How to Equip & Use the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

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, ensuring you avoid unwanted encounters with the guards.

Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To equip your torch, access your inventory. First, equip a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. Exit your inventory. 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, torch flames extinguish over time, so carry spares. Note that torch use is compatible only with one-handed weapons; you cannot wield a two-handed weapon or a shield simultaneously with a torch.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch at night within settlements is mandatory. Guards will pursue and interrogate you if seen without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative in the absence of a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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