Spy Ring Quest Guide - Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord

The Spy Ring is a quest you get from a nobleman in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. It seems to appear randomly in games, with no specific noble that you have to find or speak to to get it. Before getting into the stages that we know of, you should know that this quest causes a lot of heartache in the community. Some people find it difficult to complete it, and it could be due to some bugs, due to the early access nature of the game.

For this quest, you must discover a spy who is working to undermine the rule of the Lord who gives you the quest. The only thing known to the spy is that he will participate in a tournament.

What you'll need to do is talk to as many people as possible in the city until you get three clues. This appears to be RNG, so we suggest you head to the tavern and talk to as many people as possible, which will hopefully get you all three clues. Otherwise, you will have to wander the streets looking for people to talk to.

There will be three clues in total, which will give you a rough indicator of who you are looking for. When you have all three clues, walk around town and hold Alt left. This will highlight three areas in which there are three different gangs. The spy you are looking for will be in one of these gangs.

Now some people are reporting that the clues are incorrect and you cannot identify the person you are looking for from them. A popular issue seems to be a clue that the spy is not bald, only one of three possible spies having hair, but still not being the real spy when you face them.

When you feel satisfied with your choice as to who the spy is, you need to talk to him and have him fight a duel. What should happen is you kill the spy and the quest is over. If you choose the wrong person, it will turn into murder and the mission will fail.

It's a cute buggy quest right now, according to various player reports, so it would be best to just ignore it if it shows up in your game. We played the mission, but we had similar issues as the other players, with confusing clues and a murder charge at the end.

We'll make sure to keep an eye out for future patch notes and update this article with any additional information that is revealed or fixes that may come in.
