Alchemy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a very important skill through which the players can prepare potions, tonics, and brews with numerous benefits from healing injuries to enhancing fight ability. The bright red flower Poppy is one of the main ingredients in nearly every alchemy recipe, and it has therapeutic properties.

Poppy is primarily used in making potions like the Lullaby Potion, which is very important during the Mice quest, and other useful potions that assist in combat and exploration. Nevertheless, although it is very abundant, it is still hard to get a lot of it, especially at the beginning of the game. This guide will help you find the best places to get Poppy from the wild, find traders who sell Poppy and understand how it is used in alchemy.

Get Started

Unlike exotic plants like Herb Paris, which occurs sparingly in Bohemian wilderness, Poppy grows abundantly in Bohemia's wilderness. Its red-colored petals also make it simpler to identify, though in some areas it will be masked by wildflowers.

Among the best early-game locations to collect Poppy is in the woodlands between Troskowitz and Tachov. This forest is laden with herbs and houses quite a lot of patches of Poppy, thus making it a great place for Poppy harvesting. Players who visit this location will find other alchemy components including Valerian,Thistle, Dandelion, as well as Nettle. Poppy also grows on roadsides, fields, and near villages. Other areas where you can find large patches of Poppy are:

• Fields near Troskowitz – A few clusters are found near the meadows and farmlands surrounding the town.
• Near Blacksmith Radovan's workshop in Tachov – A small roadside patch is found near the blacksmith structure.
• Vegetable garden beside Apothecary Emmerich's herb garden – Although Emmerich himself does not sell Poppy, there are a few patches near his shop.
• Fields south of Zhelejov – Great location for those traveling a bit more south in search of alchemy materials. If you're farming Poppy in the wild, horseback riding is a great option to make the trip faster. You can complete the side quest "The Jaunt" to get a free horse early in the game.

Where to Buy Poppy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

For those who don't want to waste time picking herbs, Poppy can also be bought from certain Herbalists and Apothecaries. One of the best traders to buy from is Herbalist Aranka, in the Nomad's Camp. You can buy fresh Poppy from her for an affordable 0.1 Groschen per flower, thus making it an affordable option for alchemists to stock up quickly. But not all Apothecaries carry Poppy. Apothecary Emmerich in Troskowitz does not sell Poppy, so you may need to travel to several Herbalists around the game map if you are relying on merchants.

What Is Poppy Used for in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Poppy is used in several key alchemy recipes. These are some of its most common applications:

1. Lullaby Potion

   • Quest Use: Required for the Mice quest in battling the bull.

Do Herbs Spawn Again in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Herbs will spawn after a while in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but take this into consideration:

• Herbs would normally take a few in-game days to respawn.
• Standing in one spot for too long will slow herb respawns.
• Fast-traveling out of the area and returning later will usually reset herb spawns. That is, if your go-to farming spots have run out in Poppy, give the game to let time generate or explore other locations to find more.
