**How to Find the Key to the Locked Cellar Door During the Anamnesis Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2**
During the Anamnesis quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you will explore a cellar and eventually encounter a locked door blocking your progress. To proceed, you need to find the cellar key. However, the game doesn’t provide a straightforward clue on where to find it. Here’s a detailed guide to help you locate the key and advance the quest.
### Step 1: Talk to Zdenyek
First, head to the north end of the monastery grounds and find Zdenyek. Initiate a conversation with him about Blazhena. During the talk, Zdenyek will reveal that he suspected Blazhena of stealing food from the pantry — a place only he and Blazhena had keys to. He even contemplated getting rid of her before she became ill. Zdenyek will ask you to promise not to share his suspicions with anyone.
### Step 2: Speak with Valerie and Investigate Blazhena’s Room
Next, find Valerie, the blonde maid, who is nearby. However, if you talk to Valerie right away, she will refuse to speak in front of Zdenyek. So instead, head to check Blazhena’s room first.
Blazhena shares her chamber with Valerie, located in a small building at the top of the courtyard. Enter through the back right door and go upstairs. Blazhena’s bed is the one nearest the window. At the foot of the bed, you will find a chest containing a large amount of money — suspiciously much for a maid.
Look carefully and grab the pantry key from a shelf near the head of her bed. After that, return to Valerie.
### Step 3: Valerie’s Revelation
Once you have the pantry key, Valerie will open up. She admits that she witnessed Zdenyek taking something from Blazhena’s chest and being harsh with the girl. She also tells you about a nearby cellar that Zdenyek often visits. This cellar will now be marked on your map and turns out to be the pantry.
### Step 4: Investigate the Pantry Cellar
Go to the pantry and thoroughly explore all three rooms within. Examine everything — wine barrels, tubs of water, and crates. Some rooms may require you to pick locks to gain entry.
After investigating extensively, Henry will realize that Zdenyek has been watering down the monastery’s wine.
### Step 5: Confront Zdenyek
With this new information, confront Zdenyek. He will suggest going to a nearby field for a private conversation, giving you the choice to accept or refuse.
> **Tip:** It’s beneficial to agree to go with him if you want to obtain a weapon.
In the field, Zdenyek will attempt to attack you. Defeat him in combat, and when he surrenders, demand his axe. He will also hand over the key to the locked cellar door — the very key he took from Blazhena’s chest.
### Step 6: Unlock the Secret Door
With the key in your possession, return to the main cellar where you found the locked door. Now, you can unlock it and continue your investigation to progress in the Anamnesis quest.

By following these steps, you’ll successfully find the key to the locked cellar door and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the monastery in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Happy adventuring!
