Practicing the art of alchemy can be challenging when you begin your adventures in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Even the very first potion you brew will be difficult to produce, requiring specific actions. So, if you need help in the Fortuna quest, here’s how to make the healing potion.
KCD2 Fortuna ‘Brew the healing potion’ quest walkthrough
After you’vedisposed of the bodyand collected the resources for the potion recipe, you’ll speak to Bozhena to begin your first lesson in alchemy. Follow her to discover the alchemy bench, where you’ll place down the recipe book. You must make the Chamomile Decoction, as shown inside the book.
Here are the ingredients you need to make this healing potion:
You’ll likely have the chamomile and sage with you (from the grassy area above the house). The wine will also be near you, so you don’t have to search for this one. For a quick overview, complete these steps in order to make the Chamomile Decoction inKCD2:
Following along with the recipe book is easier said than done. Therefore, I’ll break down each step to give you a clearer picture.
Step 1: Pour the correct base into the cauldron
If you take a look at the recipe book, you’ll see a symbol of a triangle facing down with a line at the top. This indicates thatwine is the correct base, which will be between the water and oil vases.
Step 2: Add the chamomile and boil for one turn
Before you add the chamomile, Bozhena will ask you to boil the cauldron first to see what it looks like. Move the cauldron down to make it boil, and use the Bellows to make it cook faster. Once you’ve taken care of that,open your inventory to grab the chamomile and sage.
Look to the right andgrab two handfuls of the chamomile(it’ll be marked with this name).Throw it into the pot. You’ll need to do this step individually, placing a handful each time. Next,move the cauldron downto bring it to a boil andturn the sandglass.
Wait until all the sand in the glass is at the bottom (just one turn), andmove the cauldron up again. Now that the chamomile has been boiled, it’s time to put in the sage.
Step 3: Grind the sage and add it to the cauldron
Grab a handful of sage from the other bag and grind it down. Look all the way down and place it inside the bowl labeled ‘Mortar.’
Drop the sage inside the cauldron. The sage doesn’t require any boiling, so the potion should be ready at this point.
Step 4: Pour the healing potion into the phial
You’llsee a batch of phials on the left sideof the alchemy table. Interact with it topour the healing potion(from the cauldron) into the phial.
The Chamomile brew will now be yours for the taking, allowing you to help with Hans’ injury. If you want to make additional batches of this potion, complete the steps above again in the nearest alchemy table.
As you progress through theKingdom Come: Deliverance 2story, you’ll dabble much more with alchemy. Ingredients for these concoctions can be found in the wilds or from shop owners like Herbalists and Apothecaries.The playstyleyou’ve chosen at the beginning can also help you master Alchemy, making it easier to make potions. Of course, you won’t be an alchemist expert right off the bat, but you can work your way to that point by experimenting at the alchemy tables.
