When scouring the east side of Kuttenburg in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you will find a curious gravesite called the Sedletz Monastery inhabited by the monks who care for the dead.
Speaking to a specific clergyman will allow you to begin a side quest tied to this area. It’s Brother Morticus, who will be sitting beside a grave awaiting a kind soul to accept his plea.

Can’t get into the Abandoned Cottage to get the carcass? Here is how you can complete the Forbidden Fruit Quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
If Henry accepts his request, riddled in rhymes to restore order beyond the grave, you will be tasked with arranging the scattered remains found within the chapel tomb, and tidying up the place while you’re there.
This guide will serve you step-by-step in your quest to complete Thou Art But Dust in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Walkthrough of Side Quest – Thou Art But Dust…
The grave-tender Brother Morticius can be found outside of Sedletz Monastery and must be spoken with in order to initiate the Thou Art But Dust side quest.
He wishes for someone to help collect the bones found within the chapel and clean up the inside. Luckily for you, this isn’t as time-consuming as it may seem, because the bones can be gathered in stacks same as if you were looking at a normal shelf or chest of loot.
When entering the chapel, be sure to avoid going through the trap door in the center of the room. It’s a one-way door that you will want to go after clearing the first room.
Upon entering the Chapel, you will see how desolate the place has become, with shelves and floors alike littered with barren remains.
You may begin your scavenging and cleaning in any place you’d like, interacting with the piles of bones surrounding the pillars on the floor, and searching the shelves lined with skulls.

This guide is a complete walkthrough for the Hunger and Despair main quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
With the skulls you’ve collected, you must deposit them in the pyramid formations on the floor of the chapel in various spots.
Your inventory may fill very quickly with the remains you gather, so you can begin arranging them in the pillars that Brother Morticus has instructed at any point.
Build of Pyramid of Skulls (0/32)
In the northeast corner of the chapel is a pile of normal skulls. You should have 28 to deposit here.
Build a Pyramid of Cracked Skulls (0/32)
The pyramid in the southeast corner of the chapel is set aside for the cracked skulls. You have 26 to deposit here.
Build A Pyramid of Thigh Bones (0/272)
The remaining pyramid located closest to the main entrance door is for the thigh bones. You should currently possess 239 thigh bones to place here.
With these in place, you will notice that there are a few remains that you are missing. The only other place they could be is in the basement crypt of the chapel behind the trapdoor in the center of the floor.
Beyond the Trapdoor
For the remaining bones, you must interact with the trapdoor, causing you to fall into it. A short cutscene will take control of Henry as you fall down, but fear not, as Brother Morticus tosses a torch down to you.
Your objective is to exit the crypt and pick up all the bones you find along your way.
Go into the large room on the east side of the crypt where there are two piles of bones to loot from.
Following the wall, head into the similarly large room on the south side where there are two more piles, one located directly left of the door and another farther down and again on the left.
The door at the far end that you’ve come across is your exit once you are finished up down in the crypt.
Finally, head to the doorway on the west side where there is another small room with a single pile of bones.

This guide is a complete walkthrough for the Besieged main quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
You can now go through the door mentioned previously at the end of the large room and down the tunnel on the other side. This will take you outside to a door southeast of the chapel.
Back in the chapel, you should have the remaining bones to finish arranging the pyramids. If you picked up any more bones than necessary for the quest, they should be discarded from your inventory automatically after making the deposit for the pyramids.
With all this complete, you should go outside and search the grounds for Brother Morticus. Only, you won’t be able to find him, as it seems he has already passed beyond the veil.
Speaking with the other grave tender outdoors will reveal that Brother Morticus had died many years before Henry apparently spoke to him.
You will receive some Craftsmanship experience upon completing this side quest, and the grave tender commends your work in preserving and cleaning the Chapel and Crypt here at the Sedletz Monastery.
