Healing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

There are several methods to heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Below, I've outlined each approach to help you get back on your feet:

• By eating food or drinking alcohol
• By consuming a Marigold Decoction potion
• By sleeping

These methods might seem straightforward, but they come with their own nuances and conditions. Let's dive into each one for a better understanding.

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

After taking damage, you can slowly regenerate your lost HP by consuming fresh food or drinking alcohol. However, be cautious: if your Nourishment is already at 100, further eating will result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. Additionally, if Henry is full, you won't be able to eat, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless you have an alternative way to heal.

While alcohol can help heal, it may also leave you Drunk. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you've unlocked perks that provide benefits while intoxicated.

Using a Potion

Similar to the first game, brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion is another effective way to heal. You'll need to gather the necessary materials and keep some potions on hand for emergencies.

Sleeping

Resting and sleeping can also restore your health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, finding a place to sleep can be tricky. Sleeping in someone else's bed can be reported as a crime unless you can persuade them otherwise. You can find campsites and hay beds in the open world, though these won't provide the same quality of rest as a proper bed.

For the best rest, consider paying for a bed at an inn during nighttime. If you're early in the game and heading to the wedding, visit the miller or blacksmith as part of the main quest to secure a job and a bed.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

It's also important to note that you can bleed out in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. If you take significant slash damage, you might get the Bleeding debuff, which drains your HP and hampers your combat abilities. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to treat Henry and remove the debuff.

And there you have it—the essential ways to heal up and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
