During the Anamnesis quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, while searching the cellar, you may encounter a locked door blocking your progress. To proceed, you need to find the key to this door.

### Step 1: Talk to Zdenyek
First, head to the north end of the monastery grounds and find Zdenyek. Engage him in conversation and ask about Blazhena. Zdenyek will reveal that he suspected Blazhena of stealing food since only the two of them had keys to the pantry where the food was stored. He even planned to get rid of her before she fell ill. Zdenyek will then ask you to promise not to tell anyone about his suspicions.

### Step 2: Talk to Valerie and Check Blazhena’s Room
Next, speak to Valerie, the blonde maid nearby. If you speak to her first, she’ll mention that she doesn’t want to talk while Zdenyek is around, so it’s best to check Blazhena’s room first.
Blazhena shares a room with Valerie in a small building at the top of the courtyard. Enter through the door on the back right and go upstairs. Blazhena’s bed is nearest to the window. Check the chest at the foot of the bed—it contains a large amount of money, suspicious for a maid.
Near the head of the bed, you’ll find the pantry key on a shelf. Take the key, then return to Valerie.

### Step 3: Valerie’s Revelations and Pantry Investigation
Valerie will tell you she witnessed Zdenyek taking something from Blazhena’s chest and behaving harshly toward her. She will also mention a nearby cellar that Zdenyek frequently visits, which will be marked on your map as the pantry.
Go to the pantry and thoroughly explore all three rooms. Examine the wine barrels, tubs of water, and crates. Some areas might require you to pick locks to gain entry.
After investigating enough, Henry will realize that Zdenyek has been watering down the monastery’s wine.

### Step 4: Confront Zdenyek
With this knowledge, confront Zdenyek. He’ll ask to speak privately in a nearby field. You can choose to go with him or not, but it’s recommended to accept if you want a weapon.
In the field, Zdenyek will attempt to attack you. Defeat him in combat, and once he surrenders, demand his axe. He will also give up the key to the locked door in the cellar—the same key he took from Blazhena’s chest.

### Step 5: Unlock the Cellar Door and Continue the Quest
With the cellar door key in hand, return to the main cellar where you first found the locked door. You can now unlock it and continue investigating the secrets hidden beyond.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to find the cellar key and unravel the mystery within the monastery during the Anamnesis quest. Happy hunting!
