Essential Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Beginner Tips

This sprawling RPG features deeply interconnected systems that create a living, breathing world. For those new to the genre or unfamiliar with the first game, mastering these mechanics can be challenging — which is where our guide comes in.

The unconventional save system serves as our first lesson.

Savior Schnapps

While the game autosaves during pivotal story moments, when sleeping, or upon quitting, manual saves require Savior Schnapps — a scarce alcoholic beverage.

Stock up by purchasing from merchants when available or brew your own through alchemy. Remember: consuming Schnapps while already intoxicated may dangerously raise Henry's alcohol level.

Locate Mutt

The canine companion Mutt proves invaluable — assisting in combat, investigations, and even boosting skills through specialized upgrades. Complete his recruitment quest promptly to maximize his benefits.

Master Haggling

Never accept initial trade offers — negotiating nearly always yields better deals. Every saved groschen counts, especially early game.

Train with Instructors

Swordfighting enthusiasts should visit the Gypsy Camp for specialized combat training. Invest groschen wisely in skill development — competent instructors provide significant advantages.

Food Preservation Methods

Sustain Henry by preserving perishables — smoke meat in smokehouses and dry other foods in cabinets. Similarly, drying herbs and mushrooms extends their usability for potion-making.

Personal Storage System

Tavern rooms and sleeping quarters feature synchronized storage chests — place items in one chest and retrieve them from any other marked as yours. Stolen goods placed here gradually lose their stolen status (3-12 days depending on value).

Importance of Apparel

Henry's attire directly impacts social interactions — foul odors or ragged clothing elicit poor treatment. Maintain hygiene by washing in basins or bathhouses, repair clothing regularly, and utilize outfit presets:

- Noble attire boosts persuasion
- Bloodied armor intimidates
- Minimal clothing aids stealth

Managing Combat Fatigue

Combat rapidly depletes stamina — withdraw when your vision grays to recover. Blocking becomes impossible without stamina, and injuries further reduce your capacity. Avoid overeating as it negatively impacts maximum stamina.

Crafting Professions

Alchemy unlocks valuable potions (including Savior Schnapps) while herb gathering strengthens Henry. Blacksmithing produces weapons and equipment — remember to sharpen blades periodically. Master these crafts to create premium gear and generate income.

Complete Side Missions

The world brims with compelling side quests that often rival the main storyline's quality. Many become inaccessible after certain plot developments, so explore thoroughly to avoid missing valuable content.
