Navigating the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 requires awareness, and carrying a torch is key to avoiding unwanted attention. This guide details how to equip and use a torch in the game.
Equipping the Torch
To equip your torch, access your inventory. First, equip a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. Exit the inventory. On consoles, hold down the d-pad to activate the torch. PC players should 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; keep spares handy. Note that you can only equip a torch alongside a one-handed weapon; two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible with torch use.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after dark. Guards will pursue and question you if seen without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.
Obtaining Torches
Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
