How to Cure Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Facing a life-threatening situation in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? Food poisoning can quickly turn your adventure into a desperate struggle for survival. Here's how to overcome this perilous ailment.

Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The only cure for food poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a digestive potion. Waiting it out is a recipe for disaster—Henry won't survive.

Fortunately, obtaining a digestive potion isn't overly difficult. You can purchase one from most apothecaries. Check out the shops in Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads' Camp; they usually have them for a few groschen.

For a more sustainable solution, buy the recipe from an apothecary and brew your own potions. This allows you to craft multiple potions, ensuring you're prepared for future food-related mishaps. You'll need two thistles, two nettles, water, and one charcoal. Follow these steps:

  1. Add both thistles to a cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
  2. Grind the nettles using a pestle and mortar, then add them to the cauldron and boil for one turn.
  3. Grind the charcoal and add it to the cauldron.
  4. Finally, pour the potion.

A word of caution: Bozhena's hut appears to be the only alchemy station where you can brew in peace without annoying the shopkeepers.

What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
