Handling the Wandering Drunk in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Tips and Strategies

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse array of NPCs, ranging from friendly to hostile, and it can be tricky to discern their intentions. If you're curious about how to handle the Wandering Drunk, here's what you should know.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

The Wandering Drunk can be found in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, slightly off the beaten path. As you travel north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns you about a dangerous vagabond in the vicinity, ready to attack anyone who approaches.

Upon reaching the barn, you'll find a Beggar NPC sitting outside. He will turn hostile if you get too close. There doesn't seem to be any way to interact with him peacefully; your only option is to engage in combat, either knocking him out or killing him.

After defeating him, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, a set of keys, and 2.7 groschen. Additionally, exploring the barn will yield a few other items that you can either sell or use later in your journey.

What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?

The game provides no specific information about the identity of the Wandering Drunk. However, he might be a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the original game, who also became a vagabond after losing everything, with no further quests linked to him. It's probable that the Wandering Drunk is someone who has lost his home and family, and the door and chest keys he carries are remnants of his past life, included for added depth to his character.

Many NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* carry keys that don't have an obvious purpose, and the same likely applies to the keys found on the Wandering Drunk.

And that's everything you need to know about handling the Wandering Drunk in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to cure food poisoning and romance Hans Capon, be sure to check out The Escapist.
