While it might not be as thrilling as engaging in direct combat, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* offers a sophisticated stealth system that allows players to outmaneuver their enemies. A key component of this system is the ability to throw rocks, which can be a game-changer in your stealth endeavors. Here’s a detailed guide on how to master rock throwing in the game.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
In the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, stealth and cunning can be as valuable as strength. One of the greatest advantages of throwing rocks is that they are unlimited, freeing you from the need to collect missed throws. However, since Henry throws small pebbles, the noise they make upon landing has a limited radius. It’s essential to ensure your target is close to your intended point of impact. If you manage to hit objects like cups or plates, you’ll create a louder sound, drawing more attention.

When executed successfully, enemies will be lured to the sound, giving you the opportunity to either take them down stealthily or continue your mission undetected. Be cautious, though; directly hitting an enemy with a rock can cause an immediate alert, sparking a commotion.
Rocks aren't just for distracting enemies. They can also be used to knock down bird nests, which are plentiful across the game’s map. These nests can yield valuable rewards like eggs, which provide a small nutritional boost, or even dice badges if fortune favors you.
