Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts how NPCs perceive you, influencing dialogue options and quest outcomes. Neglecting cleanliness results in penalties to speech and charisma, hindering your ability to succeed in persuasion checks.
Here's how to maintain Henry's hygiene:
Why Cleanliness Matters:
A dirty, blood-stained Henry will face difficulties in interacting with townsfolk. Even with high Speech skills, grime significantly reduces your persuasive capabilities.
Methods for Cleaning:
The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself:
Troughs:
Commonly located in towns and outposts near buildings, troughs provide a basic clean. Interact with a trough to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothing.
Bathing Spots:
Found near larger bodies of water like rivers and ponds (e.g., west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in Trotsky), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs, partially cleaning both Henry and his clothing.
Bathhouses:
For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse (usually located in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses provide the most comprehensive clean, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothes. Regular visits are recommended for optimal hygiene.
