Brewing the potion is the hard part, so here's the process:

The potion itself is simple, requiring just one Valerian, one Charcoal, and two Thistle.

After that, be sure to choose the "I can help" option to have the hero brew the cure himself otherwise, the achievement will be locked and villagers may die. Pick up the book on the left side and read it a few times, then speak to Nicodemus again to have the player diagnose the villagers as being poisoned from water. The next objective is to find the proper diagnosis using the mighty power of the written word. If the hero does have the Reading skill, choose the "Where do we start" option to continue the quest. Nicodemus will come up with his own cure, but some of the villagers may die during the wait, and the Plague Doctor achievement will not pop. If the player hasn't learned the Reading skill, they can describe the illness to Nicodemus as Fever, Stomach Pains, Diarrhea, and That's all.

In the dialog with Nicodemus, the player needs to convey that the plague has affected about half of the villagers and all of the animals in Merhojed. Understanding the Illness and Brewing the Cure Investigating the five houses in town should provide all the information players need to understand the illness, and speaking with Johanka at the monastery in Sasau will point the player toward Nicodemus, who will ultimately help Henry find the needed cure. Players who speak to a villager in Merhojed will learn about the sickness spreading through town, and the bailiff Melichar will offer to lend his services if the hero can help find a solution. The Pestilence quest will begin proper during the events of Question and Answers. They'll also want to have a stash of Valerian and Thistle herbs prior to starting the quest, if at all possible, as speaking with Nicodemus to learn about the plague outbreak with remove the option to purchase those herbs from him for the duration of the quest. If either of these conditions aren't met, some or all of the villagers may die, and as a result any future quests they may have offered will become unavailable.īefore beginning the quest, players will want to be sure to learn they've learned the Reading skill and performed a reasonable amount of practice in alchemy. Pestilence is kind of a tricky side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance for two big reasons: not only does the hero have to come up with the correct antidote, he has to administer it to the villagers in leiu of Nicodemus coming up with his own solution. Starting The Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pestilence Side Quest Read on to learn everything players should know before diving into the Pestilence side quest. These beleaguered villagers and even their animal companions fell victim to a nasty illness following the events of the main quest Questions and Answers, and if the player is able to cook up the right potion within the allotted time, they'll unlock the game's Plague Doctor achievement and save the townsfolk, which is important for players who don't want to lose access to future side quests. As its name might imply, this quest involves the hero helping cure the inhabitants of the town of Merhojed. Players who have begun diving into some of the side quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance are likely to stumble upon the mission titled Pestilence.
