Maintaining health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is crucial, especially early on. Here's a comprehensive guide to healing and health restoration:
Methods of Healing:
-
Food and Alcohol Consumption: Replenish HP by consuming food and drink. However, be mindful of the "Overfed" debuff if your nourishment is already at 100%, limiting stamina. Alcohol can also heal but may induce a "Drunk" status. While initially detrimental, certain perks mitigate this negative effect.
-
Potion Use: Brew and consume Marigold Decoction potions for a direct HP boost. Remember to gather ingredients and prepare these beforehand.
-
Rest and Sleep: Sleeping restores health. The quality of sleep (and therefore healing) varies depending on the sleeping location; inns offer superior rest compared to campsites or hay beds.
-
Bandage Application: Address bleeding wounds immediately using bandages. Bleeding significantly drains HP and hinders combat effectiveness.
Detailed Breakdown:
Food and Drink: Consuming food or alcohol when injured gradually restores HP. However, overeating when already full results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Alcohol offers a healing benefit but carries the risk of intoxication.
Potions: Marigold Decoction potions, crafted using gathered ingredients, provide a quick and effective healing method. Stock up to ensure you're always prepared.
Sleep: Resting in a bed, particularly an inn bed, is the most effective way to restore health. While alternative sleeping spots exist, they offer less restorative value.
Bandages: Essential for treating bleeding injuries. Apply bandages promptly to stop HP loss and regain full combat capabilities.
