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 and conditions, so understanding them is crucial for survival:

  • By eating food or drinking alcohol
  • By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
  • By sleeping

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

One way to regenerate health after taking damage is by consuming fresh food or alcohol. This method allows your HP to recover over time. However, be cautious: if your Nourishment is already at 100, eating more will result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. Additionally, if Henry is full, you won't be able to eat, leaving you with low health unless you have alternative healing methods.

Drinking alcohol can also heal you, but it comes with the risk of getting Drunk. While this might seem detrimental, certain perks can provide benefits even when you're under the influence.

Using a Potion

Similar to the first game, brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion is another effective way to heal. You'll need to gather the necessary materials and brew the potion yourself, ensuring you always have some on hand for emergencies.

Sleeping

Resting and sleeping is another way to restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, finding a suitable place to sleep can be tricky. You can't just use any stranger's bed without risking a crime report, unless you can persuade them otherwise. Look for campsites or hay beds in the open world, though they won't provide the same quality of rest as a proper bed.

For the best rest, consider paying for a bed at a nearby inn, especially at night. If you're early in the game and working towards the wedding, you can visit the miller or blacksmith as part of the main quest to secure a job and a bed.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you can also suffer from bleeding if you take significant slash damage, which leads to the Bleeding debuff. This not only drains your HP but also hampers your combat abilities. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to treat Henry and remove the debuff.

That's how you can heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
