What to Do With the Wandering Drunk in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, ranging from friendly to hostile, can leave you questioning their motives. This guide focuses on the Wandering Drunk.

Locating the Wandering Drunk

The Wandering Drunk resides in a derelict barn situated north of Semine, slightly off the main pathways. A herdsman nearby will warn you of a hostile vagrant in the area. Approaching the barn, you'll find a beggar NPC outside; he'll become aggressive if you get too close. Currently, meaningful interaction beyond combat (killing or incapacitating him) seems impossible. After defeating him, you can loot his corpse for a gemstone ring, keys, and a small sum of groschen. The barn itself also contains additional lootable items.

The Mystery of the Keys

The game offers no clues regarding the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be a nod to a similar beggar NPC from the first game, a character who lost everything and became a vagrant without any associated quests. It's plausible the keys he carries belonged to his former home, serving merely as a narrative detail. Many NPCs in the game possess keys with unknown purposes upon looting or pickpocketing, suggesting the Wandering Drunk's keys follow this pattern.
