In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse cast of NPCs, ranging from the friendly to the outright hostile. Among these is the enigmatic Wandering Drunk, and understanding how to interact with him can be crucial. Here's your guide to dealing with this character in the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location
The Wandering Drunk resides in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, accessible via a detour from the main roads. As you travel northward, you'll encounter a herdsman who cautions you about a dangerous vagabond in the vicinity. Proceed to the barn, and you'll spot a Beggar NPC stationed just outside. Be warned: he turns hostile upon your approach. There's no peaceful way to engage with him; your only options are to fight and either kill or knock him out.
Once you've dealt with the Wandering Drunk, you can search his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Don't forget to scour the barn itself for additional items that you can either sell or keep for future use.
What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?
The Wandering Drunk's identity remains shrouded in mystery within the game. He might be a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*, a man who had lost everything and turned into a wandering soul with no attached quests. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk lost his home and family, leaving him with the door and chest keys as mere remnants of his past life, adding depth to his character.
Like many other NPCs in the game, the keys found on the Wandering Drunk serve as atmospheric elements rather than keys to specific locations. You'll find that other characters also carry keys that don't lead to any discernible locks, enhancing the realism and immersion of the game world.
