Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

The quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" kicks off immediately after completing "Wedding Crashers." You find yourself imprisoned in Trosky, with Hans facing execution once the bell tolls 12 times. Fortunately, Henry is released to work as a laborer around the castle, providing him with a slim chance to save Hans.

Hauling Sacks

Screenshot by The Escapist Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed, a mandatory objective. Pick up a sack from the wagon and carry it to the shed adjacent to the fenced area. Drop it off and repeat until the task is complete.

Help the Blacksmith

Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Once approved by the blacksmith, deliver it to the stables down the path where you hauled the sacks.

Help Fanka the Cook

Screenshot by The Escapist After the horseshoe delivery, focus on helping Hans. Return to the forge and grab a lockpick from the red pot on the shelves. Then, speak with Fanka, the cook standing nearby. Offer to help her, which grants you access to the noble's kitchen. Follow Fanka to the kitchen; optionally, lockpick it to boost your reputation and gain ongoing food access.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Screenshot by The Escapist Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain in distress. Engage with him and attempt to persuade him to let you brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants access to the surgeon's workshop; failure requires you to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

Screenshot by The Escapist If you couldn't convince the chamberlain, grab some food from the kitchen to distract the guard at the non-noble kitchen, allowing you to sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, head directly to the surgeon's workshop up the stairs across from the forge. Here, craft the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion, using the ingredients from the chest.

Cure Thomas

Screenshot by The Escapist If assisting the chamberlain, return with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas' room. If sneaking, take the alternate route through the noble's kitchen, avoiding guards by staying crouched and using a pebble to distract the guard at the staircase to Thomas' room. Once there, give the Fever Tonicum to Adele, Thomas' sister, triggering the quest-ending cutscene.

That’s how to successfully complete "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Helping Thomas before the 12 bells toll increases your reputation, though the quest outcome remains consistent regardless.
