Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

There are several methods to heal and restore health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Here's a rundown of each:

By eating food or drinking alcohol
By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
By sleeping

While these methods might seem straightforward, they can be tricky if the conditions aren't ideal. Let's dive deeper into each one.

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

When you're injured, consuming fresh food or drinking alcohol can help regenerate your lost HP over time. However, be cautious: if your Nourishment is already at 100, eating more food will only give you the Overfed debuff, reducing your maximum stamina.

Moreover, if Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat, leaving you stuck with low health unless you have another way to restore it. Drinking alcohol can heal you, but it might also make you Drunk. On the bright side, you can unlock perks that provide benefits even when you're intoxicated.

Using a Potion

Similar to the first game, brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion is another way to heal. Remember, you'll need to gather the materials and brew the potion yourself, so it's wise to always keep some on hand.

Sleeping

Resting and sleeping is another effective way to restore health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, finding a suitable place to sleep can be challenging. You can't just use any stranger's bed without risking a crime report, unless you can persuade them otherwise.

You can find campsites and hay beds in the open world, but they won't provide the same quality of rest as a proper bed. I recommend paying for a bed at a nearby inn at night. If you're early in the game and working towards the wedding, visiting the miller or blacksmith as part of the main quest can offer you a job and a bed.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

It's crucial to know that you can bleed out in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. If you suffer significant slash damage, you might get a Bleeding debuff, which not only drains your HP but also hampers your combat abilities. In such cases, use a Bandage from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.

And that's how you can heal and restore health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
