Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The main quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" follows immediately after "Wedding Crashers." In this scenario, Hans finds himself imprisoned in Trosky, facing execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is assigned to work as a laborer around the castle instead of staying in prison, giving him a narrow window of opportunity to orchestrate Hans's rescue.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed, a non-optional objective. Start by picking up 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 task is complete.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you'll need to assist the blacksmith, who, though initially reluctant, instructs you to forge a horseshoe. Head through the archway opposite the blacksmith to find the forge. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Upon returning it to the blacksmith for approval, proceed down the path you used for hauling sacks to locate 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 grab a lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Engage with the nearby woman, Fanka, the cook in the noble's kitchen. By offering your help, you gain access to the kitchen, typically off-limits to you. Accompany Fanka to the kitchen. While lockpicking isn't required, doing so can boost your reputation and grant future access to food, which might prove advantageous in the subsequent stages.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering. Approach and converse with him, attempting to persuade him to allow you to create a Digestive Potion. Success here grants you access to the surgeon's workshop; otherwise, you'll need to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

If you failed to convince the chamberlain, you'll need to take some food from the kitchen to distract the guard and sneak into the workshop. If granted access, head to the stairs opposite the forge and enter the kitchen used by non-nobles. You'll encounter a guard; distract him with food to proceed unnoticed upstairs.

Navigate through the flights of stairs until you reach a hall with two doors. The right door leads to the surgeon's workshop. Here, you can craft the Fever Tonicum and, if you've convinced the chamberlain, the Digestive Potion as well, using the ingredients found in the room's chest.

Cure Thomas

If you're assisting the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas's room. If sneaking, prepare for one more route.

Return to the noble's kitchen and ascend the stairs to bypass additional guards, avoiding the bridge between the workshop and kitchen. Stay crouched as you climb, as most guards won't notice you. However, you'll encounter a guard at the bottom of a staircase leading to Thomas's room. Distract him with a pebble to slip past, and proceed to Thomas's room where his sister, Adele, is attending to him. Hand over the Fever Tonicum to Adele, triggering the cutscene that concludes the quest.

That's the complete guide to navigating "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Assisting Thomas before the bell tolls 12 times will enhance your reputation, but the quest's outcome remains consistent regardless.
