In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse cast of NPCs, ranging from friendly to hostile, and deciphering their intentions can often be challenging. If you're curious about how to handle the Wandering Drunk, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this encounter.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location
The Wandering Drunk is located in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, slightly off the beaten path from the main roads. As you head north, you'll encounter a herdsman who will caution you about a dangerous vagabond in the vicinity, warning that he attacks anyone who approaches him.
Upon reaching the barn, you'll find the Beggar NPC, known as the Wandering Drunk, sitting just outside. He will become hostile if you get too close. There appears to be no peaceful way to interact with him; your only options are to fight and either kill him or knock him out.
After subduing him, you can loot his body to obtain a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Additionally, exploring the barn itself will yield a few other items that you can either sell or use later in your journey.
What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?
The game provides no explicit backstory for the Wandering Drunk, but he may be reminiscent of a similar Beggar NPC from the first game, who had also lost everything and become a vagabond without further narrative involvement. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk has lost his home and family, and the door and chest keys he carries are remnants of his past life, included for atmospheric detail.
Many NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* carry keys that serve no apparent purpose, and the same likely applies to the keys found on the Wandering Drunk. These items add depth to the game's world but don't unlock any specific doors or chests within the game's current narrative.
That covers everything you need to know about dealing with the Wandering Drunk in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including guides on curing food poisoning and romancing Hans Capon, be sure to visit The Escapist.
