In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse range of NPCs, each with their own unique behaviors and intentions. One such character is the Wandering Drunk, and if you're unsure about how to interact with him, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this encounter.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location
The Wandering Drunk is located in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, slightly off the beaten path from the main roads. As you journey north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns you of a dangerous vagabond nearby who tends to attack intruders. Upon reaching the barn, you'll find the Beggar NPC sitting just outside. He'll become hostile if you approach too closely, leaving you with little choice but to engage in combat. After defeating him, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Further exploration of the barn will yield additional items that you can either sell or use later in your journey.
What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?
The game provides no explicit information about the Wandering Drunk's backstory. However, it's possible that he's a reference to a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who also lost everything and became a vagabond without any additional quests linked to him. It's likely that the Wandering Drunk is someone who has lost his home and family, and the door and chest keys he carries might have belonged to his former residence. These keys serve as a narrative detail, adding depth to his character. Many NPCs in the game carry keys that don't unlock anything specific, and the same likely applies to the Wandering Drunk.
