Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The main quest “For Whom the Bell Tolls” takes place right after you complete “Wedding Crashers.” Now imprisoned in Trosky, Hans is scheduled to be executed after the bell tolls 12 times. Henry is fortunate enough to be removed from prison to work as a laborer around the castle as punishment instead, and he needs to use this small amount of freedom to save Hans.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed. This is a required objective, so you can’t skip it. Take a sack from the wagon and bring it to the shed next to the fenced area. Drop the sack in the shed, and repeat these steps until you complete the objective.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you’re tasked with helping the blacksmith. Although he’s not thrilled about it, he instructs you to make a horseshoe. Head through the archway across from the blacksmith to find the forge area. Gather the necessary materials from the forge and craft a horseshoe. Once done, return to the blacksmith for his approval, then head down the path you used for hauling sacks to find the stables and deliver the horseshoe.

Help Fanka the Cook

After delivering the horseshoe, it’s time to help Hans. Return to the forge and grab the lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Then, speak with the woman nearby. This is Fanka, the cook in the noble’s kitchen. Normally, you’re not allowed access there, but offering to help Fanka lifts this restriction.

Follow Fanka to the kitchen. You don’t need to lockpick it for her, but doing so increases your reputation, and she allows you to come for food whenever you need it. This perk might be useful for the upcoming steps.

Speak with the Chamberlain

When you enter the kitchen, you’ll see the chamberlain hunched over in pain. Speak with him and try to convince him to let you brew a Digestive Potion to help. If you succeed, he grants you access to the surgeon’s workshop. If not, you’ll need to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

If you didn’t convince the chamberlain, grab some food from the kitchen to sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, he’ll grant you access. Head to the stairs across from the forge and enter the kitchen used by non-nobles in the castle. You’ll find a guard here. If you’re sneaking in, give him the food from the kitchen to make him leave, then head upstairs without being caught.

Ascend several flights of stairs until you reach a hall with two doors. The door on the right leads to the surgeon’s workshop. Craft your Fever Tonicum here, and if you convinced the chamberlain, also make a Digestive Potion. The chest in the room contains enough ingredients for both crafts.

Cure Thomas

If you’re helping the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion. This convinces him to let you help Thomas, granting you access to his room. If you’re sneaking through, you have one more route to complete the quest.

Return to the noble’s kitchen and go up the stairs there. This path avoids more guards than going across the bridge between the workshop and kitchen. Stay crouched as you ascend. Most guards won’t be looking your way, but you’ll encounter a guard at the bottom of a staircase leading to Thomas’ room.

Distract the guard by throwing a pebble to move him from his post, then sneak up the stairs behind him. Continue until you reach the room where Thomas is in bed and his sister, Adele, is taking care of him. Give Adele the Fever Tonicum, and the cutscene that ends this quest will start.

That’s how to complete “For Whom the Bell Tolls” in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. If you help Thomas before the 12 bells toll, you gain reputation. Otherwise, the outcome remains the same.
