Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" begins immediately after "Wedding Crashers," with Hans imprisoned in Trosky, facing execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is assigned to labor around the castle as a lighter punishment, providing him with the chance to orchestrate Hans' rescue.

Hauling Sacks

Help the Blacksmith

Screenshot by The Escapist Your next task is to assist the blacksmith. Though he's reluctant, he instructs you to craft a horseshoe. Head to the forge, accessible via the archway opposite the blacksmith, gather the necessary materials, and create the horseshoe. Return it to the blacksmith for approval, then proceed to the stables along the path you used for hauling sacks to deliver it.

Help Fanka the Cook

Then, engage with the nearby woman, Fanka, who works as a cook in the noble's kitchen. By offering your help, you gain access to this restricted area.

Follow Fanka to the kitchen. While you don't have to lockpick for her, doing so enhances your reputation and grants you the privilege to fetch food anytime, which could prove useful in the subsequent steps.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Screenshot by The Escapist Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering. Converse with him and attempt to persuade him to allow you to prepare a Digestive Potion. Success here grants you entry to the surgeon's workshop; otherwise, you'll need to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

Screenshot by The Escapist If you failed to convince the chamberlain, take food from the kitchen to distract the guard in the non-noble kitchen, allowing you to sneak into the workshop. If granted access, ascend the stairs opposite the forge to enter this kitchen. Once inside the surgeon's workshop, located to the right of the hall at the top of the stairs, you can craft the Fever Tonicum and, if necessary, the Digestive Potion using the ingredients found in the chest.

Cure Thomas

Screenshot by The Escapist If assisting the chamberlain, deliver the Digestive Potion to him to gain entry to Thomas' room. For those sneaking, an alternate route awaits. From the noble's kitchen, cautiously ascend the stairs, avoiding guards. Near the top, use a pebble to distract a guard and sneak past him to reach Thomas' room, where Adele tends to her sick brother. Hand over the Fever Tonicum to Adele, triggering the quest's concluding cutscene.

That's how to navigate and complete "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Acting swiftly to help Thomas before the 12 bells toll boosts your reputation, but the quest's outcome remains consistent regardless.
