Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
There are several methods to heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Each method has its own nuances and conditions that you need to be aware of:
- By eating food or drinking alcohol
- By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
- By sleeping
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
After taking damage, you can regenerate your lost HP over time by consuming fresh food or drinking alcohol. However, if your Nourishment is already at 100, eating more food will only result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. Additionally, if Henry is already full, you won't be able to consume food, leaving you with low health unless you have alternative methods to restore HP.
Drinking alcohol can be an effective way to heal, but it comes with the risk of becoming Drunk. Fortunately, you can unlock perks that offer benefits even in this state, mitigating some of the negative effects.
Using a Potion
Similar to the first game, brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion is another way to heal. Remember, you'll need to gather the necessary materials and brew the potion yourself, ensuring you always have some on hand for emergencies.
Sleeping
Rest and sleep are vital for restoring health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, you can't simply sleep in any bed; doing so in someone else's bed without permission can be reported as a crime unless you can persuade them otherwise.
You can find campsites and hay beds in the open world, but the quality of rest they provide isn't as good as that of a proper bed. For the best rest, consider paying for a bed at a nearby 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, which results in a Bleeding debuff. This debuff not only drains your HP but also severely impacts your combat effectiveness. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to wrap Henry and remove the debuff.
