Follow our expert guide to complete the 'Thou Art But Dust' quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Learn how to gather bones, build skull pyramids, and find Brother Morticius.
Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'Thou Art But Dust' quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II? It's a bit of a trek to get to, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it. First things first, you won't even be able to start this quest until you've made some serious progress in the main story. You need to get past the 'Storm' quest and reach Kuttenberg before you can even think about exploring that region properly. Once you're finally free to roam, you might want to check out the Humble Knight in the northeast for 'The Reliquary' quest, as it shares some objectives and even the same quest giver with 'Thou Art But Dust'. But whether you do that first or not, your main destination for this quest is the Sedletz Monastery graveyard, located in the northeast of the Kuttenberg region. Look for Brother Morticius there; he's got a rather unusual request for you.
- 1Head to Sedletz Monastery: Make your way to the northeast part of the Kuttenberg region. You'll find the monastery there.
- 2Find Brother Morticius: He'll be waiting for you in the graveyard, just outside the temple.
- 3Gather Bones: Brother Morticius needs you to build three pyramids out of bones. You'll find plenty of bone piles scattered around the main temple room, on the floor and shelves. Loot them all. Don't stress too much about being over-encumbered; you won't be doing much running around for this part.
- 4Descend to the Crypt: Once you've looted the main temple, examine the trap door in the center of the room. Henry will fall through into the crypt below.
- 5Loot the Crypt: There are more bone piles down here. Make sure to loot every single one to get the total amount needed.
- 6Find the Crypt Exit: After looting, find the exit from the crypt. It's relatively small, and you'll emerge at the other end of the graveyard.
- 7Return to the Temple and Build Pyramids: Head back into the temple. You'll see three designated spots where you can build the pyramids. The game makes it easy – you can only place the correct bones on their specific pyramids, so just assemble all three.
- 8Find Brother Morticius (Again): Once the pyramids are built, head back outside to find Brother Morticius. Uh oh, he seems to have vanished.
- 9Speak to the Gravedigger: Look for a Gravedigger named Lenek leaning against a wall nearby. He'll tell you that a Monk named Moriticus actually died a long time ago, implying you might be mistaken.
- 10Quest Completion: Lenek will still inspect your bone pyramids and be impressed. Even though there's no monetary reward, you'll get some Craftsmanship XP for your efforts.
- Don't worry about being over-encumbered while collecting bones, as you won't be moving around much during that phase.
- The game prevents you from placing the wrong bones on the pyramids, so you can't mess up the building part.
- Craftsmanship XP
