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, so understanding them is crucial for survival:

• By eating food or drinking alcohol
• By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
• By sleeping

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

One way to regenerate health after taking damage is by consuming fresh food or alcohol. This method allows your HP to recover over time. However, be cautious: 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 full, you won't be able to eat, leaving you with low health unless you have an alternative healing method.

Drinking alcohol can also heal you, but it comes with the risk of getting Drunk. While this might seem detrimental, certain perks can provide benefits even when you're under the influence.

Using a Potion

Similar to the first game, you can heal by brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion. This requires gathering the necessary materials and brewing the potion yourself. Always keep some on hand to ensure you're prepared for combat.

Sleeping

Restoring health through sleep is another option, though it's not always straightforward. You can't just sleep in any bed, as doing so in a stranger's bed can be reported as a crime unless you can persuade them otherwise. Look for campsites and hay beds in the open world, but remember that the quality of sleep from these won't match 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, during the main quest leading to the wedding, you can visit the miller or blacksmith to secure a job and a bed.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

Bleeding is a serious condition in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. If you suffer significant slash damage, you may receive a Bleeding debuff, which drains your HP and hampers your combat abilities. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to treat Henry and remove the debuff.

By mastering these healing methods, you'll be better equipped to survive and thrive in the challenging world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
