Here's a comprehensive guide on how to navigate through the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," which becomes available right after completing "Wedding Crashers."

Hauling Sacks

Your first task is to haul sacks to a shed, which is a mandatory step in this quest. Locate the wagon, pick up a sack, and transport it to the shed near the fenced area. Drop the sack inside the shed and repeat the process until the objective is fulfilled.

Help the Blacksmith

Next, you need to assist the blacksmith, who reluctantly assigns you the task of crafting a horseshoe. Head through the archway opposite the blacksmith to reach the forge area. Gather the necessary materials and craft the horseshoe. Once approved by the blacksmith, take the horseshoe to the stables along the path where you hauled the sacks.

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. Engage in conversation with Fanka, the cook standing nearby. By offering your help, you gain access to the noble's kitchen. Follow Fanka to the kitchen, where assisting her can boost your reputation and grant you future access to food.

Speak with the Chamberlain

Upon entering the kitchen, you'll notice the chamberlain suffering from discomfort. Speak to him and attempt to persuade him to allow you to brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants you access to the surgeon's workshop, while failure means you'll need to sneak in.

Make Fever Tonicum

If you couldn't convince the chamberlain, you'll need to use food from the kitchen to distract a guard and sneak into the workshop. Otherwise, he'll grant you access directly. Navigate through the castle to the non-noble kitchen, where you'll encounter a guard. Use the food to make him leave, then proceed upstairs to the surgeon's workshop. Here, craft both the Fever Tonicum and, if applicable, the Digestive Potion using the ingredients provided in the room's chest.

Cure Thomas

If you're assisting the chamberlain, return to him with the Digestive Potion to gain access to Thomas's room. For those sneaking in, continue your covert journey. Head back to the noble's kitchen and ascend the stairs to avoid additional guards. Stay crouched and use a pebble to distract the guard at the bottom of the staircase leading to Thomas's room. Sneak past him and up the stairs to find Thomas and his sister, Adele. Give Adele the Fever Tonicum, triggering the cutscene that concludes this quest.

That's how to successfully complete "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. By aiding Thomas before the bell tolls 12 times, you'll enhance your reputation, though the quest's outcome remains unchanged regardless.
