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

Embarking on the main quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* can indeed be a nerve-wracking experience, especially when you're navigating unfamiliar areas under a tight deadline. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to successfully complete this quest and save Hans from his impending execution in Trosky Castle.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" begins immediately after the conclusion of "Wedding Crashers." With Hans now imprisoned and facing execution once the bell tolls 12 times, Henry is spared the same fate but is instead tasked with labor duties around the castle. Utilize this limited freedom wisely to orchestrate Hans' rescue.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a designated shed. This is a mandatory step, so grab a sack from the wagon and carry it to the shed adjacent to the fenced area. Once you've dropped the sack inside, repeat the process until the objective is fulfilled.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you're directed to assist the blacksmith, who reluctantly asks you to forge a horseshoe. Head to the forge area through the archway opposite the blacksmith. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Once completed, return it to the blacksmith for approval, then proceed to the stables along the path you used for hauling sacks to deliver the horseshoe.

Help Fanka the Cook

After delivering the horseshoe, shift your focus to aiding Hans. Return to the forge and retrieve a lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Engage with the nearby woman, Fanka, who works as a cook in the noble's kitchen. By offering your help, you gain access to the kitchen. Follow Fanka there; while lockpicking isn't necessary, doing so boosts your reputation and grants you future access to food supplies.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering from pain. Converse with him and attempt to persuade him to allow you to 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, you'll need to use kitchen food to distract the guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly to the workshop located up the stairs across from the forge. Inside, you'll find the necessary ingredients in a chest to craft both the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion.

Cure Thomas

If you're assisting the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. For those sneaking in, navigate through the noble's kitchen and up the stairs to avoid additional guards. Stay crouched and use a pebble to distract the guard at the bottom of the staircase leading to Thomas' room. Once the guard moves, sneak up the stairs to reach Thomas, who is being cared for by his sister, Adele. Hand over the Fever Tonicum to Adele, triggering the quest's concluding cutscene.

Completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* before the 12 bells toll not only saves Hans but also boosts your reputation. Even if you're late, the quest's outcome remains the same, ensuring a satisfying conclusion to this intense chapter.
