What Should You Know Before Starting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Prepare for a deep RPG experience with intricate systems. Even the save system is unique, so let's start there!
Savior Schnapps
The game autosaves at key moments, when sleeping, or upon quitting. For manual saves, you'll need Savior Schnapps. Purchase it from merchants (if you can afford it) or brew it yourself via alchemy. Remember, it's alcoholic; overindulging before saving can lead to an unpleasant surprise.
Find Mutt
Mutt, your canine companion, is invaluable in combat, investigations, and skill upgrades. Seek him out as soon as possible via quests—he's a huge help!
Bargaining
Always haggle! You can almost always negotiate better prices when buying or selling. Those Groschen add up, especially early on.
Learn from Teachers
Invest in skills training! The Gypsy Camp offers excellent sword fighting instruction, and other teachers can greatly enhance your abilities.
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 for potions.
Personal Chest
Use personal chests in taverns or other locations where you can sleep. Items stored in one chest are accessible from any other—a great way to manage inventory. Stolen items will eventually become legitimate after being stored for 3-12 days (depending on value).
Appearance Matters
Your appearance significantly impacts how people treat you. Keep clean, repair or replace your clothes, and choose outfits strategically for different situations (combat, diplomacy, stealth).
Monitor Your Stamina
Stamina is crucial in combat. When your screen grays out from exhaustion, retreat and rest. Low stamina hinders blocking, and taking hits reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it also lowers maximum stamina.
Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Mastering alchemy allows you to create essential potions (including Savior Schnapps). Blacksmithing lets you craft weapons and horseshoes. Sharpen your weapons regularly to maintain effectiveness.
Side Quests
Don't neglect side quests! Many are engaging and offer valuable rewards. Some become unavailable after certain story events.
Ultimately, play *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* your way! These tips offer a foundation; your unique journey awaits.
