Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Replenishing Henry’s health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 involves several methods:
- Consuming food and drink
- Drinking Marigold Decoction potions
- Sleeping
While seemingly simple, the effectiveness of each method depends on various factors. Let's delve into the specifics.
Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol
Food and alcohol replenish health over time. However, be mindful of your Nourishment level. If it's already at 100%, consuming more food results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, if Henry is full, he can't eat at all, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless alternative healing methods are available. Alcohol, while effective, carries the risk of becoming drunk, although this can be mitigated with certain perks.
Using a Potion
Brewing and consuming Marigold Decoction potions provides a reliable healing option. Remember, you'll need to gather ingredients and craft the potion beforehand, ensuring you always have a supply on hand.
Sleeping
Resting and sleeping restores health. However, sleeping isn't always convenient. Sleeping in a stranger's bed might lead to accusations of trespassing unless you can successfully persuade them otherwise. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep, and thus healing, is inferior to a proper bed. Consider paying for a bed at an inn, or, early in the game, utilize the miller's or blacksmith's accommodations as part of the main questline.
Using Bandages for Bleeding
Severe slash damage can result in the Bleeding debuff, which drains health rapidly and significantly hampers combat effectiveness. Apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
