While a full-on assault is always an option in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a more subtle approach is needed. Subduing enemies without killing them can be advantageous in certain situations. Here's how to knock out enemies and NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*:
Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Leaving a trail of unconscious bodies isn't always the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Knocking out enemies offers a less lethal alternative. Here's how:
- Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and stealthily approach an NPC from behind.
- Knockout Prompt: Once close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the indicated button.
- Timing is Key: A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry fails, a shield icon will appear; press L2 to restrain the NPC and attempt the knockout again.
- Failure: Failing both attempts will likely result in a fight.
Success depends on the NPC's strength and Henry's own strength stat. However, certain perks can significantly improve your chances:
- Tight Grip
- Sandman
Both perks increase your knockout success rate, making stealth much easier.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies
For a more decisive, yet still stealthy approach, use a dagger. The process is similar to knocking someone out: sneak up from behind; if you have a dagger equipped, a stealth kill prompt will appear.
