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 avoiding unwanted attention. This guide details how to equip and use a torch effectively.

Equipping and Using the Torch

To equip your torch, access your inventory. First, equip a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. Exit the inventory. To activate the torch, press and hold down on the directional pad (d-pad) on consoles. PC players should press the 'R' key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember that torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares.

Note: Simultaneous use of a torch and a weapon is possible, but only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields cannot be used concurrently with a torch.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns at night. Guards will pursue and interrogate you if you're seen without one, leading to a fine or imprisonment. Additionally, locals may 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.
