Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
There are several methods to heal and restore your health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, each with its own set of conditions and effects. Let's dive into the details of each method:
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
One of the simplest ways to regenerate health after taking damage is by consuming fresh food or drinking alcohol. This method allows you to recover lost HP over time, but it's important to manage your Nourishment level. If your Nourishment is already at 100, eating more food will result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. Additionally, if Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat at all, leaving you vulnerable unless you have alternative healing methods.
While alcohol can help you heal, it also risks leaving you Drunk. However, this isn't necessarily a drawback, as certain perks can provide benefits even when you're under the influence.
Using a Potion
Similar to the first game, brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion is another effective way to heal. You'll need to gather the necessary materials and brew the potion yourself, so it's wise to always keep some on hand for emergencies.
Sleeping
Restoring health through sleep is another option, but it comes with its own set of challenges. You can't just sleep in any bed you find; doing so in someone else's bed without permission can lead to criminal charges unless you can smooth-talk your way out of it. While you can use campsites and hay beds in the open world, the quality of sleep won't be as restorative as a proper bed.
For the best results, consider paying for a bed at a nearby inn, especially at night. If you're early in the game and heading to the wedding, you can also visit the miller or blacksmith as part of the main quest to secure a job and a bed.
Using Bandages for Bleeding
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, bleeding can be a serious issue. If you sustain significant slash damage, you may receive a Bleeding debuff, which drains your HP and hampers your combat abilities. To counteract this, use a Bandage from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
