In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse range of NPCs, from the friendly to the hostile, but discerning their intentions isn't always straightforward. If you're curious about how to handle the Wandering Drunk in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, here's a comprehensive guide to help you out.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location
The Wandering Drunk is located in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, off the beaten path from the main roads. As you travel north, you'll encounter a herdsman who will caution you about a dangerous vagabond lurking nearby, ready to attack anyone who approaches.
Upon reaching the barn, you'll spot a Beggar NPC sitting just outside. Be warned: he turns hostile if you venture too close. Interaction with him is limited; your only options are to engage in combat, either to kill him or knock him out.
After defeating him, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Further exploration of the barn will yield additional 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. However, he might be a nod to a similar Beggar NPC from the original game, who also lost everything and became a vagabond without any attached questlines. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk is someone who has lost his home and family, and the door and chest keys he carries are remnants of his past life, included for narrative depth.
Many NPCs in the game carry keys that serve no clear purpose, and the same likely applies to the Wandering Drunk. These keys add to the realism and immersion of the game world, even if they don't unlock any specific doors or chests within the game.
