In the morning speak with Hans to hand over the wine and weapons. It is better that you equip the bascinet given by Osina yourself if you don't have better helmets, and give the rest to Capon. If for some reason he doesn't accept it, try putting on any other helmet from your inventory. If that doesn't work either, hand him the bascinet.

The Duel

After the cutscene ends, you'll enter a duel with Captain Zizka. This fight will not be much different from the other regular encounters.
