Starting the Thou Art But Dust Quest¶
You won’t be able to start working on quests found in the 
Kuttenberg region until you progress Kingdom Come: Deliverance II’s main story a lot. It’s not until after the Storm quest that you’ll reach Kuttenberg for the first time, and even then, you’ll be locked into the introductory main quests of this region before you can begin exploring this vast new expanse.
Once you get access to freely explore, you may want to first consider paying a visit to the Humble Knight in the northeast of the region and begin The Reliquary, this Task takes place in the same area as Thou art but dust… and even one of the objective will have you go and speak to the same questgiver. Regardless of whether you do this or not, head to Sedletz Monastery in the northeast of the region and go into the graveyard, there, you’ll find Brother Morticius who has a rather odd request for you.

Building a Pyramid of Skulls¶
There are three different objectives that require you to gather a large amount of bones and assemble pyramids out of them, inside the temple in front of you. Fortunately, you won’t have to gather each individual bone, as you’ll come across piles of bones that you can loot plenty at once. You will, however, have to make your way down to the crypt to get the total amount of bones required.
Begin by heading into the main room and loot all of the piles of bones both laying around on the floor and on the various shelves in the corner, it’s a good idea to wait until you have all of the required bones to build the pyramid (and being over encumbered doesn’t really matter here as it doesn’t involve too much running about).
When you’re ready to find the remaining bones, examine the trap door in the center to have Henry fall through to the Crypt below. There are more bone piles down here for you to loot, so do so and then find the exit in this relatively small crypt, you’ll find yourself at the other end of the graveyard. Return to the temple and you’ll find three areas where you can build your pyramids. This doesn’t require much effort on your behalf, you can only place the correct bones on their specific pyramids, so go ahead and assemble all three.
(1 of 4) Take all of the bones from the shelves and floor.
All that remains now is to go back outside and look for Brother Morticius, only, he’s seemingly gone missing. Speak to the Gravedigger Lenek standing against a wall nearby who believes Henry may be mistaken, as a Monk named Moriticus died a long time ago. Regardless, he’ll inspect your handywork and be impressed nevertheless, even if no monetary reward is forthcoming. Instead, as a reward, you’ll obtain some Craftsmanship XP.
