The Definitive Bathing Guide for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Maintaining a clean appearance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 significantly impacts NPC interactions and quest outcomes. Neglecting hygiene results in negative perceptions, hindering dialogue and persuasion checks. Here's how to stay squeaky clean:
Why Cleanliness Matters:
A dirty and bloodied Henry faces reduced interaction opportunities and suffers speech/charisma debuffs, impacting success in persuasion.
Cleaning Methods:
Three primary methods exist for cleansing Henry: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.
Troughs:

Commonly found near buildings in towns and outposts, troughs offer a basic clean. Interact with them to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothes.
Bathing Spots:

Located near larger bodies of water (e.g., rivers, ponds), bathing spots provide a more thorough clean than troughs, partially cleaning both Henry and his clothes. An example is found west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region.
Bathhouses:
The most effective cleaning method. Found in larger towns, bathhouses require a small Groschen fee. A bathhouse visit thoroughly cleans both Henry and his clothing, providing the highest level of cleanliness. Regular visits are recommended.
