Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
There are several methods to heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Here's a breakdown of each approach:
- By eating food or drinking alcohol
- By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
- By sleeping
While these methods might seem straightforward, they can be tricky to execute effectively, especially under certain conditions. Let's dive deeper into each method.
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
When you're injured, you can slowly regenerate your health by consuming fresh food or alcohol. However, be cautious: if your Nourishment is already at 100, eating more will give you the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. If Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat at all, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless you have another way to heal.
Alcohol can also help you heal, but it comes with a risk of getting Drunk. This isn't always a bad thing, as certain perks can provide benefits even when you're intoxicated.
Using a Potion
Similar to the first game, you can heal by brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion. You'll need to gather the necessary materials and keep some potions on hand for emergencies.
Sleeping
Rest and sleep are another way to restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, finding a place to sleep can be challenging. You can't just use any stranger's bed without risking a crime report, unless you can smooth-talk your way out of it.
While campsites and hay beds in the open world can provide some rest, they won't offer the same quality of sleep as a proper bed. For the best results, consider paying for a night at an inn. Early in the game, you can also visit the miller or blacksmith as part of the main quest to secure a job and a bed.
Using Bandages for Bleeding
Another important aspect to consider is bleeding. If you suffer significant slash damage, you may get a Bleeding debuff, which not only drains your health but also hampers your combat effectiveness. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to treat Henry and remove the debuff.
That's how you can heal up and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
