Top 8 Tips and Tricks to Excel in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

And garlic has negative nourishment so can always be eaten, and can have potions applied to it (but only 1 garlic per potion used, unlike 5 waters)

The dog is also a great way to orient yourself on hardcore mode. just have him stay at the arena in Rattay and he will always be on your compass so you always know approximately what direction you're going

[@Griff_Gaming]

Very true! I use him all the time in the Hans Hunting Quest and leave him at the camp to go get extra hunting XP. If it gets to be night time in the woods it's so easy to get lost there so I just navigate back to him!

[@brad6817]

Games like this I’m OK with mechanics being poorly explained. I love the feeling of some thing being a pain in the ass and then I figure out a better way of doing it a.k.a. the way you should’ve done it all along. I saw a video yesterday about someone complaining about the initial combat tutorial not explaining anything isn’t that kind of the point he wasn’t being taught by master it was just some random dude. I would love to wipe my memory and play this game and red dead redemption two again. Anyway, rant over the love videos man. I watched your video on drinking in kcd and I use that tip all the time now.

[@Griff_Gaming]

I agree with you! It took me probably a couple hundred hours with the game before I was really comfortable with all the mechanics and even today I still discover new things on each playthrough. I'm hoping this just opens up things for those that do complain to help them realize the game has everything you need, just listen to dialogue, advance the main questline and don't be afraid to make mistakes and mess around.

[@mitchkupietz]

OMG YOU ARE A LEGEND!! I’ve played this game for about 4 years and didn’t know a couple of these! You deserves millions of subs ❤

[@Griff_Gaming]

Thank you! Glad you got something out of it even as a long time player!

[@mikkelturtvig]

I will add one. if you hunt for meat it will be marked as stolen unless you have been made huntsman of Talmberg. However if you take the meat to a campfire or cooking stove and cook it, it removes the stolen tag from the meat, so you can sell it to anyone who deals in food items

[@Griff_Gaming]

That's a good one! I'll add to it and say when the food is cooked it doubles it's life (from 1 day before spoiled to 2) and it raises the value of the meat slightly so you get that little bit extra from vendors

[@bnwbnw3]

I've played hundreds of hours and never knew you could apply potions to water like that! So neat. Thanks for these good tips. I barely ever find tips and tricks videos that actually have something I don't know! Great vid! Subscribed

Another one is - get the contemplate perk ASAP. Being able to use the “wait” function WITHOUT loosing energy and nourishment is just incredible.

[@Griff_Gaming]

Haha I forgot about that perk. They take it away for hardcore mode do I haven't selected it in forever! It was nice though

[@philipped.r.6385]

I didn't know the trick about the saddle or the drinking waters and I have slightly more than 1000 hours of playtime on Steam! Thanks a lot! It's amazing! A little tip for players who love to steal everything in Talmberg in the prologue before going back to Skalitz to bury your parents, but don't want to be overburdened is that if you escape from the city with a stolen uniform, the guards won't declare an alert at all. So, you don't have to hurry to Skalitz. You can go to the town's inn (south of the city on the other side of the river a little before the Master Huntsman's lodge), rent a room, drop all your non needed gear and loot in your room's chest and go back to Skalitz. Everything will be in your chest at the mill once you regain consciousness in Rattay and you will be able to sell it. Some will still be marked as stolen of course. I generally come to Talmberg loaded with a ton of herbs and then I steal everything that I can from the armory, so I have a lot of stuff to drop in the chest! 😆

[@Griff_Gaming]

On the other hand, if you do take everything to Skalitz, it automatically gets rid of stolen tags if it's in your inventory when you get transported to Rattay. So even though it's a massive pain in the ass to walk all the way to Skalitz overburdened, it is worth it since all the stuff can immediately be sold or worn as soon as you wake up!

Here I am with a bit over 300 hours and had no idea about the drinking water and the saddle. The drinking water one is so broken, saving so many potions. The brewing of potions tip is welcome too. Glad I found this guide since it's hard to find useful tips after playing for over 300 hours.

[@Griff_Gaming]

I'm glad you got something out of it! Happy to see I can provide useful stuff to people with lots of time invested!

[@WaterMeA-biscuit]

Another few tips and tricks; at the beginning of the game, there are a few guards that roam around Skalitz which can be taken down silently if you quickly go behind them. Hide their bodies and then loot their gear. You'll have some armor which might help you defeat some cumans and have extra gear to sell eventually. Also, before you go further into the mission before Skalitz gets destroyed don't forget to go into your house and get into the chests. I think there is one that needs picked, it will have some stuff and also you may find one of the demonic die in there as well.

[@suribachi8698]

235 Hours in game and I did not know about the drinking water. Knowing that might actually prompt a hardcore run from me. Great Video!

[@hanneswurstbrot6902]

i would add one big improvement: before going hunting with capon you have to learn the master strike from Bernard. I suggest doing it as early as possible, cause if you start the hunting quest it takes a long time till Bernard is ready to train you again and the master strike is singlehandedly the most op weapon action in the game. btw the weapontype you learn it with doesn´t matter it unlocks it for every meleeweapon.

[@Griff_Gaming]

Very true, I had covered it in previous vids so I didn't mention it here but master strike is great to know early

When it comes to the searches, I just let them come to me, initiate the conversation, but offer to pay them instead of trying my speech or charisma on them. Gets rid of them AND doesn't cost me any reputation. Rep actually goes up.

[@Griff_Gaming]

That's fair and a great strat as well. I guess my goal with that tip was to show that the nature of the crime matter. Games like Skyrim will take all stolen gear away whether you get pickpockets someone or kill a chicken. This one varies so if you get caught doing a crime like disturbing the peace, they don't automatically take everything stolen out of your inventory

Loved this list/video. Half of these I haven't know, and I've beaten the game 3 times! A tip that I use every playthrough is that it's possible to kill all the Cumans at the start. Once you mount the horse, ride back and forth through the Cumans while stabbing with the sword, don't slash. The sword can't break and does massive damage. You can easily kill them all and then choose the loot you want to take with you and sell later.

[@danielsfreddo6775]

One thing worth mentioning is that you can do the same "item wash" from peshek tip with almost everyone - every trader has a chest that stores every coin spent with him, so, (e.g.) you can buy some savior schnapps from an alehouse maiden and get the gold back from the tavern chest, you just need to find the correct chest. The only exception that i found is when you buy a horse, the gold seems to vanish - dont know if it is the same with other "services" related like the baths, but with "normal" items it seems to always work.

[@Griff_Gaming]

That's a great point. You can do it with vendor it just always seems Peshek is the easiest. Since he never accesses his chest once it's unlocked it always stays unlocked unlike normal vendors that put their items in the chest every night and relock them. Neuhof stud farm is another chest I like to do the item washing since she never relocked the chest either and seems to have only a 2-3 day restock cycle

[@InfiresSMan]

I have over 300 hours in this game and I even learned shit today. Holy crap thank you so much. That saddle trick is now going to be my go to.

I play this game so many times and I never thought about using the potions on the water. I've never even used the potions on food. The only time I've ever used a potion is to poison the sword I'm using As for the guard stopping you to check for stolen goods, I never thought of that either. What I would just do is ignore them all together and just keep moving until I got to my home chest and put everything in there period of course after that I have noticed immediately I wanted after that. I never thought about just fighting them off and then surrendering. Because I always thought that would not work See now I have to go back and start over and get that nobleman saddle for free

Wish i watched this before i just started a new playthrough. The 4 saddlebags would have been really nice rn.

[@Griff_Gaming]

It's alright. There's a spot you can still get that for free as a quest reward fairly early into the main questline. After completing the Ginger in a Pickle questline, go back to Nora in Neuhof and she has a quest for you. If you "win" what her quest objective is she will give you the noble saddle w 4 bags for free. Not sure if this is your first playthrough so I tried to keep it fairly vague so as not to spoil anything

[@crackerjackrappr]

I just started a new game and decided to become a traveling alchemist, started by making marigold decoctions by using the no boil method, ran it until i had auto brew. Huge thing with auto brew, if you spam the auto brew button you can essentially just non stop make potions with no camera swing or delay in making, just keep spamming the auto brew button. Each auto brew only gives 2xp vs the 40xp from making on from scratch, but spamming the auto brew you can get that 40xp worth with WAYYY more potions made in the same amount of time. It does take infinitely more resources, but marigold and nettle is so easy to find it’s insane. Once i got to level 15, i was able to make hundreds of potions in minutes and made an easy 30k groshen by the time i started playing the main game.

[@Griff_Gaming]

Yeah, getting auto brew is no doubt a gamechanger for the Alchemy tree. I've never been able to do it endlessly but I know I've been able to at least do it 2 times back to back (essentially making 6 potions at a time). There is a bunch of resources right around Rattay to collect on ingredients too so usually in my playthroughs I don't run into too many issues finding the herbs (at least low level ones like nettles, marigolds, and dandelions). Glad to see you roleplaying as a certain kind of character. Definitely a viable option of money making!

Amazing after hundreds of hours I actually learned something useful, great video

Just recently got this game for 3bucks through Xbox deals I die a lot Beacuse of the combat system but it’s amazing I deleted Starfield for this gem

The combat gets a bit easier the further you go and learn new abilities. It is a fantastic game though!

Another trick, so as not to get searched with stolen gear, is to transfer it to your horse BEFORE leaving the building where you stole it. (It’s a strange quirk of the game, that it allows you to transfer stuff to your horse even when your horse is a long way away from where you are… The Developers presumably did that, to save you the hassle of walking back & forth to your horse endlessly, especially when overburdened with looted armour & other heavy items taken from the corpses of defeated Bandits & so forth?) Either way, to be on the safe side, if you’re looting numerous shops in Rattay for example, do that with each one, then WALK out of the Town & - once you’re a safe distance outside - WHISTLE for your horse & ride off to your nearest Trunk. 😊👍

[@Griff_Gaming]

Now to the best of my knowledge they had removed the feature where stolen gear was safe on the horse (patch 1.5 maybe). So if the gear is on your horse or you just drop it in the ground so it's not "in your inventory" the guard grab it either way

[@the5thmusketeer215]

@@Griff_Gaming I thought that only applied if you were on or with your Horse at the time… Does that apply if your horse is nowhere near you when you get searched? For example, when I stole Hanush’s Illuminated Manuscript from his chambers in Rattay, my Horse was parked on the other side of Town, but the game still allowed me to transfer the book to my Horse, as soon as I stole it, before even leaving his chambers… If I got stopped & searched by a guard while trying to walk out of his chambers, would the guard search & find the book in my Horse’s inventory, even though my Horse isn’t with me at the time?

[@Griff_Gaming]

Not gonna lie, that might work but my horse is never far away from me so I should word it better. The guards always find anything stolen on my horse because it's almost exclusively parked 5 feet from me. It could be it's a distance thing so that might just work

[@thedudeWG]

Great tips, thanks! Is it possible to leave the saddle on the horse until you return to Tallemburg? I had to drop so much of my loot on the Homecoming quest because I was burdened with that saddle.

[@Griff_Gaming]

Not on the horse since it despawns but after leaving Talmberg before headed to Skalitz, stop off at the inn and rent a room for 1 day. Costs 2 groschen but it has a shared loot chest. Put all the gear in there and it'll be waiting in your chest in Rattay when you wake up! Hope that helps

[@thedudeWG]

@@Griff_Gaming that’s another great idea! It definitely helps! Cheers!!!

10/10 great video man. I've watched a few and yours was the only one that not only were all the tips incredibly useful but they were tips no one else has talked about. Bravo!

[@Griff_Gaming]

Thank you!! I'm glad it helped get you some actual advice! I was really hoping to avoid obvious stuff that everyone already knew so I'm glad I was able to do that!

[@peregrination3643]

I guess I've had good enough Speech so it hasn't mattered, but I have been putting stolen goods on my horse thinking it was only my person who got searched. Had no idea all this time I've still been at risk.

[@Griff_Gaming]

That used to be the case when the game first came out. Not sure which patch it was but if you get caught (and searched) they not only take inventory off you and your horse, any stolen inventory you dropped on the ground in the surrounding area also gets taken so it's clutch to just not give them the chance to search you!

[@Natsu01]

Didn't know about the drinking water trick. But regards to the potion making I like to do the boiling as I like the realism of the game. I'm on about my 6th play through August 2024 😊

[@Griff_Gaming]

Trust me, I do too. But between filming for the channel and my offline playthroughs, I think I'm mist likely on my 20th playthrough. Eventually you start looking for ways to cut some of the grind

Nice tips ! One more which could save me some hours is to.. AVOID DLC QUEST and the dog before finishing the story ! It cause the game to load forever after the trebuchet cutscene. (I'm on ps5 so no mod can save me)

[@Griff_Gaming]

Nice to know. Oddly enough I played on console for about 5 years exclusively but never ran into the issue so I must have just been lucky!

[@MikePankeyk]

Cool video! Btw, how did you get your stuff when you killed Pious? Just finished the monastery quest but I can't seem to remember where my stuff was stored when I started the quest.

Love this game and played it about 300 hours on PC. I just bought it on my PS5 and I’m pretty surprised of how stable it runs even at 30 FPS.

[@Griff_Gaming]

I'd say overall the game is more enjoyable on pc because i typically average 100 fps on ultra settings but stability through Rattay is better with ps5. I don't really notice a dip in performance on ps5 but its jarring when on pc it dips to about 40 fps riding through there

[@jangiurg5295]

Best way to make money - steal tons of things in Rattay (weapons/armor). Give it all to Peshek for free. Wait for a few days. Break into the barn, steal back all the items you gave him plus a ton of money he gained. Rinse and repeat.

[@draenzle]

@@jangiurg5295 how do u give it all for free

[@gioviocorleone6577]

The chest has magic. You just place your stuff inside the chest and wait until all your stuff transform into money. I call it magic chest exploit. You completely bypass the middle man and stealing his money in the process.

[@LeinGamer]

For the 4: Final offer perk is amazing because it lets you recover most of your stuff before spending all your money

I don't think anyone talked about this exploit before: If you go back to Skalitz(from the backdoor, it's the only available entrance) after getting your bed at the Rattay mill, two groups of people would always spawn fighting each other. They are either well-geared bandits, cumans, town guards, or (worst case scenario) some poorly geared merchants. Here's how the fights usually end up: Bandits > Guards > Cumans > merchants Try to bait the survivors out of town and return for the loot. You'd have yourselves the best gears in the game, especially armors. Sell the spurs and use the money for repair. I highly recommend taking the mule perks for more loot per run. Don't try to fight them if you're new to the game. Every one of them fights like a Bernard. Avoid being caught looting dead guards if he's got companions alive though. Important: I also have a quest to find treasure under a birdcage in Skalitz or something activated. You can get this quest talking to Kunesh(the guy in prologue who owes Henry's dad money) in Rattay. I did not complete this quest, not sure if it's related to my exploit.

[@Griff_Gaming]

I actually talk about it in my drinking guide. It's my fav place to loot farm and show how you can get everything there into your shared chest easily by blacking out. It's a great spot though so worth mentioning for sure kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJiUmH-pm7iEhc0si=AwKlQ7BHB0MU7zyu
