Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist to replenish health: consuming food or alcohol, using potions, sleeping, and applying bandages to bleeding wounds. However, the effectiveness of each method depends on various factors.

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol regenerates HP over time. However, consuming food when your Nourishment is already full results in the "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Similarly, consuming food when already full is impossible, leaving you with limited health restoration options. Alcohol offers healing but risks intoxication, though perks can mitigate this negative effect.

Potion Use

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

Rest and Sleep

Resting and sleeping restore health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations might lead to criminal charges unless resolved through dialogue. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep, and thus health restoration, is inferior to a proper bed in an inn. Prioritize paying for a bed, especially at night. Early-game quests might provide access to beds at the miller's or blacksmith's.

Treating Bleeding Wounds

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