Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for restoring health:

• Consuming food or alcohol.
• Using a Marigold Decoction.
• Sleeping.

These methods, while seemingly straightforward, have nuances:

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food replenishes HP over time. However, consuming food when your Nourishment is already full results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, you can't eat when fully satiated, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless alternative healing options are available. While alcohol can heal, it also induces the "Drunk" debuff. However, certain perks mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

As in the first game, the Marigold Decoction is a potent healing potion. Remember to gather ingredients and brew it proactively.

Rest and Sleep

Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations might lead to criminal charges unless resolved through dialogue. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep and subsequent health restoration is inferior to a proper bed in an inn. Prioritize paying for a bed at an inn, especially at night. Early-game quests, such as those involving the miller or blacksmith, might provide temporary lodging.

Treating Bleeding

Severe slash damage can inflict the "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining HP and hindering combat effectiveness. Apply bandages from your inventory to stop bleeding and remove the debuff.
