Maddening Pain quest guide – Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
As you spend a lot of time around the infirmary during the *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* Mysteria Ecclesia DLC, you are bound to run into Maddie. The poor girl is desperately seeking help from the learned monks, but few of them have time to assist her. As such, it’s up to you to lend a hand.
### Maddening Pain Quest Guide – Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
One important thing to note about this quest is that you must complete it before the end of the *Anamnesis* DLC quest. If you wait until afterward, you won’t be able to finish this side quest.
#### Starting the Quest
After speaking to Maddie outside the infirmary, you’ll learn that she is suffering from terrible stomach pain. Unfortunately, most people don’t take her seriously, and she pleads for your help.
Your first step is to enter the infirmary and talk to Novice Benedict. Run through his dialogue options, then ask him if he can help Maddie. Initially, he will refuse, but eventually, he offers a simple potion that he thinks might help her.
**Important:** Do **not** give Maddie this potion! Doing so will cause you to fail the quest.
#### Getting the Right Help
Instead, head to the back left of the infirmary where you will find Albich. Talk to him and ask for his assistance. After your conversation, Albich will provide you with a recipe for an anti-inflammatory potion.
#### Ingredients Needed:
– Water (1)
– Nettle (2)
– Valerian (1)
– Ginger (1)
You can find nettle and valerian just outside the infirmary in the courtyard. Ginger is located inside the cabinet in the alchemy room at the rear of the infirmary.
#### Crafting the Anti-Inflammatory Potion
To make the potion, follow these steps at the alchemy bench:
1. Open the alchemy book and prepare your ingredients by holding **E**.
2. Add water to the cauldron from the jars.
3. Place nettle in the mortar and grind it with the pestle.
4. Add the ground nettle to the cauldron.
5. Lower the cauldron for one turn of the timer, then raise it.
6. Add two handfuls of valerian directly to the cauldron.
7. Lower the cauldron for two turns of the timer.
8. Put ginger into the mortar, grind it, and then add it to the cauldron.
9. Take a phial from the left side of the bench and interact with the cauldron to fill it with the potion.
#### Quest Completion
Once the potion is ready, go to the building at the northern edge of the monastery and give it to Maddie. That’s it!
You won’t receive a reward for this quest, but it’s a meaningful way to help someone in genuine need.
