In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse array of NPCs, ranging from friendly to hostile, and deciphering their intentions can often be challenging. If you're curious about handling the Wandering Drunk, here's your guide to navigating this encounter.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

Wandering Drunk Location in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The Wandering Drunk is located in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, accessible via a detour from the main roads. As you head north, you'll encounter a herdsman who cautions you about a dangerous vagabond lurking nearby.

Upon reaching the barn, you'll spot a Beggar NPC positioned just outside. This NPC turns hostile if you approach too closely. Interaction seems limited to engaging in combat, either to knock him out or to kill him.

After subduing him, you can loot his body to obtain a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Further exploration of the barn allows you to gather additional items that you can either sell or use later in the game.

The game provides no explicit backstory for the Wandering Drunk. He might be a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the original game, who also became a vagabond after losing everything. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk lost his home and family, and the keys you find on him were likely for his former residence, serving as a narrative detail rather than having a functional purpose in the game.

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it's common to find keys on various NPCs through looting or pickpocketing, with no clear use for them. The keys on the Wandering Drunk likely fall into this category.
