Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

Following the "Wedding Crashers" quest, you find yourself imprisoned in Trosky, with Hans facing execution after the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is assigned to labor around the castle, providing a narrow window to devise a rescue plan.

Hauling Sacks

Begin by hauling sacks to a nearby shed. This task is mandatory, so grab a sack from the wagon and transport it to the shed beside the fenced area. Drop it inside and repeat until you've met the objective.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, assist the blacksmith, who reluctantly assigns you to craft a horseshoe. Enter the forge area through the archway opposite the blacksmith. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Upon approval, take it to the stables along the path you used for hauling sacks.

Help Fanka the Cook

After delivering the horseshoe, return to the forge to obtain a lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Engage with Fanka, the cook, near the forge. Offering your help grants you access to the noble's kitchen. Follow her there; while you don't need to lockpick for her, doing so boosts your reputation and ensures future food access.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Inside the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain in discomfort. 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, grab some kitchen food to distract a guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, head directly to the workshop via the stairs opposite the forge. Navigate through the non-noble kitchen, potentially using the food to distract the guard, and proceed upstairs to the surgeon's workshop. Craft the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion using the available ingredients in the room's chest.

Cure Thomas

If aiding the chamberlain, return with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. For those sneaking, use an alternative route from the noble's kitchen, avoiding guards by staying crouched. Distract a guard with a pebble to access the stairs leading to Thomas' room. Deliver the Fever Tonicum to Adele, Thomas' sister, 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. Regardless of the method, the outcome remains the same, ensuring a successful quest completion.
