Comfrey is a healing herb you craft and use in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Comfrey is a plant in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 that you pick from the ground in specific locations, then use to make healing potions or salves. You cannot buy it from merchants — you have to find it yourself in the world. The plant grows in damp areas near water, and once you know where to look, you can gather enough to stock your inventory for the rest of the game.

The reason you want comfrey is that it heals wounds and injuries when you craft it into potions. If you are playing on a harder difficulty or exploring dangerous areas, having comfrey on hand means you do not have to rely on finding bandages or paying for healing at an inn.

Key Takeaways

  • Comfrey grows near water in specific locations across the map, particularly around streams and marshes in Bohemia.
  • You pick comfrey by walking up to it and holding the interact button — it appears as a small green plant with purple flowers.
  • Once gathered, you can craft comfrey into healing potions at an alchemy table or use it raw in certain recipes.
  • The most reliable comfrey locations are near Rattay, the Monastery, and along the river south of Uzhitz.

The main comfrey locations in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Comfrey grows in clusters near water sources throughout the game world. The easiest place to find it early on is near Rattay, where you can walk down to the riverbank and find several plants growing along the water's edge. This location is close to the starting area, so you can gather a small supply without traveling far.

The Monastery also has comfrey growing nearby, especially in the marshy ground to the south and east of the building. If you are doing quests in that area, you can pick some while you are there. Another reliable spot is along the river south of Uzhitz — walk toward the water and look for the distinctive purple flowers on low green plants.

As you explore the map and unlock new areas, you will find comfrey in other damp locations. The pattern is always the same: look near streams, rivers, and marshy ground. If you see a body of water on your map, there is usually comfrey growing within a short walk of it.

How to identify and pick comfrey

Comfrey looks like a small plant with broad green leaves and purple or blue flowers. It is shorter than many other plants in the game, so you have to look down at ground level to spot it. When you are close enough, the interact prompt will appear on screen — hold the button and your character will pick the plant and add it to your inventory.

You can pick the same comfrey plant only once. After you harvest it, that spot will be empty until the game world resets (which takes in-game time). If you find a cluster of comfrey, pick all of it before moving on, because you may not pass through that area again for a while.

What to do with comfrey once you have it

The main use for comfrey is crafting healing potions at an alchemy table. You need comfrey plus other ingredients — usually water and sometimes honey or other herbs — to make a potion that heals wounds. The exact recipe depends on which potion you are trying to make, but comfrey is almost always the base ingredient.

You can also use comfrey raw in some recipes, or store it in your inventory to sell to herbalists or alchemists if you gather more than you need. However, since healing potions are useful throughout the game, it is usually better to craft them than to sell the raw plant.

How much comfrey you should gather

Gather comfrey whenever you see it, even if your inventory is getting full. You can always drop other items and come back for them, but comfrey respawns slowly and you will use it regularly. A good target is to have at least 10 to 15 comfrey plants in your inventory at any time, which gives you enough to craft several healing potions.

If you are playing on a harder difficulty where you take more damage, aim for 20 or more. The cost of carrying extra comfrey (just a small amount of inventory weight) is much lower than the cost of running out of healing items in the middle of a fight or long journey.

Alchemy tables and where to craft potions

Once you have comfrey, you need an alchemy table to turn it into a potion. The Monastery has an alchemy table that you can use, and there are others in larger towns like Rattay and Uzhitz. Talk to the herbalist or alchemist in each town to learn which recipes you can make and what ingredients each one needs.

Some alchemy tables are easier to reach than others. The Monastery table is quiet and out of the way, which makes it a good place to craft in bulk. Town tables are faster to reach if you are in the middle of a quest, but you may have to wait for the alchemist to finish with other customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy comfrey from a merchant instead of finding it?

No. Merchants in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 do not sell comfrey. You have to pick it from the ground yourself. This is by design — the game wants you to explore and gather resources rather than just buying everything you need.

Does comfrey respawn in the same location?

Yes, but slowly. After you pick comfrey from a spot, it will grow back after several in-game days. If you find a good comfrey location, you can return to it periodically and harvest again, but do not expect it to be there the next time you pass through.

What if I use all my comfrey and run out?

Go back to the locations where you found it before and gather more. The river near Rattay and the Monastery grounds are your most reliable sources. If you are in a hurry, you can also buy healing potions that are already made from alchemists or herbalists in towns.

Do I need a special skill to pick comfrey?

No. Any character can pick comfrey by walking up to it and holding the interact button. You do not need to unlock a skill or have a special item. The only requirement is finding the plant in the world.

What healing potions should I make with comfrey?

The best choice depends on what you need. Comfrey-based potions generally heal wounds and injuries. Ask the alchemist or herbalist which recipes they know, and pick the one that heals the most for the ingredients you have on hand.
