Beware: Intoxicated NPC Stalks Medieval Bohemian Hamlet

Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, ranging from friendly to hostile, can be challenging. Determining their motives isn't always straightforward. This guide clarifies how to handle the Wandering Drunk.

Locating the Wandering Drunk

The Wandering Drunk resides in a derelict barn situated slightly north of Semine, off the main thoroughfares. While traveling north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns of a potentially aggressive vagrant nearby.

Upon reaching the barn, you'll find a beggar NPC outside. He'll turn hostile if approached too closely. Currently, there's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeating him yields a gemstone ring, several keys, and 2.7 groschen. The barn itself also contains additional lootable items.

The Mystery of the Keys

The game provides no background on the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be a nod to a similar beggar from the first game, a character who suffered significant loss and became a vagrant without further storyline involvement. It's plausible the keys belonged to his former residence, serving purely as a narrative detail.

Many NPCs in the game carry keys upon looting or pickpocketing, with their purpose remaining unknown. The Wandering Drunk's keys likely fall into this category.
