Publish date: 2023-07-02

Kingdom Come: Deliverance's save game system is a weirdly one. The system that governs how to save in Kingdom Come restricts how and when you can save to just a handful of situations, and drastically restricts your ability to do it on demand, too.

One of those ways to save the game is by drinking Saviour Schnapps, a rare potion that can occasionally be bought or given as a reward. Others include sleeping and auto saving, too. Here on this page, we'll explain exactly how to save, as well as how to get Saviour Schnapps and where to find a bed.

How to get Saviour Schnapps and find a bed to save the game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Saviour Schnapps are generally sold in Taverns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, as well as in-stock at general traders and on-hand from barmaids that roam around the taverns, too. They're not cheap, but serve as a crucial means of saving on-demand for when you know you need to, and especially if you know you both haven't saved in a while, and there isn't a chance to do so in the near future.

You can also brew them yourself, although that's a little more involved and time-consuming, particularly if you're adept enough at making money that you can use to buy them anyway.

As for beds, there are a few specifics to note here: namely the fact that only your own bed counts as one that will save your game.

One of the first permanent beds you'll get is at the mill near Rattay, after you've escaped Talmberg and triggered the opening credits of the game. The bed you wake up in is where you can take a nap (of at least an hour) to save.

After that, you'll pick up beds along the way as you progress through the main quests, but it's worth noting that you can pay a bit of coin to save more conveniently too, by using an Inn. Beds that you pay for at Inns, which are dotted around the world, will count as your own for the time you bought them for, which can come in handy if you're out of Schnapps and away from a comfy spot of your own.

Basically, any bed that displays the bed icon on your map counts as one you can save in. Worst comes to worst, fast travel back to Rattay and head to your bed in the mill, as it's as trusty a spot as you'll find early on.
