Herbs are a vital resource in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, allowing players to craft potions that restore health, enhance stealth, improve night vision, and much more. However, gathering herbs can be tedious when scouring the wilderness for scattered plants. Fortunately, woodland gardens provide a convenient solution, offering concentrated patches of herbs in secluded forest clearings.While these gardens are incredibly useful, they can be difficult to locate due to their remote placements. This guide will help you find every major woodland garden in Trosky and Kuttenberg, ensuring you never run short of essential herbs for alchemy.
Why Woodland Gardens Are Important
Before diving into locations, it’s worth understanding why woodland gardens are so valuable:
- Efficiency: Instead of wandering the wilderness, you can harvest multiple herbs in one spot.
- Rare Herbs: Some gardens contain hard-to-find plants like Herb Paris, Belladonna, or Thistle.
- Safety: Unlike wild foraging, gardens are usually free of bandits or dangerous wildlife.
- Alchemy Boost: Having a steady supply of herbs means more potions for combat, stealth, and exploration.
