Healing Basics in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers several health restoration methods, each with its own considerations:
- Consuming food or alcohol
- Drinking Marigold Decoction potions
- Getting proper sleep
While these methods appear straightforward, their effectiveness depends on various conditions that we'll examine in detail.
Sustenance Through Food and Drink
Consuming fresh food or alcoholic beverages can gradually restore lost health points. However, exceeding 100 Nourishment triggers the Overfed debuff, reducing your maximum stamina. Once Henry reaches full capacity, you'll be unable to consume more food, potentially leaving you vulnerable without alternative healing options.
Alcohol consumption carries the Drunk status effect, which isn't necessarily detrimental - certain unlocked perks can actually provide benefits while intoxicated.
Medicinal Potions
Like its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 allows healing through Marigold Decoction potions. Prepare accordingly by gathering ingredients and brewing potions in advance to ensure you're never caught unprepared.
Recovery Through Rest
Sleep remains a reliable healing method, though location restrictions apply. Sleeping in unauthorized beds may be reported as criminal activity unless you successfully persuade the owner. While makeshift campsites and hay beds exist throughout the world, they offer inferior rest quality compared to proper beds.
Early in the game, prioritise obtaining beds through main quests (like attending the wedding) or invest in inn accommodations. Completing tasks for the miller or blacksmith can secure you a permanent sleeping arrangement.
Treating Bleeding Wounds
Slash wounds may inflict the dangerous Bleeding status, which continuously drains health and significantly weakens combat performance. Always carry Bandages in your inventory to stop bleeding immediately.
