In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, distilling is one of the key steps in the Alchemy process of brewing potions. Like any other mechanism, Warhorse Studios has made the Alchemy intricate and realistic. However, this also made the process a bit complicated, especially the distilling.

Some potions require performing the distill action as the final step of brewing. However, the game doesn’t provide enough details on how to distill in the action RPG, leaving players confused about the process. This guide explains everything about distilling in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and how to perform the action.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: How to Distill Potions

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 lets players learn and master various activities, including Horse Riding, Stealing, Blacksmithing, and Alchemy. Distilling is one of the crucial steps in Alchemy, determining the quality and success of the potions.

While you can technically distill any potion in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, some require it as a mandatory step to complete the brewing process. The requirement of a Phial to store a potion makes the process challenging, as it remains hidden from sight during brewing. 

Here is how to distill:

  • Interact with the Alchemy bench
  • Look for phial and grab it, which is usually hidden behind the still. 
  • Then interact with the still while holding phial. 
  • This will initiate a sequence where Henry pours the potion from the cauldron into the still and then transfers it to phial.
  • This completes the brewing process, making your potion ready for use.

Things to Consider When Distilling Potions in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Since Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 emphasizes realism, even smaller action makes a difference in the gameplay. A great example is the difference between pouring and distilling a potion. It is essential to follow the recipe carefully — some require pouring as the final step, while others specifically call for distilling. Always ensure that you distill the potions with the instruction ‘Finally, distill’ written in the recipe. Mixing up the final step can even result in spoiling the potion.
