Combat is important inKingdom Come: Deliverance.

Equipping Henry with the best weapons and armor is just part of the puzzle, as are utilizing some of the best perks inKingdom Come: Deliverance.Another option is to take advantage of all the available potions. These unique items can do a variety of different things, from curing ailments, to boosting certain stats, to even giving a boost to Henry’s weapons and armor. This guide will show players where they can find these potions, how to craft them, and what they do.
How To Heal Henry In Kingdom Come: Deliverance
The number one question players may have regarding potions is how to use them effectively. It’s one thing to have potions in Henry’s inventory, but it’s another to find the right time to use them. Unfortunately,Henry won’t be able to use any of his potions in the heat of a battle.Withdrawing his weapon to guzzle down a potion would place him in an awkward position to take a swing of the sword. Instead, players will have to wait until a battle is over, or preemptively take a potion before starting combat. This givesKingdom Come: Deliveranceplayers an opportunity to strategize andprepare Henry for a tough war, or cure him of any damage sustained once the last blow has been delivered.
Using potions is relatively easy once players take this factor into consideration. To do so, open the inventory, select the potion you wish to use, and apply it to Henry. Once consumed, the potion will disappear from their inventory, andHenry will reap the benefitsof the potion. Not all potions are alike, and some can either have devastating results on Henry’s health or do absolutely nothing. It’s important to read the details of each potion before giving it to Henry. Some may prove deadly with no chance of survival, while others can enhance a weapon with destructive side effects.
