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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse array of NPCs, ranging from friendly to hostile. One such character you might stumble upon is the Wandering Drunk, and if you're unsure about how to handle this encounter, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate it.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

The Wandering Drunk can be found in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, slightly off the beaten path. As you travel north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns you about a dangerous vagabond lurking nearby. Proceed to the barn, and you'll spot a Beggar NPC sitting just outside. Approach cautiously, as he turns hostile upon your close presence. Unfortunately, there's no peaceful interaction possible; you'll need to engage him in combat, either to knock him out or defeat him.

After dealing with the Wandering Drunk, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Additionally, exploring the barn itself will yield other items that you can either use or sell later on.

What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?

The game doesn't provide any specific information about the identity of the Wandering Drunk. He may be a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the original game, who had also fallen on hard times, becoming a vagabond without any attached questlines. The door and chest keys found on him likely belonged to his former home, serving as a poignant reminder of his past life. These keys, like those found on many other NPCs in the game, might not unlock anything specific and are there to add depth to the character's backstory.

That sums up all you need to know about the Wandering Drunk in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and insights into the game, including how to cure food poisoning and romance Hans Capon, be sure to check out The Escapist.
