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

Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, some friendly, others hostile, can leave you questioning their motives. This guide clarifies how to handle the Wandering Drunk.

Locating the Wandering Drunk

The Wandering Drunk resides in a derelict barn slightly north of Semine, off the main pathways. A herdsman nearby will warn you of a hostile vagrant in the area. Approaching the barn reveals a beggar NPC outside; he'll become aggressive if you get too close. Currently, meaningful interaction beyond combat (killing or incapacitating him) seems impossible. Looting his body yields 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 about the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be a nod to a similar, destitute beggar from the first game, a character with no associated quests. The keys likely belonged to his former residence, serving primarily as a narrative detail. Many NPCs in the game carry keys with unknown purposes upon being looted or pickpocketed; the Wandering Drunk's keys likely fall into this category.
