How to Cure Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the dangers lurking around every corner can make life incredibly challenging. One such peril is food poisoning, which can be fatal if not treated promptly. Here's a detailed guide on how to cure food poisoning and what causes it, ensuring you keep Henry in top shape.

Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To cure food poisoning in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry must take a digestive potion. This is the only effective remedy; attempting to wait it out will lead to Henry's demise. You can acquire a digestive potion in two ways: purchasing it from an apothecary or brewing it yourself.

Digestive potions are widely available for purchase at most apothecaries in the game. You can find them at Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads’ Camp, where they are sold for a few groschen. If you prefer a more sustainable approach, consider buying the recipe and brewing the potion yourself. This method allows you to craft multiple potions, ensuring you're always prepared for emergencies.

To brew a digestive potion, you'll need:

  • Two thistles
  • Two nettles
  • Water
  • One piece of charcoal

Follow this recipe:

  1. Add both thistles to the cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
  2. Grind the nettles with a pestle and mortar, then add them to the cauldron and boil for one turn.
  3. Grind the charcoal and add it to the cauldron.
  4. Pour the potion.

The best place to brew your potion without disturbance is Bozhena’s hut, as using the alchemy stations at other apothecaries may upset the shopkeepers.

What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Understanding what causes food poisoning is crucial for prevention. In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the primary culprit is consuming spoiled food. Always check the Freshness meter in your inventory before eating. If the meter shows a red number, there's a risk of food poisoning; stick to food with a white Freshness indicator to stay safe.

To further prevent food spoilage, consider acquiring perks that slow down the spoiling process. Additionally, cooking or drying your food can extend its freshness, reducing the risk of poisoning.
