Mastering Stealth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: The Art of Rock Throwing

While direct combat has its thrills, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's stealth mechanics offer a compelling alternative. A key element of successful stealth is the ability to distract enemies using rocks. Here's how to perfect this crucial skill.

Remember: Rock throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Initiate stealth mode by pressing the right stick (controllers) or the C key (PC). Once in stealth, hold the designated button to prepare your throw:

• PlayStation: R1
• Xbox: RB
• PC: G

A crosshair will appear, indicating the rock's trajectory. Release the button to hurl the pebble.

Pro Tips for Rock Throwing:

• Unlimited Ammo: Don't worry about running out of rocks; your supply is seemingly endless.
• Noise Radius: The sound of a thrown rock has a limited range. Aim for close targets for maximum effectiveness. Keep in mind that hitting breakable objects (like cups or plates) creates a louder sound.
• Distraction vs. Direct Hit: A well-placed rock will draw enemies' attention, allowing for a stealth takedown or a strategic retreat. However, a direct hit will instantly alert them.
• Bird Nests: Explore the game world to find bird nests. Knocking them down can yield valuable rewards, such as eggs (a small food source) or even rare dice badges.
