How to Bathe & Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts NPC interactions and quest outcomes. A dirty, blood-stained appearance hinders persuasion, even with high Speech skills. Here's how to maintain your cleanliness:

Why Cleanliness Matters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Cleanliness significantly affects how NPCs perceive you. A grimy appearance reduces interaction opportunities and makes information gathering difficult. Dirt and blood also negatively impact your Speech and charisma, making persuasion checks significantly harder.

How to Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The game offers three primary cleaning methods: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.

Troughs

Commonly found in towns and outposts, 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

Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Entering the water partially cleans both you and your clothes, but won't achieve perfect cleanliness. An example is found west of the Nomads' and Cumans' Camps in the Trotsky region.

Bathhouses

For the most effective clean, visit a bathhouse (usually found in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses provide the most thorough cleaning, removing all dirt and blood and cleaning your clothes completely. Regular bathhouse visits are recommended for optimal cleanliness.
