Bad Reputation in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Find Something with Fleas

Bad reputation in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — a secondary quest that continues the story of the bathhouse owner Beta from Kutna Hora. Soon the council will vote, and officials will choose a new city bathhouse. Competitor Adam has already made connections and bribed several judges, so you will have to play the same unfair game with him.

Find a way to influence the votes of two advisers: Yeronim Naz and Master Tukhmacher, so that they give preference to the bathhouse "At the Kingfisher". In the guide, we will show where to find fleas in the quest Bad reputation KCD 2, and help Beta's establishment become a city bathhouse.

How to start the Bad Reputation quest in KCD 2

Complete the previous task "A Noble Wash" and wait a few in-game days. You can either do other missions or fast forward time by waiting or sleeping a few times. Return to Beta, waiting at the Kingfisher Bathhouse in the main city, and ask "How are things at the bathhouse?" to continue the chain.

Walkthrough of the quest Bad Reputation in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To help Beta win the fight for the title of the city bathhouse, Henry must cunningly influence two advisers. The hero will have to plant fleas, steal expensive oil, spoil Naz's wine with chamomile infusion, and fight for Tukhmacher in an unfair duel.

Ask the soapmakers about Advisor Naze

Put on your best clothes, wash up and restore energy to increase your charm and eloquence points before meeting the ladies. Go to Adam's Baths in the southwest of the city and try to gather as much information as possible about one of the council .

Bathhouse Mistress Beata will tell you who to first. You can also complete other optional quest objectives by asking all the barbers:

• Lousy Maria;
• Little Lida;
• Meaty Manka;
• Duckling.

Ask Maria about Advisor Naz

At the end, go to Lousy Maria - she won't actually have any information, but you can drink the drink she offers and visit the bathhouse for free.

Find a dress for Little Lida

Little Lida will ask you to bring her a beautiful dress in exchange for information. You can go up one floor and steal a lady's cotardie from the chest of drawers, making sure that no one is nearby. If you don't want to steal, buy a suitable outfit from any tailor in the city.

Return and hand the girl the find, then Lida will tell you about some expensive oil that is kept in Adam's office like the apple of his eye and is given only to the advisor.

Talk to Meaty Manka and Duckling

We also recommend talking to Meaty Manka, the girl will hint that she can also reveal some secret of Yeronim. You can choose one of the suggested lines:

• That is, you don't know, - a very difficult test of eloquence.
• You can tell me, - a difficult test of charm.
• We can come to an agreement, - If you can't come to an agreement, haggle and pay the soap lady a few pennies.

Henry learns that the advisor is allergic to chamomile tea, and that he keeps a personal barrel of wine in the bathhouse, from which no one else drinks.

Another bathhouse attendant, Kachka, will share interesting information if you manage to persuade her to your side, put pressure on her, or bribe her:

• I was sent by Advisor Naz himself, - a difficult test of charm.
• Don't make me angry! - a complex test of intimidation.
• And for a few pennies will you tell me? - just pay money.

Yeronim had previously asked to change the font because fleas had appeared in it. The advisor is too squeamish and cannot stand dirty insects.

Help Beta's establishment become the city's bathhouse

To lure Yeronim to the Kingfisher Bathhouse, it is enough to complete 1 of the 3 proposed additional goals, but you can do all of them:

• add fleas;
• steal butter;
• poison the wine.

You can complete all the tasks during the day, but there will be a lot of people and potential witnesses in the bathhouse, which will make the task more difficult. If you come to the bathhouse at night, the door to the establishment will be locked with a very complex lock, which cannot be opened without the proper level of pumping. Prepare everything you need in advance - find fleas and chamomile infusion, so as not to return to the bathhouse several times.

You can steal the bathhouse keys from Adam's pockets to avoid picking a very complex lock at night. Or use the "Cat's Paws" potion.

Find something with fleas

Use the fast travel marker to the Kutná Hora Town Hall in the east of the city and visit the Beggars' Quarter. You can do a good deed: pay any beggar a few groschen and find out where to get something with fleas. Or don't waste money, go straight to the corner to the bag and pick it up flea-bitten blanket.

Return to the bathhouse to discreetly release the fleas into the basket of clean linen. To do this, go up to the second floor of the establishment and look into the open room on the right, where the baths for special guests are located.

Go to the far left bucket - there will be a chest and a basket next to it, where you need to pour the fleas. Make sure there are no soap-makers nearby, otherwise Henry's plan may fail. You can throw in the insects even during the day, if the room is free.

Pour the chamomile infusion into the advisor's wine barrel

For an allergic reaction, a potion of any quality lying around in your inventory will do. You can visit the apothecary in the city center and buy a potion, or use the alchemy table and make chamomile infusion, mixing the flower with wine and sage.

Wait 2-3 am, when all the visitors have left and the workers have gone to bed. You can try your luck during the day, but then Indro may be noticed and kicked out of the bathhouse, with his reputation points taken away. Enter the bathhouse, go up to the second floor and pick the light lock on the door on the left.

Turn into the first room on the right, also closed with a light lock, and pour the potion into the standing barrel.

Steal the Advisor's Scented Bath Oil

The target will not require any preliminary preparation. When you poison the wine, return to the previous room and go up to the third floor. Enter Adam's bedroom opposite, where the owner will be sleeping with his wife. You can steal the keys from the sleeping man, if you haven't done it before, and make the search easier.

From the bedroom you can get to Adam's office - inside you will find a small cabinet in which the desired foreign aromatic oil is stored. Take the bottle and carefully leave the private territory to wait until morning.

Back to Beta

Tell the owner of the Kingfisher how everything went, and take on the next task - convince Tukhmacher to take Beta's side, with whom he has some disagreements.

Enlist the of Advisor Tukhmacher

Go to the Kutná Hora town hall and look for the tailor - in the morning he wakes up and washes in the backyard, during the day he works in his shop. At the request of the bathhouse owner, do not mention her name in conversation and say that monetary interest. The master will agree to help if you fight for him in a duel with the nobleman. You can ask additional questions and prepare for the duel.

Henry must equip a cleaver, mace, flail or axe, and remove his armor. Breastplate, elbow and knee armor are not allowed, but helmet and gauntlets can be left to slightly increase armor rating. When you are ready, inform the master and quickly move to the duel location outside the city walls.

Before the battle, drink the necessary potions that increase the hero's skills and strength, such as pain-relieving decoction, living water, artemisia, and bull's blood. You can also resort to trickery and lubricate your combat weapon with any poison, such as Pupation or Bane, to increase your chances of success.

Win a fight on behalf of Tukhmacher

Before the battle begins, you can try to a very difficult speech test. "Are you going to fight me in armor?" and make the nobleman take off his armor, but this requires over 25 persuasion points. It's better to ask for an extra minute and do backup save, so that in case of loss you can take part in the duel again.

You will have to fight anyway. Jan of Leshtina fights with a long sword, but he is not a very strong opponent. Usually the swordsman blocks only one attack and counterattacks, then you can hit him on the head. After several blows, the nobleman should surrender - talk to Tuchmacher to enlist his .

Wait for the council meeting

To complete the quest, you need to return to Beta and tell her about the negotiations with the master. The girl will thank you for your help and give you additional reputation points if you defeated Yan in a duel. Wait. 3-4 game days, until a new quest marker appears on the map - meet with the owner of "At the Kingfisher" and find out the results of the vote.

If Indro successfully completed the quest objectives, the bathhouse will receive the title of city, and the hero will be able to use the services of the soapmakers at the Kingfisher for free in the future.

Alternative way to

You can skip all the stages and help Beta get the status of a city bathhouse right after receiving the task by paying the adviser a tidy sum. During the day, go to the competitors' establishment and go to the neighboring house, the entrance to which is guarded by Steel Stanislav, inside you will find Ondřej Polner.

Talk to the appraiser and hint that you want to make the Kingfisher Baths a city bath and are ready to give a bribe. You can pay Ondřej 5000 groszy, then he will bribe other advisers and help Beta. This is the shortest, but not the most profitable option.
