The process of brewing potions in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is very intricate, with there being many tools to properly handle the multiple ingredients for any potion. To make a potion at all, you'll need to follow every step closely, otherwise, you'll waste your time and ingredients and have nothing to show for it. The potion's strength will be determined by how perfectly you follow each step without making any mistakes.
One crucial step that is used when finalizing many potions is Distilling, which is done with the Still right in front of Henry on the table. That being said, the process itself isn't done as easily as the other steps; here's how to distill your potions.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - How to Perform a Feint
Feinting allows Henry to fake out his opponents by attacking from an unexpected direction. Here is how to feint in KCD 2.
How To Distill Potions In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Realistically, you can distill any potion in the game, though it's a specific process that should only be done on potions that call to be distilled as the final step. Distilling will end with your potion being bottled, so make sure you've done everything else you need to do and you're satisfied with how well you followed the directions from your recipe book. The one catch to distilling is that you'll first need something to pour the distilled potion into.
- When ready to distill, first grab a phial from the shelf behind the Still.
- With a Phial in hand, interact with the Still to play out the sequence of Henry pouring the potion through the Still, then into the phial.
Distilling the potion into the phial is the same as the other final step of simply pouring the potion into the Phial. Doing so will complete your potion, and is the easiest step that won't affect the quality of your potion.
Pouring vs Distilling Brewed Potions
You should only ever distill a potion when it specifically asks to do so. The final step of every potion will either have:
- Finally, pour
- Finally, distill
Doing the right one won't affect the quality of your potion since that is mostly determined by the ingredients you used along with how well you timed the boiling of various ingredients in the recipe. That being said, picking the wrong option when finalizing your potion can ruin the potion right at the end after you've done so much work. Taking time to refer back to the recipe book between each step won't hurt the potion as long as it's not boiling when you do, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.
