Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, some friendly, others hostile, can leave you questioning their motives. This guide clarifies how to handle the Wandering Drunk.
Locating the Wandering Drunk
The Wandering Drunk resides in a dilapidated barn slightly north of Semine, off the main pathways. A herdsman nearby will warn you of a potentially aggressive vagrant in the area. Approaching the barn, you'll find a beggar NPC outside; he'll turn hostile if you get too close. Currently, there's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeating him yields a gemstone ring, keys, and a small amount of groschen. The barn itself also contains lootable items.
The Mystery of the Keys
The game offers no explanation regarding the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be a nod to a similar beggar from the first game, a character with no associated quests. It's plausible he's simply a lost soul, and the keys likely belonged to his former home, serving only as a narrative detail.
Many NPCs carry keys with no discernible purpose; the Wandering Drunk's keys likely fall into this category.
