Chumps on the River

Master the Chumps on the River archery mini-game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance! Learn how to bet, aim at moving targets, and beat your opponents to earn Groschen.

Alright, so you're looking to try your luck at the archery mini-game in Ledetchko, huh? It's called 'Chumps on the River,' and you can find the archery master, Vatzek, right there in town. Chat him up to get the rundown on the rules, and then you'll need to put down some Groschen to enter the competition. Whatever you bet, those other two villagers will match it, so keep that in mind!

You can bet up to 50 Groschen each round. If you're feeling confident and hit a lot of targets, you could potentially walk away with 150 Groschen per game. Not too shabby for a bit of target practice!

Once the bet's down, the real fun begins. You'll need to shoot as many of those coloured arrows as you can into the logs floating down the river. If you've already got a decent handle on archery and can adjust for moving targets, you should do pretty well. If you're still a bit shaky with the bow, don't sweat it! Head over to the 'Hunting' section for some basic tips on aiming and figuring out your shot's trajectory. It'll help you out.

Now, you'll be up against two other villagers, but honestly, they're usually pretty slow. This means you can afford to take your time lining up a perfect shot, or just wait for the logs to get a bit closer. The trick is that the game ends as soon as the first log reaches Vatzek, who's chilling downstream. So, make sure you've got the most arrows stuck in logs by the time he calls it. Once he signals the end, just go chat with him to collect your winnings and finish the activity.

The best part? You can play 'Chumps on the River' as many times as you want. It's a fantastic way to hone your archery skills and pocket some extra Groschen while you're at it. Good luck!
