Savior Schnapps

The game automatically saves during key story moments, when you sleep in your bed, or when you quit. However, to save at any time, you'll need Savior Schnapps, a scarce alcoholic drink. You can purchase it from merchants if you have the funds, or brew it yourself through alchemy. Remember, consuming Schnapps can increase Henry's intoxication level, so use it wisely.

Drying and Smoking

Food spoilage is a real concern in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. To extend the life of your provisions, smoke meat in smokehouses and dry other foods in drying cabinets. Herbs and mushrooms for potions also benefit from drying, increasing their shelf life.

Personal Chest

In rented tavern rooms or other sleeping locations, you'll find your personal chest. Items stored in one chest can be accessed from any other personal chest, making it an excellent way to manage your inventory. Stolen items placed in these chests will lose their stolen status after a period ranging from 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters

Your appearance plays a significant role in how others perceive you. A well-groomed Henry in fine attire can influence people positively, making persuasion easier. Conversely, armor and bloodstains can intimidate. Use the preset option in your inventory to switch outfits quickly for different situations, whether it's combat, diplomacy, or stealth.

Monitor Your Stamina

Stamina is crucial in combat, depleting rapidly like wine from a broken jug. When your screen grays out from exhaustion, retreat to recover. Without stamina, you can't block attacks, and taking hits further reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it also lowers your stamina cap.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing

Mastering alchemy allows you to craft essential potions, including Savior Schnapps, and even boosts Henry's Strength through herb gathering. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and remember to sharpen your weapons to prevent degradation. Crafting the best potions and weapons not only enhances your gameplay but also provides a lucrative source of Groschen.
