Though maybe not the most mechanically engaging of the many activities on offer in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, alchemy is a crucial skill to brew all manner of potions that can help with everything from seeing at night and healing to even saving your game manually.
You’ll organically come across most of the recipes, either as rewards for completing quests, at apothecary shops, or even on dead bodies. But, you can learn and unlock them by mixing the right herbal and plant ingredients at an alchemy bench. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 alchemy recipes we’ve come across so far, including potions, gunpowder, and poisons.
