Cleanliness Enhancement Guide for 'Kingdom Come Deliverance 2'

Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts how NPCs perceive you, influencing dialogue options and quest outcomes. Neglecting cleanliness results in penalties to Speech and charisma, hindering your ability to succeed in persuasion checks.

Here's how to maintain Henry's hygiene:

Why Cleanliness Matters:

A dirty and unkempt appearance negatively affects interactions with other characters. People are less receptive, making information gathering challenging. Even with high Speech skills, being unclean significantly reduces your persuasive capabilities.

Cleaning Methods:

The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself:

Troughs:

Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs provide a basic level of cleaning. Interact with a trough to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothing.

Bathing Spots:

Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots offer a slightly more thorough clean than troughs. Entering the water partially cleans both Henry and his clothing, though not completely. An example location is west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region.

Bathhouses:

For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse (usually found in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses provide the most thorough clean, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothes. Regular visits are recommended for optimal cleanliness.
