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

Here's how to maintain Henry's hygiene:

Why Cleanliness Matters:

A dirty and disheveled appearance reduces NPC interaction and lowers your persuasive capabilities, even with high Speech skills.

Cleaning Methods:

The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself:

Troughs:

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

Bathing Spots:

Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs, partially cleaning both Henry and his clothing. An example is found west of the Nomads' and Cumans' Camps in the Trotsky region.

Bathhouses:

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

By utilizing these methods, you can ensure Henry maintains a presentable appearance, maximizing your interactions and success in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game guides and tips, check out The Escapist.
