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

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a massive RPG with intricate systems. Even seasoned RPG players might find its mechanics unique. This guide will help you navigate the complexities. Let's begin with the unusual save system.

Savior Schnapps

The game autosaves at key story points, after sleeping, and when you quit. For manual saves, you'll need Savior Schnapps – a potent alcoholic beverage not readily available. Stock up by purchasing it from merchants (if you can afford it) or by brewing it yourself using alchemy. Remember, excessive consumption can lead to critical intoxication levels when using Schnapps to save.

Find Mutt

Mutt, your canine companion, is invaluable in combat, investigations, and even boosts your stats. Seek him out as soon as a quest allows; don't miss out on his assistance.

Bargain

Always haggle when buying or selling. Even small price reductions add up, especially early in the game.

Learn from Teachers

Invest in training, particularly sword fighting lessons at the Gypsy Camp. Don't hesitate to spend Groschen on skill improvement.

Drying and Smoking

Food spoils, so preserve it. Smoke meat in smokehouses and dry other food in drying cabinets. This also extends the shelf life of herbs and mushrooms vital for potions.

Personal Chest

Use personal chests in rented rooms or designated locations. Items stored in one chest are accessible from any other synchronized chest. This is ideal for storing heavy or unwanted items. Stolen items placed in a chest will eventually become unflagged (3-12 days depending on value).

Appearance Matters

Your appearance affects how NPCs treat you. Clean yourself, repair or replace clothes. Well-dressed Henry can be perceived as a nobleman, while dirty or armored Henry inspires fear. Use outfit presets for different situations.

Monitor Your Stamina

Stamina depletes rapidly during combat. When your screen grays, retreat and rest. Low stamina hinders blocking, and taking hits reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it lowers maximum stamina.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing

Mastering alchemy allows for quick potion creation, including Savior Schnapps. Herb gathering also boosts Strength. Blacksmithing enables weapon and horseshoe creation. Sharpen weapons regularly to prevent degradation. Profit from selling your creations.

Side Quests

Explore side quests; many are as engaging as the main storyline. Some side quests become unavailable after certain story events, so don't miss out.

Ultimately, play as you wish to maximize your enjoyment. This guide provides options; your choices shape your unique journey.
