Following the "Wedding Crashers" quest, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" begins with Henry imprisoned in Trosky. Scheduled for execution after the bell tolls 12 times, Hans's fate hinges on Henry's actions. Fortunately, Henry is assigned labor duties around the castle, providing a narrow window to save Hans.

To aid Hans, retrieve a lockpick from the red pot at the forge, and speak with Fanka, the cook. Offering your help grants you access to the noble's kitchen, where assisting Fanka can boost your reputation and secure future food access.
Speak with the Chamberlain

In the kitchen, you'll find the chamberlain in distress. Converse with him, attempting to persuade him to allow you to brew a Digestive Potion. Success grants access to the surgeon's workshop; failure requires stealth.

If you couldn't convince the chamberlain, use kitchen food to distract the guard near the non-noble's kitchen. Access the surgeon's workshop through the stairs across from the forge, and craft both the Fever Tonicum and, if permitted, the Digestive Potion using the ingredients in the room.
Cure Thomas

Return the Digestive Potion to the chamberlain if you've helped him, which will allow you to aid Thomas. For those sneaking, head to the noble's kitchen, ascend the stairs stealthily, and use a pebble to distract the guard at the staircase leading to Thomas's room. Once there, deliver the Fever Tonicum to Adele, Thomas's sister, triggering the quest's conclusion.
Successfully helping Thomas before the 12 bells toll enhances your reputation. Regardless of the timing, completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is a rewarding endeavor.
