In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, staying alive can be a challenge—especially when something as seemingly minor as food poisoning can turn deadly fast. If you're not careful, a simple meal could send Henry to an early grave. But fear not—we’ve got the full breakdown on how to cure food poisoning and what causes it in the first place.
Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If Henry has fallen victim to food poisoning, the only effective remedy is a digestive potion. There are no alternative cures in the game, and trying to tough it out will only lead to fatal consequences. The moment you notice symptoms, it’s time to act fast.
You have two options for obtaining a digestive potion: purchase one or brew your own. Most apothecaries throughout the game world sell digestive potions for a small fee. Key locations include Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads’ Camp, where you can easily find vendors willing to make the sale.
For long-term preparedness, consider buying the potion recipe from an apothecary and crafting your own. This ensures you always have a supply on hand whenever trouble strikes. To brew a digestive potion, you'll need the following ingredients:
- Two thistle
- Two nettle
- One charcoal
- Water
- Add both thistle plants to a cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
- Grind the nettle using a pestle and mortar, then add it to the cauldron. Boil for one additional turn.
- Grind the charcoal and mix it into the cauldron.
- Finally, pour the potion into a bottle and it's ready for use.
The best place to safely perform this alchemical process is Bozhena’s hut. Attempting to use other alchemy stations may provoke anger from local shopkeepers, making Bozhena’s location the most reliable choice.
What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Now that you know how to treat food poisoning, it’s equally important to understand how to avoid it altogether. The simplest rule is to eat only fresh food. In your inventory, each consumable item displays a freshness indicator. If the number appears in red, there's a high risk of food poisoning if consumed. Stick to items with white-colored freshness values to stay safe.
Certain perks can slow down the spoilage of food, giving you more time to consume it before it becomes dangerous. Additionally, cooking or drying your food helps extend its shelf life, reducing the chances of illness and saving you valuable resources in the long run.
And that’s everything you need to know about curing and preventing food poisoning in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
