Choosing an Effective Starting Path in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Having a good start in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is very important. So, how should you choose your starting route? Below, we'll provide recommended starting paths for beginners.
1. Follow the Storyline: Make potions to help the lesser lord and gather all the Sage and Chamomile you can find.
2. After Parting Ways: After the two characters go their separate ways, chat with the beggar by the roadside to receive a lockpick, then choose the herbalist option to start continuously crafting Chamomile potions.
3. Selling Your Potions: Sell all your Chamomile potions to the apothecary. Keep the surplus Sage and Chamomile that you may not have space for. Purchase the remaining herbs, charcoal, poison mushrooms, and boar tusks, along with any available books. Search the areas around Troskowitz for additional herbs, especially those that the apothecary doesn’t sell.
4. Alchemy Leveling: Level up your alchemy to 16, select the Herbalist, "Mysteries of Objects," "Mysteries of Objects ||," "Secrets Within Secrets," and "Apprentice of Dark Magic." After reaching level 24, craft Henry's Fox Potion. From then on, keep the Fox Potion buff until you reach the save point.
1. Head Straight to Semirechinski Stables
During the day, head directly to Semirechinski Stables. If you encounter enemies, navigate around them without engaging. The horse trader might have some interesting dialogue, and with the fox buff, you can easily take down small gray creatures.
2. Access Your Private Chest
You can unlock your personal chest at either a tavern or by visiting the blacksmith during the main quest.
3. Collect the Full Set of Brünn Gear
If you pre-ordered the game, make sure to gather the complete Brünn set.
4. Retrieve the Lost Companion
Look for your lost companion, who may have gone missing, thus completing the 'Finding Dodo' mission.
5. Start Side Quests Involving Horses and Dogs
Engage in side quests that involve horses and dogs, as they can be quite enjoyable and rewarding.
6. Perform Tasks During the Day and Brew at Night
Complete quests during the day and return home by midnight to continue your alchemical work. Almost all potions will come in handy, even if you don’t consume them yourself, as they will be needed for various missions. After becoming an apprentice in dark magic, you'll need to pick locks around the area. Remember, only pick locks you can successfully open; avoid stealing other items. Unless you're caught in the act, being spotted in someone’s private property won’t cause much trouble—just exit the area quickly.
7. Practice Lockpicking Skills
Once your lockpicking level is increased, along with using the skilled hands potion to tackle harder locks, it’s best to maintain a low profile during the day and avoid trouble. Before nightfall, save your game and head to the upstairs of the scribe’s building to collect all the books. With the benefits of the Radzik legacy and fox buff, you should start reading to enhance your knowledge.

The main focus now is to find books and level up your scholarly skills to 18, unlocking the entire map. After that, it’s all about enjoying your time in Bohemia.
The gameplay of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is incredibly diverse. This path is by no means the only solution or the best solution; it’s just a hope that it can assist those who encounter various difficulties later in the game.
