Look, eating isn’t exactly rocket science, but in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it might feel like you’re trying to crack a medieval culinary puzzle. If you’ve been clicking around in frustration while your nourishment meter hovers at dangerously low levels, fear not—this guide will teach you how to chow down and eat without summoning a pop-up about your missing pouch.
Step 1: Open Your Inventory
Press the inventory button and feast your eyes (pun intended) on all the delicious goodies you’ve been hoarding. If your inventory looks like the back of a peasant’s cupboard, don’t worry—it’s the thought that counts.
Step 2: Find the Food Section
On consoles, use the right bumper to navigate to the food section. On PC, just click over to it like a civilized gamer. There you’ll find all your food items, from apples to bread rolls that probably should’ve been eaten days ago.
Step 3: Select the Food
Pick the item you want to eat, but don’t get too excited just yet. This is where many would-be diners go wrong.
Step 4: Hold the Button to Eat
Here’s the secret: you don’t just click to eat. Clicking will just bring up some unhelpful text about wearing a pouch (no idea why that’s even relevant). Instead, you need to hold the eat button.
PC: Look for the prompt at the bottom corner of the screen and hold the correct key.
PlayStation 5: Hold Triangle.
Xbox Series X|S: Hold Y.
Once you hold the button, Henry will eat the item like a proper Bohemian noble (or a starving villager).
Step 5: Check Your Nourishment
Want to see how much fuller you are? Take a quick glance at the Nourishment stat. It’s conveniently displayed in your inventory. For example, if your nourishment was at 75 and you eat an apple, it might jump up to 77. The math is as straightforward as it gets.
Final Blurb
Don’t spam the button. You need to hold it.
If your character is complaining about hunger, but nothing seems to happen, double-check that you’re holding the button long enough.
And there you have it. You’re officially ready to eat your way through Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Just don’t get too carried away, or you might find Henry rolling around Bohemia with a bellyache.
