Finding Rosa's Book in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Crucial Side Quest
Missing side quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can lead to failure, and Rosa's Book is one such easily overlooked quest. This guide will show you exactly where to find it.
Prerequisites:
Before this quest becomes available, you must complete "Via Argentum" and begin "Taking French Leave." After assisting the Ruthard family with Vavak (through either combat or diplomacy), speak with Rosa. She'll reveal a secret passage to Maleshov, crucial for rescuing Hans, and request you retrieve a book for her. Inquiring about the book and promising to deliver it initiates "Rosa's Book."
Important Note: This quest is only accessible during "Taking French Leave." Failing to retrieve the book before leaving with Hans results in quest failure and prevents a potential romance with Rosa.
Locating the Book:
Upon entering Maleshov, Hans is located in the tallest tower. Use the external stairs to access the tower's interior. Inside, you'll find a staircase and a small kitchen. Wait in the kitchen until the guards patrolling the upper levels leave.
Stealthily ascend the stairs to a room occupied by Lady Ofka. Knock her unconscious, and collect the keys from her person, the podium, and the sword from the chest. Rosa's book is located in a window alcove to the right of the fireplace – a red book. Grab it, and your objective updates to returning it to Rosa.
Additional Tip: While in this area, take the sword from the chest in the adjacent room. This will save you time later when assisting Hans and his unexpected guest, as you'll need two weapons.
After unlocking the door on the left of the top floor and completing the ensuing cutscene, continue "Taking French Leave." You can progress the romance with Hans by selecting the appropriate dialogue options (assuming you chose the heart option in Trosky). Proceed to the stables, neutralize guards, and escort Hans safely. A final cutscene concludes the quest.
Finally, return to Kuttenberg City and deliver the book to Rosa at Ruthard Palace, completing "Rosa's Book" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
