Saving Carefully: Useful Gameplay Tips

Learn how to save your progress in Kingdom Come: Deliverance! Discover the benefits and drawbacks of sleeping in beds versus using Saviour Schnapps.

Alright, let's talk about saving your game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. This is super important, especially when you're just starting out and don't want to lose hours of progress. You've got two main ways to do this: finding a bed to sleep in, or using a special potion called Saviour Schnapps.

Sleeping and Saving:

The most straightforward way to save is by finding a bed. Think of it like this: if Henry is recognized and welcomed in a place, he can usually sleep there and save his game. A good example is the Rattay Mill. If you see a bed in a place where Henry belongs, chances are you can use it to save. It’s free and doesn't mess with your stats, so it's always the preferred method when available.

Saviour Schnapps: The Anywhere Save (with a catch!)

Now, for those times when you can't find a bed, or you just want to save right then and there, there's Saviour Schnapps. This potion lets you save pretty much anywhere, as long as you're not in the middle of a fight. Sounds great, right? Well, there's a catch.

Using Saviour Schnapps too often can lead to alcoholism, which is a real bummer because it negatively affects Henry's stats. Plus, early in the game, these potions can be pretty pricey and vendors don't always have a lot in stock. You can sometimes find them hidden in caches, especially around bandit camps, but it's not a guaranteed supply.

So, while Saviour Schnapps is a lifesaver when you're in a pinch, try to rely on beds whenever you can to keep Henry in good shape and save some Groschen!
