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

Following the "Wedding Crashers" quest, you find yourself imprisoned in Trosky, with Hans facing execution. Fortunately, you're assigned labor around the castle instead, giving you the chance to devise a rescue plan.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed near the fenced area. This is a mandatory step, so grab a sack from the wagon and deposit it in the shed. Repeat until the objective is fulfilled.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you're directed to assist the blacksmith in crafting a horseshoe. Locate the forge across from the archway, gather the necessary materials, and craft the horseshoe. Once approved, take it to the stables along the path where you hauled sacks.

Help Fanka the Cook

After delivering the horseshoe, it's time to aid Hans. Retrieve a lockpick from the red pot at the forge and speak with Fanka, the cook near the forge. Offering your help grants you access to the noble's kitchen, enhancing your reputation and securing a food source.

Speak with the Chamberlain

In the kitchen, you'll find the chamberlain in discomfort. Convince him to let you brew a Digestive Potion, which grants you access to the surgeon's workshop. If unsuccessful, you'll need to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

If you couldn't convince the chamberlain, grab food from the kitchen to distract a guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly to the workshop near the forge. Ascend the stairs to the surgeon's workshop, where you'll find ingredients in a chest to craft the Fever Tonicum and, if needed, the Digestive Potion.

Cure Thomas

If aiding the chamberlain, return with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, avoid guards by using the noble's kitchen stairs and throwing a pebble to distract a guard at the staircase leading to Thomas' room. Once inside, give the Fever Tonicum to Adele, Thomas' sister, triggering the quest-ending cutscene.

Completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* before the 12 bells toll will boost your reputation, though the quest's outcome remains the same regardless of timing.
