What should you know before starting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is a vast RPG with intricate, interconnected systems that bring its world to life. For those new to RPGs or unfamiliar with the first game, understanding these mechanics can be challenging, but fear not—we're here to guide you through.

Savior Schnapps

To save at any time, you'll need Savior Schnapps, a scarce alcoholic drink. You can purchase it from merchants if you have enough Groschen, or brew it yourself through alchemy. Be cautious, though; consuming it when Henry is already tipsy can lead to critical intoxication levels.

Drying and Smoking

Food spoilage is a real concern in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Preserve meat by smoking it in smokehouses and other foods by drying them in cabinets. Drying also extends the shelf life of herbs and mushrooms needed for potions.

Personal Chest

Your personal chest, found in rented tavern rooms or other sleeping locations, syncs across all your designated chests. Use it to store heavy or unnecessary items. Stolen items placed in the chest will lose their stolen status after 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters

Your appearance significantly impacts your interactions within the game. Keep Henry clean and well-dressed to be treated better. Use basins or bathhouses to wash off dirt, blood, and odors. Repair or upgrade your clothes to reflect different statuses—nobleman, warrior, or thief—as needed, using the preset option in your inventory for quick changes.

Monitor Your Stamina

In combat, your stamina depletes rapidly. When your screen turns gray from exhaustion, retreat and rest. Stamina is essential for blocking attacks, and without it, your maximum stamina decreases with each hit you take. Avoid overeating to maintain optimal stamina levels.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing

Mastering alchemy lets you craft essential potions like Savior Schnapps and even boosts Henry's Strength through herb gathering. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and don't forget to sharpen your gear to prevent degradation. Crafting can yield the best equipment and lucrative sales.
