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

Completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Comprehensive Guide

This main quest, following "Wedding Crashers," requires rescuing Hans from execution in Trosky Castle. Henry, spared execution to work as a laborer, must use this opportunity to save his friend before the bell tolls twelve times.

The Tasks Ahead:

This guide breaks down the quest into manageable steps:

1. Sack Hauling:

Begin by transporting sacks from a wagon to a nearby shed. This is a mandatory objective; repeat until complete.

2. Assisting the Blacksmith:

Next, help the blacksmith by crafting a horseshoe using materials found at the forge. Deliver the finished horseshoe to the stables.

3. Aiding 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. While lockpicking isn't strictly necessary, it boosts your reputation and allows future access to food.

4. Interacting with the Chamberlain:

Speak to the ailing chamberlain. Persuading him to allow you to brew a Digestive Potion grants access to the surgeon's workshop. Failure requires stealthier methods.

5. Crafting the Cure:

Whether you convinced the chamberlain or not, access the surgeon's workshop (either directly or by sneaking past guards using food as a distraction). Create a Fever Tonicum; crafting a Digestive Potion is optional, depending on your earlier interaction with the chamberlain. Sufficient ingredients are available in the workshop chest.

6. Thomas's Treatment:

Deliver the Fever Tonicum to Thomas. If you persuaded the chamberlain, return to him first. If sneaking, use a stealthy route via the kitchen stairs to avoid guards. Distract the guard at the bottom of the stairs leading to Thomas' room with a pebble before proceeding. Administer the tonic to complete the quest.

Successfully completing these steps before the bell tolls twelve times will earn you reputation. Regardless of timing, the quest's conclusion remains the same.
