As you spend time around the infirmary during the *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* Mysteria Ecclesia DLC, you’re bound to run into Maddie. The poor girl is desperately seeking help from the learned monks, but unfortunately, few of them have the time to assist her. That’s where you come in — it’s up to you to help Maddie find relief.
### Maddening Pain Quest Guide — *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*
One important thing to note is that you must complete this quest before finishing the **Anamnesis** DLC quest. If you wait too long and finish Anamnesis first, you will no longer be able to complete *Maddening Pain*.
—
#### Step 1: Speak to Maddie
You’ll first encounter Maddie outside the infirmary. She explains that she is suffering from severe stomach pain. Most people dismiss her condition, but she begs you for help.
—
#### Step 2: Talk to Novice Benedict
Head inside the infirmary and find Novice Benedict. Run through his dialogue options, then ask him for help with Maddie’s condition.
Initially, Benedict will refuse to help, but eventually, he will offer you a simple potion he believes might ease Maddie’s pain. **Important:** Do NOT give Maddie this potion. It will actually worsen her condition, and you will fail the quest if you do.

#### Step 3: Seek Help from Albich
Instead, go to the back left of the infirmary, where you’ll find Albich. Talk to him and explain Maddie’s situation. Albich will provide you with a recipe for an anti-inflammatory potion that can help her.

#### Potion Recipe and Ingredients
To craft the potion, you will need the following ingredients:
– Water (1 jar)
– Nettle (2 handfuls)
– Valerian (1 handful)
– Ginger (1 handful)
**Where to find these ingredients:**
– **Nettle** and **Valerian** can be found just outside the infirmary in the courtyard.

#### Step 4: Crafting the Anti-Inflammatory Potion
Follow these steps at the alchemy bench:
1. Open the alchemy book and prepare your ingredients by holding **E**.
2. Add water to the cauldron from your jars.
3. Take the nettle to the mortar and grind it using the pestle.
4. Add the ground nettle to 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. Grind the ginger in the mortar, then add it to the cauldron.
9. Use a phial from the left side of the bench and interact with the cauldron to pour the potion into it.

#### Step 5: Deliver the Potion to Maddie
Once the potion is crafted, head to the building at the northern edge of the monastery and give the potion to Maddie.

### Quest Completion
There is no monetary reward for completing this quest, but it’s a gratifying experience to help someone in genuine need.
Helping Maddie not only provides relief from her pain but also deepens your involvement in the Mysteria Ecclesia DLC storyline. Be sure to complete this quest before finishing Anamnesis to avoid missing out!
