Navigating the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be challenging, especially at night. This guide explains how to equip and use a torch, a necessity for avoiding trouble with the guards.
Equipping the Torch
To equip a torch:
- Access your inventory.
- Equip a pouch.
- Select the torch and equip it.
- Exit the 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 indicates it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares. You can equip a torch alongside a one-handed weapon, but not with two-handed weapons or a shield.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility, using a torch at night in towns and 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 dark if you're unlit.
Obtaining Torches
Torches are readily available from merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
