In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, there are some game systems that the developers do not explicitly tell you about, and that you have to discover for yourself. Among these is the fact that your loyal horse can be fed. Players on Reddit are shocked to find this out.
How does food work in KCD 2? Food plays an important role in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. The character Heinrich must eat regularly to avoid continuously losing stamina and eventually collapsing from lack of strength – you can read more in our beginner’s guide.
This game element is explained to you by the developers right at the start. However, they conceal that your horse can also consume food. A player has recently figured this out and shared his discovery on Reddit.
Players feel guilty
How is the horse fed? It’s actually quite obvious. As Reddit user Sir_JumboSaurus shows in a video, you just need to open the inventory, select food, and drop it.
The carrots or whatever you serve your animal companion tumble to the ground and are immediately eaten by the horse.
However, because Kingdom Come 2 keeps this detail from you, very few players discover it themselves. It would be only logical in a game that requires you to eat regularly – wouldn’t it?
How does the community react? Apparently, this feature has slipped past numerous players. This is evidenced by the many comments under the Reddit post. Many are just now finding out that they can feed their horse, and they feel guilty about it.
Among them is the user grimarchangel, who has put 200 hours into the game. He writes: “Now I feel like I let my buddy starve for 200 hours.”
Others join him:
- “You can feed the horse?” – Kapacb
- “Oh Pebbles. I am so sorry” – Papa_Raj
- “Now I understand why my horse never wins a race… I let it starve for weeks, OMG” – MadHanini
- “Guys, horses eat grass. Pebbles wasn’t starving” – reassures M0ebiu_1
Does food have an impact on the horse? Unlike Heinrich, it doesn’t matter to the horses whether they get something to eat or not. From a gameplay perspective, it makes no difference. Morally speaking, however… it does – depending on what kind of person you are.
At least on Reddit, it shows that most players now have a guilty conscience. Had they known about it, they would have thrown food at their horse much earlier. Did you know about this feature? Feel free to let us know in the comments. In KCD 2, there is still a secret feature related to horses: Players learn about a secret skill of their horse, feel guilty
