Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist to replenish health:

  • Consuming food or alcohol
  • Utilizing Marigold Decoction potions
  • Resting or sleeping
  • Applying bandages to staunch bleeding

While seemingly straightforward, these methods have nuances:

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol gradually restores health. However, consuming food when already full (100% Nourishment) results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Similarly, alcohol consumption, while healing, can induce a "Drunk" status. Fortunately, perks can mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

Brewing and consuming Marigold Decoction potions provides a direct health boost. Remember to gather the necessary ingredients and keep a supply on hand.

Rest and Sleep

Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may lead to legal repercussions. Campsites and hay beds offer less restorative sleep than beds in inns. Prioritize securing a bed at an inn, especially at night. Early in the game, consider utilizing the miller's or blacksmith's lodgings as part of the main questline.

Treating Bleeding Wounds

Significant slashing damage can inflict a "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining health and hindering combat effectiveness. Immediately apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
