Kingdom Come: Deliverance might be a hardcore, historically-accurate open-world RPG, but there are still buff potions you can cook up for a quick boost in combat. The alchemy table is where you’ll do all your potion brewing, and it’s a complex machine that requires recipes if you want to create the best possible potions. There’s no use in combining stuff, the recipes are way too important here.
Why? Because you’ll have to add ingredients at precise times, prepare items in specific ways, and wait a certain amount of time to cook. Crafting is far more involved than in most games, and there are endless ways you can screw up a recipe if it isn’t cooked exactly right. Thankfully, if you cook a recipe once you’ll learn the concoction permanently, so you can actually skip the books and the reading.
