This guide details how to complete the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This main quest follows "Wedding Crashers," and involves rescuing Hans from execution in Trosky Castle.

Key Steps:

1. Hauling Sacks: Begin by transporting sacks from a wagon to a nearby shed. This is a mandatory task.

2. Assisting the Blacksmith: Next, assist 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 (or simply speak to her) to gain access to the noble's kitchen by assisting Fanka, the cook. This may improve your reputation and provide future food access.

4. Interacting with the Chamberlain: Speak with the ailing chamberlain in the kitchen. Persuading him to let you brew a Digestive Potion grants access to the surgeon's workshop; otherwise, stealth is required.

5. Crafting the Fever Tonicum: In the surgeon's workshop (accessed either through persuasion or stealth), craft a Fever Tonicum. If you persuaded the chamberlain, also craft a Digestive Potion.

6. Treating Thomas: Deliver the Digestive Potion (if applicable) to the chamberlain to gain access to Thomas's room. Alternatively, use stealth to reach Thomas's room via the kitchen's upper stairs, potentially distracting a guard with a pebble. Administer the Fever Tonicum to Thomas.

Completing these steps before the bell tolls twelve times rewards reputation. However, the quest's outcome remains the same regardless of timing.
