Discover Rosa's Book Location in KCD2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, some side quests are easy to miss, and failing them can mean missing out on unique rewards or story elements. One such quest is "Rosa's Book," which requires careful timing and attention to detail to complete successfully.

Unlocking the Rosa's Book Side Quest

To start the "Rosa's Book" quest, you must first complete the "Via Argentum" quest and initiate "Taking French Leave." During "Taking French Leave," you'll help the Ruthard family deal with Vavak, either through force or persuasion. After resolving this, you'll be directed to speak with Rosa. She'll inform you about a secret passage into Maleshov, which is crucial for rescuing Hans. While discussing the passage, Rosa will ask you to retrieve a book for her. Make sure to ask her which book it is and promise to bring it back to her, officially starting the "Rosa's Book" quest.

It's important to note that "Rosa's Book" can only be completed during the "Taking French Leave" quest. If you leave Maleshov with Hans without finding the book, the quest will fail, and you'll miss the chance to romance Rosa. Fortunately, the book is conveniently located on your path to Hans' room.

Upon entering Maleshov, head to the largest tower where Hans is located at the top. Use the stairs on the side of the building to reach the entrance. Sneak inside and find another set of stairs near a small kitchen. Hide in the kitchen until the guards upstairs leave the tower.

Next, quietly ascend the stairs to find a room with Lady Ofka sitting inside, facing the fireplace. Sneak behind her and knock her out. Collect the keys from her body, the keys from the podium, and the sword from the chest in her room. In this room, to the right of the fireplace, you'll find Rosa's book in a window alcove. Pick it up, and your objective will update to return the book to Rosa.

While you're in the area, don't forget to grab another sword from the chest in the adjacent room. This will save you time later when you need two weapons for Hans and his surprise guest. Proceed to the top level and unlock the door on the left to trigger a cutscene.

After the cutscene, continue with "Taking French Leave." Although Hans may not want to use the passageway, you can progress towards romancing him by choosing the heart dialogue option, provided you did the same in Trosky. Sneak to the stables on the north side of Maleshov, knocking out and hiding guards as necessary. Clear a path, signal Hans, and ensure he reaches the stables safely.

Open the gate to initiate another cutscene, concluding the quest. Once it ends, return to Kuttenberg City and stop by Ruthard Palace to deliver Rosa's book, completing the "Rosa's Book" quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
