There’s no denying that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has exploded onto the gaming scene since its grand launch on February 4, 2025, with over 1 million copies sold in a single day. As the game was released, it brought back Henry of Skalitz from KCD 1 who is all set to dive back into ultimate chaos again, facing vicious enemies. And, as players get into his boots, danger lurks around every cobblestone corner, making it essential for them to know how to recover health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Well, worry not! We’ve got you covered. Here is a quick guide on how to recover health in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
How to Recover Health In KCD II
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Henry’s health and stamina are your lifelines and if any of these drops too low, know that you are cooked. There are a variety of ways by which players can recover their health, the first being by Eating and Drinking. These basic recovery moves can help Henry slightly recover his health and also refill his nourishment meter, making sure that he does not pass out mid-battle.
On top of Eating and Drinking, Henry can hit up some Z’s and Rest in his leisurely hours which would refill his Rest Meter. Also, Bathing can help Henry top up his hygiene meter, giving him a health boost. But, here is the catch! These methods work only when Henry is not actually wounded and just needs some health gain. But if Henry is stumbling around like a wounded chicken, bleeding, he’ll need something more to mend his wounds. Hey! Consider it handled. Stay hooked as we tell you through the ways to heal wounds in Kindom Come: Deliverance 2.
How to Mend Wounds
Wounded Henry can lose strength drastically, affecting the combat. And, if wounds are not taken care of, he might end up with a bunch of debuffs that will make everything worse. So, the best way to cure bleeding wounds is to open up your inventory and grab some bandages. As players grab them, it is important to note that each wound needs a specific number of these bandages. So, don’t just stack up a lot of bandages on one little cut.
Next, as players step out of the inventory, they should check if they have “Stopped Bleeding” and that the wound is healed. Also, players need to keep an eye on the debuff icon to know exactly which healing goodie should be used for the wounds.
And here is the most interesting part. For Henry to speed up his recovery, players can consume potions like the Marigold Decoction or the Chamomile Brew which works as magic when Henry sleeps. These potions can help Henry quickly regain HP, making him bounce back to the game, stronger than ever! Let us now tell you how to craft these potions to regain strength and mend wounds.
How to Craft Potions
For players to craft the potions, they first need to head to the Alchemy Station and begin brewing. For potions to be brewed, certain ingredients and processes are required. Here is a guide on how to craft potions to gain HP in Kindom Come: Deliverance 2.
- Marigold Decoction: Marigold Decoction helps players regenerate HP over a certain period.
