Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for health restoration:

• Consuming food or alcohol
• Using Marigold Decoction potions
• Sleeping
• Applying bandages to stop bleeding

While seemingly straightforward, these methods have nuances:

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating replenishes health over time, but overeating (when Nourishment is already at 100%) results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, if Henry is full, he cannot consume any more food. Alcohol offers a quicker health boost, but can induce a "Drunk" status. However, certain perks mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

Marigold Decoction potions provide a direct health boost, but require gathering ingredients and brewing. Always keep a supply on hand.

Sleep

Resting restores health, but sleeping location matters. Sleeping in unauthorized beds can result in a crime report, unless you can persuade the owner otherwise. Campsites and haystacks offer less restorative sleep than beds in inns. Prioritize paying for a bed at an inn, especially at night. Early in the game, the main quest may provide opportunities for temporary lodging with the miller or blacksmith.

Bleeding Control

Significant slash damage can cause bleeding, steadily draining HP and hindering combat. Immediately apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
