This guide details completing the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This main quest follows "Wedding Crashers," where Hans faces execution in Trosky unless rescued. Henry, spared a direct execution, must utilize his forced labor to save him.
Key Steps:
1. Hauling Sacks: Begin by transporting sacks from a wagon to a nearby shed. This is non-negotiable. 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 assistance. This grants kitchen access. (Optional: Lockpicking her door boosts reputation and future food access).
4. Interacting with the Chamberlain: The ailing chamberlain is in the kitchen. Attempt to persuade him to allow you to brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants access to the surgeon's workshop; failure necessitates stealth.
5. Crafting the Fever Tonicum: If you failed to convince the chamberlain, acquire food from the kitchen to distract a guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly. In the surgeon's workshop, craft a Fever Tonicum (and a Digestive Potion if you persuaded the chamberlain).
6. Treating Thomas: If you aided the chamberlain, deliver the Digestive Potion to him, gaining access to Thomas' room. Otherwise, stealthily navigate to Thomas' room, potentially distracting a guard with a pebble. Give Thomas' sister, Adele, the Fever Tonicum to trigger the quest's conclusion.
Successfully treating Thomas before the bell tolls twelve times earns reputation points. However, a successful rescue is guaranteed regardless of timing.
