"Crafting Fever Tonic in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide"

In the main quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Hans once again calls upon your skills, this time at Trosky Castle. Your mission involves using alchemy to save someone by brewing 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 at Trosky Castle. You have two options to access this location. The first is to sneak into the workshop. Alternatively, you can use your persuasive skills to gain entry. To do this, you need to complete the objectives of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by delivering the horseshoe. After that, return to the forge and speak with Cook Fanka. Offering to help her with her locked chest will lead you to the noble's kitchen. Upon entering, you'll see the chamberlain suffering from stomach pain. Engage him in conversation about his health and pass the skill checks to convince him that you can help by making a digestive potion. This will grant you access to the Surgeon’s Workshop. If you successfully craft and bring both the digestive potion and the Fever Tonic to the chamberlain, he'll allow you to meet Thomas.

If your skill checks fail, you'll need to resort to stealth. Steal some food, leave the kitchen, and head to the other side of the courtyard where you'll find another set of stairs leading to a door on your right. This door leads to another kitchen where a guard is stationed. Hand over the stolen food to the guard to get him to leave. From here, you can sneak upstairs to the Surgeon’s Workshop. Inside, 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

Brewing Fever Tonic is straightforward with the herbs already set up at the surgeon’s station. Follow these steps to craft 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 to the mixture.
6. Add 2 handfuls of Ginger.
7. Retrieve a phial from the bottom left shelf of the station, under the wine.
8. Distill the tonic using the Still.

If you don't succeed on your first attempt, don't worry. There are ample herbs available, and more can be found in the chest within the room. Given your previous experience with potion-making, crafting the Fever Tonic should be manageable.

Once you have brewed the Fever Tonic, you need to reach Thomas. If you've gained 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.
