Main Level Leveling & Perks Guide: And

Unlock the secrets to mastering the Main Level in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Discover the best perks like Well-Built and Charming Man to enhance your gameplay.

Your Main Level in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II acts as an overall indicator of Henry's growth, reflecting the combined levels of your core stats: Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Speech. While it doesn't directly affect equipment or general statistics like other skills, it does have its own unique set of Perks. The Main Level caps at 30, and reaching this cap requires maxing out most other stats, making it a significant undertaking.

Main Level XP is primarily gained through increasing your Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Speech stats, as well as by completing Quests. Grinding for Main Level XP is challenging, as it's the slowest stat to level. While Skill Trainers and Skill Books for other stats can indirectly contribute to Main Level XP by boosting related stats (e.g., Scholarship for Speech, Stealth for Agility), there are no direct Skill Books for Main Level XP itself.

You receive a Perk Point every two Main Levels (e.g., at levels 6, 8, 10). Prioritizing certain Perks is recommended due to the significant investment required to unlock them all. Key Perks to consider early on include:

• Well-Built: Increases carrying capacity per Strength level, scaling from 10 to 12 points, which is crucial for managing inventory, especially with heavy armor.
• Charming Man: Boosts all reputation gains by 10%, improving haggling prices and social interactions.
• Martin’s Heritage or Radzig’s Heritage: These mutually exclusive Perks offer increased XP gain for specific skill sets. Martin’s Heritage benefits Swords, Crafting, and Survival, while Radzig’s Heritage benefits Heavy Weapons, Marksmanship, and Scholarship. Choose the one that aligns with your preferred playstyle.
• Night Crawler: Provides bonuses to Stealth, Agility, and Vitality (+2), with an additional +3 bonus specifically for Stealth, aiding in nighttime infiltration and criminal activities.
• Local Hero: Grants a +2 bonus to Strength, Agility, and Vitality when your reputation in an area reaches 60 or higher. This Perk is further enhanced by having the Charming Man Perk.
