Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Bathing and Grooming Guide Unveiled

Maintaining a clean appearance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 significantly impacts how NPCs perceive you, influencing quest outcomes and interactions. A dirty or bloody appearance negatively affects your charisma and persuasion abilities, even with high Speech skills. Here's how to maintain personal hygiene:

Why Cleanliness Matters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Cleanliness directly affects NPC interactions. Looking unkempt will make people less receptive, hindering information gathering. Dirt and blood inflict a debuff on your Speech and charisma, making persuasion checks significantly harder.

How to Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The game offers three primary methods for cleaning: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.

1. Troughs:

Commonly found in towns and outposts near buildings, troughs offer a basic cleaning option. Interacting with a trough cleans Henry's face, removing some dirt and blood, but not cleaning his clothes.

2. Bathing Spots:

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

3. Bathhouses:

Bathhouses, usually found in larger towns, offer the most effective cleaning method. For a small fee (Groschen), you receive a complete clean, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothing. Regular visits are recommended for optimal cleanliness.

By utilizing these methods, you can ensure your character remains presentable, improving your interactions and quest success in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game tips and guides, check out The Escapist.
