- Go to the tavern and start playing for money. Make the maximum bet.
- In case of a serious loss, you can load the last save and try again.

Report a thief
An easy way to quickly get ~800 groschen at the beginning of the game is to hand over thieves and other crooks to Bailiff Drozd of Troskovitz.
South of Semin Castle, there is a small road across the river that disappears into the forest. Nearby, Henry will find a man hiding in a cave. His name is Pepa, and he steals cabbage to turn it into a special healing sauerkraut. If you leave him alone, you can return to him and exchange fresh cabbage for sauerkraut, which has special healing properties.
An alternative is to meet Pepa, then report the theft of the cabbage to Bailiff Drozd in Troskovitz. Pepa and his endless supply of sauerkraut will disappear from the map, but Henry will receive about 800 groschen as a reward from the bailiff. This amount will make the first few days of exploring the open world in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 much easier. Pepa is not the only thief who can be turned in to the authorities.

Next, we will look at methods that work both at the beginning of Henry's journey and at later stages of the game.
Sell craft items
It doesn't matter what Henry does, whether he makes potions, forges armor or hunts: there will be a buyer for every thing he hunts or creates legally in Bohemia. For example, if you chose to get to the wedding through the blacksmith Radovan at the beginning of the game, then you can sell horseshoes, axes and swords created at the forge to him for hard cash.
Alchemical potions are also in use, at first they can be crafted and sold in Troskovitz to Apothecary Emmrich, and then to merchants or other apothecaries.
Hunting is not entirely legal in the game world: the skins and meat of a deer or a boar, for example, will be considered stolen, for which you can go to prison under the article on theft of wild animals. All animals belong to the king, so by law they cannot be hunted. The only exceptions are hares and wolves.
But cooked meat loses its status as stolen and is even more valued by buyers. Meat can be cooked on stoves in taverns or smoked in smokehouses.
Participate in competitions
Indro can take part in the following types of competitions:
- Fist fights. There is a fighting ground at the mill in South Semin, but they don't play for big stakes there. If you prove yourself there, you can get into tournaments with real prizes.
- Archery or crossbow shooting. For example, north of Trosky Castle, miners have set up a shooting range. Arrows and bolts are given out for free, but they don't play for big stakes.
- Bones. Almost every tavern has a table for the game. The stakes are substantial.
Choose the area you are best at and make money from it.
Search for treasure
There are many hidden treasure caches all over Bohemia. Inside you will find not only pennies, but also weapons, expensive dishes that can be sold, and even literature with valuable knowledge. For example, the hidden treasures in the cave of Apolena and in the thickets near the camp of the Vidlak bandits give a total of 500 groschen net, as well as valuable dishes and ingots for sale.
Speed up the process of accumulating money by using the guide to all treasure maps.
Complete side quests
From the very beginning of the journey, it is better to explore and pick up all the side quests that you can find: for each you will be paid in coins, items and reputation. At first, Henry will be paid 20-50 groschen for completed quests, but later he will be able to earn decent amounts of 200 groschen and more, especially if he tries to serve the local lords and other wealthy people.
Stealing horses
Horses in medieval Bohemia are not just a means of transportation, but also a valuable asset that will be paid for. Unfortunately, almost all Bohemians are law-abiding and will report Indro if they see him on a stolen horse, but the gypsies are willing to buy stolen goods.
Search horseman Nicholas в Gypsy camp: he will buy a stolen horse for 25% of its value. Henry can find out the latter by going to the animal and pressing X. Getting horses is also quite easy and does not always require breaking the law: you can find a steed whose owner was killed, as well as horses that have already been stolen by bandits.
Break open chests and steal
Hacking and theft will not result in sanctions, if Indro is not caught. All over Bohemia there are many different locked chests, and every NPC has an inviting purse of pennies hanging from his belt, or in special cases, a valuable miniature curiosity like a ring. The qualities and things required of an experienced thief are the skills of pickpocketing and lockpicking, light and silent clothing, and a bunch of master keys. The intricacies of thievery are taught by Mills in Nizhniy Semin.
The only catch with stealing as a way to earn money is that stolen items will be recognized if Henry is near the place where they were stolen: they are marked in the inventory. red palm icon. It is wise to choose one place with a lot of traders as a market and not steal there, and then go rob all the nearby villages and towns. An alternative option for laundering stolen items is to put them in Henry's chest and wait until the stolen item status disappears.
Digging up graves
The game world contains both cemeteries and lonely graves that can be dug up and valuables taken. Such activities in the game must be done with shovelOf course, no one will thank Indzhrich for robbing graves if they notice.
Hunting for bandits
In Bohemia, you can't kill or rob honest people, or enter their territory. It's good that bandits are dishonest people, which means the laws don't apply to them: rob camps, steal bandit horses, raid camps and take everything that isn't nailed to the floor. There won't be any stolen goods icons on bandits' things, so their equipment and belongings can be sold in the nearest village. No one will judge Henry for killing bandits or try to put him in prison. You can combine bandit hunting with crafting: for example, collect the bandits' clothes and armor, then repair them and sell them for a higher price.
At the beginning of the game, the bandits will dominate the fight, but sometimes you can pit the gang against, for example, a passing caravan: if the caravan guards see Henry running away from a group of bandits, they will not stand aside and will definitely join the fight. This happens quite often on the main routes between cities.
