How to get Saviour Schnapps in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
There are two ways to get Saviour Schnapps: either you buy (or loot) it from others, or you brew it yourself at an Alchemy Bench. Saviour Schnapps can be looted from various chests, camps, and bandit corpses throughout Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. But a more reliable way to get more Saviour Schnapps is to buy them off particular NPC vendors.
The easiest way to get Saviour Schnapps is to buy them off Apothecary Emmerich, who has a shop in Troskowitz, the starting town of KCD2. Emmerich often has a healthy supply of Saviour Schnapps (as opposed to the Weak Saviour Schnapps offered by many other traders), and you can also go to him in a pinch to get the herbs you need for making the potion yourself - more on this in the next section.
Besides Apothecary Emmerich, any of the innkeepers at the three main inns in Trosky will almost always have some Weak Saviour Schnapps to sell you. And there are a couple of other, more general traders who will have Saviour Schnapps to sell. These are the people you can speak to for more Saviour Schnapps:
- Merchant Jurg Thömel in Troskowitz.
- Innkeeper Betty in Troskowitz Inn.
- Alehouse Maid in Troskowitz Inn.
- Innkeeper Prochek in Tachov Inn.
- Innkeeper Voyka in Tachov Inn.
- Manka in Tachov Inn.
- Innkeeper Lawrence in Zhelejov Wagoner's Inn.
- Innkeeper Marie in Zhelejov Wagoner's Inn.
Bear in mind though that Innkeepers at the same Inn share the same shop inventory of items to sell. So if (for example) you buy all of Innkeeper Lawrence's Saviour Schnapps, that means Innkeeper Marie's shop inventory will also be cleared of Saviour Schnapps.
If you've not yet found some good ways to make money and are trying not to spend much, bear in mind that you'll get the best prices from settlements where you have a high reputation. Check out your reputation scores in the "Reputation" tab of the Player screen (P by default).
How to make Saviour Schnapps yourself
If you want to make your own Saviour Schnapps, then you can brew it at an Alchemy Bench. When you're given your very first Saviour Schnapps by Pavlena at the end of the main quest "Fortuna", she'll also give you the recipe for making Saviour Schnapps yourself.
All you need to make Saviour Schnapps is 1x Nettle, and 2x Belladonna. Nettle can be found all over the place, particularly by rivers and ponds, and on the edges of forests. Belladonna, meanwhile, is much rarer and hard to find in nature, although you can look at the maps below to find a couple of good spots. After that, I'd recommend you make do with purchasing Belladonna, either fresh or in its dried form, from Emmerich the Apothecary or any other herb trader.
To make Saviour Schnapps, interact with an Alchemy Bench and follow these steps:
- Prepare 1x Nettle and 2x Belladonna.
- Pour Wine into the cauldron.
- Add the Nettle to the cauldron and boil for 2 turns.
- Grind the Belladonna.
- Add the Belladonna to the cauldron and boil for 1 turn.
- Finally, pour.
