This guide details how to complete the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This main quest, following "Wedding Crashers," involves saving Hans from execution in Trosky Castle.
Key Steps:
1. Hauling Sacks: Begin by transporting sacks from a wagon to a nearby shed. This is a mandatory task.
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. Use it (optional, but boosts reputation) to help Fanka, the cook, gaining access to the castle kitchen.
4. Interacting with the Chamberlain: Speak to the ailing chamberlain in the kitchen. Attempt to persuade him to allow you to brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants access to the surgeon's workshop; failure requires stealth.
5. Crafting the Fever Tonicum: In the surgeon's workshop (access gained through persuasion or stealth), craft a Fever Tonicum. If you persuaded the chamberlain, also create a Digestive Potion.
6. Treating Thomas: Give the Fever Tonicum to Thomas (access gained via the chamberlain or stealth). A cutscene will conclude the quest.
Successfully completing these steps before the bell tolls twelve times rewards you with reputation. However, a successful outcome is guaranteed regardless of timing.
