Quest “Hour of Reckoning” inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2is a story quest in the Mysteria Ecclesiae expansion. During the investigation of the fire, we find out that behind all the troubles is Zacharias, the second doctor who arrived at the monastery to fight the deadly disease. But his target will not be the sick, but documents with the medical history of the king, whose treatment Albicus was involved in, and the ancient relic of the knight Bavor (according to legend, it is located right on the territory of the monastery). This is what he will demand in exchange for an antidote to save the poisoned Albicus.

How to find King Wenceslas's doom sheet
The first thing you need to do is transfer the poisoned healer to the bed. When we do this, he will tell you where to look for papers with Vaclav’s medical history. The only phrase he can say is“Behind the scales.” This won't help Henry at all. We need to find out what Albicus was talking about.
We leave the room. We will meet Benedict in the infirmary. Ask him about the scales. The novice doctor knows nothing about this, but will put forward his own assumptions – a painting of the Archangel Michael, which depicts scales.
Then find out where Albicus went. Benedict will tell you that the doctor was mainly located within the walls of the infirmary. True, the last time he went tothe abbot’s chapel. The hint has been received – we are heading to the place.
Inside behind the altar we will find abook with notes.
Learn how to forge documents
Now we go to the library to see Crispin. You can ask him how to forge documents and where to look for Pan Bavor’s grave.
The librarian will immediately understand that we are talking about a relic. We answer – “Zachariash is convinced of this!”. Moreover, he is so confident in the ancient legend that he is ready to kill anyone who stands in his way.
Next in the dialogue you will need to select – lie or tell the truth. In any case, we will get help from him, but if you choose the second option, your reputation will decrease.
The search for the relic is described further in separate manual – “Seek and ye shall find”.
We turn to Crispin again, but this time we ask –“How to forge documents?”
He will ask why we need such information. A selection of replicas will follow – it’s good if you pass one of the checks. But you can also choose the option – “This concerns King Voclaw.” If you fail the check or select “This concerns King Sigismund,” the librarian will still help, but in this case the marker will not appear on the map.
Having received instructions, we go down to scriptorium. To the very secret room in which they learned about Yaroslav’s writings (the book of the Decameron). We remind you that the entrance is in the cellar near the spilled wine.
Before you sit down to work, read the notes about illnesses of the king and we can sit down at the table. Next, you need to correctly draw up a fake document.
After studying the records, it becomes clear that Albicus did not waste time on greetings. So, we choose – without greeting.
Then we select one of the options — “Headache and stomach pain”. Or pass the test (you need an upgraded skill) – “Something about the king’s health that everyone knows.”
If you chose the last option, then Henry will write about the cough. Then in the next choice we write about fresh air or rest.
Then “Infertility.”
At the end – “Healthy image life”or“Something in Latin.”
The fake document will be ready.
If you have already obtained the relic and received (as part of the cutscene) the go-ahead from the abbot, then we head to the next character.
Talk to Ludolf
Going to Ludolf is optional, but highly recommended. He is the head of the local guard, and ahead of us lies a difficult battle with the main antagonist of this DLC.
Ludolf sits in his tent near the monastery and during the conversation he will promise to provide guards if something goes wrong. Henry is concerned about the armor. We don't have any protection, and now it won't hurt.
The chief of the guard will not refuse and will send us to the next tent for armor.
Now you can go to a meeting with Zacharias.
Meet Zacharias
We arrive at the church, where the entrance to the crypt is located. Here we are waiting for Zacharias. After a while, he will appear at the meeting surrounded by armed mercenaries (who would doubt it). We give him the relic and a fake document with Vaclav's medical history.
The villain will be pleased, but will not rush to give up the antidote. At this moment the abbot will appear with the monastery guards. They will start fighting the mercenaries, and Zachariash will run away. We can't let him escape.
We run after him and go down to crypto. Then we just move along the corridors. You can't get lost here; the wrong paths will end in dead ends or be littered with things. We simply run along the corridors, killing any mercenaries along the way, until we reach Zachariashu.
Under the cover of darkness, we enter into battle with the antagonist. The battle is going to be tough. After winning, you will have the opportunity to talk with him and find out the intentions of his actions. The doctor tried to curry favor with King Sigismund by curing his infertility. To do this, he tried to get the records of Albicus, who also treated the infertility of King Wenceslas. If you give him some painkillers, you can learn a little more information.
As a result, Zachariash will die anyway, and Henry will get the antidote and bring it to Albicus. In a few days, our doctor will fully come to his senses and will be able to get all the patients in the monastery back on their feet. The crypt, as a source of infection, will be walled up, the relic of Pan Bavor will return to its place, and the secret records of Vaclav’s treatment will return to its rightful owner. The monastery will be ready to welcome people again.
You will only have to talk to the abbot and Albicus, after which you can leave the monastery. This will complete the quest and DLC Mysteria Ecclesiae. In the future, if you wish, you can return to these regions.
