Very close to Zhelejov is an interesting site named ‘Nameless Spring’ - no enemies around.
There’s a basket with Belladonna and Herb Paris, but all around the big rock is a bunch of Belladonna (and right next to the basket a ton of Herb Paris if you need some more ;)) to harvest as well. I walked away with 65 Belladonna in total, and I’m sure I missed some.
Go on, chug those potions and save to your heart’s content!
Honestly, I just used the console command to turn off using a potion to save.
It’s really the main reason I went back to PC over a console. I don’t like weird artificial difficulty modifiers like limiting saves. And PC gives you a lot more freedom to play as you like.
It’s “cheating” as much as any save scumming is, but it’s up to you if you abuse it or not.
But I got to the stealth forest part with zero stealth gear or snaps and just couldn’t put up with it anymore.
I’m on PC too, but I guess I never really minded the potion making part. In KCD2 they even improved on it, since you can make 6 potions at once. My only issue at the start was finding Belladonna at all. There’s some to the southeast of Troskowitz, but not enough to sustain my incessant saving habits.
Now I have plenty. Just figured I’d share.
Oh for sure, it’s good info.
I was just saying if people love the game but hate the save system, on PC it takes like 2 seconds to make it like every other game. There’s people out there who really “save and exit” instead and just keep relaunching the game.
Like a lot of the game, stuff gets way easier once you’re out of early game. But early game it’s brutal.
It’s true. Mods can really be a godsend. Perhaps my next playthrough I will see what mods are there, I usually do my first playthrough without mods. If I had to save and exit every time, I’d get mods too, haha.
They improved the motion sickness thing with alchemy as well btw. The first game I could only do 3 or 4 potions at once, because I’d get all dizzy. Now I can be there for hours if need be.
