Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
There are several methods to heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Each method has its own nuances, so it's important to understand them thoroughly:
- By eating food or drinking alcohol
- By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
- By sleeping
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
When you're injured, you can gradually regenerate your health by consuming fresh food or alcohol. However, be cautious as overeating when your Nourishment is at 100 will result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. If Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat more, potentially leaving you with low health unless you have alternative healing methods.
Drinking alcohol can heal you but may also leave you Drunk. While this might seem detrimental, certain perks can provide benefits even in this state, making it a viable option in some scenarios.
Using a Potion
Similar to the original game, you can heal by brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion. This requires gathering the necessary materials and brewing the potion yourself, so it's essential to always have some on hand.
Sleeping
Restoring health through sleep is another option in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, finding a suitable place to sleep can be tricky. Sleeping in someone else's bed without permission can lead to legal trouble unless you can persuade them otherwise. Look for campsites or hay beds in the open world, though these won't provide as restful a sleep as a proper bed.
For the best rest, consider paying for a bed at an inn during nighttime. 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
Bleeding out is a risk in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, particularly after taking significant slash damage, which can lead to a Bleeding debuff. This debuff not only drains your health but also hampers your combat abilities. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to treat Henry and remove the debuff.
These are the key ways to heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
