Main quests can be stressful, especially when you're sneaking around unfamiliar areas under a time limit. Here's a detailed walkthrough for completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, ensuring you save Hans before the clock runs out.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - For Whom the Bell Tolls Walkthrough

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

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed, which is a mandatory objective. Start by taking a sack from the wagon and transporting it to the shed next to the fenced area. Drop the sack inside and repeat the process until the objective is complete.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you're directed to assist the blacksmith, who reluctantly asks you to craft a horseshoe. Head to the forge area through the archway opposite the blacksmith. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Once approved by the blacksmith, proceed to the stables along the path you used for hauling sacks 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 Fanka, the cook standing nearby. By offering your help, you gain access to the noble's kitchen. Follow Fanka to the kitchen; while lockpicking isn't necessary, doing so boosts your reputation and grants you future access to food.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain in distress. 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 food from the kitchen to distract the guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, proceed directly to the workshop. Navigate to the stairs opposite the forge and enter the non-noble kitchen. If sneaking, use the food to distract the guard and head upstairs. In the surgeon's workshop, craft the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion using the ingredients in the chest.

Cure Thomas

If you're helping the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas's room. If sneaking, take an alternative route through the noble's kitchen, avoiding guards by staying crouched. Distract the guard at the bottom of the staircase leading to Thomas's room with a pebble, then sneak up to find Thomas and his sister, Adele. Hand over the Fever Tonicum to Adele, triggering the quest's 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 enhances your reputation, though the quest's outcome remains the same regardless.
