Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – How to Poison Bandit Camps

by

In the hypothetical sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players will find themselves with a variety of approaches for Henry’s character development. They could choose a path of physical prowess as a knight, or focus on charm and charisma for diplomatic solutions. For those preferring less direct encounters, stealth and covert tactics can be employed to manage specific situations.

If Henry desires to evade conflict or manages numerous adversaries, poison can be an advantageous choice. Bandit encampments, rich in materials, garments, and weapons, are inconvenient yet profitable targets. Therefore, the benefits of eliminating them are significant. However, tackling 4-6 individuals at once is no small task, making poison a helpful solution. This guide offers all essential information for KCD2 players to locate and poison bandit camps.

How to Poison Bandit Camps in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bandit camps of adversaries are usually located beyond the Settlements across Bohemia. You may encounter a few in Apollonia, and they’re immediately hostile. Once you locate an enemy camp, it gets marked on your map. It’s not advisable to engage multiple enemies during daylight unless you have robust armor and powerful weapons. An alternative strategy is to contaminate their food or drink barrels, which makes enemies fall sick with minimal effort from you.

How to Get Poison

Before launching an attack on the enemy’s base, it is essential that players have poison in their possession. They can obtain poison through two possible methods:

  • Purchase poison
  • Brew poison at an Alchemy Bench.

Poisons aren’t readily available from any ordinary shop due to their dangerous character. However, players who know where to look can find them. There’s a fellow named Barnaby, an herbalist, residing north of Trosky Castle. Players can visit him and purchase various types of poisons, recipes, and ingredients. Additionally, Aranka in the Nomad Camp also offers poison and recipes, but they come at a high price, so players should be prepared with Groschen.

Here are the three kinds of toxins that Henry may encounter, as detailed in the following table. Each has unique consequences.

Three distinct poisons pose a risk to Henry, as outlined in the table below. Each carries its own set of potential impacts.

Poison Affects
Bane Poison Makes running impossible and reduces Health by 110 in 45 seconds.
Dollmaker Poison Makes running impossible and reduces all weapon skills by 3. Gradually reduces Health by 20.
Lullaby Poison Reduces Energy to 0 and decrease perception. Reduces Stamina and Stamina regeneration by 10% for a quarter of a day.

In the game KCD2, Bane Poison stands out as the optimal choice for contaminating Bandit camps. However, players have the option to use Dollmaker as well, but keep in mind that its effectiveness might not be as strong compared to Bane Poison.

How to Use Poison in Enemy Camps

Once players select their preferred poison, they can employ it to contaminate bandit encampments. Typically, these camps feature a communal cooking pot and a water barrel. To effectively poison the camp, Henry needs to discreetly add the poison either to the pot or the barrel, and then have the bandits consume the contaminated food or drink without suspicion. Since not everyone drinks at the same time, tainting the food is a more dependable method for achieving success.

The optimal approach is to employ stealthy tactics and bide your time until the camp is asleep, so no one catches sight of Henry. There are certain outfits that Henry can don to enhance his stealth abilities. Players may observe the camp to determine their meal patterns; however, they usually eat shortly after waking up and before retiring for the night. If waiting for all enemies to fall asleep isn’t feasible, Henry can either toss pebbles or let Mutt bark loudly to divert their attention from the cooking pot.

It’s crucial that players synchronize their actions, ensuring everyone in the camp finishes eating around the same time post-applying the poison. Otherwise, they might suspect the food has been altered and prepare a fresh batch.

After Henry adds the toxic substance to their supplies, he’ll need to be patient since the effects set in quickly. If the majority of the adversaries consume it, Henry will be able to neutralize most, if not all of them. He can eliminate any remaining foes should they survive.
