Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, follow these steps:

  1. Open your inventory and ensure you have a pouch equipped.
  2. Select the torch from your inventory and equip it.
  3. Exit the inventory, then hold down on the d-pad if you're using a console, or press the R key on PC to bring up the torch with Henry.

You'll recognize that the torch is equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Keep in mind that the torch's flame will eventually extinguish, so it's wise to carry extra torches.

While you can equip a torch and a weapon simultaneously, this is limited to one-handed weapons. Unfortunately, you can't wield a two-handed weapon or use a shield while holding a torch.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

The torch isn't just for lighting up dark paths. It's essential for navigating settlements and towns at night. Without it, guards will quickly spot you, leading to chases and potential interrogations. You'll need to either pay them off with Groschen or face being carted off. Additionally, locals may be less willing to interact with you if you're shrouded in darkness without a torch.

How to Get Torches

To keep your inventory stocked with torches, you can:

  • Purchase them from general traders in towns.
  • Loot them from corpses or chests you come across during your adventures.

And that's everything you need to know about using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more insights and tips, be sure to visit The Escapist, where you can find information on the best perks to unlock first and all the romance options available in the game.
