Savior Schnapps
The game auto-saves during key story moments, when you sleep in your bed, or when you quit. However, to save at any time, you'll need Savior Schnapps—an alcoholic drink that isn't readily available. You can purchase it from merchants if you have the Groschen, or brew it yourself through alchemy. Be mindful, though; consuming it when Henry is already tipsy can push his intoxication to critical levels, affecting gameplay.

Find Mutt
Mutt, the dog, is a valuable ally who aids in combat, investigations, and even boosts your stats through certain skill upgrades. As soon as you have the opportunity, embark on the quest to find him to reap the benefits of his companionship.

Drying and Smoking
Food spoilage is a real concern in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Preserve your meat by smoking it in smokehouses and dry other foods in drying cabinets. Herbs and mushrooms for potions also have a limited shelf life, but drying them extends their usability.

Personal Chest
In rented tavern rooms or other designated sleeping spots, you'll find your personal chest. These chests synchronize your items, allowing you to store and retrieve items across different locations. Storing stolen goods in these chests for 3 to 12 days (depending on value) will clear their stolen status.

Appearance Matters
In this RPG, your appearance significantly impacts how NPCs interact with you. Bad odors and tattered clothing can lead to negative reactions. Maintain your hygiene by washing at basins or bathhouses, and clean your clothes with soap. Repair or upgrade your attire to influence persuasion and intimidation. Use the preset feature in your inventory to switch outfits based on the situation.

Monitor Your Stamina
Stamina management is crucial in combat. When your screen starts graying from exhaustion, retreat to recover. Overeating reduces your max stamina, so keep an eye on your diet. An enemy with better stamina management will be less vulnerable to your attacks.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Mastering alchemy allows for quick potion crafting, including the essential Savior Schnapps. Herb gathering also boosts your Strength. As a blacksmith, you can craft weapons and horseshoes, and remember to sharpen your gear to prevent degradation. Both skills can lead to crafting the best items in the game and earning additional Groschen.

Side Quests
The world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is rich with side quests that are as compelling as the main storyline. Completing only main quests can lock you out of certain side quests and their rewards, so explore and engage with as many as possible.
