How to Cure Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In the unforgiving world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, even the simplest actions can have deadly consequences. Food poisoning is a real threat, but thankfully, it's curable. Here's how to survive a bout of food poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Curing Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The only way to cure food poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is by administering a digestive potion to Henry. Waiting it out is not an option; it will lead to his demise.

Acquiring a digestive potion is straightforward. You can purchase one from most apothecaries throughout the game. Several apothecaries in Troskowitz, Trosky Castle, and the Nomads' Camp stock them for a few groschen.

Alternatively, and for long-term preparedness, purchase the recipe from an apothecary and brew your own potions. This allows you to create multiple digestive potions, ensuring you're always prepared for emergencies. You'll need two thistles, two nettles, water, and one charcoal. The brewing process is as follows:

1. Add both thistles to a cauldron of water and boil for two turns.
2. Grind the nettle using a pestle and mortar, then add it to the cauldron and boil for one turn.
3. Grind the charcoal and add it to the cauldron.
4. Finally, pour the potion.

Note: Bozhena's hut appears to be the only alchemy station where you can brew potions undisturbed. Using stations at other apothecaries may anger the shopkeepers.

What Causes Food Poisoning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Understanding the cause of food poisoning is crucial for prevention. The simplest way to avoid it is to consume only fresh food. When checking your inventory, pay close attention to the "Freshness" meter. A red "Freshness" number indicates a risk of food poisoning. Only consume food with a white "Freshness" number.

Consider using perks that slow food spoilage, or preserving food through cooking or drying to extend its freshness.
