What You Should Know Before Starting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a massive RPG with intricate systems that bring its world to life. Its mechanics can be challenging for newcomers, so let's get you up to speed. Even the save system is unique, and that's where we'll begin.

Savior Schnapps

The game autosaves at key story points, when you sleep, and when you quit. For manual saves, you'll need Savior Schnapps – a potent alcoholic beverage that's not readily available. Stock up by purchasing it from merchants (if you have the Groschen) or by brewing it yourself using alchemy. Remember, it’s alcohol; overindulging before saving can lead to unpleasant consequences.

Find Mutt

Mutt, your canine companion, is invaluable. He aids in combat, investigations, and even boosts your stats. Seek him out as soon as the opportunity arises—don't miss out on this loyal friend.

Bargaining

Always haggle when buying or selling. You can almost always negotiate better prices. Every Groschen counts, especially early on.

Learn from Teachers

If you're a sword enthusiast, visit the Gypsy Camp for expert training. Don't hesitate to invest in skill training from various instructors.

Drying and Smoking

Food spoils, so preserve it! Smoke meat in smokehouses and dry other food in drying cabinets. This also applies to herbs and mushrooms used in potion-making.

Personal Chest

Use personal chests found in rented rooms or designated sleeping areas. Items stored in one chest are accessible from any other of your chests—they’re synchronized. This is perfect for storing heavy or unwanted items. Stolen items placed in a chest will eventually be considered legitimate after 3-12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters

Your appearance impacts how people treat you. Keep yourself clean, repair or replace your clothes, and choose outfits appropriate for the situation. Looking the part can greatly influence interactions.

Monitor Your Stamina

Stamina depletes quickly in combat. When your screen grays, retreat and rest. Low stamina hinders blocking and reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it lowers your maximum stamina.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing

Mastering these crafts provides access to potent potions (including Savior Schnapps) and superior weapons. Herb gathering also boosts strength. Sharpen your weapons regularly to maintain their effectiveness.

Side Quests

Don't neglect side quests! Many offer engaging storylines and valuable rewards, and some become unavailable after certain story events.

Ultimately, play how you enjoy it most. These tips provide options; how you utilize them shapes your unique journey.
