Main quests can often be nerve-wracking, especially when they involve sneaking through unfamiliar territories under time constraints. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is one such challenging quest. Here's a comprehensive walkthrough to help you navigate through it smoothly.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" follows immediately after "Wedding Crashers." You find yourself imprisoned in Trosky with Hans, who faces execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is assigned to work as a laborer around the castle, providing a narrow window to save Hans.

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed. This is a mandatory objective. Grab a sack from the wagon and carry it to the shed beside the fenced area. Drop it inside and repeat the process until you've completed the task.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you're instructed to assist the blacksmith, who reluctantly asks you to forge a horseshoe. Head to the archway opposite the blacksmith to enter the forge area. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. After receiving the blacksmith's approval, proceed along the path used for hauling sacks to the stables and deliver the horseshoe.

Help Fanka the Cook

After delivering the horseshoe, it's time to aid Hans. Return to the forge and retrieve a lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Then, engage with the nearby woman, Fanka, who works as a cook in the noble's kitchen. Offering your assistance grants you access to this restricted area.

Follow Fanka to the kitchen. While helping her with lockpicking isn't mandatory, doing so boosts your reputation and allows you to freely access food supplies, which can be beneficial for the upcoming steps.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering. Engage with him and attempt to persuade him to let you 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, gather some food from the kitchen to distract the guard near the non-noble's kitchen. If you have access, head to the stairs opposite the forge and enter the kitchen. You'll encounter a guard; use the food to make him leave, allowing you to ascend unnoticed.

Continue up the stairs to a hallway with two doors. Enter the surgeon's workshop on the right and craft the Fever Tonicum. If you convinced the chamberlain, also make a Digestive Potion using the ingredients found in the chest.

Cure Thomas

If you're aiding the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion, which will grant you access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, you'll need to find an alternate route to complete the quest.

Head back to the noble's kitchen and ascend the stairs there to avoid additional guards. Stay crouched as you move, and be prepared to throw a pebble to distract the guard at the bottom of the staircase leading to Thomas' room. Once the guard moves, sneak up the stairs to reach Thomas, who is bedridden and cared for by his sister, Adele. Hand over the Fever Tonicum to Adele to trigger the concluding cutscene.

That's how to successfully complete "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Helping Thomas before the 12 bells toll will enhance your reputation, though the outcome remains the same regardless.
