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 dilapidated barn situated just north of Semine, slightly off the main pathways. While traveling north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns of a hostile vagrant nearby. Approaching the barn reveals a beggar NPC outside; he'll become aggressive if you get too close. Currently, there's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeating him yields a gemstone ring, several keys, and a small amount 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. He likely represents someone who has lost their home and family; the keys on his person are purely for narrative effect. Many NPCs in the game carry keys with unknown purposes, suggesting this is also the case for the Wandering Drunk.
