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, and it can be challenging to discern their intentions. If you're curious about how to handle the Wandering Drunk, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this encounter.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

The Wandering Drunk can be found in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, off the beaten path from the main roads. As you travel north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns you about a dangerous vagabond lurking nearby, ready to attack anyone who approaches.

Upon reaching the abandoned barn, you'll spot a Beggar NPC sitting just outside. Be cautious, as he becomes hostile if you venture too close. Unfortunately, there's no way to engage with him peacefully; your only options are to fight and either kill 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 will yield other items that you can either sell or use later in your journey.

What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?

The game provides no explicit information about the identity of the Wandering Drunk. However, he might be a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who also lost everything and became a vagabond without any attached questlines. It's probable that the Wandering Drunk is someone who has lost his home and family, and the door and chest keys he carries are likely remnants of his past life, included for narrative depth.

Many NPCs in the game carry keys that serve no clear purpose, and the same is likely true for the Wandering Drunk. These keys add to the realism and backstory of the characters, even if they don't unlock any specific doors or chests within the game.
