Savior Schnapps
While the game auto-saves during key moments, sleeping, or quitting, you'll need Savior Schnapps for manual saves. This alcoholic beverage is scarce but vital. You can purchase it from merchants when available or brew it using alchemy. Be cautious, though; consuming it when Henry is already tipsy can lead to critical intoxication levels.

Find Mutt
Mutt, your loyal dog, is a valuable ally in combat, investigations, and even boosts your stats with specific upgrades. Make it a priority to find him as soon as you can through the relevant quest to benefit from his assistance early on.

Negotiate when trading goods to get better deals. Groschen can be scarce at the beginning, so every coin counts. Hone your bargaining skills to stretch your budget further.

Learn from Teachers
If you're interested in sword fighting, the Gypsy Camp offers an excellent instructor to teach you advanced techniques. Don't hesitate to invest Groschen in skill training from various teachers throughout the game.

Drying and Smoking
Food spoilage is a real concern in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Preserve meat by smoking it in smokehouses, and dry other foods in cabinets to extend their shelf life. Similarly, herbs and mushrooms for potions will last longer if dried.

Personal Chest
In rented tavern rooms or other sleeping locations, you'll find a personal chest. These chests are synchronized across different locations, allowing you to store and retrieve items at your convenience. Storing stolen items in these chests will eventually clear their stolen status, taking anywhere from 3 to 12 days depending on the item's value.

Appearance Matters
Your appearance significantly impacts how NPCs interact with you. Maintain cleanliness by washing at basins or bathhouses, and keep your clothes repaired or upgraded. Dressing appropriately can influence persuasion, intimidation, and even stealth. Use the preset option in your inventory to switch outfits for different situations easily.

Monitor Your Stamina
In combat, stamina is crucial. When your screen grays out due to exhaustion, retreat to recover. Stamina depletion prevents blocking, and taking hits reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating to maintain your stamina levels, as a well-rested Henry is a formidable fighter.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Mastering alchemy and blacksmithing can give you a significant edge. Advanced alchemy allows for quick potion crafting, including Savior Schnapps, and gathering herbs boosts your Strength. As a blacksmith, craft weapons and horseshoes, and remember to sharpen your gear to prevent degradation. These skills not only enhance your gameplay but also offer lucrative opportunities for selling your creations.

Side Quests
Don't overlook the side quests scattered throughout the game world. They're as engaging as the main storyline and offer valuable rewards. Some become inaccessible after certain main quests progress, so explore and complete them when you can.
