Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for health restoration:

• Consuming food or alcohol
• Using Marigold Decoction potions
• Sleeping
• Applying bandages to stop bleeding

While seemingly straightforward, optimal healing depends on various factors. Let's explore each method in detail.

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol gradually replenishes health. However, consuming food when your Nourishment is already full results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, attempting to eat when satiated is impossible, leaving you with limited recovery options. Alcohol, while effective, can induce the "Drunk" status. Fortunately, perks mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

As in the previous game, Marigold Decoction potions provide a direct health boost. Remember to gather ingredients and brew them beforehand for readily available healing.

Rest and Sleep

Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations might lead to accusations of trespassing. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer some rest, inns provide superior quality sleep for optimal health recovery. Early in the game, securing a job with the miller or blacksmith provides access to a bed.

Treating Bleeding

Significant slash damage can inflict the "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining health and hindering combat. Immediately use bandages from your inventory to mitigate this debilitating effect.
