    "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

    This is the sixth main quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, where you must save Sir Hans from execution within a strict time limit before the bell rings 12 times. The quest is open-ended, requiring stealth, problem-solving, and resourcefulness.

    Quest Overview

    • Objective: Save Sir Hans from execution.
    • Time Limit: Complete the mission before the 12th bell rings.
    • Starting Point: Henry and Hans begin in jail at Tachov Castle.

    Steps to Complete the Quest

    1. Escape Jail and Begin Tasks:
      • After a cutscene, Henry is released to perform manual labor while Hans remains imprisoned for poaching.
      • Speak with Guardian Kroupa outside and complete a task of hauling sacks of charcoal to gain access to new areas.
    2. Reach Sir Thomas:
      • Sir Thomas, who can confirm Hans' noble status and prevent his execution, is located at the highest point of the castle.
      • Enter through a door near the kitchen to avoid guards. Crouch and move stealthily to avoid detection.
      • Distract guards by throwing pebbles (R1/LB) or using alternative routes.
    3. Cure Sir Thomas:
      • Upon reaching Thomas, you'll find him ill. Speak with a woman tending to him, who will suggest finding ingredients for a Fever Tonic.
      • Collect Feverfew, Ginger, and Elderberry Leaves from various locations in the castle.
    4. Access Key Areas:
      • To progress, you’ll need lockpicks or Groschen (currency) to bribe guards or unlock doors.
      • Explore both towers (Alchemy Tower and Chapel Tower) for resources and clues.
    5. Final Steps:
      • Deliver the Fever Tonic to Sir Thomas to gain his help in proving Hans’ innocence.
      • Return to Hans before time runs out to stop his execution.

    Tips for Success

    • Stealth is critical; avoid unnecessary confrontations with guards.
    • Collect items like lockpicks early on for easier navigation through restricted areas.
