Fortuna is the 3rd main quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Fortuna main story quest.
Escape the Woods
The quest starts when Sir Hans is carrying you through the woods. Along the way you will see hallucinations and can tell Hans what you’re seeing. What you tell him doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect anything. After a few minutes you will reach a hut which is followed by a series of cutscenes. Afterward you wake up in the hut and a healer named Bozhena has nursed you back to health. However, you lost most of your skill points from the fall. You have no other choice but to gain them back gradually over the rest of the game.
Note: All skills are “learning by doing”, from repeating actions related to the skill category. For example, lockpicking and pickpocketing raises the Thievery skill. Winning dialogues increases Speech and so on. Skills can also be improved by paying skill teachers or reading skill books.
Hans took a beating from a bandit who attacked the healer’s hut, he’s sleeping and recovering from his wounds. Bozhena gives you several objectives: to stop your bleeding, clean yourself, and eat.

>“I know about herbs” > will fail (Reputation-)
If you will pick up all herbs from her garden, your lvl will be high enough to pass it
Ant says
I pit the chamomile and sage on the table and it says i only have 1 bag up there. No work around. I have enough sage and chamomile
Yamamato says
You can loot the dead body for a whole set of clothing. They are blood stained and I did the dialog with the robbers while wearing these. They didn’t notice. :D :D :D
Gary says
If you pick up the sword beside the dead body Hans won’t give you one. Instead, he says good job and you earn reputation.
