How to Hunt in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
1. Equip Yourself
Before heading out, make sure you have the necessary equipment:
-
Bow and Arrows: A sturdy bow and a good supply of arrows are essential. You can buy these from merchants or craft them yourself.
-
Hunting Gear: Wearing light armour or clothing will allow you to move more quietly, increasing your chances of getting close to your prey.
-
Hunting Perks: Invest in hunting perks to improve your skills. These can be found in the character development menu.
2. Choose the Right Location
Different animals can be found in various regions. Here are some places to start:
-
Deer: Commonly found in the forests around Rattay and Sasau.
-
Hares and Boars: Often found in the meadows and woods near Talmberg and Neuhof.
-
Roe Deer: More elusive, usually found in the dense forests.
3. Stalking Your Prey
Approach your prey with caution:
-
Crouch and Move Slowly: Press the crouch button to move quietly. Avoid running or making sudden movements that could alert the animals.
-
Use Cover: Trees, bushes, and tall grass can provide cover as you get closer to your target.
-
Wind Direction: Pay attention to the wind direction, as animals can detect your scent.
4. Taking the Shot
Once you're within range:
-
Aim Carefully: Draw your bow and take careful aim. Aim for the head or the heart for a clean kill.
-
Control Your Breath: Holding your breath can steady your aim, but don't hold it for too long, or your shot will waver.
-
Release: Gently release the arrow to send it flying toward your target.
5. Tracking and Butchering
After making your shot:
-
Track the Blood Trail: If you didn't make a clean kill, follow the blood trail to find your wounded prey.
-
Butcher the Animal: Once you've located your kill, use your hunting knife to butcher the animal. This will yield meat, hides, and other valuable materials.
6. Selling and Using the Spoils
You can use the items you've gathered for various purposes:
-
Food: Cook the meat at a campfire or sell it to merchants.
-
Crafting: Use hides and other materials to craft gear and items.
-
Selling: Sell the spoils to earn Groschen.
