Savior Schnapps
The game auto-saves at key story moments, when you sleep in your bed, or when you exit the game. To save at any time, you'll need Savior Schnapps—a scarce alcoholic drink. You can purchase it from merchants when available or brew it yourself using alchemy. Remember, consuming Schnapps can increase Henry's intoxication level, so use it wisely when he's already tipsy.

Mutt, the loyal dog, is an invaluable companion who aids in combat, investigations, and even boosts your stats with specific skill upgrades. When you have the opportunity to search for him through a quest, seize it immediately to gain his assistance early on.

Drying and Smoking
Food in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 spoils over time. Preserve meat by smoking it in smokehouses and dry other foods in drying cabinets. Herbs and mushrooms, essential for potions, also spoil but last longer when dried.

Personal Chest
In rented tavern rooms or other sleeping spots, you'll find your personal chest. Items stored here are accessible across all your chests, making it an excellent way to manage your inventory. Stolen items placed in these chests will lose their stolen status after 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters
Your appearance significantly impacts social interactions in the game. A dirty or poorly dressed Henry will be treated poorly. Keep clean by washing in basins or bathhouses, and repair or upgrade your clothing. Different outfits are necessary for various situations, and the inventory preset feature allows quick changes between them.

Monitor Your Stamina
Stamina is crucial in combat and can deplete rapidly. When your screen grays out from exhaustion, retreat to recover. Overeating reduces your maximum stamina, so manage your food intake carefully. An opponent with better stamina management will be harder to defeat.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Mastering alchemy lets you craft essential potions like Savior Schnapps, and gathering herbs also boosts Henry's Strength. As a blacksmith, you can create weapons and horseshoes, and remember to keep your weapons sharp. By excelling in these crafts, you can produce top-tier items and earn Groschen by selling them.

Side Quests
The game world is rich with side quests that are just as compelling as the main storyline. Completing only the main quests may lock you out of some side quests and their rewards, so explore and engage with the world around you.
