Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts NPC interactions and quest outcomes. A dirty or bloodied appearance hinders persuasion, even with high Speech skills. Here's how to keep Henry squeaky clean:
Why Cleanliness Matters
Dirt and blood negatively affect how others perceive you, limiting dialogue options and hindering success in persuasion checks. A clean appearance improves your interactions and chances of success.
Cleaning Methods
Three primary methods exist for cleansing yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.
Troughs

Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs offer a basic clean. Interact with a trough to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothing.
Bathing Spots

Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots provide a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both your body and clothing, though not completely.
Bathhouses
For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse (usually found in larger towns). A small fee is required, but this method offers the most comprehensive clean, removing all dirt and blood and thoroughly cleaning your clothes. Regular bathhouse visits are recommended.
