In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, surviving is no easy feat, with numerous threats lurking around every corner, including the debilitating effects of food poisoning. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to cure and prevent this ailment to keep Henry in fighting shape.
Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To cure food poisoning in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry must take a digestive potion. This is the only remedy available, and attempting to wait out the symptoms can lead to Henry's demise. You have two options to obtain this essential potion:
- Purchase: Digestive potions are readily available for purchase from apothecaries in various locations such as Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads’ Camp. They are reasonably priced in groschen, making them an accessible solution during emergencies.
- Brew Your Own: For a more sustainable approach, you can buy the recipe from an apothecary and brew the potion yourself. This method allows you to prepare multiple potions, ensuring you're always equipped to combat food poisoning. To brew a digestive potion, you'll need:
- 2 thistles
- 2 nettles
- Water
- 1 charcoal
- Add both thistles to a cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
- Grind the nettles with a pestle and mortar, add them to the cauldron, and boil for one turn.
- Grind the charcoal and add it to the cauldron.
- Pour the potion into a vial.
Follow these steps to brew:
Bozhena’s hut is the ideal location for brewing potions without interruptions, as using alchemy stations at other apothecaries might provoke the shopkeepers.
What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
