In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse range of NPCs, each with their own unique behaviors and intentions. One such character is the Wandering Drunk, and if you're unsure about how to handle him, 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 in the vicinity. This is your cue to head towards the abandoned barn.
Upon arrival, you'll notice a Beggar NPC sitting outside the barn. Be cautious, as he will become hostile if you approach too closely. Interaction with him seems limited to combat; you can either fight him to defeat him or knock him out. Once he's down, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Additionally, exploring the barn itself will yield other items you can use or sell later.
What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?
The game doesn't provide explicit information about the Wandering Drunk's identity or backstory. However, it's possible that he's a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who also became a vagabond after losing everything. The keys you find on him likely belonged to his former home, serving as a poignant reminder of his past life rather than being relevant to any ongoing quests.
Many NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* carry keys that don't unlock anything specific within the game, and the Wandering Drunk's keys probably fall into this category. They add depth to the character's backstory without providing a functional purpose within the gameplay.
