How to Complete For Whom the Bell Tolls in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

This guide details how to complete the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This main quest, unlocked after "Wedding Crashers," requires rescuing Hans from execution in Trosky Castle.

A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Hauling Sacks: Begin by transporting sacks from a wagon to a nearby shed. This is a mandatory task; repeat until complete.

2. Helping the Blacksmith: Next, assist the blacksmith by crafting a horseshoe using materials found at the forge. Deliver the finished horseshoe to the stables.

3. Assisting Fanka the Cook: Retrieve a lockpick from a red pot in the forge. Speak with Fanka, the cook, and offer your assistance to gain access to the castle kitchen. (Optional: Lockpicking increases reputation and future kitchen access).

4. Interacting with the Chamberlain: Speak to the ailing chamberlain in the kitchen. Attempt to persuade him to allow you to brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants access to the surgeon's workshop; failure requires stealth.

5. Crafting the Fever Tonicum: If you failed to persuade the chamberlain, acquire food from the kitchen to distract a guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly. In the surgeon's workshop, craft a Fever Tonicum (and a Digestive Potion if you convinced the chamberlain).

6. Curing Thomas: If you helped the chamberlain, return with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, use a stealthy route through the kitchen stairs, distracting guards as needed, to reach Thomas' room. Give Thomas' sister, Adele, the Fever Tonicum to trigger the final cutscene.

Completing these steps before the bell tolls twelve times rewards reputation. However, the quest outcome remains the same regardless of timing.
