In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, diving into Alchemy means diving into foliage to find the herbs and flowers you need. Has anyone got a decoction for hay fever? One particularly helpful herb is Valerian, which is used in the Cockerel potion, aiding with Energy and reducing Henry’s tiredness. However, when you need that one specific flower, it suddenly becomes the hardest thing to find—here’s where to get some Valerian.

Valerian is a visibly notable flower, with green, leafy off-shoots and a bundle of white, cotton-like blossoms at the top. It won’t often be clumped together with more Valerian as with Marigold or Nettles, but if you find some, there will likely be more nearby.
First off, the easiest way to get some Valerian would be to visit Apothecaries and Herbalists, as they are likely to sell Dried Valerian. However, as with any dried herbs, this will not be as suitable for crafting stronger concoctions and will likely only create standard versions or weaker ones if mixed with lower-quality herbs. Valerian can be found somewhat commonly in the wilds, on forest paths, peat bogs, or generally damp areas. A solid place to search is the land and forests around the pond in the Trosky region, around Bozhena’s hut, but failing that, any dense forest areas are likely to contain some. Make sure to search while it’s light out, and look for white flowers—it remains distinct from Chamomile, so you probably won’t mistake it for that. However, as with other herbs, you can also check near Apothecaries or in village gardens, where herbs are being cultivated. This is a great way to find larger amounts in one go, but it should not be solely relied upon as the method for finding this particular flower.

Now, if you’ve played Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you already know the grind of herb gathering. It’s you, Henry, and the endless task of running through fields like some medieval florist, hoping your Alchemy skills make it all worthwhile. Valerian, despite its usefulness, can sometimes feel like that one thing the game refuses to spawn when you need it. You could have a whole inventory full of random herbs you picked up “just in case,” yet the one time you need Valerian, it’s nowhere to be found.
A quick way to get around this is to make it part of your routine. Every time you pass through a forested area, just keep an eye out. Valerian isn’t overly rare, but it is easy to overlook. The white blossoms might seem obvious, but when you’re sprinting around or fighting off bandits, you’re probably not looking at the ground for flowers unless you’re roleplaying as a medieval botanist, in which case, respect. Another thing to consider is stocking up. If you’re near a Herbalist or Apothecary, don’t just buy what you need right now—buy extra. Henry gets tired a lot, and Cockerel potions are worth keeping around. Picture yourself in the center of an important mission, drained and out of resources. Try to avoid this outcome.
Speaking of efficiency, let’s talk about some places where Valerian tends to grow more frequently. While it can be found in various spots, some areas are simply better than others. As mentioned earlier, forests near the Trotsky region and Bozhena’s hut are great places to start. But if you’re struggling, try checking near damp areas like peat bogs or any place that looks like it could hold moisture. This flower does not just grow on dry wasteland; it does well in humid, shaded areas as well.
If you are already busy collecting herbs, why not try and pick up some other plants too. Every potion maker will appreciate having Chamomile, Marigold, and Nettles close at hand or even selling them for some additional Groschen. If you’re patient, you could even make some good money selling extra herbs to traders. It’s not the fastest way to get rich, but hey, every coin helps.

Back to our herbal hunt—one more tip. If you’re struggling to find Valerian in the wild, try checking settlements with gardens. Many villages have herbal plots where locals grow various plants, and if you look carefully, you might spot some Valerian among them. Just be mindful—stealing from gardens could land you in trouble. Henry’s been through enough, let’s not add unnecessary crime to the list. And if all else fails, consider leveling up your Herbalism skill. The higher your skill, the easier it becomes to spot plants in the wild. This makes your life significantly easier when searching for specific herbs, and you won’t have to rely as much on random chance. Plus, let’s be real—being a master herbalist just sounds cool.
Let’s be real—if you’re going to get lost in medieval Bohemia, you want the best possible experience. Whether you're playing solo or planning to dive into multiplayer survival games, a dedicated server ensures smooth performance, minimal lag, and a world that doesn’t stutter when you’re in the middle of a sword fight. Platforms like Scalacube make it easy to set up and manage your own dedicated server, giving you the freedom to play the way you want. Whether you’re running a modded experience or just want a reliable connection, having a solid server setup is a total game-changer.
So there you have it—everything you need to know about finding Valerian in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Whether you’re brewing potions, selling herbs for extra Groschen, or just flexing your Alchemy skills, this little flower is definitely worth tracking down. Now get out there, explore some forests, and grab as much Valerian as you can carry. You never know when Henry’s going to need a quick energy boost.
Valerian grows in forests, peat bogs, and damp areas. A good spot is near the pond in the Trosky region or around Bozhena’s hut.
Yes! Apothecaries and Herbalists sell Dried Valerian, but it’s not as potent as fresh herbs. If you want stronger potions, foraging is the better option.
Yes, but it takes time. Herbs regrow after a while, so if you find a good spot, revisit later to gather more.
