Maintaining a clean appearance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 significantly impacts NPC interactions and quest outcomes. Neglecting hygiene results in negative perceptions, hindering your ability to gather information and succeed in persuasion checks, even with high Speech skills. Here's how to maintain Henry's cleanliness:
Why Cleanliness Matters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
A clean appearance improves how NPCs perceive you, impacting dialogue options and quest success. Being dirty reduces your charisma and makes persuasion significantly more challenging.
Methods for Cleaning Yourself
The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.
Troughs
Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs provide a basic level of cleaning. Interacting with a trough cleans away some dirt and blood from your person, but not your clothes.
Bathing Spots
Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both your body and clothes, though not completely. 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 found in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen payment, bathhouses provide the most thorough clean, removing all dirt and blood from both your body and clothes. Regular visits are recommended for optimal cleanliness.
