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 situated north of Semine, slightly off the main pathways. A herdsman nearby will warn you of a hostile vagrant in the area. Approaching the barn, you'll find a beggar NPC outside; he'll attack if you get too close. 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 also contains lootable items.
The Mystery of the Keys
The game offers no explanation of 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 has lost his home and family, and the keys are merely narrative details. Many NPCs in the game carry keys with no discernible purpose, suggesting this is the case here as well.
