Food

Manage Henry's Nourishment stat in kingdom come deliverance ii. Learn how to find, buy, and consume food to avoid the Hunger debuff and starvation.

The Nourishment stat, found in the Inventory and Player submenus on the bottom right of the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap), measures Henry's need for food. It starts at 100 and depletes over time. If it drops too low, Henry will suffer debuffs and can starve to death.

Hunger Debuff

When Nourishment falls below 50%, Henry will receive the Hunger debuff and complain about being hungry. Initially, this debuff reduces Stamina, with the reduction increasing as Nourishment decreases. At 0% Nourishment, Henry will begin to take slow Health damage. Consuming any food will stop active starvation temporarily by bringing Nourishment above 0%.

Finding Food

Food can be found by hunting animals (considered poaching), by throwing rocks at bird's nests for eggs, and some herbs and potions also provide Nourishment. However, it is not necessary to rely on self-sufficiency as food is readily available for purchase from merchants, farmers, and innkeepers for a few groschen. Brewing and selling a single batch of potions can provide enough groschen to buy food. Renting a room from an innkeeper allows you to eat their stew, with each pot providing over 100 Nourishment if you take multiple spoonfuls, which is more than you lose in a day. Once you are comfortable brewing and selling potions, which should be achievable during the prologue, acquiring food should not be a problem, and renting lodgings at an inn further simplifies this necessity.
