Author : Lucy Mar 15,2025

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, a crucial side quest, easily missed and unrecoverable if failed, involves retrieving Rosa's book. This guide ensures you won't miss this opportunity.

Unlocking Rosa's Book Side Quest

Before Rosa requests your assistance, complete the "Via Argentum" quest and begin "Taking French Leave." After resolving the Vavak situation with the Ruthard family (through either persuasion or force), speak with Rosa to learn about a secret passage into Maleshov, essential for rescuing Hans. She'll then ask you to retrieve her book. Inquire about the book's specifics, and promise to deliver it to initiate the "Rosa's Book" quest. This quest is only available during "Taking French Leave." Failing to find the book before leaving with Hans results in a failed quest and missed romantic opportunities with Rosa.

Locating Rosa's Book

Upon entering Maleshov, Hans is located in the tallest tower. Use the external stairs to access the tower's entrance. Inside, you'll find another stairwell and a small kitchen. Hide in the kitchen until the guards above leave.

Proceed upstairs and locate a room where Lady Ofka is seated. Stealthily knock her unconscious. Take her keys, the keys from the podium, and the sword from the chest. Rosa's book is in this room—a red book situated in the window alcove to the right of the fireplace. Grab it, and your objective updates to returning the book to Rosa.

While there, collect the sword from the chest in the adjacent room. This provides you with two weapons for Hans and his unexpected guest, saving time later. Once ready, unlock the door on the left of the top level to trigger a cutscene.

Completing the Quest

Following the cutscene, continue "Taking French Leave." Guide Hans to the stables, neutralizing guards along the way. After the final cutscene, return to Kuttenberg City and deliver Rosa's book to Ruthard Palace, completing the quest.
