Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

There are several methods to heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Here's a breakdown of each approach:

  • By eating food or drinking alcohol
  • By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
  • By sleeping

While these methods might seem straightforward, they come with their own nuances and requirements.

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

When you're injured, you can regain health over time by consuming fresh food or alcohol. However, keep in mind that if your Nourishment is already at 100, further eating will only result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. If Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat more, leaving you vulnerable if you don't have alternative healing options.

Drinking alcohol can also restore health, but it comes with the risk of becoming Drunk. While this might sound detrimental, certain perks can offer benefits even in this state, making it a viable option under the right circumstances.

Using a Potion

Similar to its predecessor, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* allows you to heal by brewing and consuming a Marigold Decoction potion. This method requires you to gather the necessary materials and brew the potion yourself, making it essential to always have some in your inventory.

Sleeping

Rest and sleep can also restore your health. However, finding a suitable place to sleep can be tricky. Sleeping in someone else's bed without permission is considered a crime unless you can persuade them otherwise. You can find campsites and hay beds in the open world, but they won't provide as restful a sleep as a proper bed.

For the best rest, consider renting a bed at an inn, especially at night. Early in the game, you can also visit the miller or blacksmith during the main quest to secure a job and a bed of your own.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you can suffer from bleeding if you take significant slash damage. This Bleeding debuff not only drains your health but also hampers your combat effectiveness. To stop the bleeding, apply a Bandage from your inventory to remove the debuff and stabilize your condition.
