Occasionally, the missions in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 deviate from the Margrave War’s impact on Bohemia. Instead, they delve into political scheming and social subterfuge, as with the Ill Repute mission, which centers around helping out a friend.

In this adventure, I, Henry, am tasked with employing my cunning and connections to aid Betty in claiming the position of Kuttenberg’s Municipal Bathhouse Owner.

If she is successful, Henry will receive complimentary bathhouse services, saving him a significant amount of gold during the game.

To successfully finish the “Ill Repute” mission in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, make sure you don’t miss out on any chances throughout the process.

Deliverance 2, ensure you don’t overlook any opportunities as you progress through it.

How To Start Ill Repute

Following the completion of “A Good Scrub”, whispers about Betty’s ambition for the position of the Municipal Bathhouse began circulating in Kuttenberg.

Interact with informants scattered across the city, such as bailiffs and innkeepers, to gather information that eventually finds its way to Henry. Once he’s informed, he can make his way to the Kingfisher Bathhouse, located southeast of the city, for a chat with old Betty.

Betty clarifies that the city council members of Kuttenberg have proposed a new tax, but luckily, one Municipal Bathhouse is going to be spared from it.

In a more straightforward phrasing, here’s how it could be rewritten: Betty implores Henry for help, as her main rival, Adam, has a secret alliance with Councilor Naaz that grants him an unjust edge in the district.

Breaking Up Adam And Naaz

Information Gathering

Naaz often visits a bathhouse located southwest of Kuttenberg, where you can gather information about her by chatting with the women there.

  • Lousy Mary offers a free bathhouse experience if Henry accepts her drink.
  • Katcha shares a story about Naaz’s bad experience with fleas and how he once threatened to shut down Adam’s bathhouse over it. However, this information requires a speech check (or bribe).
  • Lida knows about Naaz’s favorite oil but will only reveal it if she receives a Noblewoman’s Cotchardie, which can be purchased from a tailor north of the bathhouse.
  • Meaty Mary can be persuaded through hard speech checks or a bribe, revealing that Naaz has a sensitivity to chamomile and keeps special wine upstairs.

Should Henry be apprehended during this stage of the quest, it’s possible to persuade the Alderman who examined Betty’s bathhouse in A Good Scrub for a sum of 5000 gold. This Alderman can provide the necessary support for Betty. You can locate him close to Adam’s bathhouse.

Find Some Fleas, Use Some Fleas (Optional)

It’s no surprise that fleas aren’t idly lingering, ready to be accidentally dropped onto city officials. Approaching homeless individuals can be a first step, but many may find Henry’s inquiries offensive.

You can, however, find a flea-infested blanket in a beggar encampment near Kuttenberg’s Town Hall.

After acquiring them, the fleas can be scattered over Naaz’s freshly washed clothes and later placed in his private storage area within Adam’s bathhouse.

Henry must be cautious, as being seen committing this act sends witnesses to call the guards.

Steal Naaz’s Fancy Oil (Optional)

Naaz strongly prefers a specific Exotic Aromatic Oil that could potentially be taken from Adam’s bathing facility.

The oil can be found on the third level, past the initial entrance and then the door to your right, inside a cupboard. Since Henry has been deemed as unauthorized, ensure that nobody observes you on the third floor.

If it’s not possible to locate a window during the daytime, think about wearing dark clothing and attempting entry discreetly at night.

Spike Naaz’s Wine With Chamomile (Optional)

Aware that Naaz finds chamomile unpleasant, Henry might choose to add it to his wine as a way to discomfort him. This wine is kept in Adam’s bathhouse on the second floor, locked securely behind an easy-to-reach door on the left side at the top of the stairs.

As this location is secured as well, Henry might consider attempting to open the lock under cover of darkness or making sure there’s no one in sight. If discovered while trying to tamper with it, guards will likely become aware and potentially create problems.

You can buy Chamomile from Kuttenberg’s local apothecary

Finding Friends For Betty

After Naaz’s relationship with Adam causes trouble, it falls upon Henry to find a new alliance partner for Betty within the council. Upon returning to Betty at the Kingfisher Bathhouse, she will instruct Henry to approach Councilor Tuchmacher, who operates a store in central Kuttenberg.

Talk to him to figure out what he needs- but be careful not to mention Betty.

The tailor needs someone to take his place in a challenge. Henry has to engage in the combat on his behalf, however, there are numerous limitations involved.

In the course of this fight, Henry must forego wearing armor, but he may don some clothing for minimal safety. He is limited to choosing among three types of weaponry: a flail, a mace, or a hunting sword.

However, unless Henry successfully manages a difficult persuasion attempt, Jan won’t be constrained by any such limitations regarding removing his armor.

If Jan passes away, the mission will be unsuccessful. Try to minimize your damage and steer clear from critical hits, particularly when using weapons you are proficient with.

In a battle, it might get tough if you’re not wearing any protective gear. So, think about using healing potions such as Artemisia or Buck’s Blood to enhance your ability. Learning effective strategies like mastering blocks and counterattacks, particularly ripostes, are essential for winning the duel while minimizing risk.

As a fan, I’d put it this way: Coating your weapon with Bane gives you an edge in the fight. It gradually weakens your opponent, Jan, so much that one well-placed strike might be all you need to claim victory. All you have to do is dodge and parry to let the poison take effect.

After Henry wins, Tuchmacher decides to back Betty. This means another vote for her is secured.

The Votes Are In

Following Tuchmacher’s endorsement, it’s now on Henry to update Betty. The last action involves a brief pause of approximately 3-4 game days, until the Kuttenberg council convenes to make their conclusive decision.

The journal will be updated automatically after the required amount of time has elapsed. When I talk to Betty again, she’ll verify her win and provide Henry with a lifetime of complimentary bathhouse privileges.
