In "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2," Hans's main quest, "For Whom the Bell Tolls," requires crafting a Fever Tonic to help someone at Trosky Castle. Here's how to obtain the recipe and brew the tonic:

Acquiring the Fever Tonic Recipe:

There are two methods to access the Surgeon's Workshop in Trosky Castle, where the recipe resides:

  1. Stealth: Sneak into the workshop.

  2. Diplomacy: Persuade the chamberlain you can create a digestive potion for his stomach ailment. Success grants access to the workshop. Failing this requires stealing food, bribing a guard with the stolen food to gain access to the kitchen, and then sneaking upstairs to the workshop.

If you choose the diplomatic route and fail the skill checks, you'll need to resort to stealth after bribing a guard with stolen food. This involves accessing the noble's kitchen via a different set of stairs and then sneaking to the Surgeon's Workshop.

Don't worry about failures; there are ample herbs available. After brewing the tonic, locate Thomas. If you gained the chamberlain's trust, return with both the Fever Tonic and the digestive potion. Otherwise, use the kitchen to discreetly reach the chapel and find Thomas and his sister, Adele, to complete the quest.
