What Should You Know Before Starting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is an expansive RPG where the world and its mechanics are intricately woven together, creating a living, breathing environment.

Savior Schnapps

While the game automatically saves during key story moments, when you sleep, or when you exit, you'll need Savior Schnapps to save manually. This alcoholic concoction isn't always easy to find, but you can buy it from merchants if you have enough Groschen. Alternatively, brewing it yourself through alchemy is a more reliable method. Remember, though, consuming Savior Schnapps can increase Henry's intoxication level, so use it wisely if he's already had a few drinks.

Find Mutt

Mutt, the loyal canine companion, is invaluable in combat, detective work, and can even enhance your stats through his skill tree. When you have the chance to search for him during a quest, seize it immediately to benefit from his assistance throughout your journey.

Bargain

Don't settle for the first price offered when trading goods. Negotiating can often secure you a better deal, and every Groschen counts, especially early in your adventure.

Drying and Smoking

Food spoilage is a real concern in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. To preserve your sustenance, smoke meat in smokehouses and dry other foods in drying cabinets. This also applies to herbs and mushrooms, which you'll need for potions; drying them extends their usability.

Personal Chest

In rented tavern rooms or other sleeping locations, you'll find a personal chest. These chests are synchronized, allowing you to store items in one and retrieve them from another. It's an excellent way to manage heavy or unnecessary items. Additionally, placing stolen items in your personal chest will eventually clear their stolen status, taking between 3 to 12 days depending on the item's value.

Appearance Matters

In the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your appearance impacts how NPCs interact with you. A dirty, poorly dressed Henry won't be taken seriously. Use basins or bathhouses to clean yourself and your clothes, and repair or upgrade your wardrobe. Different outfits can influence persuasion, intimidation, or even stealth, so utilize the preset options in your inventory to switch between them as needed.

Monitor Your Stamina

Combat in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* can drain your stamina rapidly. When your vision starts graying out, it's time to retreat and recover. Without stamina, you can't block attacks, and each hit taken will reduce your maximum stamina further. Also, avoid overeating, as it can lower your stamina cap, making you more vulnerable in fights.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing

Delving into alchemy allows you to craft potions, including the essential Savior Schnapps, and even boosts Henry's Strength through herb gathering. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and don't forget to keep your weapons sharp to prevent degradation. Mastering these crafts not only enhances your gear but can also be a lucrative source of Groschen.
