Savior Schnapps
The game automatically saves at key story moments, when you sleep in your bed, or when you quit. However, to save at any time, you'll need Savior Schnapps, a scarce alcoholic drink. You can purchase it from merchants if you have the funds, or brew it yourself using alchemy. Remember, consuming Schnapps can increase Henry's intoxication level, so use it wisely.

Drying and Smoking
Food spoilage is a real concern in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Preserve meat by smoking it in smokehouses and other foods by drying them in cabinets. Herbs and mushrooms for potions also benefit from drying, extending their usability.

Personal Chest
In rented tavern rooms or other sleeping locations, you'll find a personal chest. Items stored in one chest can be accessed from any other personal chest, providing a convenient way to manage your inventory. Stolen items placed in these chests will lose their stolen status after 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters
Your appearance significantly impacts how NPCs interact with you. Maintain hygiene by washing in basins or bathhouses, and keep your clothes clean and repaired. Different outfits serve various purposes—dress as a knight for battle, tidy up for important conversations, or go incognito for stealth missions. Use the preset option in your inventory to switch outfits quickly.

Monitor Your Stamina
Stamina is crucial in combat. When your screen grays out from exhaustion, retreat to recover. Without stamina, you can't block attacks, and taking hits reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it lowers your stamina cap, and be mindful of opponents who tire more slowly than Henry.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Mastering alchemy allows you to craft essential potions like Savior Schnapps and boosts Henry's Strength through herb gathering. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and remember to sharpen your weapons to prevent degradation. Crafting the best potions and weapons not only enhances your gameplay but also provides a lucrative source of Groschen.
