In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter a diverse array of NPCs, ranging from the friendly to the outright hostile. Among them is the Wandering Drunk, whose intentions might leave you puzzled. Here's a detailed guide on what to do when you come across him.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Wandering Drunk Location

You'll find the Wandering Drunk in an abandoned barn just north of Semine, slightly off the beaten path. As you travel north, a herdsman will caution you about a vagabond in the area known to attack anyone who approaches. Upon reaching the barn, you'll spot a Beggar NPC lingering outside. Be warned, he turns hostile if you venture too close. There doesn't seem to be a way to engage with him peacefully; your only options are to fight him, either knocking him out or killing him.

After dealing with the Beggar, you can loot his body to find a gemstone ring, some keys, and 2.7 groschen. Further exploration of the barn will yield additional items you can either sell or keep for later use.

What to Do With the Door and Chest Keys?

The game provides no explicit backstory for the Wandering Drunk. However, he might be a nod to a similar character from the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*, a Beggar who had lost everything and turned into a vagabond with no attached questlines. It's plausible that the Wandering Drunk in *Deliverance 2* is a man who has lost his home and family, with the door and chest keys symbolizing his past life—items now carried simply for narrative depth.

Many NPCs in the game carry keys that you can loot or pickpocket, with no clear purpose for them. It's likely the same with the Wandering Drunk's keys; they're there to add realism and depth to the game world, without a specific function for the player.
