Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several options exist for restoring health:

• Consuming food or alcohol.
• Using a Marigold Decoction potion.
• Sleeping.

Each method has its nuances, detailed below.

Food and Alcohol Consumption

Eating food or drinking alcohol replenishes health over time. However, consuming food when your nourishment is already full results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Similarly, consuming food when already satiated is impossible. While alcohol provides healing, it also carries the risk of intoxication. However, perks can mitigate the negative effects of drunkenness.

Potion Usage

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

Rest and Sleep

Resting and sleeping restores health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may lead to accusations of crime. While open-world campsites and hay beds offer rest, the quality of sleep, and thus health restoration, is inferior to that of a proper bed in an inn. Prioritize paying for a bed, especially at night. Early in the game, consider seeking temporary lodging through jobs offered by the miller or blacksmith during the main quest.

Treating Bleeding

Severe slash wounds inflict a "Bleeding" debuff, draining health and hindering combat effectiveness. Apply bandages from your inventory to stop the bleeding and remove the debuff.
