In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse array of NPCs, each with their own unique behaviors and intentions. One such character is the Wandering Drunk, and if you're unsure about how to handle him, here's everything you need to know.
The Wandering Drunk can be found in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, slightly off the beaten path. As you journey north, a herdsman will alert you to the presence of a dangerous vagabond in the area. Upon reaching the barn, you'll spot a Beggar NPC sitting outside, who will turn hostile if you approach too closely. Interaction seems limited to combat; you can either kill him or knock him out.
After dealing with him, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Exploring the barn further may yield additional items that you can sell or use later.
The game doesn't provide any specific information about the Wandering Drunk's identity. However, he might be reminiscent of a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who also lost everything and became a vagabond without any associated quests. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk lost his home and family, and the keys you find on him likely belonged to his former residence, serving as mere flavor to his backstory.
In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, many NPCs carry keys that have no clear purpose, suggesting that the keys found on the Wandering Drunk are similarly inconsequential.
