In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Speech helps Henry talk his way out of trouble, get better deals, and convince people to do what he wants. If you don’t want to fight every battle and prefer winning arguments instead of sword fights, this is the stat to level up in KCD2.
What Speech Does
Raising Speech helps with:
Persuasion – Makes it easier to convince people in dialogue.
Haggling – Lowers prices when buying and raises them when selling.
Avoiding Fights – Lets you talk your way out of dangerous situations.
How to Level Up Speech Fast
1. Talk to Everyone
Every conversation gives Speech XP, but ones with persuasion options give more.
Always choose Speech-based dialogue when available.
Argue with nobles, bandits, and merchants whenever possible.
2. Pass Speech Checks
The best way to gain Speech XP is by successfully persuading people in conversations.
Higher Speech makes checks easier, but wearing noble clothes or having high charisma helps too.
Save before a big conversation so you can retry if needed.
3. Haggle Every Time You Trade
Always bargain when buying or selling items.
Even if you only adjust the price slightly, you still get Speech XP.
The more you trade, the faster your Speech levels up.
4. Read Books
Certain books give Speech XP just by reading them.
Visit a scribe or bookshop and grab books related to conversation skills.
5. Do Side Quests
Many side quests involve negotiating, persuading, or talking your way out of situations.
The more you solve problems with words instead of weapons, the more XP you earn.
Best Speech Perks
Once you level up Speech, unlock perks that make Henry even more persuasive:
Silver Tongue – Increases chances of passing persuasion checks.
Highborn/Lowborn – Gives better Speech options when talking to nobles or commoners.
Trustworthy Face – Makes it easier to get people to believe you.
Quick Tips
Always talk instead of fight – If there’s a persuasion option, take it.
Haggle every time you shop – Even a small discount gives XP.
Dress well – Nobles respect fancy clothes, commoners don’t.
Save before big conversations – If you fail a Speech check, try again.
If you follow these steps, Henry will charm his way through any situation in no time. Soon, you’ll be talking circles around merchants, guards, and even nobles.
