How to Craft Fever Tonic in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In the main quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Hans needs your assistance once more, this time at Trosky Castle. Your mission involves using alchemy to save someone by crafting Fever Tonic. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate the recipe and brew this essential potion.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Fever Tonic Recipe Location

The recipe for Fever Tonic can be found in the Surgeon’s Workshop within Trosky’s Castle. You have two options to access this workshop:

• Sneak In: If you prefer stealth, you can sneak into the workshop.
• Convince the Chamberlain: Alternatively, you can engage with the chamberlain, who is suffering from stomach issues. By convincing him that you can brew a digestive potion, he will grant you access to the workshop.

If you opt not to sneak, progress through "For Whom the Bell Tolls" 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 lead you to the noble’s kitchen. Upon entering, you'll notice the chamberlain in pain. Talk to him about his health and attempt the skill checks to convince him of your help, which will allow you entry into the Surgeon’s Workshop. Crafting a digestive potion alongside the fever tonic and giving it to the chamberlain will further your progress, allowing you to meet Thomas.

Should your skill checks fail, you'll need to resort to theft. Steal some food, exit the kitchen, and head to the opposite side of the courtyard. Ascend the stairs to the right, which lead to another kitchen. Bribe the guard with the stolen food to make him leave. Then, sneak upstairs to reach the Surgeon’s Workshop. Locate the physician's journal on the bookshelf, read it, and use the station in the room to brew your potions.

How to Brew Fever Tonic

The herbs required for the Fever Tonic are conveniently placed on the surgeon’s station. Follow these steps to brew the potion:

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

Don't worry if you don't succeed on your first attempt; there are ample herbs available, and you can find more in the chest in the room. Given your prior experience with potion-making, this should be manageable.

Once you have crafted the Fever Tonic, you need 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 and find Thomas and his sister, Adele. Converse with Adele to complete the quest.
