Main quests can indeed be stressful, especially when they involve navigating unfamiliar areas under a time constraint. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is one such quest that requires careful execution. Here’s a detailed walkthrough to help you successfully complete it.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough
Following the events of "Wedding Crashers," the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" begins with Henry and Hans imprisoned in Trosky. With Hans facing execution after the bell tolls 12 times, Henry is given a chance to work as a laborer around the castle. This opportunity is crucial for Henry to devise a plan to save Hans.
Hauling Sacks
Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed, which is a mandatory objective. Start by taking sacks from the wagon and transporting them to the shed next to the fenced area. Place the sacks inside the shed and repeat the process until the task is completed.
Help the Blacksmith
Next, assist the blacksmith who is reluctant but instructs you to forge a horseshoe. Locate the forge through the archway opposite the blacksmith's location. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Once approved, follow the path you used for hauling sacks to the stables and deliver the horseshoe there.
Help Fanka the Cook
After delivering the horseshoe, shift your focus to helping Hans. Return to the forge and retrieve a lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Engage with Fanka, the cook near the forge, who grants you access to the noble's kitchen when you offer your help. Accompany her to the kitchen, where lockpicking the door can boost your reputation and secure future access to food.
Speak with the Chamberlain
Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering. Speak with him and attempt to persuade him to allow you to create a Digestive Potion. Success grants you access to the surgeon's workshop; failure means 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 a guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly to the workshop. Navigate through the castle, up the stairs opposite the forge, to the kitchen used by non-nobles. If sneaking, use food to clear the guard and reach the surgeon's workshop upstairs. Craft the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion using the ingredients in the chest.
Cure Thomas
If aiding the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, head back to the noble's kitchen and ascend the stairs, avoiding guards. Use a pebble to distract the guard at the base of the stairs leading to Thomas' room. Sneak past him to reach Thomas and his sister, Adele. Give Adele the Fever Tonicum to trigger the quest's concluding cutscene.
Successfully completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* before the 12th bell tolls enhances your reputation, although the quest outcome remains consistent regardless of timing.
