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 slightly north of Semine, off the main thoroughfares. 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 become aggressive if you get too close. Interaction beyond combat (killing or incapacitating him) seems impossible. After defeating him, loot his corpse for a gemstone ring, keys, and a small sum of money (2.7 groschen). The barn itself also contains additional lootable items.
The Mystery of the Keys
The game provides no backstory for the Wandering Drunk. He may be reminiscent of a similar beggar NPC in the first game, a penniless vagrant without associated quests. The keys on his person likely belonged to his former residence, serving primarily as narrative detail. Many NPCs in the game carry keys with unknown purposes, making this a likely scenario for the Wandering Drunk as well.
