Starting Location: The Time has Come

Automatically starts when the DLC quest To Dust you Shan’t Return ends.

Lay Albich on the bed

Pick up Albich from the floor and place him on the left bed. He mentions the “scales” which is your clue where to look for Wenceslas’s records.

Find King Wenceslas’s medical records

Open the map and fully zoom in. Directly west of the infirmary you see the Abbot’s chapel which is marked by an angel holding scales on the map. That’s where you need to go.

King Wenceslas’s medical records location: You find Wenceslas’s medical records in the Abbot’s chapel behind the altar. You can enter from the courtyard to the west.

Find out how to forge documents (Optional)

Go to the library and speak to Librarian Crispin. Ask him “How to forge documents?” > “It’s about King Wencenslas” -> he tells you how to make forgeries and the objective marker updates.

You can also get the info by winning a skillcheck instead. Failing a skillcheck or saying “It’s about King Sigismund” won’t update the map marker but you can make the forgery regardless.

Cat Interaction (counts towards  Feline Affection): In the back left corner of the library, walk near the last bookshelf and check if you get the / / ALT prompt “Kitty kitty…”. If it’s available use it to call the cat again. If not, try making an exit save and rebooting the game a few times, this can help to make it spawn.

 

Forge King Wenceslas’s medical records (Optional)

Exit the library, turn right and go down the stairs to the cellar. At the bottom of the stairs turn right and climb over the scaffold to revisit the hidden scriptorium you unlocked in the 2nd quest Anamnesis, where the monk told you jokes.

Here you can interact with the table to make fake records. You must first read the real records under Inventory > Books > Wenceslas’s medical record. Read these carefully to understand what to put in the forgery.

 

After interacting with the table you must decide what to put in the forged records to make it believable to Zacharias. You want to make it as close as possible to the original book: “Without addressing” > “Head and stomach pain” > “Less drink” > “Infertility” > “Healthy lifestyle”.

Ask the Abbot for the relic [only if you gave him the relic earlier and didn’t lie to hide it]

You only get this objective if you gave the relic to the Abbot in Seek and you Shall Find. Go up the stairs next to the library to reach the Abbot’s office.

If you win any of the skillchecks, he gives you the relic and lifts the curfew for you. If you fail the skillchecks, you can steal the relic from the chest in the Abbot’s Chambers (the last room on this floor).

Speak with Ludolf [only if you won skillcheck with Abbot]

If you won the skillcheck with the Abbot and he gave you the relic, you get this objective. Ludolf is the head of the guards, he will get marked on the map. He’s typically patrolling around the area between the soldiers’ camp and the monastery. There are no dialogues to pick with him, he automatically gives you permission to take an armor.

Pick up your armor at the camp [only if you talked to Ludolf]

If you did the previous 2 objectives, then Ludolf lets you take the Noble Cuirass and Bell-shaped bascinet from one of the tents. This is a very good armor that will come in handy for the final encounter, so equip it now.

This is also why it’s best to have given the relic to the Abbot in Seek and you Shall Find, the end result of that decision is that you get this free armor. However, it will also be here if you kept the relic and you could simply steal it.

Wait for Zacharias in the church

Before going to the church, equip your best armor and weapon. You should make a manual save beforehand, because this objective will lock you into the ending. The last combat encounter can be challenging, so in case you get stuck it’s good to have a fallback save. If you need better gear, you can loot armor/weapons from the soldier camp in the south-west edge of the monastery grounds. It’s also good to quickslot some Merigold Decoction to heal during combat and bring some bandages.

When ready, go to the hole in the church and use the interaction prompt that appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. This triggers a cutscene.

Zacharias and his men will surround you. Zacharias will now talk to you. The best outcome is to give him the real records or correctly forged records, this way you gain the antidote at the end and Albich is restored to full health.

If you forged the medical records you can pick between “Give the real records” and “Give the forged records”. If you skipped the forgery it’s fine to give the real records. If you correctly forged the records he will accept them. If you put nonsense in the forgery, he will laugh in your face and recognize you forged it.

A cutscene will begin where the Abbot and his guards enter the church. They will kill Zacharias’s guards and defend you. This always happens, no matter what choices you made up to this point. It doesn’t matter if you gave the Abbot the relic or kept it for yourself or if you withheld other info from him. I tested all paths and this always plays out the same way no matter what.

Don’t let Zacharias escape!

One of Zacharias’s men will be in front of you, either defeat him or run past him.

Drop down the hole in the church floor and run through the side tunnel (right of the crypt). Then go through the cellars, you can only go one way as the other paths are blocked off. Halfway through the cellar there’s another combat encounter. After exiting the cellar a cutscene starts and you face off against Zacharias.

Defeat Zacharias

Kill Zacharias in the duel. He has a surprising amount of health for an unarmored enemy.

After the fight, exhaust all dialogues in any order you like. If you pick all the questions and give him a painkiller brew he will tell you a little more: he says Albich found out that Zacharias knew about poisons. He admits to being a wicked man and urges you to live a better life than him. You can then pray for him or condemn his actions. He then dies and you can take the antidote from his body. A cutscene will play afterward where you return to Albich.

If you delivered the real documents or correctly forged ones, you obtain the antidote and Albich is restored to full health. If the antidote was lost, Albich still wakes up but takes a longer time and his vision becomes impaired.

You will sit by Albich’s bed until he wakes up. Then you find yourself in the now-repaired church. The reason why you came to the monastery, to gain access to Wenceslas, never actually happens.

Speak with Albich

Talk to Albich in the church. What dialogues you pick doesn’t matter.

Speak with the Abbot

Talk to the Abbot in the church, he stands next to Albich. What you say to him doesn’t matter either. He’s happy to welcome you back to the monastery anytime, even if you lied and kept the relic from him.

Leave the monastery

Head out the west exit of the monastery grounds to finish the DLC.

You will unlock 2 trophies/achievements:

• Fresh Air – You finished DLC 3.
• Quiet as a Church Mouse  – The knights never had to escort you to the infirmary (if you were never had the guards catch you and put you back at the infirmary).

You can return to the monastery at any time by talking to the guard at the gate. However, you can’t have any stolen goods on you or he won’t let you in. You can continue to free roam the rest of the world now. When you open the inventory, the game will offer to equip what you had before entering the monastery.

If you didn’t yet unlock  Feline Affection (you repeatedly interacted with a cat), pay the guard 300 Groschen to re-enter the monastery and call the “Kitty Kitty” cat in the corner of the library again. For me the trophy unlock after having finished the DLC story and returning there one more time.

This finishes the Mysteria Ecclesiae DLC. The story is now complete. Congratulations! See you again in Kingdom Come Deliverance 3!
