Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, some friendly, others hostile, can leave you questioning their motives. This guide focuses on the Wandering Drunk.
Locating the Wandering Drunk
The Wandering Drunk resides in a derelict barn situated north of Semine, slightly off the main pathways. A herdsman nearby will warn you of a potentially aggressive vagrant in the area. Approaching the barn, you'll find a beggar NPC outside; he'll turn hostile if you get too close. Currently, there's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeating him yields a gemstone ring, keys, and a small amount of Groschen. The barn itself also contains lootable items.
The Mystery of the Keys
The game offers no backstory for the Wandering Drunk. He might be a nod to a similar beggar from the first game, a character with no associated quests. It's plausible his keys belonged to a former home, included simply for narrative depth. Many NPCs in the game carry keys with no apparent use, suggesting the same is true for the Wandering Drunk.
