Starting money trick

[Stormshadows]

So this is in the very start of the game when you first make camp by the lake with Sir Hans. If you look in your inventory you will have like 1400 Groshen. There is a small cave right there, the one that the dice player got the table from. In this cave is a chest. Transfer all your groshen into the chest. When you come back later it will be there. They wont let you put anything but the groshen into the chest. The camp by the lake is inhabited by bandits and is north of the nomad camp. Fun trick!

Jeez, the KCD2 is the last game on earth where you should be aware of money. Brewing potions at Bozhena's in prologue bring you much more money, than 1403 at the beginning.

Oh stop it. Getting 1400 in the start is allot. Do you know how long you have to make potions to get that? Its allot. You can get to level 18 in alchemy and not even be close. Its a nice little trick to get a little head start. Jeez, some one woke up on the wrong side of the bed...

It took 30 minutes. So I've cleared off both apothecary and trader and bought everything I need in Troskowitz - clothing, linen armor, shovel, some recipes of other potions, e.t.c. Then went to take injured Skadufax (Pebbles) back, and rode to the blacksmith to buy a mace and a helmet. So, boom - Jindro is an unstoppable death machine because of 30 minutes of brewing.

In your case, you need to get some armor to kill the bastards, camping, and sum in the chest is reduced every game hour. So there are two outcomes of such a trick:
1) You need no money, because you have some armor, and could kill any low-level NPC and sell their gear.
2) You will die trying to get that groschen in the chest)

Just use poison....no armor needed to clear the camp. Just good footwork and timing. easy on hardcore. Get into a fight on your way to the blacksmith and you got half your armor. Your already going in the direction of the lake to go see Tom Cat. And no, you cant make 1400 in a half hour as a "starting" alchemist. And the sum was not reduced over time as you claim, and no i didn't die doing it or i wouldn't have posted it. All on hard core mode. So many assumptions in your post and flat out wrong statements. Here, I'll make some assumptions bout you. You probably don't know that you don't need the sand timer in alchemy and that you can grind stuff as your boiling. You probably don' know you can steal every book from the scribe in his bedroom as well, nor do you probably know that you don't need to buy recipes for potions if you know the recipe in real life.

You could even use stealth to get the groshen placed in the chest. No need to clear the camp.

Hang on.... considering that Henry will lose all of his possessions anyway I wonder if it would be beneficial to put all of Henry's belongings in that chest after the sparring match with Capon, just before sitting down at the campfire. Because after that sit down, everything else is scripted and unavoidable.

They will only let you put the groshen in, no other items.

i believe I tried this and your equipment cant be removed, groschen is fair game though.

Bandits in that camp in particular are very easy to solo or duo pull. Easy camp to tackle even with no gear.

you can't. I was wondering why i could only put some groschen and minor items in that chest and tought i would try it because you loose it anyhow. And totally forgot about it. xD

Think i know where im heading now, lol.

Also: whats hindering you to just sneak in and take the stuff?
