Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts how NPCs perceive you, influencing dialogue options and quest outcomes. Neglecting cleanliness results in penalties to speech and charisma, hindering your ability to succeed in persuasion checks.
Here's how to keep Henry spotless:
Why Cleanliness Matters:
A dirty and disheveled Henry will face difficulties interacting with townsfolk. Even high Speech skills are hampered by poor hygiene, making successful persuasion significantly harder.
Cleaning Methods:
The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself:
Troughs:
Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs provide a basic clean. Interact with them to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothing.
Bathing Spots:
Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both Henry and his clothes, though not completely. An example is found west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region.
Bathhouses:
For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse (usually in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses provide the most thorough clean, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothing. Regular visits are recommended for optimal results.
