Kingdom Come: Deliverance Save Game System Explained

Kingdom Come: Deliverance save game system explained - how to save in Kingdom Come

There are a handful of ways you can save the game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance - albeit none of them as simple as just saving on the spot like you would in a lot of other RPGs - so here's a quick list of all the ways to save the game and how they work.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - how to save:

• Complete a main story mission - Completing main quests usually results in your game auto saving, which is convenient as being a natural break in the action that's often a nice time to call it a day. If you know you're close to the end of one it's often worth seeing it through.
• Sleeping in a bed - If you sleep somewhere, like an Inn, or a bed of your own, then that'll save the game. You'll unlock beds of your own as you progress through the game, with a couple available from pretty early on.
• Using a bath house - Yes, that's right, using a bath house (that's a brothel, to us modern folk) is another way to save your game. You don't have to use those facilities though, thankfully. For us, it saved when we: healed our wounds; or when we had a bath, laundered our clothes and healed our wounds, and when we did all of those as well as used the "other services". It didn't save, though, when we just laundered our clothes.
• Drinking Saviour Schnapps - A kind of potion, Saviour Schnapps are a consumable you store in your inventory and can drink whenever you like. It's the only "on demand" save in the game, but there's a limited supply, with only some vendors selling them and some fairly rare ingredients required to craft them. You also get them before or after the odd main mission, too. Best to save these for situations where it's been a while since your last save but you know there's something risky coming up. Heads up though: the Schnapps will make you drunk after you down a bottle, so you might want to wait for those effects to wear off first.
