Upon exploring the east side of the Kuttenburg region, players will come across the Sedletz Monastery, where they will find a few Monks outside and Brother Morticus sitting next to one of the graves. Players can talk to the old man, who speaks in rhymes and requests Henry to enter the Chapel to collect scattered bones and tidy up the place. He also asks players to arrange the bones and skulls separately, forming pyramids with them. This will start the Thou Art But Dust side quest.
This guide provides a step-by-step quest walkthrough on how to complete Thou Art But Dust in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and what players can gain from finishing it.

Thou Art But Dust Quest Walkthrough In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Gathering The Bones In Thou Art But Dust Quest
After accepting the quest from Brother Morticus, enter the Chapel, but avoid interacting with the trapdoor in the middle. Your first task is to collect all the bones scattered around the floor. Start by heading to the west corner, where you will find two shelves filled with skulls and bones. Clear them out and also remove the nearby bone pile. Then, move to the south corner and gather more bones from a shelf and two additional bone piles.
In the north corner, you will find another bone pile, along with two more piles of bones to clear. Finally, in the east corner, collect skulls from two shelves and clear the remaining bone piles. Make sure to also pick up the scattered bones near the pillars before proceeding.
Once you have gathered all the bones on this floor, you can interact with the pyramids. Place 28 normal skulls on one, followed by 26 cracked skulls on another. Then, deposit the 239 bones in the designated area to proceed.
Where To Find The Remaining Bones In Thou Art But Dust Quest
Interact with the trapdoor in the middle of the chapel to trigger a cutscene where Henry falls into the crypt below, with Brother Morticus tossing down a torch. Explore the crypt and pick up all the bones scattered across multiple rooms before exiting through the southern doorway, which leads back to the graveyard. Return to the chapel, interact with the pyramids, and place all the collected bones.
If you have any extra bones, you can deposit them as well to free up inventory space.
Afterward, you will be tasked with finding Brother Morticus, only to discover from the gravedigger that he died long before Henry was even born. The gravedigger will investigate the chapel to see what Henry has done, and upon completion, you will receive Craftsmanship XP, marking the end of the quest.
