Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for health restoration in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

• Consuming food and drink
• Utilizing Marigold Decoction potions
• Resting or sleeping
• Applying bandages to bleeding wounds

While seemingly straightforward, these methods have nuances:

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol replenishes HP over time. However, exceeding your nourishment level (100%) results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, consuming food when already full is impossible. Alcohol, while effective, can induce a "Drunk" status. However, certain perks mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

Brewing and consuming Marigold Decoction potions provides a direct health boost. Remember to gather the necessary ingredients and keep a supply on hand.

Resting and Sleep

Resting restores health, but sleeping locations matter. Sleeping in unauthorized beds might lead to legal trouble. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep (and therefore health restoration) is inferior to a proper bed in an inn. Prioritize inns for optimal recovery, especially at night. Early in the game, consider seeking work with the miller or blacksmith for guaranteed lodging.

Treating Bleeding Wounds

Significant slash damage can inflict a "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining HP and hindering combat. Immediately apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
