Handling the Wandering Drunk in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Tips and Strategies

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse range of NPCs, from the friendly to the hostile, and it's not always clear what their intentions are. If you're curious about what to do with the Wandering Drunk, here's your guide.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

The Wandering Drunk can be found in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, off a tangent from the main roads. As you ride north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns you about a vagabond nearby, known to attack anyone who approaches him.

Upon reaching the barn, you'll spot a Beggar NPC sitting just outside. He becomes hostile if you get too close, leaving you with little choice but to engage in combat. Whether you decide to kill or knock him out, you can then loot his body for a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Don't forget to explore the barn itself for additional items that you can either sell or use later in your journey.

What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?

The game doesn't provide any backstory for the Wandering Drunk. However, he might be a reference to a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who had lost everything and turned into a vagabond. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk is someone who has lost his home and family, and the keys you find on him are remnants of his past life, included for narrative depth.

Many NPCs in the game carry keys that don't lead to any specific locations or quests, and the same is likely true for the keys from the Wandering Drunk.
