Life in medieval Bohemia is very dirty, and Henry’s clothes will eventually look like they’ve been through a particularly rough joust. If you don’t want people treating you like a smelly beggar, you’ll need to clean up. That’s where soap comes in.

Here’s a simple guide to using soap in KCD2 to keep your clothes looking (and smelling) respectable.

Option 1: The Easy Way—Bathhouses

If you’re not one for manual labor, bathhouses are your best friend.

  1. Find a Bathhouse:

    • Trosky Bathhouse: Located near the Zhelejov Wagoner’s Inn, northwest of Zhelejov.

    • Kuttenberg Bathhouse: Found by the Devil’s Den on the river north of Horschan.

  2. Talk to the Bathhouse Owner:

    • Speak to Dorothy or another proprietor and pay for a full-service wash.

    • This cleans your clothes, body, and even cures minor ailments. (Bonus: there’s also an off-screen "romantic" option if you’re feeling extra grimy.)

While effective, this option costs Groschen—so if you’re broke or just cheap, read on.

Option 2: DIY Cleaning—Using Soap

For the self-sufficient (or frugal) player, cleaning your own clothes with soap is the way to go.

Step 1: Find a Laundry Spot

Laundry spots are usually found near running water. Once discovered, they’ll be marked on your map with a trough icon.

Here are a couple of handy spots:

  • Near the Trosky Bathhouse: Just north by the river.

  • East of Lower Semine Mill: Look for a forest path near the main road.

Step 2: Get Soap

Why Should You Use Soap?

Clean clothes aren’t just for show… Charisma is a big deal in KCD2. Bloodied or dirty attire tanks your stats, making it harder to charm NPCs or succeed in speech checks. Washing up regularly is an easy way to stay sharp, both figuratively and literally (because armor looks great when clean).

Final Thoughts

Soap might seem like a minor detail, but in KCD2, it’s your ticket to not looking like you crawled out of a ditch (even if you did). So, whether you’re paying for a bath or DIY-ing your laundry at the river, don’t skimp on hygiene. A clean Henry is a convincing Henry—and nobody’s impressed by a knight with mud on his doublet.
