Not all enemies can be brawled out in the open inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2.Sometimes, the best kind of warfare is the kind that doesn’t involve fighting at all. If you’re playing with a stealth build, killing people and gaining notoriety can hinder you in the long run, and robbing people without them noticing can be difficult.
Arguably the best time to rob someone is when they’re asleep. However, it’s tedious to wait all night for an NPC to go to bed naturally. That’s where using a Lullaby potion comes in handy. The Lullaby potion can be used to poison cooking pots and make enemies go to bed sooner.
How To Put Enemies To Sleep
There are a few ways to put enemies to sleep. You can either choose toknock an opponent unconscious(asleep or awake) oruse a Lullaby potionon them.
Knock-outs will render your enemies unconscious andunable to wake up, but a Lullaby potion will simplyforce your target to sleepmuch sooner than they normally would.
Sleeping enemies are more vulnerable to beingrobbed or killed, and you can even choose to render themeven more unconsciousby doing a stealth knockout. The downside to this is that enemies who are knocked out or attacked in their sleepcan still make noiseand alert their friends.
This is very useful in large groups of people or in places where many people are asleep next to each other,such as in bandit camps.
How To Use A Lullaby Potion

Lullaby potionswon’t work instantaneously, however, so you’ll need to find a safe spot toeither sleep or waitnearby to pass the time.
