Navigating the unforgiving world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires preparedness, and a torch is a crucial tool for survival. This guide details how to equip and use a torch, avoiding unwanted attention from the guards.

Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To equip your torch:

1. Access your inventory.
2. Equip a pouch.
3. Select the torch and equip it.
4. Exit the inventory.
5. On consoles, hold down the d-pad to activate the torch. On PC, press the 'R' key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares. You can equip a one-handed weapon alongside the torch, but two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Guards will pursue and question you without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals might also be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.

Obtaining Torches

Torches are readily available from merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
