Savior Schnapps
While the game auto-saves during crucial story moments, sleeping, or when you exit, you'll need Savior Schnapps to save at your convenience. This alcoholic beverage isn't easy to find, but you can acquire it in a few ways. Merchants occasionally sell it, so keep an eye out and purchase it when you can. Alternatively, you can brew it yourself using alchemy. Just remember, Savior Schnapps contains alcohol, so if Henry is already tipsy, using it to save might push his intoxication to dangerous levels.

Find Mutt
Mutt, the loyal dog, is an invaluable companion. He assists in combat, helps with investigations, and can even boost your stats through his skill tree. As soon as you have the chance, embark on the quest to find him. You won't regret having Mutt by your side.

Drying and Smoking
Food preservation is key in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Meat can be smoked in smokehouses, while other foods can be dried in drying cabinets to extend their shelf life. Similarly, herbs and mushrooms, essential for potions, will last longer if dried.

Personal Chest
In rented tavern rooms or designated sleeping areas, you'll find a personal chest. These chests are synchronized, allowing you to store items in one and retrieve them from another. It's a convenient way to manage your inventory and store heavy or unnecessary items. Stolen items placed in your personal chest will lose their stolen status over time, taking between 3 to 12 days depending on their value.

Appearance Matters
Your appearance in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* significantly impacts how NPCs interact with you. A foul smell or ragged clothing can lead to poor treatment, whereas a clean and well-dressed Henry can command respect or intimidate. Use basins or bathhouses to clean yourself and your clothes, and consider repairing or purchasing better attire. Different outfits suit different situations, so use the preset option in your inventory to quickly change between them.

Monitor Your Stamina
Stamina is crucial in combat, depleting rapidly if you're not careful. When your screen starts to gray out from exhaustion, it's time to retreat and rest. Without stamina, you can't block attacks, and taking hits will further reduce your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it can decrease your stamina capacity. Mastering stamina management can give you an edge in battles.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Delving into alchemy allows you to craft essential potions, including Savior Schnapps, quickly. It also boosts Henry's Strength stat, beneficial for a warrior-alchemist. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and don't forget to maintain your gear by sharpening your weapons. Mastering these crafts not only equips you with the best items but also provides a way to earn Groschen by selling your creations.

Focusing solely on main quests can cause you to miss out on side quests and their rewards, as some become unavailable after certain story progressions. Make sure to explore and engage with the world around you.
