In the unforgiving world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, even the simplest actions can have deadly consequences. Food poisoning is a serious 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. Delaying treatment will lead to a fatal outcome, so act quickly.

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

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

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

Note: Bozhena's hut offers a peaceful alchemy station; using stations in 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 primary cause is consuming spoiled food. Always check the "Freshness" meter on consumable items in your inventory. A red "Freshness" number indicates a high risk of food poisoning. Only consume items with a white "Freshness" number.

To further mitigate the risk, consider perks that slow food spoilage, or preserve your food by cooking or drying it.
