How to Handle Nests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bohemia’s landscapes are adorned with lush greenery, majestic trees, and some of the most intricate forests found in open-world gaming. In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, these forests significantly enhance the gaming experience, providing a captivating and immersive backdrop for players.

During your journey, you will often stumble upon bird nests scattered throughout the environment, yet the game offers little guidance on their significance.

When you approach a nest, an in-game notification appears in the top right corner indicating, “You discovered Nest.”

Once you identify a nest, it will be permanently marked on your map and will also appear on your compass when you’re nearby, allowing you to revisit it later.

How to Knock Down a Nest

If you wish to knock down a nest, you can do so with either a Bow or Crossbow.

Consider these tips when you plan to approach a nest:

The nest is a physical object with real physics. It may roll off surfaces, so watch it closely as it falls.
You may also find nests in urban areas, but it’s wise to wait until there are no NPCs or guards before shooting, as they may react adversely.
If you’re struggling to locate a nest within the trees, consider waiting for clearer sunlight; alternatively, use photo mode for a better view.

In rare instances, you can examine a nest up close. In such cases, simply interact rather than using an arrow.
