Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Several methods exist to replenish health:
- Consuming food or alcohol
- Utilizing Marigold Decoction potions
- Resting or sleeping
- Applying bandages to stop bleeding
While seemingly straightforward, these methods have nuances.
Food and Drink
Eating food or drinking alcohol gradually restores HP. However, consuming food when already fully nourished ("Nourishment" at 100%) results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Similarly, a full stomach prevents further food consumption. Alcohol provides healing but risks intoxication. Fortunately, perks can mitigate the negative effects of drunkenness.
Potions
As in the previous game, Marigold Decoction potions offer a direct health boost. Remember to gather ingredients and brew them beforehand.
Sleep
Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may lead to accusations of trespassing. While open-world campsites and hay beds provide rest, the quality of sleep (and thus healing) is inferior to a proper bed in an inn. Prioritize inns at night, or utilize beds offered through early game quests (e.g., the miller or blacksmith).
Bandages
Significant slash damage can inflict a "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining HP and hindering combat. Immediately use bandages from your inventory to mitigate this.
