Getting Started with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Savior Schnapps

The game autosaves during key story events, when you rest in your bed, or upon exiting. For manual saves, you’ll need Savior Schnapps, a rare alcoholic beverage.

Stock up by purchasing from merchants when funds allow, or brew your own through alchemy for a steady supply. Be cautious: drinking Schnapps while Henry is already intoxicated can push him over the edge.

Locate Mutt

Mutt, your canine companion, is a valuable ally in battles, investigations, and stat boosts through skill upgrades. When the quest to find him arises, prioritize it to maximize his benefits early on.

Negotiate Deals

Haggle every time you buy or sell. Securing better prices saves Groschen, which are especially precious early in the game.

Food Preservation

Food in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 spoils over time. Extend its shelf life by smoking meat in smokehouses or drying other items in cabinets. Herbs and mushrooms for potions also last longer when dried.

Personal Storage

In rented tavern rooms or other rest areas, you’ll find personal chests. Store items in one chest, and access them from any synced chest. This is ideal for offloading heavy or excess gear.

Stolen items stored in these chests lose their stolen status after 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Dress for Success

Your appearance shapes how others perceive Henry. Dirty or tattered clothing leads to poor treatment. Clean up in basins or bathhouses, and use soap at water spots to maintain your gear.

Invest in high-quality clothing for better persuasion or wear armor for intimidation. Use inventory presets to switch outfits for combat, diplomacy, or stealth.

Manage Stamina

Combat rapidly depletes stamina. When your screen grays from exhaustion, retreat to recover. Without stamina, you can’t block, and hits reduce your stamina cap.

Avoid overeating, as it limits stamina. Opponents with better stamina management will outlast Henry in fights.

Master Crafts

Advanced alchemy lets you craft potions like Savior Schnapps quickly, while herb gathering boosts Henry’s Strength. Blacksmithing allows you to forge weapons and horseshoes, but maintain their condition to prevent wear.

Excelling in these crafts yields top-tier items and extra Groschen from sales.

Explore Side Quests

The game’s world brims with side quests as compelling as the main story. Skipping them risks missing rewards, as some become unavailable after certain story milestones.
