Handling the Wandering Drunk in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Tips and Strategies

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse cast of NPCs, ranging from friendly to hostile, each with their own unique stories and interactions. One such character is the Wandering Drunk, whose intentions can be murky at first glance. If you're curious about what to do when you meet him, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this encounter.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

You can find the Wandering Drunk in an abandoned barn located just north of Semine, off a side path from the main roads. While traveling north, you'll encounter a herdsman who cautions you about a dangerous vagabond nearby, which is the Wandering Drunk himself.

Upon arriving at the barn, you'll see a Beggar NPC seated just outside. This NPC will turn hostile if you approach too closely. Interaction options seem limited to combat; you can either fight and kill him or knock him out. After defeating him, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Additionally, exploring the barn allows you to collect other items that you can sell or use later.

What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?

The game doesn't provide explicit clues about the Wandering Drunk's backstory. However, he might be reminiscent of a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who also lost everything and became a vagabond without additional questlines. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk is someone who has lost his home and family, and the keys found on him might have belonged to his former residence, serving as a narrative detail to enrich his character.

Many other NPCs in the game carry keys that remain a mystery, and it's likely the same with the Wandering Drunk's keys. They add depth to the game's world but don't have a specific function or lead to further quests.
