMO author Paul Kutzner.
On March 1st and 2nd, 2025, it was that time again: the GO Tour 2025 was the first major event of the year in Pokémon GO. This is, alongside the GO Fest and the GO Nature Zone, one of the three major events taking place in the game. While the GO Nature Zone took place for the first time last year, the other two events have been around for years.
Despite some content and even the introduction of new fusions with corresponding new adventure effects, there were some points that dampened my enjoyment of the event.

Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
Many Raids, Little Fusion Energy
Fusion energy for Kyurem: With the event, the fusion for Kyurem was unlocked. Raids had to be completed to obtain the necessary fusion energy to perform the fusion.
However, the number of raids required here was quite high. Between 80 – 150 fusion energy could be obtained per raid, of which 1,000 were needed to perform a fusion. Even with the previously published promo codes, which provided some energy, several raids had to be completed.
This, combined with the fact that there were no separate free raid passes for the event, meant that I quickly lost interest in completing the required number of raids.
In my opinion, this is done better on raid days. Trainers receive appropriate free raid passes, which likely increases the motivation of many trainers to participate in raids.
Pokémon in the Wild and Smoke: During the GO Tour 2025, there were again the hourly changing habitats that one is used to from such events. However, the Pokémon in these habitats were unfortunately quite uninteresting for me personally.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that I have been playing Pokémon GO since 2016, with interruptions, and thus possess several examples of strong monsters in my team. It would have benefited the event to have brought in some more monsters with strong evolutions. This would have provided me with additional motivation.
Trainers who focus more on collecting the various monsters could at least hunt for new costumed Pikachu and regional monsters during the event. However, since I have already collected the regional monsters in the past and costumed Pikachu do not hold much value for me, there was nothing here I wanted to collect.
Players who have not spent much time in the game yet and have not been around for long can of course benefit more from this and still snag one or two strong or rare monsters that are still missing from their collection.
The use of smoke also only produced Incognito, along with the costumed Pikachu variants, unfortunately.
Shiny Pokémon: Speaking of Pokémon in the wild: the chance to obtain some monsters in their shiny forms was not particularly high during the event.
While this is still an argument for turning another round in other events, such as Community Days, this unfortunately fell flat during the GO Tour 2025.
All in all, the event unfortunately did not score well with me personally. This may be different for players who have spent less time in the game so far. And that’s perfectly fine. After all, it’s not easy to cater to every single trainer in an event and make everyone happy.
What is your opinion on the event? Did you enjoy it, or were you also rather disappointed? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
While the GO Fest represented the first event of the new month, there will of course be many other events and content waiting for you in the game in the coming weeks. If you want to get an overview of this, then feel free to take a look at our overview with all events in March 2025 in Pokémon GO.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, one of the biggest goals is to build a strong build with a powerful weapon. Among the most powerful weapons are the Artian weapons. MeinMMO explains everything you need to know about the Artian weapons.
What are Artian weapons? Artian weapons are a special form of each weapon type that you can craft in high rank. With certain resources, you can customize the weapons to add elements or focus on attributes like affinity.
The ability to craft these weapons is unlocked after you defeat your first tempered monster (Lala Barina) in chapter 4 of the main quest. Then you will receive the first resource to start forging such weapons. We will explain exactly how that works.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Forging Artian Weapons
How do you forge Artian weapons? Once you have hunted your first tempered monster, you will unlock the ability to craft Artian weapons at the forge (Gemma). However, you will need specific materials that you receive by hunting tempered monsters.
Alternatively, you can also produce the required materials at the smelter in Suja.
Each weapon requires 3 materials, which vary from weapon to weapon. To craft a weapon, you always need 3 materials, which can be blade, device, disk, or tube.
Here is how the menu option at the blacksmith might look:
This is what the forge menu for Artian weapons looks like

Each material has an element type, an Artian bonus, and a rarity:
If you use an element twice, the weapon will also have that element
The affinity fusion and attack fusion influence how the respective values of the weapon will be
The materials also have a rarity, which determines how rare your weapon will be
The following materials are needed for each of the 14 weapon types:
Great Sword: Blade, Blade, Tube
Long Sword: Blade, Tube, Tube
Sword and Shield: Blade, Tube, Disk
Dual Blades: Blade, Blade, Disk

Monster Hunter Wilds: Upgrading Artian Weapons
How do I upgrade Artian weapons? The special thing about Artian weapons is that you can upgrade them with certain materials. The ores required for this can be obtained either at the blacksmith festival in the settlement in the oil source basin or at any base camp from Nata.
You can upgrade each weapon up to level 5; for this you need to invest materials to reach a threshold. The following materials yield the respective points:
Tristit gives 20 points
Sprenklit gives 100 points
Argezit gives 200 points
Orikalzit gives 300 points
This is what the upgrade menu for Artian weapons looks like
At the blacksmith, you can also dismantle Artian weapons. However, you will only receive the upgrade materials, not those required for crafting the weapons.
Monster Hunter Wilds offers something for every grind and crafting fan. In addition to the many weapons you can craft from parts of various monsters, there are also many armors you can create.

Which character is being discussed? It is a figure that not only calls Hogwarts home, but more specifically the paintings of the castle. It is about the knight Sir Cadogan, who even had a speaking role.
He appears in the popular third part of the Harry Potter films, “The Prisoner of Azkaban,” in which he was even the central focus of a short scene. However, this scene was cut, and Sir Cadogan has since become a rather unknown role in the Harry Potter universe. Nevertheless, the knight continues to live on in other ways.
Image rights of the Harry Potter films are owned by Warner Bros.
Here you can see the trailer for the third part of the Harry Potter series:

What does the deleted scene include? Those who have already seen the third part will surely remember the torn painting of the Fat Lady, which was destroyed by Sirius Black. After this incident, Sir Cadogan felt responsible to temporarily stand in for the Fat Lady and guard the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.
The deleted scene shows a group of students, including Seamus, Dean, Neville, and Ron, complaining about Cadogan’s habit of changing the password too often. However, Dean also points out that the knight was the only resident of the paintings who voluntarily took on this task following the fate of the Fat Lady.
What role does Cadogan play in the games? Even though Sir Cadogan had to make do with a minor role in the films, he can still be found in the video games. He appears in the video game adaptation of “The Prisoner of Azkaban” from 2004, but also in those for “The Order of the Phoenix” (2006), “The Half-Blood Prince” (2009), and also Hogwarts Legacy (2023).
On the DVD of the third part, he even has his own game titled “The Quest of Sir Cadogan.” Here, you travel with the knight through the portraits of the castle to reach the Gryffindor common room, during which he experiences various mishaps along the way.
What connects Cadogan to the story? Cadogan was the one who granted Sirius Black access to the Gryffindor Tower, as Sirius had come into possession of Neville’s list of the week’s passwords. Following this, the knight was dismissed as the doorkeeper, and the Fat Lady returned to her post with a repaired portrait.
Both residents of the paintings secured access to the Gryffindor students’ retreat through passwords. The Gryffindor house is possibly the most well-known and one of the most popular houses at Hogwarts, as it produced powerful witches and wizards, along with the main protagonists of the films and books.
