Did you just survive a big fight in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and immediately wonder "how the heck do I heal myself?" Most games you simply have potions on you and quickly heal. Kingdom Come is no different, however how you obtain those potions is a bit more complex than most. Luckily there's an easy solution to that.
While you can of course go sleep and gain health back that way, you are likely going to want potions. The easiest way to do so is by brewing them at an alchemy table. Infact the best place to do this might be at the very start after you've left the prologue in the town of Troskowitz. But first we need some ingredients.
What Is Needed?
To make health potions (marigold decoctions) you need 2 ingredients, nettle and marigold. Both are relatively easy to find here. For nettle you can head to the southeast. Just outside Troskowitz is a small creek. Along the banks of the creek you can find plenty of nettle.
Marigold is found back in town, right infront of the alchemy table we are going to use on the west side of town. Once you've picked a decent amount you can head into the shed with the alchemy there and begin creating yiir potions.
Creating The Potions
The alchemy table might seem overwhelming at first, but I assure you in a few moments you will be a healing potion master. Pick the 2 ingredients and confirm. Start by going to the left side of the table and grabbing water to pour in the cauldron.
Next grab 1 nettle and put it into the cauldron and lower the cauldron to the fire. As soon as the water begins to boil (about 3 seconds, it will steam once it's boiling) grab the hourglass from the shelf to the right of the cauldron to flip it and start the timer. Once it's run out flip it once more. Once the sand has emptied a second time quickly move the cauldron back off the flame.
Now go back to the ingredients on the far left and grab 2 marigold and place them into the mortar at the bottom and grind them up. Once ground add them to the cauldron.
Lastly grab a phial from the bottom left section of the table and put your brew in. If your timing was spot on this should have created you 3 strong marigold decoctions. If your timing was a bit off don't fret, you will still get 3 health potions, they simply won't be as potent. You can rinse and repeat this as much as you'd like to get a good stock of potions.
Also as a side note, once you level up your alchemy enough to earn a couple skill points I suggest acquiring the Secret Of Matter skill. Acquiring this skill, and its subsequent Secret Of Matters II skill will allow you to get more potions per brew.
Secondly you can eventually purchase the Secret Of Secrets skill which will allow you to brew an even stronger potion. And that's all there is to it! You've now become a health potion master.
