Finding Rosa's Book in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Crucial Side Quest

Missing side quests can lead to failure in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Rosa's Book is one such easily overlooked task. This guide details its location and importance.

Prerequisites: Complete the "Via Argentum" quest and begin "Taking French Leave." After assisting the Ruthard family with Vavak (through combat or diplomacy), speak with Rosa. She'll reveal a secret passage to Maleshov, crucial for rescuing Hans, and request a book from you. Inquire about the book to initiate the "Rosa's Book" quest. This quest is only accessible during "Taking French Leave." Failing to retrieve the book before leaving with Hans results in quest failure and prevents a potential romance with Rosa.

Locating the Book:

Upon entering Maleshov, Hans is located in the tallest tower. Use the external stairs to access the tower's interior. Inside, you'll find another staircase and a small kitchen. Wait for the guards patrolling upstairs to leave.

Stealthily ascend the stairs to a room occupied by Lady Ofka. Knock her unconscious, and collect the keys from her person, the podium, and the sword from the chest. Rosa's book is a red volume situated in a window alcove to the right of the fireplace. Take the book; your objective will update.

Additional Actions: While in this area, retrieve the sword from the chest in the adjacent room. This provides two weapons for Hans and his unexpected guest, saving time later. Unlock the door on the left of the top floor to trigger a cutscene.

Completing the Quest:

Follow the remaining steps of "Taking French Leave." Guide Hans to the stables, ensuring his safe passage. After the final cutscene, return to Kuttenberg City and deliver Rosa's book to her at Ruthard Palace. Choosing the heart dialogue option during this interaction, and previously in Trosky, can advance a romantic storyline with Hans.
