Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for health restoration:

  • Consuming food or alcohol.
  • Using a Marigold Decoction potion.
  • Sleeping.

Let's examine each method in detail:

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol gradually replenishes health. However, be mindful of your Nourishment level. Reaching 100% Nourishment results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, if Henry is already full, he cannot consume more food, leaving you with limited health restoration options. While alcohol helps heal, it also induces a "Drunk" status. Fortunately, perks can mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

Brewing and drinking a Marigold Decoction potion provides a direct health boost. Remember to gather the necessary ingredients and keep a supply on hand.

Resting and Sleeping

Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations might lead to accusations of trespassing. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep, and thus health restoration, is inferior to sleeping in a proper bed at an inn. Consider paying for a bed, especially at night. Early in the game, jobs offered through the main questline (e.g., with the miller or blacksmith) often provide lodging.

Treating Bleeding

Significant slash damage can inflict a "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly depleting health and hindering combat. Apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
