How to Cure Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In the unforgiving world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, even the simplest actions can have deadly consequences. Food poisoning is a real threat, but thankfully, it's curable. Here's how to avoid a gruesome end and keep Henry alive.

Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To counteract the effects of food poisoning, Henry needs a digestive potion. There's no other way around it; waiting it out is a recipe for disaster.

Acquiring a digestive potion is straightforward. You can purchase one from most apothecaries. The NPCs in Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads' Camp are reliable sources, selling them for a modest price.

However, a more sustainable approach is to learn the recipe and brew your own potions. This ensures you're always prepared for unexpected bouts of food poisoning. The recipe requires two thistles, two nettles, water, and one charcoal. The process is as follows:

1. Add both thistles to a cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
2. Grind the nettles using a pestle and mortar, then add them to the cauldron and boil for one turn.
3. Grind the charcoal and add it to the cauldron.
4. Finally, pour the potion.

Note: Bozhena's hut offers a peaceful alchemy station; using those at other apothecaries might upset the shopkeepers.

What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Understanding the cause of food poisoning is crucial for prevention. The primary culprit is consuming spoiled food. Always check the "Freshness" meter on your consumable items in your inventory. A red meter indicates a high risk of food poisoning; only eat items with a white meter.

To mitigate spoilage, consider utilizing perks that slow down food decay, or preserving your food through cooking or drying.
