One side quest, "A Good Scrub," in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* unlocks a series of bathhouse-related quests, culminating in a search for a flea-infested item. Here's how to find something infested with fleas for Betty.
Pick Up ‘A Good Scrub’
Initiate this quest by speaking with the innkeeper in Kuttenberg about work opportunities. This will lead you to Betty, the bathhouse owner in the city's southeast. After agreeing to help her find Matsek in Grund, navigate to the courtyard where he's hiding. Speak with the three girls, mention Betty's request, and escort them back to Kuttenberg.
Promote the Bathhouse
To further assist Betty, you'll need to promote the bathhouse. This involves crafting a sales pitch with her and then shouting it out in the grain market, horse market, vintners' street, and merchants' street. Remember, this task must be completed during the day.
Clean Up and Finish ‘A Good Scrub’
Before the alderman's inspection, clean the bathhouse. Failure to do so promptly will result in its closure, preventing you from progressing to the next quest, "Ill Repute."
Finding Fleas for ‘Ill Repute’
After a successful inspection, speak with Betty again. She'll reveal the council's decision-making process regarding the city's main bathhouse. Your goal is to convince the councillor to abandon the competing bathhouse. This involves speaking with Meaty Mary, Katcha, and Little Lida to discover the councillor's dislikes.
You'll need chamomile brew for the wine cask on the second floor of the competing bathhouse. Lida will only reveal the councillor's preference for fragrant oils after receiving a noblewoman's dress (obtainable from a tailor). Alternatively, you can steal the oils from a cabinet on the third floor using lockpicking.
Katcha mentions the bathhouse's past flea infestation. To obtain the flea-infested item, head to Kuttenberg's east gate. There, you'll find a beggar camp; search their sacks for a flea-infested blanket.
Return to the bathhouse, discreetly place the fleas in Councillor Naaz's laundry basket and the clean laundry basket. Note that successfully completing one of the three tasks (the brew, the oils, or the fleas) is sufficient to drive the councillor away. Once this is done, you can complete "Ill Repute" and proceed to other quests, such as "Axe from the Lake."
