How to Make Fever Tonic in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In "For Whom the Bell Tolls," a key quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Hans once again requires your assistance, this time at Trosky Castle. Your primary task is to harness the art of alchemy to concoct a Fever Tonic, which is crucial for saving a life. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate the recipe and brew the Fever Tonic effectively.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Fever Tonic Recipe Location

The recipe for the Fever Tonic can be found in the Surgeon’s Workshop within Trosky Castle. There are two methods to gain access to this area. The first involves a stealthy approach where you sneak into the workshop. The second method requires you to engage in conversation with the chamberlain, convincing him that you can alleviate his stomach issues with a digestive potion. Successfully persuading him will grant you entry to the workshop.

If you prefer not to sneak, you can progress through the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest by delivering the horseshoe, then return to the forge and speak with Cook Fanka. Offer to help her with her locked chest, and she will guide you to the noble's kitchen. Upon entering, you'll see the chamberlain in distress due to stomach pain. Engage him in conversation about his health, and pass the necessary skill checks to earn access to the Surgeon’s Workshop. Crafting a digestive potion alongside the Fever Tonic and presenting it to the chamberlain will allow you to meet Thomas.

Should your skill checks fail, you'll need to resort to stealing some food, exit the kitchen, and head to the opposite side of the courtyard. Ascend the stairs to the right, leading to another kitchen where a guard is stationed. Offer him the stolen food, and he will leave, allowing you to sneak upstairs to the Surgeon’s Workshop. Inside, locate the physician's journal on the bookshelf, read it, and use the station to brew your potions.

How to Brew Fever Tonic

The herbs required for the Fever Tonic are conveniently arranged at the surgeon’s station. Open your book to the Fever Tonicum page and follow these steps:

• Pour wine into the cauldron.
• Add 3 handfuls of Feverfew.
• Lower the cauldron and boil for 2 turns of the sandglass.
• Grind a handful of Elderberry Leaves using the mortar and pestle.
• Add the ground Elderberry Leaves to the mixture.
• Add 2 handfuls of Ginger.
• Retrieve a phial from the bottom left shelf of the station, located under the wine.
• Distill the tonic using the Still.

Don't worry if you don't succeed on your first attempt; you have ample herbs at your disposal, and more can be found in the chest within the room. Given your prior experience with potion-making, crafting the Fever Tonic should be manageable.

Once you've successfully brewed the Fever Tonic, your next step is to reach Thomas. If you've earned the chamberlain's trust by providing him with a digestive potion, return to him with both potions. Otherwise, use the noble's kitchen to sneak up to the chapel where you'll find Thomas and his sister, Adele. Converse with Adele to complete the quest.
