Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a true RPG that fans have been yearning for over the years, featuring a thriving world that reacts to every decision and moment of gameplay. One thing that some players have struggled with, however, especially those who didn’t experience the first game, is the saving system.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – How To Get Saviour Schnapps
Saviour Schanpps are necessary to save wherever you want in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2; here’s how to get and brew it.
For the most part, players are taught to save the game by using 
Saviour Schnapps
, a drink that can be brewed, purchased, or found. Nevertheless, players will occasionally find themselves wondering how to save in KCD2 without Saviour Schnapps, if for whatever reason they don’t have any. Thankfully, there are many alternative ways to save.
How To Save Without Saviour Schnapps In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Save & Sleep In Beds
Henry needs his sleep to restore his energy, and unless players are on a stealth mission or earning some Groschen as a thief, then there’s not much point being awake during the night.
Thus, players should try to get in the habit of sleeping at night, and if it is their own bed, the game will also save. Henry can purchase beds at taverns, and sometimes characters such as the Tachov blacksmith will give Henry a free bed.
Players only have to sleep for 1 hour if they want to quickly save the game before heading off somewhere.
During time-based main missions, Henry unfortunately cannot sleep or advance time.
Auto Saves In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Thankfully, KCD2 has more frequent auto-saves than the first game. These aren’t on a time-based system, instead, the game saves upon starting new quests, finishing quests, and upon completing some major objectives during quests. This is more true for main missions rather than side quests.
During main quests where players are restricted to certain locations, such as sneaking around a castle, they will encounter more frequent auto-saves.
Save At The Bathhouse
Another option to save the game is to visit a bathhouse. Usually, Henry comes here to clean, have his clothes washed, heal, and potentially spend some time in pleasant company.
The more options Henry chooses, the more hours will pass by. So if you’re mainly interested in saving, ask for a simple bath with no extras.
Save When Switching Regions In KCD2
After reaching the Kuttenberg map partway through the story, players can travel between the two maps in KCD2. To do so they will need to find a coachman near the edge of each map.
Thankfully, when they travel to the other map, the game will save.

Save & Quit The Game When Desperate
If players ever find themselves in a pickle, without any Saviour Schnapps, no bed to save in, or anything else, there is one legit option left.
Simply go to the main menu and select Save & Quit. When they reload, the game will pick up exactly where they left off.
Be careful though, as this will delete any previous Save & Quit files.
