Your cleanliness level influences their willingness to engage in conversation and can even affect the outcome of quests. A grimy, blood-splattered Henry will struggle to gather information or succeed in persuasion checks, even with high Speech skills, due to the significant debuff to charisma.

Why Do You Need to Be Clean in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

Cleanliness directly impacts how others react to you. A dirty and unkempt appearance will make NPCs less approachable, hindering your ability to gather information vital for quest progression. Furthermore, even high Speech skills are diminished by a significant debuff when you're unclean, making persuasion checks considerably more challenging.

How to Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Fortunately, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* offers several ways to restore Henry's cleanliness. Here are three primary methods:

Troughs

Commonly found in towns and outposts near buildings and stores, troughs provide a quick and easy way to wash away some dirt and blood. However, this method only cleanses Henry's face and doesn't affect the cleanliness of his clothes.

Bathing Spots

Located near larger bodies of water like rivers and ponds (for example, west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region), bathing spots offer a slightly more thorough cleansing than troughs. While they improve cleanliness, they don't achieve a completely clean state.

Bathhouses

For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse. Usually found in larger towns, bathhouses require a small payment in Groschen but provide the most thorough cleansing. A bathhouse visit removes all dirt and blood from Henry and cleans his clothes, leaving him in pristine condition. Regular visits are recommended for maintaining optimal cleanliness.
