Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, ranging from friendly to hostile, can be challenging. Determining their intentions isn't always straightforward. This guide focuses on 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 hostile vagrant nearby.
Upon reaching the barn, you'll find a beggar NPC outside. Approaching too closely will trigger hostility. Currently, there's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeating him yields a gemstone ring, keys, and a small sum of groschen. The barn itself contains additional lootable items.
The Mystery of the Keys
The game offers no clues regarding the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be a nod to a similar beggar from the first game, a character with no associated quests. It's plausible he's simply a homeless individual who lost his family and possessions. The keys likely belonged to his former residence, serving primarily as narrative detail.
Many NPCs in the game carry keys with unknown purposes; the Wandering Drunk's keys likely fall into this category.
