Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, ranging from friendly to hostile, can sometimes leave you unsure of their intentions. This guide clarifies how to handle the Wandering Drunk.

Locating the Wandering Drunk

The Wandering Drunk resides in a derelict barn slightly north of Semine, off the main thoroughfares. While approaching from the north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns of a potentially aggressive vagrant nearby.

Inside the barn's vicinity, you'll find a Beggar NPC. He'll turn hostile if approached too closely. Currently, there's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeat him to obtain a gemstone ring, keys, and 2.7 groschen. The barn itself also contains additional lootable items.

The Mystery of the Keys

The game offers no explanation for the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be a nod to a similar, destitute Beggar NPC from the first game, lacking any associated quests. He likely represents someone who's lost their home and family, with the keys serving merely as narrative detail.

Many NPCs in the game carry keys with unknown purposes upon looting or pickpocketing. The Wandering Drunk's keys likely fall into this category.
