To sustain their character Henry on relentless adventures filled with daring escapades in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players will find the Cockerel Potion indispensable. This unique concoction rejuvenates one-fifth of Henry’s energy and, when crafted to a higher quality, can significantly slow the depletion of energy over time.
If players are eager to engage in non-stop battles rather than seek rest, the Cockerel Potion is a vital recipe to master. Below, we detail how crafting this potion works, including the ingredients required and the steps to produce the highest quality variant.
Crafting Cockerel Potions in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2


To create the Cockerel Potion, players will need to gather the following ingredients:
- 2x Mint
- 2x Valerian
- Alternatively, if fresh herbs aren’t available, players can use 2x Dried Mint and Dried Valerian.
Mint can typically be harvested from specific herb gardens within towns or found at the borders of dense forests. A notable farming location is north of Zhelejov, near the shepherd grasslands, where a large patch of Mint is available. On the other hand, Valerian is identifiable by its distinctive white flowers and can often be spotted alongside roads.



Players should exercise caution to differentiate Valerian from Chamomile, which also grows in the same area.
Steps to Brew the Cockerel Potion
Now that the ingredients are ready, players can proceed to brew the Cockerel Potion by following these steps:
- Add Spirits to the cauldron.
- Grind the Mint and incorporate it into the cauldron.
- Boil for one turn.
- Add the Valerian and boil for two additional turns.
- Finally, distill the mixture.
When executed properly, players will successfully create the Cockerel Potion. Depending on the Alchemy Perks they have unlocked, they may end up with a Strong Cockerel or Henry’s Cockerel, both offering enhanced benefits. Activating the Secret of Secrets Alchemy Perk is essential for achieving these advanced potion variants.
To craft the most effective versions of the potion, players must meticulously adhere to the precise process without burning the ingredients or deviating from the required order or temperature of the cauldron. The effectiveness of each Cockerel Potion variant is as follows:
- Cockerel: Restores +20 Energy.
- Strong Cockerel: Restores +20 Energy and reduces energy consumption by 20% for half a day.
- Henry’s Cockerel: Restores +30 Energy and reduces energy consumption by 50% for half a day.
Clearly, the highest-quality potion offers unparalleled advantages, with its 50% slowdown in energy depletion being one of the most potent effects available in the game. This effect proves especially beneficial during extended quest lines, such as “The Fifth Commandment.”
