How to Cure Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In the unforgiving world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, even the simplest actions can have deadly consequences. Food poisoning is a real threat, but thankfully, there's a cure. This guide will show you how to avoid and treat this potentially fatal ailment.

Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The only way to cure food poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is by administering a digestive potion to Henry. Delaying treatment will lead to his demise, so act quickly!

You can obtain a digestive potion in two ways: purchase it or brew it yourself. Most apothecaries throughout the game sell digestive potions for a few groschen. Convenient locations include Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads’ Camp.

For a more sustainable solution, purchase the digestive potion recipe from an apothecary and craft your own. This ensures you'll always have a cure readily available. The recipe requires two thistles, two nettles, water, and one charcoal. Follow these steps:

1. Add both thistles to a cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
2. Grind the nettle using a pestle and mortar, then add it to the cauldron and boil for one turn.
3. Grind the charcoal and add it to the cauldron.
4. Finally, pour the resulting potion.

Note: Bozhena’s hut is generally the safest place to use an alchemy station without incurring the wrath of shopkeepers.

What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Understanding the cause of food poisoning is crucial for prevention. The primary cause is consuming spoiled food. Always check the Freshness meter on consumable items in your inventory. A red Freshness number indicates a high risk of food poisoning. Only consume items with a white Freshness number.

Consider utilizing perks that slow food spoilage or employing preservation methods like cooking or drying to extend the shelf life of your provisions.
