You’ll get all the extra Groschen you can, especially when you’re low on funds. Fortunately, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers players some extra through its dice game. So, here’s how you can get Shrinking Die in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

What is the Shrinking Die?

Shrinking Die is one of the most useful dice featured in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It is a very lightly loaded die, making it difficult to distinguish among the regular ones. In the game, it only weighs 0.1 and a value of 15 Groschen. But what makes it particularly special is its weight distribution, whereas:

  • Side 1: Weight 2 (higher chance)
  • Sides 2-5: Weight 1 each (lower chance)
  • Side 6: Weight 3 (highest chance)

With this distribution, you can likely get a 6, then 1, with the rest of the numbers appearing less frequently. You can definitely use this to pair with other dice that favor rolling 6s to earn yourself some extra Groschen.

Where to Find the Shrinking Die 

While this is a simple way to earn, it can be troubling to find. Currently, there are only two ways how you can get Shrinking Die in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

Purchase from Troskowitz

It serves as the easiest and most reliable way to obtain a Shrinking Die in the game. You can easily go to Troskowitz, which is the first town where you freely roam in the game. After that, you’ll have two options where to buy it from:

  1. Any alehouse maid in Troskowitz
  2. Betty (who shares the same inventory as the maids)

Usually, the Shrinking Die costs only 15 Groschen, making it affordable enough for players. However, you can further reduce its current price by: 

  • Improving your reputation in Troskowitz
  • Using the haggling mechanic to negotiate a better price

Using this method surely gives you a favorable result, especially if you really want to get your hands on this die quickly. Just make sure to avoid causing conflicts that will harm your reputation.

Loot from Enemies

Another way to get the Shrinking Die is by looting your defeated enemies. You can loot this from the drunk Cuman that you’ve encountered in “Invaders” questline. Then, you may also find this on dead bandits from the Trosky region. 

However, it is not a recommended method as it’ll take you more time and effort than it’s worth. Also, it’ll likely pose risks to your survival in case you face another group of bandits. Purchase it instead to ensure that you get the extra Groschen you wanted.

How to Use the Shrinking Die Effectively

After you obtain the Shrinking Die, you have to think carefully about the strategies you’ll use for the game. As most players suggested, Shrinking Die is most effective when played with multiple weighted dice. Here’s an example of how you can use this effectively:

  • The Shrinking Die favors rolling 1’s and 6’s (especially 6’s), so pair it with other dice that have similar probability distributions.
  • When you’re using the Shrinking Die, expect to roll the following numbers in order of likelihood:
    • 6 (highest probability)
    • 1 (second highest probability)
    • 2, 3, 4, 5 (all with equal, lower probability)
  • Since the Shrinking Die favors rolling 6s, it’s particularly useful in games where high numbers score well.

Using perks will also help enhance your Shrinking Die, giving you a more favorable result than ordinary ones. The following perks are better to use with Shrinking Die:

  • Creative Soul
  • Lucky Day

Finding Dice Tables

This is the most important part of rolling the dice. Once you have your Shrinking Die, along with other weighted dice, find yourself a dice table. Then, put your loaded dice to use it and earn the rewards after the result. These tables are usually found in taverns and alehouses throughout the game world. 

Conclusion

It is extremely easy to get the Shrinking Die in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Plus, it is a convenient way to get yourself some extra Groschen, without leaving out enjoyment. Keep in mind the dice pairings for maximized results, giving you the best rewards. Also, make sure that you have your luck with you once you roll the dice on the table.
