In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, one of the engaging skills Henry can develop is Alchemy, particularly if you enjoy the intricate art of potion-making. Among the many recipes available, Fever Tonics stand out as essential brews, primarily used for their medicinal properties.
While Henry may not frequently require potions for personal use, having a few Fever Tonics on hand can be advantageous in various situations. The process of brewing these potions in KCD2 is nuanced and requires dedication. However, the effort can yield satisfying results if you take the time to create a few.
How to Brew Fever Tonics in KCD2
One of the notable quests that involves crafting a Fever Tonic is the “For Whom The Bell Tolls”mission. This storyline unfolds with Henry tasked to brew a Fever Tonic for Thomas, the guard captain of Trosky. Throughout this quest, you’ll also discover a book detailing the Fever Tonic recipe, which is critical to saving Thomas from peril.
To brew a Fever Tonic effectively, gather the following herbs:
- Feverfew
- Elderberry Leaves
- Ginger
These herbs can be sourced from the wild, but it’s more convenient to purchase them from apothecaries. If you can’t find the necessary ingredients at the Troskowitz apothecary, try visiting Aranka at the Nomad Camp or Herbalist Barnaby, located to the north of Trosky Castle in the forest clearing.
The brewing process for a Fever Tonic is straightforward, but precision is key; follow the recipe closely to avoid producing a low-quality potion. Below are the steps to successfully brew a Fever Tonic:
- Start with Wine as your potion base.
- Add three handfuls of Feverfew into your cauldron.
- Allow the Feverfew to boil for two turns of the sandglass.
- Crush one handful of Elderberry Leaves and add them to the cauldron.
- Incorporate two handfuls of Ginger into the mix.
- Finally, distill the mixture.
It is paramount to distill the potion properly. To do this, obtain a phial and check the distillation flask for the button prompt.
What are Fever Tonics For?
As the name suggests, a Fever Tonic is designed to alleviate high fevers. While Henry may not genuinely need these for himself unless he falls ill, they can be beneficial during quests or can serve as a source of income. Selling high-quality Fever Tonics can be quite lucrative, particularly if you manage to gather the necessary herbs without incurring expenses.
If you’re looking to brew a Fever Tonic, you can utilize the Alchemy Station located in Troskowitz, which is conveniently situated in a shed on the apothecary’s grounds.
