Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Potions Alchemy Recipes Guide

Potions are a big part of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 gameplay structure. You can brew a ton of them with different effects.

You first learn the recipe and then brew the potion but if you already know the recipe you don’t need to spend time learning it. That’s where my guide potion recipes guide for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 comes in.

You can get the ingredients from apothecaries or in the wilderness. You get recipes in-game from apothecaries as well.

How to Brew Potions

To brew potions in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 you need to find Alchemy Benches. They are found in most larger towns such as Troskowitz or Kuttenberg. When you get close to them, they automatically get marked on the map.

The potion quality (Weak, Regular, Strong) will depend on how strictly you follow the formula.

I recommend you buy Alchemy skills from the Player Menu for the best brewing results.
