Kingdom Come: Deliverance II: Henry-Tier IV Blacksmithing, Saviour Schnapps Alchemy & Stealth Economy

Master medieval Bohemian craftsmanship: forging Tier IV Masterwork weapons at the anvil, brewing Henry-grade Saviour Schnapps, and noise/visibility stealth.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II: Henry-Tier IV Blacksmithing, Saviour Schnapps Alchemy & Stealth Economy
Step 1 of 3

1. Forging Tier IV ("Henry-Quality") Weapons at the Blacksmith Anvil

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Henry can forge longswords, hunting swords, axes, and horseshoes from raw steel billets. To achieve the exclusive Tier IV Masterwork ("Henry’s Quality") stamp—which grants +15% higher slashing/stabbing damage than store-bought Tier III gear—unlock the "Martin’s Secret" craftsmanship perk. Heat the workpiece in the coal forge using the bellows until the metal glows a uniform straw-yellow (never white-hot with sparks, which burns the carbon!). Move to the anvil and strike evenly along the blade length, flipping the sword every 4 to 5 hammer blows so Henry whistles in rhythm.

Pro Tip: Never strike the exact same spot twice in a row on the anvil; move your hammer slightly up and down the blade with each blow to shower bright golden sparks.
Step 2 of 3

2. Brewing 6x Saviour Schnapps & Marigold Decoctions in One Boil

Saving your game manually requires Saviour Schnapps (Wine base + 1 Nettle + 2 Belladonna). You can gather unlimited Nettle along town fences and Belladonna in forest clearings near Troskowitz. At the Alchemy Bench: pour Wine into the cauldron, add 1 handful of Nettle, lower the cauldron over the fire for 2 turns of the sandglass, grind 2 handfuls of fresh Belladonna in the mortar, drop them into the cauldron for 1 turn, and immediately pour into a phial. With the "Secret of Matter" perks, a single flawless brew yields up to 6 Henry-grade potions!

Pro Tip: Always use at least one Fresh herb rather than two Dried herbs if you want to achieve the highest "Henry’s Saviour Schnapps" tier (which also buffs Strength, Vitality, and Agility when consumed!).
Step 3 of 3

3. The Three-Outfit Loadout System: Plate vs. Stealth vs. Charisma

Kingdom Come II features three instant-swap outfit presets in your inventory. Configure Slot 1 for Full Plate Combat (Brigandine, Bascinet helmet, mail chausses), Slot 2 for Zero-Noise Stealth (black padded coif, dark leather gloves, soft quiet shoes with <15 Noise and <20 Conspicuousness), and Slot 3 for Noble Charisma (clean embroidered pourpoint, silver rings, and spectacles yielding 25+ Charisma for passing speech checks with bailiffs and nobles).

Pro Tip: Wash yourself at wooden water troughs or bathhouses before speaking to quest givers—bloodstained or muddy armor inflicts a severe Charisma penalty and makes guards frisk you more often.
