Healing Methods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Several methods exist for health restoration:

• Consuming food and drink
• Using Marigold Decoction potions
• Sleeping
• Applying bandages

While seemingly straightforward, optimal healing requires understanding the nuances of each method.

Food and Alcohol

Eating replenishes health gradually. However, consuming food when already at full nourishment (100%) results in an "Overfed" debuff, reducing maximum stamina. Similarly, attempting to eat while full is impossible.

Alcohol offers a healing alternative, but carries the risk of intoxication. However, perks can mitigate the negative effects of drunkenness.

Potions

Brewing and consuming Marigold Decoction potions provides a direct health boost. Remember to gather necessary ingredients and maintain a supply.

Sleep

Resting restores health. However, sleeping in unauthorized locations may lead to accusations of trespassing. Inns offer superior rest, while open-world locations (campsites, hay beds) provide less effective recovery. Early in the game, consider seeking temporary lodging through quests (e.g., miller or blacksmith).

Treating Bleeding

Significant slash damage can inflict a "Bleeding" debuff, rapidly draining health and hindering combat. Immediately apply bandages from your inventory to counteract this debilitating effect.
