So, for those interested in fighting (not sleeping) all day and night, the Cockerel Potion is the solution. Here is how to craft this potion in Kingdom Come: Delverance 2, with a list of ingredients and the necessary steps to make the best quality version.

How To Craft Cockerel Potions In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To craft Cockerel, players will need 2x Mint and Valerian — or, in case they don't have access to fresh herbs, 2x Dried Mint and Dried Valerian. Players can find Mint in certain Herb Gardens in towns, and mainly on the edges of thick forests. North of Zhelejov, near the shepherd grasslands, players can find a big patch of Mint to farm. Valerian is an herb with a white flower that grows nearly everywhere on the side of the roads.

Be careful not to confuse Valerian with Chamomile, which is also a common herb in this zone.

Now, to brew the Cockerel Potion, players need to follow the next procedure:

Add Spirits to the cauldron.
Grind the Mint and add it to the cauldron.
Boil for one turn.
Add the valerian and boil for two turns.
Distill.

If done correctly, players will craft the Cockerel Potion, and depending on which Alchemy Perks they have active, they can end up brewing a Strong Cockerel or Henry's Cockerel, which have even greater effects. To make this possible, players will need the Secret of Secrets Alchemy Perk.

Of course, crafting the best versions of the Potion also requires players to follow the procedure step by step without burning the ingredients or missing the order or the temperature of the cauldron, so pay attention to the steps and go by the book to have the best results. Here are the effects of each version of the Cockerel Potion:

Cockerel: +20 Energy.
Strong Cockerel: + 20 Energy and Energy decreases 20% slower for half a day.
Henry's Cockerel: + 30 Energy and Energy decreases 50% slower for half a day.

As players might have guessed, the best possible result offers the best effects. That 50% decrease in Energy consumption is one of the strongest effects a potion can grant in the game, and it is especially useful when dealing with prolonged questlines like The Fifth Commandment.
