As you spend a lot of time around the infirmary during the **Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Mysteria Ecclesia DLC**, you are bound to run into Maddie. The poor girl is seeking help from the learned monks, but few of them have time to assist her. As such, it’s up to you to step in and help.
## 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 until after completing Anamnesis, you will no longer be able to complete Maddie’s side quest.
### Starting the Quest
After speaking to Maddie outside the infirmary, you’ll learn that she is suffering from terrible stomach pain. Unfortunately, very few people take her seriously, and she begs you for help.
Your first step is to go inside the infirmary and talk to **Novice Benedict**. Run through his dialogue options and ask him to help Maddie. Initially, he will refuse, but eventually, he offers a simple potion that he believes might help her.
**Important:** Do **not** give Maddie this potion, as it will cause you to fail the quest.
### Seeking Better Help
Instead of giving Maddie the potion from Benedict, head to the back left of the infirmary where you will find **Albich**. Talk to him and ask for his help. After your conversation, Albich will provide you with a recipe for an anti-inflammatory potion.
### Ingredients Needed
To craft the potion, you will need the following ingredients:
– Water (1)
– Nettle (2)
– Valerian (1)
– Ginger (1)
You can find nettle and valerian just outside the infirmary in the courtyard. The ginger is located inside a cabinet in the alchemy room at the rear of the infirmary.
### Crafting the Potion
At the alchemy bench, follow these steps to prepare the potion:
1. Open the alchemy book and prepare your ingredients by holding the **E** key.
2. Add water to the cauldron from the jars.
3. Add nettle to the mortar and grind it with the pestle.
4. Pour the ground nettle into the cauldron.
5. Lower the cauldron for one turn of the timer, then raise it again.
6. Add two handfuls of valerian directly to the cauldron.
7. Lower the cauldron for two turns of the timer.
8. Add ginger to the mortar, grind it, and add it to the cauldron.
9. Use a phial from the left side of the bench and interact with the cauldron to fill it with the potion.
### Completing the Quest
Once the potion is ready, take it to the building at the northern edge of the monastery and give it to Maddie.
While you won’t receive any tangible rewards for helping her, it’s a satisfying conclusion to assist someone in genuine need.

Helping Maddie during the Mysteria Ecclesia DLC is a small but meaningful task that adds depth to your experience in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Just remember to craft the right potion and avoid the initial offer from Novice Benedict!
