To complete The Best for Last in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, follow the quest marker to Herbalist Barnaby’s hut in the Kopanina woods near Tachov, challenge him to a fistfight, then decide whether to pursue the win or stay for his optional conversation. If you want the extra dialogue, accept his invitation to stay and share mead; choosing to leave can end that part of the task early.
How to start The Best for Last
The task follows the Trosky brawling contests. PowerPyx says it begins automatically after completing Wine, Women and Blood and speaking with Innkeeper Lawrence about defeating the opponents. The Kingdom Come: Deliverance Wiki describes a broader progression: after the fights at Lower Semine Mill and Zhelejov Wagoners’ Inn, either Miller Kreyzl or Lawrence can point Henry toward the regional champion. Follow the quest marker when it appears.

Where to find Herbalist Barnaby
Barnaby is in a hut in the Kopanina woods, north or northeast of Trosky Castle and near Tachov. The Gamer Guides walkthrough and the wiki place him in this wooded area. Speak to him to challenge the undefeated Trosky grandmaster.
Should you save before challenging Barnaby?
NightlyGamingBinge’s walkthrough warns that Barnaby allows only one challenge and that the bout ends when either fighter gives up. Because that one-attempt behavior is reported by a guide rather than official game documentation, treat it as a practical precaution: save before starting if you want a chance to retry.

How to beat Barnaby in the fistfight
The wiki describes Barnaby as a tough opponent with substantial health and quick, damaging attacks. Its advice is to use combos rather than depend entirely on perfect blocks and counters. This is qualitative guidance, not a guaranteed strategy: your build and difficulty can affect how the fight plays out.
PowerPyx reports that Henry can surrender immediately and still complete the task through the later dialogue, but surrendering does not satisfy the objective to win. Choose this route if you primarily want to see Barnaby’s conversation; do not rely on it for the win-dependent Henry the Bruiser achievement.
How to keep Barnaby’s optional conversation
After the fight, Barnaby may invite Henry to stay, drink mead and talk. To continue, select these responses in order:
-
“I can stay for a while.”
-
“Mead, you say?”
Once inside Barnaby’s house, avoid dialogue choices about leaving. When prompted, ask, “You’re not here voluntarily, are you?” PowerPyx says the Unarmed and Persuasion checks have higher requirements than Impression, making Impression the comparatively easier choice if Henry’s skills are around level 15; it does not provide exact thresholds. The wiki also reports that staying for the talk and drink improves reputation with Barnaby and opens dialogue about his past and secluded life. Negative replies can lower reputation, according to PowerPyx.
