For Victory quest begins right after completing the Demons of Trosky quest in the Trosky region in KCD2. Before starting the quest, make sure you finish all remaining side quests and get party clothing from the tailor Bartoshek in Troskowitz to attend the grand feast with Hans Capon.
This guide breaks down all the objectives and events related to this quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, including the two romance options it gives you.
How to Start the Quest
To begin the quest, you need to meet Lord Von Bergow at the Trosky Castle. Once the quest starts, clear all ongoing side quests and meet Hans Capon. You will find him in the walkway overlooking the smithy at evening 7 in-game time.

Help Knight Herrmann Littlehead

You will need to be stealth while doing this, and once you get the ring, you can give it to Adelta, the woman sitting next to Florian in the red dress.
This will cost Florian his reputation, you will have a duel with Adleta’s husband, and when you defeat him, you will get 100 Groschen. Return to Herrman, and he will give you the Strength skill book and Weak Savior Schnapps.

- Shall we spend the rest of the evening alone?
Get Capon’s Armor
After waking up, head to Blacksmith Osina in the smithy. Initially, he will try to avoid giving you the armor, so you need to threaten him by choosing “You’re trying to fleece me” or “I’ll go tell the chamberlain,” and he will hand over the armor.
Get the Wine
Once you have the armor, head to the kitchen and you will find Cook Fanka, ask her about the girl serving wine. She will ask you to talk to Cook Manyeta.

Give the Armor and Wine to Capon
After getting everything, talk to Hans and give him the armor, sword, and wine you collected. You can get some weapons and armor from the blacksmith for yourself, as well as you will both set out on battle.
Set Out for Battle
Follow Hans to the gates to join the army. Once set out, you need to stay close to Hans and make sure he doesn’t die during the battle.
Just as you move past the forest, you will be ambushed by a group of bandits. Make sure to attack all the bandits and move past the forest.
Make your way to the chamberlain, and you will find him ambushed by two bandits. Take out the bandits to free the chamberlain. Note that he will eventually drop dead; you can’t save him from dying.
Find Hans and you will find him crouching down near a broken cart. Head under the tree and move forward, and Hans will start following. You will encounter bandits on the road leading to Nebakov.
You will encounter a barricade with many archers; take them out first.
This will lead to a cutscene where Hans will be knocked out, and the captain of bandits will come out challenging you to a duel.
Just as the fight ends, Henry and Hans will be captured, and the next quest will begin.
