Restless Spirit

Restless Spirit is a side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. After getting a tip-off from the Innkeeper of Ledetchko, Henry hears that the local herbalist, Kunhuta, hasn't been seen recently.

Kunhuta has injured her back, and requests that Henry attend to a matter on her behalf. The ghosts of her dead neighbour is haunting Drahomira at night, and she asks Henry to help her put the angry spirits to rest.

You'll need to break into the Monastery, which has 'hard' and 'Very Hard' locks, so bring lockpicks and possibly a Padfoot potion.

Walkthrough

Head to the herbalist's hut north of Ledetchko and speak to Kunhuta, who will ask for Henry's help. Drahomira, the Ledetchko butcher's widow, had requested Kunhuta's assistance in exorcising her dead neighbour's spirit, but the herbalist is not well enough to make the journey.

Kunhuta asks Henry to collect 10 poppies in order to perform a 'smudging' ritual, and go to Drahomira for further instructions. She sells the poppies, so purchase them off her or go and pick some, then head down to Ledetchko and speak to Drahomira at the butchers. She is not quite sure that young Henry is up to the task, so you'll need to convince or intimidate her to continue the quest.

She will then reveal that she has been haunted by the ghost of her dead neighbour, Alois, a nearby farmer. Henry questions why his spirit is tormenting her of all people. She suggests it is because they grew up together as children. Travel to St. Martin's church in Sasau and find Alois's grave in the churchyard, which has some cemetery flowers growing on it. Pick the flowers and go back to Ledetchko. Drahomira will take you to her bedroom and ask you to drop the flowers into a dish before a cross.

Alois' grave

Henry will have the option to do the prayer in English or Latin. Don't let the fact that Henry can't speak Latin deter you. Wait until 06:00 the next day, and talk to Drahomira. Unfortunately, the ritual doesn't work, so Drahomira sends you to see Konyash, the Apothecary, in Rattay. (If you have a Lullaby potion in your inventory you can offer it to her but she will refuse it.) He hesitates to help initially, as communicating with the dead is heresy. However, he does know of a book - a forbidden book, kept under lock and key at the Sasau Monastery, called the Necronomicon.

Travel to the Monastery and wait until evening - the monks go to bed at 11 pm. Enter the courtyard, and head up the stairs to your left. When you get to the first-floor landing, turn left and head for the door straight ahead of you - this is the easiest door to unlock (even though it's still 'Hard') and will take you directly to the keys and then to the cabinet without running into too many monks.

The forbidden cabinet

Once you can access the locked room, you can go through the door on your left to a basic sleeping chamber and into a luxurious bedroom. You should pick up Treasure map II from the side table while here. But don't take the torn page - you need it for Scattered Pages. The next room has a table with four chairs and a locked trunk. Pick the chest to obtain the key to forbidden books. The Prior sleeps directly on the other side of the wall from the chest with the key to the forbidden books, and it is nearly impossible NOT to wake him, so if you can pick "Very Hard" level locks, it might be easier to simply bypass this chest.

You can continue onto the next room, then unlock the 'Very Hard' door to access another bedroom before you enter the library. Directly to your left is a locked cabinet on a shelf with the Necronomicon inside that you can either pick or use the key to forbidden books to open. Pick it up (it is on the left side of the second shelf down and can be hard to see) and leave the way you came. While you're there, don't be tempted to take Avicenna - Sufficientia, which is right next to the Necronomicon, as you'll need it for Libri Prohibiti, and it's easier to get if you leave it where it is. Go back the way you came to get out of the Monastery, and then go back to Rattay to give the book to Konyash. He'll be very pleased and pay you 20 . He should find the spell within about 14 minutes.

Alois' burnt down farmhouse

Konyash tells Henry that the ghost has unfinished business, and he will need to pray over the grave of the person keeping him from moving on while burning something from Alois' house. Go back to Drahomira and learn about Alois' wife, Lada, a vile woman who burned down their farmhouse - with Alois still inside. Lada went mad and was later found dead in the woods, where she was quickly buried.

Henry will also learn that the burnt-down farmhouse is just north of Ledetchko. Ask some villagers about the grave to know she is buried on the hillside on the other side of the river. Head to the farmhouse and grab a piece of charred wood, find the grave, and return to Rattay, where the Apothecary will agree to meet you at the crossroads east of Ledetchko.

Meet with the Apothecary at the crossroads.

Go there at 21:00, and follow him to the grave, where he will perform the exorcism.

The location of Lada's grave

See Drahomira and find out if the spell worked.

See Drahomira after 07:00 and before 20:00 the next day, and she will tearfully tell Henry that the spell didn't work, give him 375 and ask him to visit a priest to ask for his help. Travel to Uzhitz to talk to Father Godwin, who will suggest that it is not a ghost, but only the widow's conscience that haunts her. He advises Henry that there may be more to this story and to go back to Drahomira, get the truth, and have her erect an atonement cross (and if you can get her to donate to the Uzhitz church, that'd be even better).

Once again, return to Ledetchko, and find out the truth by threatening or cajoling the widow.

She will confess that she and Alois had been having an affair, and Lada found out, setting fire to the farmhouse in revenge. Henry can advise Drahomira to reveal the truth to Alois' children or to let sleeping dogs lie. She will then give him 10 to visit the Talmberg quarry and arrange for erecting an atonement cross.

Go to the quarry and arrange for a cross to be made.

Rupert at the quarry will sell you the cross and send it to Ledethcko. Drahomira will thank Henry for his help and give him 20 and her ring. She tells him she feels at peace, and Henry comments that he has yet to find his.
