FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS QUEST

[MiAh The King]

Does anyone else hate this quest?

I absolutely hate this quest.

Has anyone been able to finish it yet? It's so damn unforgiving I don't see how you did it. I could use some help.

I delivered the charcoal then spoke to the blacksmith.

I made the horseshoe and delivered it AND got a lockpick.

I unlocked the chest for the lady complaining near the smith so now i'm in the kitchen. But every time I talk to the sick guy I fail the persuasion attempt (both of them) and then I THINK I have to sneak to the alchemy room (which is also super hard to get to).

Now I need to do research, figure out which potion he needs, and brew it. But I can't brew it correctly apparently because they completely changed how the boiling works and I just can't get the potion right. Even if I have the right potion, and even if I get it right. Now I have to sneak all the way back down and give it to him....for what? what next? It's the farthest i've gotten and failed the alchemy. So...now...I'm just...ffs...I hate this quest. With no autosaves, no guides of which parts are forbidden or not, it's timed. It's stealth based. It's skill based. It's absolutely ridiculous. How TF am I supposed to progress if I can't get passed this fricken part.

If anyone else is suffering like me please comment. If anyone else also hates this quest please comment. This is some bs.

I just completed it

FIrstly, I activated developer mode and put in the cheat that allows me to save at any point (if you dont want to do this, "save and exit" works as a auto save essentially.

Once I got access to the kitchen, after some trial and error, I just brewed the potion (Henry mentioned I should have taken it off the fire earlier but it didnt seem to matter) then sprinted up to the Chapel.

There is that guard that stands at the foot of the stairs, on the way up to the chapel. You just need to juke him. I went to a corner of the room, he left the stairs, and I just sprinted around him and up to the chapel lol

Its probably not how they intended you to beat that particular part, but im quickly realizing there is a fair share of bugs and funky things that occur. Dont worry about the sneaking

okay wait but how did you make the potion? which one did you make as well? Also how to activate developer mode? I typically don't like doing this but ffs this quest is buggy and hard as hell

Yeah I dont like using cheats either, but ive already gotten screwed by some weird bugs (people leaving areas before they should and then they act like i abandoned them in conversation later) so the way I see it, its just a safety measure

Right click the game, go to properties, launch options, type "-devmode" . Once in game click ~ and then type "wh_sys_NoSavePotion = 1" if you want to change it back, just change the 1 to a 0

I read the book in the docs room, and it was the 2nd mention of a fevor potion, the one too help the scribe. I did it last night so this is from memory but I think it was

boil wine
add 3 (ehhh it started with an F)
add 2 ground ginger
add a leaf that starts with an E

I've followed every guide but the stealth sucks so badly they just detect you though walls. This is probably the worst quest in the game. Every dialogue choice ALWAYS fails so I just can't progress.

[Sprayyin]

Also the rock throwing just does not work at all.

[Sprayyin]

Like please just execute Hans and send me on my way I don't care about that dude whatsoever I was so glad when he left at the beginning of the game.

[Jack Greedy]

Dang im far before that quest but it sounds scary...

[solenoid]

Yeah the quest is broken bugged, now wait for people to simp for Vavra because you could have done it a different way if you had only known the future and had the option of saving when you need to.

[Piderman]

There is lots of stuff to do but you only need a fraction of it.
Work for the Smith,
go back and meet the Lady with the locked chest to get lockpick.
Go into the other kitchen and feed that hungry soldier with whatever you could steal somewhere so you can go upstairs.
Sneak into the apothecarys room, get the book, unlock the chest for ingredients and make the potion for Thomas.
Now sneak you way up on the other side to the tower where they brought him, hand over the potion and you´re done.

How am i supposed to sneak when I'm detected through walls and cant throw rocks to distract? Stealth literally doesn't work rendering the quest impossible. If I even go anywhere near the tower I'm immediately arrested or killed.

Do the blacksmith quest, do the scaffolding quest, do the kitchen quest. You actually dont even need to complete the kitchen quest, you just need access to the kitchen.

I barely had to do any sneaking, like I said above, just sprint everywhere lol

Once you have the fever potion (MIGHT have to sneak around to get there) you can just sprint up to the chapel.

Okay I figured it out but it's still kinda jank. Hope this helps people.

In order.
1. Take the bags of charcoal.
2. talk to the blacksmith (this unlocks allowing you into next section of castle) and do his quest.
3. After you take the item to the guy he wants you to deliver it to, this guy will sell lockpicks (just ask questions of him till it unlocks. Not the blacksmith, the guy he wanted you to take the item to). You can grab the repair kit behind the guy you drop off the item too and if you sell it and yoru shoes you can afford a lockpick.
4. Go to the woman complaining near the smithy and accept her quest. She takes you into the kitchen.
5. Unlock the chest for her and talk to the steward above.
6. (Try to convince him that you can help) but if you can't convince him, sneak into the nearby room and straight ahead from where you came in (a bit to the left) is a bag of apples. snatch em all and quickly get out cuz a maid comes in soon.
7. Go to the smithy. When looking at the smithy turn right and go up the stairs into the room. Bribe the guard with the apple and he'll turn his back on you.
8. Sneak upstairs all the way to the top and you'll find a door. Enter the door and then you'll see 2 more doors. Go in the one on the right and talk to the lady. Hopefully you can persuade her. But if not you're okay.
9. If you couldn't persuade her, unlock the nearby very easy chest and grab everythign.
10. brew a savior schaps and save your game.
11. on the bookshelf near the door is a diary, read it and then go to the alchemy table to make the right concoction. (The fever tonic)
12. Try to sneak to where the captain is being held, but if you get caught then just run with all your might and talk to the lady at his bedside (even if they chasing you).

A cutscene will begin and you've done it.

took me a dozen tries to figure this ♥♥♥♥ out. Hope it helps someone

Good job homie

[Primigenia]

it was very hard and a bit of a drag for me too since I dislike stealth, but in the end it's doable, it's just very long, it took me 5 attempts

[Doctor Nota Doktor]

It's why I'm not playing the game any longer. Maybe one day, after some updates, I might try again.
