How to Make Fever Tonic in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Hans's quest, "For Whom the Bell Tolls," requires crafting a Fever Tonic to aid Thomas. This guide details how to obtain the recipe and brew the tonic.

Acquiring the Recipe:

The Fever Tonic recipe resides within the Surgeon's Workshop in Trosky Castle. Access can be gained through stealth or diplomacy. Sneaking into the workshop is one option. Alternatively, convince the chamberlain you can create a digestive potion for his stomach ailment. This requires successful skill checks. Failing the skill checks necessitates stealing food, bribing a guard with the stolen food to gain access to the kitchen, and then sneaking to the workshop.

If you've progressed "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by delivering the horseshoe, speak with Cook Fanka. Assisting her with a locked chest grants access to the noble's kitchen and the ailing chamberlain. Successfully persuading him to allow access to the workshop will lead you to Thomas.

Brewing the Fever Tonic:

The necessary herbs are already present at the surgeon's station. Follow these steps:

1. Pour wine into the cauldron.
2. Add 3 handfuls of Feverfew.
3. Lower the heat and boil for 2 turns of the sandglass.
4. Grind a handful of Elderberry Leaves.
5. Add the ground Elderberry Leaves.
6. Add 2 handfuls of Ginger.
7. Obtain a phial from the bottom-left shelf.
8. Distill the tonic using the Still.

Additional herbs are available in the room's chest if needed.

Completing the Quest:

After brewing the Fever Tonic, deliver it to Thomas. If you gained the chamberlain's trust by crafting a digestive potion, return with both potions. Otherwise, use the kitchen to sneak to the chapel and find Thomas and Adele. Speak with Adele to conclude the quest.
