Healing Methods
Several options exist for restoring health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:
- Consuming food and drink
- Utilizing Marigold Decoction potions
- Resting and sleeping
- Applying bandages to staunch bleeding
The effectiveness of each method depends on various factors, detailed below.
Food, Drink, and the Overfed Debuff
Eating food or drinking alcohol replenishes HP over time. However, exceeding 100% Nourishment triggers the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. When full, consuming additional food becomes impossible, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless alternative healing methods are available. While alcohol offers healing, it also induces a "Drunk" status. Fortunately, perks can mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.
Potion Brewing and Usage
As in the previous game, Marigold Decoction potions provide a potent healing solution. Remember to gather the necessary ingredients and brew the potion beforehand to ensure a ready supply.
Rest and Sleep
Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may result in a crime report unless you can persuade the owner otherwise. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep (and thus healing) is inferior to a proper bed in an inn. Prioritize paying for a bed, especially at night. Early game quests, such as those involving the miller or blacksmith, often provide temporary lodging.
Treating Bleeding Wounds
Significant slash damage can inflict the "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining HP and hindering combat effectiveness. Immediately apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
By mastering these techniques, you'll be better equipped to handle the challenges of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Consult The Escapist for further game tips and information.
