Why Do You Need to Be Clean in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Cleanliness in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* directly impacts your social interactions. If you're covered in dirt and blood or wearing tattered clothing, NPCs are less likely to engage with you, which can hinder your ability to gather crucial information. Moreover, even with high Speech skills, being unclean will impose a debuff on your Speech and charisma, making it challenging to succeed in persuasion attempts. Keeping clean, therefore, is not just about aesthetics; it's a strategic element of gameplay.

How to Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To maintain your hygiene, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* offers three primary methods of cleaning: using troughs, visiting bathing spots, and going to bathhouses.

Troughs

Troughs are a common sight in the game's open world, typically found near major stores or buildings in towns and outposts. Interacting with a trough allows Henry to wash his face, removing some blood and dirt. However, this method does not clean your clothes, so it's more of a quick fix than a thorough cleanse.

Bathing Spots

For a slightly more effective clean, you can use bathing spots, which are located near large bodies of water like bigger ponds or rivers. A notable spot is west of the Nomads’ Camp and the Cumans’ Camp in the Trotsky region. Simply walk into the water to wash your clothes. While this method is better than using troughs, it still doesn't guarantee complete cleanliness.

Bathhouses

The most thorough way to clean yourself is by visiting a bathhouse, typically found in larger towns. For a small fee in Groschen, you can enjoy a comprehensive wash that cleans both your clothes and removes all blood and dirt from Henry. This is the best option for maintaining peak cleanliness and should be utilized regularly to keep your character in top shape.

By following these methods, you can ensure that Henry remains clean and presentable, enhancing your gameplay experience in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
