Where to Find Rosa’s Book in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (KCD2)

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, a crucial side quest involving Rosa's book is easily missed, leading to a failed quest and potentially hindering your romantic pursuit of Rosa. This guide will show you exactly where to find it.

Unlocking Rosa's Book Side Quest

Before Rosa requests her book, complete the "Via Argentum" quest and begin "Taking French Leave." After assisting the Ruthard family with Vavak (through either force or diplomacy), speak with Rosa to learn about a secret passage into Maleshov, crucial for rescuing Hans. She'll mention the book; inquire about it and promise to retrieve it to initiate "Rosa's Book." This quest is only available during "Taking French Leave." Leaving Maleshov with Hans without the book results in quest failure and lost romantic opportunities.

Locating Rosa's Book in Maleshov

Upon entering Maleshov, Hans is located in the tallest tower. Use the side stairs to access the tower's interior. Inside, you'll find another staircase and a small kitchen. Wait in the kitchen until the guards patrolling upstairs leave.

Proceed upstairs to a room occupied by Lady Ofka. Knock her out, and collect the keys from her person, the podium, and the sword from the chest. Rosa's book is located in this room—a red book resting in the window alcove to the right of the fireplace. Take the book, updating your objective to return it to Rosa.

While there, acquire the sword from the chest in the adjacent room. This will save time later when equipping Hans and his unexpected guest. 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 her at Ruthard Palace, completing the quest. Remember, choosing the dialogue option with the heart symbol (assuming you made the same choice in Trosky) may enhance your chances with Hans.
