Cleanliness Crusade: Bathing, Hygiene Tips Unveiled in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts how NPCs perceive you, significantly influencing quest outcomes and interactions. A dirty or blood-stained appearance can hinder your ability to gather information and successfully persuade characters, even with high Speech skills.

Methods for Cleansing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.

Troughs

Commonly found in towns and outposts near buildings, troughs provide a basic level of cleaning. Interacting with a trough allows Henry to wash his face, removing some dirt and blood, but it won't clean his clothes.

Bathing Spots

Located near larger bodies of water like rivers and ponds (e.g., west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Entering the water partially cleans both Henry and his clothing, though not completely.

Bathhouses

For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse. Usually found in larger towns, these require a small Groschen fee. A bathhouse provides the most thorough cleaning, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothes, leaving him impeccably clean. Regular visits are recommended.
