Guide: Finish 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Main quests can be stressful, especially when you're sneaking around unfamiliar areas under a time limit. Here's a detailed walkthrough for completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" begins immediately after "Wedding Crashers." You find yourself imprisoned in Trosky, with Hans facing execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is assigned to work as a laborer around the castle, providing a chance to save Hans.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed. This is a mandatory objective. Grab a sack from the wagon and carry it to the shed next to the fenced area. Drop the sack inside and repeat until the task is complete.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you're tasked with assisting the blacksmith, who reluctantly asks you to craft a horseshoe. Head through the archway opposite the blacksmith to reach the forge. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Once approved by the blacksmith, take the horseshoe to the stables along the path you used for hauling sacks.

Help Fanka the Cook

After delivering the horseshoe, it's time to aid Hans. Return to the forge and pick up the lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Then, speak with Fanka, the cook standing nearby. Offering to help her grants you access to the noble's kitchen. Follow Fanka to the kitchen; while you don't need to lockpick it, doing so boosts your reputation and allows future food access.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain in distress. Engage with him and attempt to persuade him to let you brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants you access to the surgeon's workshop; otherwise, you'll need to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

If you couldn't convince the chamberlain, grab some food from the kitchen to distract the guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly to the workshop. Climb the stairs opposite the forge to reach the non-noble kitchen, then head upstairs to the surgeon's workshop. Use the ingredients in the chest to craft the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion.

Cure Thomas

If you're helping the chamberlain, return with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, take the stairs from the noble's kitchen to avoid guards. Stay crouched and use a pebble to distract the guard at the bottom of the staircase leading to Thomas' room. Sneak past him and reach Thomas' room, where you'll find him in bed with his sister, Adele. Give Adele the Fever Tonicum to trigger the quest-ending cutscene.

Completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* before the 12 bells toll increases your reputation. Regardless, the quest's outcome remains the same.
