Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist to replenish health:

  • Consuming food or alcohol
  • Utilizing Marigold Decoction potions
  • Resting and sleeping
  • Applying bandages to staunch bleeding

While seemingly straightforward, the effectiveness of each method depends on various factors.

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol gradually restores health. However, exceeding your nourishment level (100%) results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Furthermore, a full stomach prevents further food consumption, leaving you vulnerable with low health unless alternative healing options are available. Alcohol, while offering healing, can induce a "Drunk" status. Fortunately, perks can mitigate the negative effects of intoxication.

Potion Use

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

Sleep

Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may lead to criminal charges unless you can persuade the owner otherwise. Campsites and hay beds offer lower-quality rest compared to beds in inns. Prioritize securing a bed at an inn, especially at night. Early in the game, consider taking on jobs at the miller's or blacksmith's to gain access to a bed.

Bandages for Bleeding

Significant slashing damage can cause bleeding, draining health and hindering combat effectiveness. Apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
