Kingdom Come Deliverance: In God’s Hands Side Quest Walkthrough

In God’s Hands is a Side Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance (KCD). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of In God’s Hands Side Quest, how to heal all the sick, how to brew Lullaby Sleeping Potion for the Insomniac, where to find Comfrey herb for Semek, where to find father Simon, and how to secure better conditions for the sick.

The goal of this side quest is to heal all the sick in the Sasau Monastery and improve their housing conditions. This side quest is needed to complete one of the optional tasks in the “Siege” Main Quest.

You will unlock In God’s Hands Side Quest by talking to nurse Johanka at the Monastery in Sasau. Multiple main quests lead you to her so odds are you trigger this by accident at some point.

Unlocking the Quest

The quest is unlocked by talking to Johanka at Sasau Monastery. See her location below:

Help with healing the sick in the monastery

This is the quest-wide objective, to complete it you must heal all 5 sick (Philip, Hans, Semek, Insomniac, Man with Broken Leg). To trigger their objectives you must talk to all of the sick in the Infirmary. Continue with the rest of the objectives and this will complete automatically at the end.

(Optional) Bring 10 game meat to the infirmary

Doing this task is not absolutely necessary for the completion of the quest but if you want, you can go hunt some wildlife in the woods and bring the meat to the infirmary or buy it from a tavern.

You can skip this objective, it’s not needed to finish the quest.

(Optional) Find out how to get better conditions for the sick

Go talk to Brother Nicodemus at the Alchemy Station (guy in black robe in the side room of the infirmary). Ask “Why are they so badly provided for”, “And the local Custodion?” to complete this objective.

[Philip] Find out what happened to Philip

Talk to Philip in the infirmary:

Now talk to Nicodemus and Johanka in the infirmary, they will tell you about Philip’s state of health and give a new objective to find Father Simon (dialogue “What happened to Philip?”).

Note: Johanka is only there during working hours at daytime.

[Philip] Find Father Simon

There will now be a waypoint marker pointing you to Rovna near Skalitz. If you already completed A Man of the Cloth Side Quest, you can find Simon in Rovna.

If you haven’t completed this side quest you must talk to the villager marked on the map and he will give you this quest. Now complete it. At the end, Simon will give you Artemisia Potion which you must give to Philip.

[Philip] Get Philip Artemisia Potion / Wait a while to see if the cure takes effect

After completing A Man of the Cloth bring the Artemisia Potion back to Philip in the infirmary. Then skip time for 1 day to complete this cumbersome objective.

[Villager] Help the man with the broken leg

Talk to the villager in the infirmary:

Now talk to Johanka (she’s only in the infirmary at day during working hours). Pick dialogue “What’s wrong with the man with the bandaged leg?”.

If you unlocked a high enough “First Aid” Perk in your main level skill tree, you get the option “I’ll straighten it out myself” (then interact with the man to complete the task). If not, you must pick “What about the Rattay Executioner”. Then go see the executioner in Rattay to learn from him how to fix broken legs (will be marked on the map).

Either option will let you complete this objective.

[Hans] Find bandages for Hans

Talk to Hans in the infirmary:

You need 10 bandages to heal him! 1 is on the barrel next to him, 2 are inside the barrel to his right. The remaining 7 can be bought from Nicodemus in the other room or if you have 10 in your inventory you won’t have to buy any. Once you have 10 bandages talk to Hans again.

If you unlocked a high enough “First Aid” Perk in your main level skill tree, you can patch him up yourself. If not, ask Nicodemus to do it. This completes the objective.

[Semek] Get healing herbs for Semek

Talk to Quarryman Semek in the infirmary:

He asks you to find a purple herb for him, the one you need is called Comfrey.

The fastest way is to buy it from Nicodemus (costs only 0.7 Groschen). Alternatively, it can be found in the Monastery gardens, see the Comfrey location in the screenshot below:

Bring the herb to Semek and move it from your inventory to his, this completes the objective.

[Insomniac] Find something to help the insomniac fall asleep

Talk to the insomniac in the infirmary:

Now go talk to Nicodemus (Alchemist) in the other room. Pick dialogue “A potion to induce heavy sleep?” and he’ll unlock the recipe for you. Now you must brew the Lullaby Potion at the Alchemy station right next to Nicodemus.

Lullaby Potion Ingredients

You can either buy these directly from Nicodemus or loot the sacks to the left of the alchemy station.

• 1 x Poppy (bought from Nicodemus)
• 1 x Herb Paris (bought from Nicodemus)
• 1 x Thistle (bought from Nicodemus)

How to Brew the Lullaby Potion

You can use the alchemy bench where you talked to Nicodemus.

Here is the full recipe as written in the Alchemy book and the steps you need to do:

Lullaby: Whoever cannot lull themselves or needs to make wounded livestock sleep, let tem brew this and they shall have peace. Do not drink it often, though, or it may dull your wits. For a crying child use only half the dose.

Prepare oil, a handfull of poppy, one of thistle and one of herb paris. Drop the poppy in the cauldron and boil for one turn. Add the thistle and boil for one more turn. Leave to cool and then add the herb paris.

1. Interact with Alchemy bench, look to your right and press  /  to read the book. Use  /  to turn to the page that says “Lullaby” recipe and hold  /  to place the ingredients (must have enough of each ingredient in the inventory).
2. Oil: Put oil (brown keg top left) in the cauldron.
3. Poppy: Put poppy (right shelf) directly in the cauldron (don’t use mortar)
4. Boil 1 Turn: Press  /  to use the Bellows exactly 3 times in a row for the right temperature. You’ll see bubbles in the cauldron when it’s “boiling”.
5. Sandglass: Press  /  to use sandglass (this lets you know when 1 turn is over).
6. Thistle: Put thistle (right shelf) directly in the cauldron (don’t use mortar)
7. Boil 1 Turn: Press  /  until you see bubbles in the cauldron. Don’t overdo it, once you see bubbles stop immediately.
8. Sandglass: Press  to use sandglass. After 1 turn the bubbles should go away. If it lasts 2 turns it’s still okay.
9. Cool: Wait for the cauldron to cool down until the flame goes out.
10. Herb Paris: Use the herb paris (right shelf), drop it directly in the cauldron (don’t use mortar).
11. Phial: Pick a phial (bottom left shelf) and use it on the cauldron to fill up the potion.

And that’s how you make the lullaby potion in “In God’s Hands” Side Quest! When done successfully it will say “You brewed Lullaby Potion”. If you did too many steps wrong you must try again or reload the last save until you get it right.

Now walk over to the Insomniac and hand him the potion to complete this objective.

Try to get Supplies from the Custodian

After curing the sick, Sebastian Vom Berg will enter the room. Pick this dialogue:

• (Speech-Persuasion) How about having the banquet here? –> He has speech level 12. Yours must be well above his to succeed (there are reports that 13 speech is not enough, personally I had 18 speech and it worked). An easy trick is to drink a Bard Potion which temporarily boosts your Speech by 5 Levels for 10 minutes. Bard Potion is bought from Bathhouses everywhere, e.g. the Bathhouse at Rattay Mill.

Skip time until the next day and talk to him again in the northern-most building of the Monastery (he’s marked as a main objective on the map). Pick these dialogues:

• Supplies
• (Speech-Persuasion) Maybe because of Johanka? –> Here he had only speech level 10 for me. Yours must be above 10 to succeed (personally I had 18 speech when it worked). An easy trick is to drink a Bard Potion which temporarily boosts your Speech by 5 Levels for 10 minutes. Bard Potion is bought from Bathhouses everywhere, e.g. the Bathhouse at Rattay Mill.

Now he will send food to the sick which completes the objective!

Tell Johanka you can’t do any more

After all other objectives are done you will get this objective. Talk to Johanka again and say “There’s nothing more I can do”.

This concludes In God’s Hands Side Quest!
