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 may seem straightforward, their effectiveness can vary based on your current conditions. Let's explore each option in more detail.

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

When you're injured, you can gradually restore your lost HP by consuming fresh food or sipping on some alcohol. However, be mindful that if your Nourishment is already at 100%, eating more will only result in the Overfed debuff, which can reduce your maximum stamina. Additionally, if Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat at all, leaving you with low health unless you have alternative healing methods.

While drinking alcohol can help you heal, it also risks leaving you Drunk. On the bright side, you can unlock perks that offer benefits even in this state, making it a viable option in certain situations.

Using a Potion

Similar to the original game, you can brew and drink a Marigold Decoction potion to heal up. Remember, you'll need to gather the necessary materials and brew the potion yourself, so always keep some on hand for emergencies.

Sleeping

Restoring health through sleep in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* can be a bit tricky. You can't just crash in someone else's bed without risking a crime report, unless you can sweet-talk your way out of it. You might find campsites and hay beds in the open world, but they won't offer the same quality of rest as a proper bed.

For the best results, consider paying for a bed at a nearby inn, especially at night. Early in the game, as you work towards attending the wedding, you can also visit the miller or blacksmith during the main quest to secure a job and a bed of your own.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

Another crucial aspect to remember is the risk of bleeding out in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. If you take significant slash damage, you might suffer from a Bleeding debuff, which drains your HP and hampers your combat abilities. To stop the bleeding, simply use a Bandage from your inventory to patch Henry up and remove the debuff.
