This guide details how to complete the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This main quest follows "Wedding Crashers," finding you tasked with saving Hans from execution before the twelfth bell tolls.
Key Steps:
1. Hauling Sacks: Begin by transporting sacks from a wagon to a nearby shed. This is a mandatory task; repeat until complete.
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 recommended) to gain access to the cook's kitchen, assisting Fanka. This improves your reputation and potentially provides future food access.
4. Interacting with the Chamberlain: Speak with the ailing chamberlain. Persuasion may grant you access to the surgeon's workshop; otherwise, stealth is required.
5. Crafting the Fever Tonicum: If stealth is necessary, acquire food from the kitchen to distract a guard. Access the surgeon's workshop (either through persuasion or stealth) and craft the Fever Tonicum (and a Digestive Potion if you persuaded the chamberlain).
6. Treating Thomas: Deliver the Digestive Potion to the chamberlain (if applicable) or proceed stealthily to Thomas's room. Give Thomas's sister, Adele, the Fever Tonicum to initiate the quest's conclusion.
Successfully completing these steps before the twelfth bell tolls earns you reputation points, although the quest outcome remains the same regardless of timing.
