Tekijältä X-ztnZ
Do you also want to get the Sir Capon achievements, but can't you find a good guide that explains you how to exactly get them? Do you think 'Pay 2000 gold for the recipe' sounds like the start of an epic quest? If the answer to both questions is yes, then it's no wonder you've had so much trouble unlocking the (Not-so-)Christian Burial en Ledetchko Revenant achievements. Luckily, this guide was created just with you in mind!

Introduction
In the first part of The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon you are tasked with retrieving a certain heirloom that he managed to misplace. After you've found and returned the heirloom (and delivered a love letter through a dead drop to his new sparkling flame), Lord Capon sends Heinrich on another epic quest. This time, you have to bring your liege lord the Musk of Infinite Allure from a certain learned healer.

Accepting will start No Rest for the Wicked quest, in which you can earn three achievements. Two of these (Christian Burial and Not-so-Christian Burial) are mutually exclusive. So if you want to unlock both during a single playthrough you will have to make a hard save at the start of the quest. The Ledetchko Revenant is a tie-in achievement that can be completed with either of the other two.

As is usual for a walkthrough, here be spoilers!, there be spoilers here.
Prerequisites
Now depending on how far you progressed through the main game and the The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon DLC you will have to do some prerequisite work for these achievements. In order to commence in No Rest for the Wicked you need to have completed:
  • Game of Throws (the first part of the Honeyed Words quest voor Lord Capon)
  • Miracles While You Wait (the first part of the Charlatan questline)

If you haven't yet completed a Game of Throws, I suggest you do so first. If you need help, with completing it you can look up a walkthrough[kingdom-come-deliverance.fandom.com] on the net.

Miracles While You Wait
Now as to Miracles While You Wait, it's perfectly fine if you did not finish this quest when starting the No Rest for the Wicked quest. In my first playthrough I skimped out on this quest, feeling the character of the Charlatan to be too dodgy for my good tastes. However, to get the achievements you will need to complete his quest, so go to Sasau and talk to him.

Turns out he's fresh out of Musk of Infinite Allure—but—for a price (2000 gold) he can sell you the recipe. If you don't have the gold or don't want to spend so much, you can also become his apprentice and he'll teach you the recipe for free. Sounds good right? Well, I suppose so, because in order to get the achievements you will need to take the apprentice route. Paying for the recipe will make it impossible to get the achievements.

Agree to become his apprentice, and he'll have you fetch three items for him:
  • Procopius´s tooth (persuade the farmhand or get into a fight with him);
  • Branch from a topping out (shoot it down from the monastery with bow and arrow);
  • Lucky cat's paw (play dice for the charm or use skulduggery to get it).

After returning the items, the Charlatan needs you to fetch one more item: the burial shroud of a recently deceased fellow. You can either sneak your way in and steal it, or use persuasion on his
superstitious son to gift you the shroud. Return the shroud to the Charlatan at his home and watch him leave in a hurry to...

Ledetchko

...which is also the place where No Rest for the Wicked truly starts and where you can unlock the achievements.
No Rest for the Wicked 1/2
Find the Charlatan in Ledetchko and talk to him (you can find him right next to the entrance of the Ledetchko Tavern). He'll tell you what an unfortunate turn of events his life took and how now—in this godforsaken town—he has to struggle for survival. Turns out the denizens of Ledetchko aren't as trustworthy of a travelling learned healer as your master.

(Heinrich meets the Charlatan at his new shop in Ledetchko)

Enter his trusted apprentice (you), who will help him get a footing in this town that is just waiting for interesting business propositions to happen. All you will have to do is persuade the townsfolk that they absolutely need the Charlatan's goods or suffer eternal damnation and retribution in hell. So how about you dig up some poor sods earthly remains and make the people of Ledetchko think he has come back from the death to hound them? Oh, and no need to worry about your own soul, the Charlatan already checked: saying a Hail Mary is enough because he's buried in unhallowed ground.

Head out of Ledetchko to the west—shovel in hand—to find the grave (yes you absolutely need a shovel in your inventory for this part). It isn't very hard to find and located but a small stretch out of town. Either follow the road or go through the fields en you should see a small mount rising up besides the river. Go up there, and climb the highest plateau that seems to be overlooking the town and river. There you will find the unmarked grave. Dig it out and continue to remove all human body parts.

('Tis hard work being a learned healer's apprentice)

With the foul smelling deed done, return to the village. Now you need to find the local gossip. She walks around town (from the water place behind the mill to her house at the other end of the village) and shouldn't be to much trouble to find. She wears a brown-grey gown and a white headscarf. Talk to her and as it turns out she's more than willing to talk about the grave and it's poor former occupant. Turns out he used to be a charcoal-burner who lived in the village. His life took a turn for the worse and he was banished, and when he died... well we know where he ended up right?

(Ledetchko gossip)

Now return to the Charlatan to give him an update, and you're almost ready to get (Not-so-)Christian Burial.
Christian Burial/Not-so-Christian Burial
After giving the Charlatan an update, mention the remains to the Charlatan and he'll offer to buy the bones of the revenant—probably already smelling profit in the air—however if you want the burial-achievements (and you do) make sure not to sell the charcoal-burner's remains to him. Hint that you want to bury the remains instead. Seems like you got two options: either rebury his remains in holy ground (which means Rattay because Ledetchko doesn't have its own parish) or talk to the gossip again to locate a suitable place to bury him.

(Ledetchko gossip sitting in front of her house—which is the last hovel when exiting Ledetchko towards the west)

So it's off to the gossip again. Find her (I found her sitting on a bench in front of her home) and ask her to tell the rest the man's tragic story. Pass a persuasion check of 0 (either tell her it's for your own sake or for her's) and she'll tell you all she knows. Turns out this poor soul's name is Lev and he buried his wife and stillborn child in the fields near Ledetchko. Also marked the place with three wood carving's. The gossip'll also mention that Lev threatened to burn down anybody's house who'd assault him. She also mentions that he went to Rattay for his foodstuffs, but no traders there seem to remember him.

Not-so-Christian Burial
Wouldn't it be nice to finally reunite a loving husband with his wife and child in death? Well, if that's your sentiment head out past the gossip's house into the fields again. Continue your way towards the mount where you earlier digged up Lev's remains, but now stick to the right of it. You should see the wooden totems a couple of yards next to it. Approach them and you should get a prompt to bury them. Do so and that's it for the Not-so-Christian Burial achievement. Congrats!

Christian Burial
For the Christian Burial achievement, follow the Charlatan's suggestion and head to Rattay. We need to find a place in hallowed ground, which means a place within the churchyard. There's only one church in Rattay with a churchyard so head to the St. Matthew's Church in the Rattay market. Standing in the middle of the churchyard is a big stone pillar. Approach it and you get a prompt to bury poor hapless Lev... Do so and revel in the knowledge that he will forever be separated from his loving wife and child whom shan't join him in heaven. Congrats for unlocking the Christian Burial achievement!

No Rest for the Wicked 2/2
When you returned to your new best friend in town—before you completed (Not-so-)Christian Burial—to give him an update, the both of you came up with a list of things to do to scare the villagers. You'll need to complete them for the Ledetchko Revenant achievement.

He also casually mentioned that you should talk to other people (like traders and the bailiff) to find out more devious ways to haunt them. Turns out only the grocer has anything sensible to say. He'll mentions rotten eggs, which'll prompt a quest update. Also talk to the bailiff for another optional task. If Fritz and Matthew are in town, you can also ask them for help.
  • Replace the eggs in the chicken coops with charcoal;
  • Replace the butcher's fresh meat with rotten meat;
  • Colour the water in the baths;
  • Steal rosaries;
  • (Optional) Think up what to do with the rotten eggs;
  • (Optional) Deal with the itinerants;
  • (Optional)*** Get help from Fritz and Matthew;
  • (Optional) Murder a villager.

(Chicken coops red, bathhouse tubs blue, well yellow, butcher's meat orange, intinerants green, Fritz & Matthew purple, dog pink)

*** Fritz and Matthew can only be spoken to for this quest if they're at the Ledetchko mill (during the ...Is a Friend Indeed quest). If they're in Sasau, at the Inn in the Glade, or in Pribyslavitz, they can't be talked to for this quest.

Replace the eggs in the chicken coops with charcoal
The first task in your journal should be to replace the eggs in the chicken coops with charcoal. There is a total of seven chicken coops, you can find them: 1. in the enclosure under the Gossip's house, 2. at the adjoining lot right next to the first coop, 3. next to the Gossip's house, 4. behind the general trader, 5. next to the bailiff's house, 6. next to the mill, 7. next to the blacksmith's house.

You only need to place charcoals in three (3) coops for the task to be successful. Make sure to steal any eggs that happen to be in the coops and keep them with you.

(Chicken coop behind the bailiff's house, steal any eggs inside and place a charcoal inside)

Replace the butcher's fresh meat with rotten meat
The second objective is to replace the butcher's meat. However, to do so you first have to find out which sorts of meat the local butcher is selling. Head over to the Butcher. Walk towards the back of the property and examine the hanging chicken. Next go inside—I'm unsure if it's considered trespassing as I still had to finish the Restless Spirit quest—and examine the pieces of mutton hanging in the entry hall. Next pick the lock to the pantry to your right and examine the hanging animal (the pantry, however, is definitely considered trespassing). Turns out Drahomira is buying roe-deer from poachers, that explains her guilty conscience.

Next you will have to find (or buy) the meat. Either should work. You'll need 50 pieces of roe-deer (the smaller creme-beige coloured deer). There is quite a few roe-deer spots around Ledetchko. So pick your spot and kill one, which should be more than enough for 50 piece.

Next you'll need 4 chickens and 25 pieces of mutton. I suppose you can kill the chickens/sheep in Ledetchko: there is chicken abundant and there are sheep grazing in the sward next to the butcher. If you don't want to kill the livestock in Ledetchko you can head out of town. Chicken are the most easy to find, almost every hovel and hamlet has a couple walking around. Sheep are trickier, but there is a spot just north of Ledetchko (in the clearing towards the Inn in the Glade) where they tend to spawn.

Colour water to blood
Ask the Charlatan for the recipe to colour water to blood and he'll recite it:
    How love turned to bloodshedOnce there was a knight who, though upright and noble-looking, had a prickly, unapproachable appearance. He fell in love with a fragile young maid, whom he saw with her sisters in a field, all wearing bright red wimples. But he was afraid his prickly exterior would frighten her, so he asked the advice of another knight, a pious and learned crusader, who carried the name of the patron saint of his order with pride. The pious knight told him he would arrange a rendezvous with the maid, all three would drink wine together by the river and he would help his friend to get acquainted with her. This they did, but the maid fell in love instead with the pious knight. The stern knight was enraged and challenged his rival to a duel. The two fought long and fiercely, but they were equally matched, and so in the end they both fell, mortally wounded. Anguished at the tragedy her beauty had caused, the young maid took a dagger from one of the knights and plunged it into her own heart. Their bodies lay together on the ground, and the blood flowed from them into the river turning the waters crimson.

That's quite a recipe, isn't it? Luckily, Heinrich need not search for damsels-in-distress, shining knights in armour, or fight duels to the death. The Charlatan—who forgot the exact recipe—tells that there is three herbs hidden in the story, that they need to be grinded, and then brewed for 1 turn. Reading through the recipe it's not that hard to find out which herbs are needed.

You will need to get a hand full of:
  • An upright and noble-looking, but prickly, unapproachable herb (Thistle)
  • A herb wearing bright red wimpels that stands with her sisters in a field (Poppy)
  • A herb that carries the name of the patron saint of a Knights Order with pride (St. John's Worth)
  • You'll also need a base for alchemy. Remember: all three would drink ... together (Wine)
Once you've made the Fake Blood Potion, go to the bathhouse in Ledetchko (located right next to the tavern) and drop the potion into one (out of three) tubs. Easy comes as easy goes.

(The Ledetchko baths)

Steal rosaries
As straightforward as they get. Either pickpocket the rosaries from the townspeople or sneak into their houses and steal them from their chests. Get yourself five (5) shiny new rosaries and the task is done.
Ledetchko Revenant
Even though you can already progress the quest by completing 3 out of 4 mandatory tasks, in order to get the Ledetchko Revenant achievement you need to complete all four main tasks and at least two optional tasks, either:
  • (Optional) Think up what to do with the rotten eggs;
  • (Optional) Deal with the itinerants;
  • (Optional) Get help from Fritz and Matthew;
  • (Optional) Murder a villager.

Rotten eggs
Talk to the grocer in Ledetchko and he should relate to you how all eggs have turned sour. Well, if that isn't just the sort of gossip we are looking for. Fortunately, Heinrich also kept the eggs that he stole out of the coops. Keep them a little longer until they give off a real stink—a diabolical stink, like brimstone—and poison the water with them. The hardest part here is to make the eggs rot (which takes two days) because there is only one well to poison, and that one is on the bathhouse property.

(Well it's a well, what did you expect? The only well in town, mind you. Fortunately for the townspeople of Ledetchko they all seem to get their water out of the Sasau river anyhow)

Deal with the itinerants
Talk with to the bailiff (who walks around town quite a lot and otherwise can be found inside his house across the street from the tailor) and mention the revenant. He'll tell you it's all just the talk of old hags. Instead he points the finger at some good-for-nothing itinerants—petty thieves and beggars—that have been roaming the countryside.

The derelicts can be found in the forest to the south-west side of Ledetchko. Just underneath the loggers camp is a small clearing on your map. That's where they're camping. Head there, and talk to one of te itinerants. Explain your mission but instead of scaring them away, tell them they could be of help. Tell them you plan to scare the Ledetchko inhabitants and they'll gladly help, for a price. Either pay 20 gold or pass a speech check (level 9). Return and inform the bailiff and you're done.

(Derelicts squatting in the shallow of a hollow buff)

(Location of itinerant's camp)

Interestingly, if you go to the north-east end of town during the night (near the abandoned shed), you can actually see (and hear) one of the derelicts scaring the village.

Get help from Fritz and Matthew
Unfortunatly, I haven't (yet) been able to test this out, but you should be able to get their help if they are staying with the Ledetchko miller.

Murder a villager
If you're especially devious you can murder a villager—here's the twist though—even though you can't be caught during the act the people of Ledetchko need to find the corpse the be frightened. Thus, it's no good to kill a lonely farmer in a field that nobody will pass by, or to kill a whole household while they're sleeping. Killing a peasant in his sleep and dropping him in the street should do the trick though. Make sure the guards find him and have a relaxing sleep afterwards.

Return to the Charlatan and he'll press you about the murder. Of course, you're going with plausible denial when he asks you about it (speech check of 0). If you admit to doing it, the gigs up, and (even though you get the potion recipe) you won't be able to get Ledetchko Revenant this way.

Fearless Fellows
After completing three main tasks the stage is set. Talk to the Charlatan and he'll congratulate you, only there is but one tiny little problem. Turns out Ledetchko has itself a would-be hero who ain't afraid of the devil himself. Talk to the gossip and inform about his weakness. Seems like he hasn't one, but his two friends do. One's afraid for animals, the other for fire.

Return to the Charlatan and he'll tell you to take care of the friend that's afraid of animals. How? Just find the most diabolic sounding dog in town and imitate his bark. If you've walked through Ledetchko before you will have undoubtedly heard this dog before. He is located between two small Cornelian cherry dogwood trees in the enclosure behind the tavern.

(He already looks like a little devil on four legs)

Once you learned the intricacies of pronouncing a devilish 'woof' return to Charlatan who'll also mention you'll have to shoot down a lantern at the gravesite to scare the second friend. Either practice or don't. Whatever you do, you should find Fearless Felix (a bald gruffy guy dressed in browns who hangs around the tavern a lot) and challenge him on his boast. Choose whatever you wish because they'll all end with him accepting the wager.

(Fearless Felix at his favourite spot)

The game now automatically transports you to the gravesite at night. You have two tasks to do: shoot down the lantern (that really looks like a bright shiny star) and scare the fearless fellows by barking.

You can bark by pressing X only when you're very near the campsite and the trespass icon appears. Barking is on a 10 second cooldown and is indicated by the courage icon. After your third bark the last friend should depart and you can relax in the shadows and watch the rest of the show.

(Stalk the camp and use your special vocal power to scare the Fearless Fellows)

Talk to the Charlatan and return to Ledetchko. Wait till the next day and you should see him again on the market. Talk to him after 10 am and it seems business is a booming. The Charlatan'll give you Lord Capon's love potion (and recipe) and the Ledetchko Revenant achievement should unlock after you exit the dialogue. Well done! You're now an official learned healer's journeyman!

Frequently asked questions
Q: So, I met this shady looking guy that Lord Capon send me to, and he said I could have the recipe for 2000 gold. I can still get the achievements right?
A: Nope.

Q: Ah, surely thou art jesting, good sir!
A: Nope.

Q: I don't get it. What do I need to do to create the Fake Blood potion? Can't you just post the recipe?
A: Sure, here you are:










Q: Why can't I find this recipe anywhere? Gosh, being the apprentice of a learned healer is so taxing!
A: Simple, there is no written recipe before you craft it. Narly, isn't it?

Q: I followed the recipe you posted here and it doesn't work! Liar! Cheater! Charlatan!
A: What's in a name, right? Next time, as an apprentice, pay better attention when your master explains the recipe. You need to boil the mixture for 1 turn of the hourglass.

Q: I really don't want to be a bother for the butcher's widow Drahomira. Can't I really skip out on spoiling her meat and still get the achievement? The Charlatan said I shouldn't have to right?
A: Nope, can't do. While you can skip the task and still complete 'No Rest for the Wicked', you cannot skip the task and get the Ledetchko Revenant achievement.

Q: How can you be so sure? Surely, they wouldn't say it's skippable if it really is not, right?
A: I'm absolutely totally completely 100% sure, because I've tried it so you don't have to.

Q: What about murdering somebody, can I skip on that?
A: Yes you can!

Q: Help! Some pictures aren't showing up!
A: Yeah, I know. Sometimes Steam Guides seems to randomly wipe uploaded images out from existence. The only thing that seems to work is reuploading the pictures, so just give a holler if the problem persists.

Q: Didn't you also write a guide on how the get the Friends without Benefits achievement?
A: Yes, I did! How kind of you to ask. You can visit it by clicking here. It sure is nice to be remembered for the sweat of one's brow and the fruits of one's pen.

Q: That's sure a cool and helpfull guide. Did you write any other KCD related guides?
A: In fact I did! I also authored the Band of Bastards Steam Guide and the comprehensive Kingdom Come: Deliverance 100% Achievement Reference Guide. In addition, I wrote a small guide on the Wingman and True Friend achievements (see here).
