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

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, cleanliness directly impacts your social interactions. If you're covered in dirt and blood or dressed shabbily, NPCs are less likely to engage with you, which can hinder your ability to gather crucial information. Moreover, even if you have a high Speech skill, being dirty imposes a debuff on your Speech and charisma, making it tougher to succeed in persuasion checks. Staying clean is therefore essential for navigating the game's social landscape effectively.

How to Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To ensure you remain clean, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* offers three primary methods for bathing: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.

Troughs

Troughs are widespread throughout the game's world. You can typically find them outside major stores or buildings in towns or outposts. Interacting with a trough allows Henry to wash his face, which removes some blood and dirt. However, this method does not clean your clothes, so it's a partial solution to staying clean.

Bathing Spots

Bathing spots are located near larger bodies of water, such as ponds or rivers. One such spot is found west of the Nomads' Camp and the Cumans' Camp in the Trotsky region. Simply walking into the water helps wash your clothes to some extent. While this method is more effective than using troughs, it still doesn't make you completely clean.

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 bathe and ensure that both your clothes and Henry are thoroughly cleaned of all blood and dirt. Regular visits to a bathhouse are recommended to maintain peak cleanliness.

By following these methods, you can keep yourself clean in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, enhancing your social interactions and quest success. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
