Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Restoring health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 involves several methods:
- Consuming food and alcohol
- Drinking Marigold Decoction potions
- Sleeping
While seemingly simple, the effectiveness of each method depends on various factors.
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
Replenishing HP is possible by eating food or drinking alcohol. However, consuming food when your Nourishment is already full results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, if Henry is already full, he can't eat at all, leaving you vulnerable. Alcohol offers a healing benefit, but it can also lead to the "Drunk" debuff. While this might seem negative, certain perks can mitigate its downsides.
Using a Potion
As in the first game, brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion provides a reliable healing method. Remember to gather the necessary ingredients and keep a supply on hand.
Sleeping
Resting and sleeping restores health. However, sleeping isn't always convenient. Sleeping in a stranger's bed might be considered a crime unless you can talk your way out of it. While campsites and hay beds offer some rest, a proper bed in an inn provides superior healing. Early in the game, consider taking jobs from the miller or blacksmith to secure a bed.
Using Bandages for Bleeding
Severe slash damage can inflict the "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining HP and hindering combat. Use bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove this debilitating effect.
