Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for replenishing health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

  • Consuming food and drink
  • Utilizing Marigold Decoction potions
  • Resting and sleeping
  • Applying bandages to stop bleeding

While seemingly simple, these methods have nuances that impact their effectiveness.

Food, Drink, and the Nourishment System

Eating food or drinking alcohol gradually restores health. However, exceeding 100% nourishment results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, consuming food when already full is impossible, highlighting the importance of managing your nourishment levels. Alcohol offers a healing benefit but carries the risk of intoxication. Fortunately, perks can mitigate the negative effects of being drunk.

Potion Use: The Marigold Decoction

As in the previous game, the Marigold Decoction is a potent healing potion. Remember to gather the necessary ingredients and brew the potion beforehand to ensure a readily available supply.

Rest and Recuperation: The Importance of Sleep

Resting and sleeping effectively restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may lead to accusations of trespassing. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, inns provide superior quality sleep. Early in the game, consider taking on jobs from the miller or blacksmith to secure a bed.

Treating Bleeding Wounds

Significant slashing damage can inflict the "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining health and hindering combat effectiveness. Immediately apply a bandage from your inventory to mitigate this debilitating effect.
