Surviving Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires more than just winning battles – it’s about staying alive afterward. Beating in combat, falling from a height, or even eating something questionable, healing properly will come in very handy. While Marigold Concoctions are your first healing method, there’s more to the world of healing. From brewing potions to stopping bleeding with bandages, this guide will walk you through the best ways to keep yourself in top shape and ready for whatever dangers medieval Bohemia throws your way.
How To Heal in KCD
If you have taken some hits in battle, suffered a nasty fall, or eaten something questionable, the fastest way to recover is by drinking a Marigold Concoction. This go-to healing potion gradually restores your health over time, with the potency depending on whether you are using a Weak or Strong variant. The stronger version even helps cure hangovers, which is useful if you have been indulging a bit too much.
If you are constantly chugging Marigold Potions to stay alive, you might want to consider some preventative options. Certain potions can reduce incoming damage or provide protection against specific hazards, making them a smart addition to your inventory. Next time you are at an Apothecary, take a look at their stock, you might find a more efficient way to keep yourself in fighting shape.
Marigold Decoction recipe
You can buy the Marigold Decoction recipe from an Apothecary, though it will cost a decent amount, like most recipes, but it’s worth the investment since the ingredients are easy to find. This potion gradually restores health and even cures hangovers if brewed well. To make it, you will need water, a handful of nettle, and two handfuls of marigold. Start by boiling the nettle for two turns, then grind and add the marigold before finishing with a pour.
Get Some Rest
Getting some rest in a bed will restore your health, with the amount depending on how long you sleep. If you want to speed up the process, drinking a Chamomile Brew potion can help. Remember, even the strongest Marigold potion won’t help if you are bleeding out from a fresh wound. You will need to stop the bleeding first. Bandages are the quickest fix and can be applied from your inventory, but the more severe the wound, the more bandages you will need. It’s always a good idea to keep plenty on hand, especially early on when you don’t have solid armor to protect you.
