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

Main quests can indeed be stressful, especially when you're navigating unfamiliar areas under a time constraint. Here's a detailed walkthrough for completing the quest "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 completing "Wedding Crashers." You find yourself imprisoned in Trosky, where Hans is scheduled for execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is assigned to work as a laborer around the castle instead of staying in prison, providing a window of opportunity to save Hans.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed, which is a mandatory objective. Start by taking a sack from the wagon and carrying it to the shed next to the fenced area. Drop the sack inside the shed and repeat the process until the objective 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 area. Gather the necessary materials from the forge and craft the horseshoe. Once done, return to the blacksmith for approval, then proceed down the path you used for hauling sacks to the stables and deliver the horseshoe.

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, engage with the nearby woman, Fanka, who works as a cook in the noble's kitchen. Offering to help her grants you access to the kitchen. Follow Fanka to the kitchen; while you don't need to lockpick it for her, doing so boosts your reputation and allows you to obtain food whenever needed.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering from pain. 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. Head to the stairs opposite the forge and enter the kitchen used by non-nobles. If sneaking, give the guard the food to make him leave, then head upstairs. Navigate through the halls until you reach the surgeon's workshop on the right. Craft the Fever Tonicum and, if you convinced the chamberlain, also make a Digestive Potion using the ingredients in the room's chest.

Cure Thomas

If you're helping the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, take an alternative route. Return to the noble's kitchen and ascend the stairs to avoid additional guards. Stay crouched and move carefully. When you encounter a guard at the bottom of a staircase leading to Thomas' room, throw a pebble to distract him and sneak past. Continue up the stairs to find Thomas in bed with his sister, Adele. Give Adele the Fever Tonicum, triggering the quest's concluding cutscene.

That's how to successfully complete "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Helping Thomas before the 12 bells toll enhances your reputation, though the quest's outcome remains the same regardless.
