After searching the cellar during the **Anamnesis** quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you will come across a locked door that blocks your progress. The next step is to find the cellar key, but there is no immediate clue as to where to look. Here’s a detailed guide on where to find the key and how to proceed.

### Where to Find the Cellar Door Key

To obtain the cellar door key, you need to speak with **Zdenyek**, who can be found at the north end of the monastery grounds. Start a conversation with him about **Blazhena**. Zdenyek will reveal that he suspected Blazhena of stealing food, as only the two of them had keys to the pantry where the food was stored. He admits that he was planning to get rid of her before she fell ill.

Zdenyek will ask you to promise not to tell anyone about his suspicions.

### Talking to Valerie and Checking Blazhena’s Room

Next, speak with **Valerie**, the blonde maid located nearby. If you approach Valerie first, she will say she doesn’t want to talk in front of Zdenyek. Due to this, head to check Blazhena’s room instead, which she shares with Valerie.

Blazhena’s room is inside a small building at the top of the courtyard. Enter the door on the back right and go up the stairs. Blazhena’s bed is closest to the window. Check the chest at the foot of her bed — you’ll find a large stash of money, much more than what a maid should have.

On a shelf near the head of the bed, you will find the pantry key. Take it before returning to Valerie.

### Valerie’s Witness Account and the Pantry Investigation

Valerie will then reveal that she saw Zdenyek taking something from Blazhena’s chest and being harsh with her. She also mentions a nearby cellar Zdenyek frequently visits, which is in fact the pantry. This location will be marked on your map.

Go to the pantry and explore all three rooms inside. Investigate wine barrels, tubs of water, and crates. Be prepared to do some lockpicking to access some areas.

After thorough investigation, Henry (your character) will realize that Zdenyek has been diluting the monastery’s wine.

### Confronting Zdenyek and Getting the Cellar Key

Return to Zdenyek and confront him about the wine tampering. He will ask to speak privately in a nearby field.

At this point, you’ll either pass or fail the conversation check. It’s worth choosing to go with him if you want to obtain a weapon.

In the field, Zdenyek attempts to attack you. Defeat him in combat, and once he submits, demand his axe. Additionally, he will hand over the key to the locked door in the cellar — the very key he took from Blazhena’s chest.

With the key in hand, you can now return to the main cellar and investigate the secret door you found earlier.
