## Maddening Pain Quest Guide – Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
One important thing to note about this quest is that you **must finish it before the end of the Anamnesis DLC quest**. If you wait too long and try after completing Anamnesis, the side quest will no longer be available, and you won’t be able to finish it.

### Starting the Quest
After speaking to Maddie outside the infirmary, you learn she is suffering from terrible stomach pain. Unfortunately, few people seem willing to take her seriously, which leads her to beg for your assistance.
—
### Step 1: Speak to Novice Benedict
Enter the infirmary and talk to Novice Benedict. Run through his dialogue options, then ask him if he can help Maddie. Initially, he will refuse, but eventually he’ll offer a simple potion that he thinks might ease her pain.
**Warning:** Do **not** give Maddie the potion from Benedict. This potion is actually harmful, and giving it to her will cause you to fail the quest.

### Step 2: Seek Help from Albich
Instead, head to the back left of the infirmary to find Albich. Talk to him and ask for help. After your conversation, Albich will provide you with a recipe for an anti-inflammatory potion that should help Maddie.
—
### Ingredients Required
– Water x1
– Nettle x2
– Valerian x1
– Ginger x1
**Where to find the ingredients:**
– **Nettle and Valerian:** Just outside the infirmary in the courtyard.
– **Ginger:** Inside the cabinet in the alchemy room at the rear of the infirmary.

### Step 3: Making the Potion
To craft the potion, follow these steps at the alchemy bench:
1. Open the recipe book and prepare your ingredients by holding **E**.
2. Add water to the cauldron from the jars.
3. Place nettle in the mortar and grind it using the pestle.
4. Add the ground nettle into the cauldron.
5. Lower the cauldron for one turn of the timer, then raise it back up.
6. Add two handfuls of valerian directly into the cauldron.
7. Lower the cauldron for two turns of the timer.
8. Put ginger in the mortar, grind it, and add it to the cauldron.
9. Use a phial from the left side of the bench and pour the potion from the cauldron into the phial.

### Step 4: Deliver the Potion
Finally, go to the building at the northern edge of the monastery and give the crafted potion to Maddie.

### Quest Completion
That’s it! The quest will end here. You won’t receive any reward, but it feels good to have helped someone in genuine need.
