In the immersive world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, your actions and appearance have tangible consequences. Henry's hygiene, attire, and overall presentation directly influence how others perceive and interact with him. Maintaining cleanliness isn't just a matter of role-playing; it offers significant gameplay benefits. While you can perform some basic washing yourself, true rejuvenation and the best buffs come from visiting a bathhouse. This guide details where to find these essential establishments and what services they offer.
