Locating Belladonna in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Select Language:

Alchemy plays a crucial role in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, especially as it enables you to create Saviour Schnapps, allowing you to save your game without needing to sleep or log out. Along with Saviour Schnapps, there are numerous potions that you can brew using various recipes, each offering different advantages. However, you must collect the specific ingredients for each recipe before you can craft them. Among all the herbs in the game, Belladonna is one of the more challenging ones to find.

As Henry travels across the map, he can gather most herbs along the way. If you have enough inventory space, you’ll want to collect them, especially if you plan to use or dry them before they go bad. If you can’t find the herbs you need, merchants usually have them for sale, but it’ll cost you some Groschen, which you may need for other important purchases, including items that you can’t gather or create on your own. Therefore, whenever possible, it’s wiser to pick your own herbs for alchemy, even the harder-to-find ones like Belladonna.

Locating Belladonna

Searching the Woodlands

The optimal locations to search for Belladonna are in clearings within forested areas. While the map in KCD2 is larger than that of the first installment, certain markers make it easier to identify promising spots to look for Belladonna. The plant itself is dark, which can make it hard to spot in the shadows of trees. If you’re walking, keep your camera tilted down to look for any plants identified as Belladonna, and pick them up when you see them. To find them again when they respawn, consider marking the spot on your map.

You can also purchase Belladonna from various merchants. Grocers, apothecaries, and general tradesmen often have Belladonna available. The downside is that these herbs can be quite pricey compared to finding them for free in the wild. Since you’ll need your Groschen for items that are unavailable for gathering or crafting, it’s typically more cost-effective to harvest what you can yourself.
