Why Hygiene Matters in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Maintaining proper hygiene significantly impacts your social interactions in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Showing up covered in blood or dirt makes NPCs less receptive, hindering information gathering and social advancement. Even with high Speech skills, poor hygiene imposes penalties to persuasion attempts, creating additional challenges.

Cleaning Methods in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

The game offers three primary ways to maintain your character's cleanliness: troughs, natural bathing spots, and professional bathhouses.

Troughs

Commonly found in towns and settlements, troughs provide basic cleaning functionality. Located near key buildings, these allow quick face-washing to remove surface grime and blood. However, troughs don't clean your clothing and offer limited hygiene benefits.

Bathing Spots

Natural water sources like rivers and ponds serve as improvised bathing areas. One notable location exists west of the Nomads' Camp in the Trotsky region. Wading into these waters cleans both Henry and his clothing more thoroughly than troughs, though still not providing complete cleanliness.

Bathhouses

For complete hygiene restoration, visit town bathhouses. These establishments thoroughly clean both character and clothing for a modest fee. Perfect for removing all bloodstains and dirt before important social interactions, bathhouses offer the most effective cleaning solution in the game.
