In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quest "A Good Scrub" sets you on a path that involves several bathhouse-related tasks, culminating in the search for a flea-infested item for Betty. Here’s a detailed guide on how to navigate this quest and successfully locate the item you need.
Pick Up 'A Good Scrub'
Your journey begins with Betty, the owner of the southeast bathhouse in Kuttenberg. You can start the quest by speaking with her after inquiring about work from the innkeeper. Once you express your interest in working for her, she will send you to Grund to find Matsek. Matsek, apprehensive about being seen with the girls he's supposed to escort to the bathhouse, can be found in a courtyard. Approach the three girls at the table, inform them that you're there on Betty's behalf, and accompany them back to Kuttenberg.
Promote the Bathhouse
Upon returning with the girls, Betty will ask you to help promote the bathhouse by spreading the word to potential customers. You'll work with Betty to craft the perfect pitch and then shout it out at various locations including the grain market, horse market, vintners’ street, and merchants’ street. Remember, this promotion must be done during the day, so if it's evening, you'll need to wait until morning.
Clean Up the Bathhouse and Finish 'A Good Scrub'
After promoting the bathhouse, you'll need to clean it up before the alderman comes for an inspection. Timely completion of these tasks is crucial; failure to do so can result in the bathhouse being shut down, preventing you from picking up the subsequent quest, "Ill Repute."
Finding Fleas for 'Ill Repute' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Once the bathhouse passes the inspection, speak with Betty again. She will inform you about the council's decision to determine the main bathhouse in the city. Your goal is to make the councillor leave the competing bathhouse. Start by gathering information from Meaty Mary, Katcha, and Little Lida about the councillor's dislikes.
To sabotage the competing bathhouse, you'll need to add Chamomile Brew to the wine cask on the second floor. Additionally, to learn about the councillor's preference for fragrant oils, you'll need to provide Little Lida with a noblewoman's dress from a tailor. You can also lockpick a cabinet on the third floor to steal the oils.
For the flea-infested item, head to the east gate of Kuttenberg City. There, you'll find a small camp of beggars. Search the sacks in this area to find a flea-infested blanket, which is essential for your quest.
Once you have the flea-infested blanket, return to the competing bathhouse and go to the same room where you added the Chamomile Brew. When no one is watching, interact with the baskets in the room and pour the fleas into Councillor Naaz’s laundry basket and the clean laundry basket.
If you struggle to find the flea-infested item, remember that completing just one of the three sabotage tasks will be enough to make the councillor leave, allowing you to complete the quest and move on to others like "Axe from the Lake."
