You'll encounter Katherine relatively early in the game, but unraveling her true identity and purpose will take some time. To romance her, you'll need to delve deep into the main storyline and successfully complete several side quests connected to her. Below, I'll outline the crucial steps and key interactions.
The King’s Gambit
Your journey towards romancing Katherine becomes more focused during the main quest titled "The King’s Gambit." During this quest, you'll spend a night in Suchdol and have the opportunity to spend time with Katherine. In a memorable scene, Katherine will bathe you while you're in Sigismund's camp. To start flirting with her, choose these dialogue options:

Complete Side Quests for Katherine
After "The King’s Gambit," you'll need to complete two side quests for Katherine in the Kuttenberg region: "The Fifth Commandment" and "The Stalker."
The Fifth Commandment
Initiate "The Fifth Commandment" by talking to Katherine at the Kuttenberg tavern. She'll enlist your help in tracking down a serial killer. This quest is straightforward, but you'll face a crucial decision at the end. It's imperative to allow Katherine to kill the serial killer instead of turning him in. This choice will significantly boost your relationship with her.
The Stalker
Begin "The Stalker" by speaking with Katherine again. You'll need to deal with a stalker harassing her. The objectives are clear, but you'll need to pass a Speech check to persuade him to leave. Alternatively, you can bribe him with 200 groschen or simply resort to physical force.
The Italian Job
After completing these side quests, continue the main storyline until you reach "The Italian Job." Your task here is to rescue hostages before meeting Jan Zizka. Before your conversation with Zizka, head to the courtyard and ascend the stairs in the minting room to find Katherine. Engage her in conversation and offer compliments to further your romantic endeavors. Then, proceed with the quest.
Hunger and Despair
The culmination of your romance with Katherine occurs during the main quest "Hunger and Despair." After battling soldiers and speaking with Zizka, find Katherine in the infirmary. Choose this dialogue option:
- "I’ll bring help, and everything will be alright again."
Subsequently, meet her at the ramparts to finalize your romantic storyline with her.
