Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: How To See In The Dark

Nighthawk potions are the equivalent of night vision goggles in the game. They drastically enhance visibility, making nighttime almost as bright as day. This is incredibly useful for long journeys and avoiding nighttime dangers like bandits and wild animals.

Important Considerations for Nighthawk Potions:

• NPC Suspicion: Even with a Nighthawk potion active, NPCs may still be suspicious if you approach them at night without a torch. Carry a torch and equip it when interacting with guards or other NPCs to avoid trouble.

• Daytime Use: Avoid using Nighthawk potions during the day or near dawn. The bright sunlight can create a blinding effect, hindering your vision. Wait or sleep to time your potion usage effectively.
