In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse range of NPCs, each with their own unique stories and intentions. One such character you might come across is the Wandering Drunk, and if you're unsure about how to handle this encounter, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this situation.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location
The Wandering Drunk can be found 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 him.
Upon reaching the abandoned barn, you'll see a Beggar NPC seated just outside. Be cautious, as he becomes hostile if you venture too close. Unfortunately, there's no way to engage with him peacefully; your only options are to fight him, either to kill him or knock him out.
After subduing him, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Additionally, a thorough search of the barn will yield other items that you can either sell or use later in your journey.
What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?
The game offers no specific clues about the Wandering Drunk's identity. However, he may be reminiscent of a similar Beggar NPC from the original game, who also lost everything and became a vagabond without any attached questlines. It's probable 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 rather than functionality.
Many NPCs in the game carry keys that have no clear purpose, and the same likely applies to the Wandering Drunk. These keys add to the realism and atmosphere of the game, but they don't unlock anything specific in your current journey.
