Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Thou art but dust Walkthrough

In the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, gamers will encounter many exciting quests, and one of them will lead you into the dark dungeons of the Sedlec Monastery. There you will meet a blind clergyman who will assign you an unusual task. In this guide, we will tell you how to start and complete the quest "Thou art but dust…".

Head to the Sedlec Monastery in Kuttenberg and find Brother Morticius. This blind clergyman, who speaks in rhymes, will introduce himself as the chapel's caretaker.

He will assign you an unusual task: to collect scattered bones in the chapel and crypt, sorting them into three separate piles — whole skulls, broken skulls, and femur bones. Additionally, Brother Morticius will ask you to clear the premises of all other bones that do not belong to these categories. The quest will start as soon as you agree to help him.

Descend into the chapel's basement, taking a torch with you — you can't do without light in this gloomy place. In the hall, you will see scattered bones. It doesn't matter where you start, just collect all the bones that catch your eye.

There will be about four piles of bones around that need to be removed. They are scattered in a chaotic order, and your task is to dispose of them.

Pay special attention to the piles from which you will later need to sort the bones. Among them, you will clearly see large skulls and femur bones. These piles stand out slightly against the background of the others and are scattered throughout the crypt: on the floor, on shelves, and in the crypt next to the coffins.

Don't miss the useful book "Feast of the Dead." It lies under one of the wooden ladders, in the hands of a skeleton.

When you are sure you have collected all the bones on this floor and removed all the excess, find the wooden hatch in the floor. Interact with it to fall into the crypt. There, also collect all the bones you come across.

After finishing your tasks in the crypt, ascend to the surface. You will know you are moving in the right direction when you find yourself in a long corridor lined with wooden planks. Walking through it, you will return to the monastery cemetery grounds.

Now it's time to return to the chapel crypt to start building the pyramid from the bones you collected earlier.

Stack 32 whole skulls into a pyramid.

Stack 32 broken skulls into a pyramid.

Stack 272 femur bones into a pyramid.

Exit the crypt and head to the place where you previously met the blind chapel caretaker. There you will see the gravedigger. Ask him about Brother Morticius. Lenek will be surprised by your question and will ask if you've lost your mind, as Morticius, who was indeed once the keeper of the ossuary, died many years ago.

Tell him that you arranged the bones into pyramids — Lenek will want to see for himself. Descending into the crypt with him, he will inspect the work and praise the hero, noting that he will now bring people here to show them this "miracle." However, you will not receive a reward from him — Lenek will simply say that good work is a reward in itself, but your crafting skill will increase. This will conclude the quest.

After completing this unusual mission, you will not only gain new experience but also leave behind an impressive "miracle" that will delight the monastery's visitors. Despite the lack of a material reward, your efforts will not be in vain, as your crafting skills will noticeably improve.
