Savior Schnapps

The game auto-saves during crucial story moments, when you sleep, or when you quit. For manual saves, you'll need Savior Schnapps, an alcoholic beverage that can be hard to find. You can purchase it from merchants when available or brew it yourself through alchemy. Be cautious, as consuming Schnapps when Henry is already intoxicated can push him to critical levels of drunkenness.

Find Mutt

Mutt, the loyal dog, is a valuable ally in combat and investigations, and can boost your stats with certain upgrades. Make it a priority to find him as soon as the quest becomes available to benefit from his companionship.

Drying and Smoking

To extend the life of your food, smoke meat in smokehouses and dry other foods in cabinets. Herbs and mushrooms used in potions also spoil, but their shelf life increases when dried.

Personal Chest

In rented tavern rooms or other sleeping spots, you'll find a personal chest. Items stored in one can be accessed from any other personal chest, making it ideal for storing excess or heavy items. Stolen goods placed in these chests lose their stolen status after 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters

Your appearance significantly impacts how NPCs interact with you. Keep Henry clean by washing at basins or bathhouses and repair or upgrade his attire. Different outfits can affect persuasion, intimidation, and stealth, so use the preset option in the inventory to switch outfits based on the situation.

Monitor Your Stamina

Combat drains stamina quickly, so retreat when your vision grays out to avoid exhaustion. Overeating reduces your max stamina, so keep it in check. A well-managed stamina level can give you an edge in battle.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing

Mastering alchemy lets you craft essential potions like Savior Schnapps and boosts Henry's Strength through herb gathering. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and remember to maintain your gear. Crafting not only equips you with top-tier items but also provides a source of income.

Side Quests

Don't miss out on the rich side quests scattered throughout the game world. Completing only the main storyline can lock you out of some side quests and their rewards. Engage with the world to fully experience all it has to offer.
