Healing in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, there are several methods to heal and restore your health, each with its own nuances and conditions. Let's delve into each method:

Eating Food and Drinking Alcohol

One way to regenerate health over time after taking damage is by consuming fresh food or drinking alcohol. However, be mindful that if your Nourishment is already at 100, eating more will result in the Overfed debuff, which reduces your maximum stamina. Additionally, if Henry is already full, you won't be able to eat, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless you have alternative healing methods.

While drinking alcohol can help you heal, it might also leave you Drunk. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as you can unlock perks that offer benefits even when intoxicated.

Using a Potion

Similar to the first game, you can heal by brewing and consuming a Marigold Decoction potion. This requires gathering materials and brewing the potion yourself, so always ensure you have some ready in your inventory.

Sleeping

Resting and sleeping is another way to restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. However, finding a place to sleep isn't always straightforward. You can't simply use a stranger's bed without risking a crime report unless you can persuade them otherwise. Look for campsites or hay beds in the open world, though these won't offer the same quality of rest as a proper bed.

For the best rest, consider paying for a bed at a nearby inn, especially at night. If you're early in the game and on your way to the wedding, you can also visit the miller or blacksmith during the main quest to secure a job and a bed of your own.

Using Bandages for Bleeding

It's important to note that you can suffer from bleeding in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Taking significant slash damage can result in a Bleeding debuff, which not only drains your health but also hampers your combat abilities. To stop the bleeding, use a Bandage from your inventory to treat Henry and remove the debuff.

That's how you can heal and restore health in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
