Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you have several methods to heal and restore your health, each with its own nuances and requirements. Here’s a detailed look at each option:
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
After taking damage, you can gradually restore your HP by consuming fresh food or drinking alcohol. However, be cautious: if your Nourishment level is already at 100, eating more food will only result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. Moreover, if Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat more, leaving you vulnerable unless you have alternative healing methods.
Drinking alcohol can also heal you, but it comes with the risk of getting Drunk. While this might sound detrimental, certain perks can turn this condition into a beneficial one, enhancing your gameplay.
Using a Potion
Similar to the first game, you can restore health by brewing and consuming a Marigold Decoction potion. Remember, you'll need to gather the necessary materials and brew the potion yourself. Always keep some on hand to ensure you're prepared for any combat situation.
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 bed without permission, or it might be considered a crime unless you can persuade the owner otherwise.
You can find campsites and hay beds in the open world, but they won't offer the same quality of rest as a proper bed. For the best results, consider paying for a night at an inn. If you're early in the game and involved in the wedding quest, you might also get a job and a bed from the miller or blacksmith.
Using Bandages for Bleeding
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, bleeding out is a significant risk. If you sustain heavy slash damage, you may receive a Bleeding debuff, which drains your HP and severely hampers your combat effectiveness. To counteract this, use a Bandage from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
And that’s how you heal up and restore health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
