Encountering a diverse cast of NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, ranging from friendly to hostile, can be challenging. Determining their intentions isn't always straightforward. This guide clarifies how to handle the Wandering Drunk.

Locating the Wandering Drunk

The Wandering Drunk resides in a derelict barn situated north of Semine, slightly off the main pathways. While traveling north, you'll encounter a herdsman who warns of a hostile vagrant nearby.

Approaching the barn reveals a beggar NPC outside. He'll become aggressive if you get too close. There's no peaceful interaction; combat is unavoidable. Defeating him allows you to loot a gemstone ring, keys, and 2.7 groschen. The barn itself also contains additional lootable items.

The Mystery of the Keys

The game offers no clues about the Wandering Drunk's identity. He might be reminiscent of a similar beggar from the first game, a vagrant with no associated quests. He likely represents someone who lost their home and family; the keys are probably from his former residence, serving merely as narrative detail.

Many NPCs in the game carry keys with unknown purposes upon looting or pickpocketing. The Wandering Drunk's keys likely fall into this category.
