Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The main quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" kicks off immediately after you finish "Wedding Crashers." You find yourself imprisoned in Trosky, with Hans facing execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is spared the gallows and instead tasked with labor around the castle. Use this limited freedom to orchestrate Hans' rescue.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task isn't optional: you must haul sacks to a shed. Pick up a sack from the wagon and carry it to the shed adjacent to the fenced area. Drop it inside, then repeat until the objective is complete.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you're directed to assist the blacksmith, who reluctantly agrees to let you craft a horseshoe. Head to the forge through the archway opposite the blacksmith. Gather the necessary materials and create the horseshoe, then return it to him. Once approved, follow the path you used for hauling sacks to the stables and deliver the horseshoe.

With the horseshoe delivered, it's time to aid Hans. Return to the forge and grab the lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Approach the nearby woman, Fanka, who works as a cook in the noble's kitchen. By offering to help her, you gain access to this restricted area.

Follow Fanka to the kitchen. While you don't have to lockpick the door for her, doing so boosts your reputation and earns you a standing invitation to collect food whenever you need it, which can be crucial for the upcoming steps.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain in distress. Engage in conversation with him and attempt to persuade him to let you brew a Digestive Potion. If successful, he grants you access to the surgeon's workshop. If not, you'll need to sneak in.

If you failed to convince the chamberlain, grab some food from the kitchen to distract the guard at the non-noble's kitchen entrance across from the forge. Otherwise, proceed directly to the surgeon's workshop. Ascend the stairs and navigate through the halls until you reach a door on the right leading to the workshop. Use the ingredients in the chest to craft the Fever Tonicum and, if you persuaded the chamberlain, a Digestive Potion.

Cure Thomas

If you're aiding the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to secure permission to treat Thomas. If sneaking, you'll need to take an alternative route. Return to the noble's kitchen and ascend the stairs, avoiding guards by staying crouched. Distract any guards with a pebble if necessary, then sneak up to Thomas' room where Adele is caring for him. Hand over the Fever Tonicum to Adele, triggering the quest-ending cutscene.

That's how to complete "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Successfully curing Thomas before the 12th bell tolls will boost your reputation, though the quest's outcome remains consistent regardless.
