Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To equip and use the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, start by opening your inventory and equipping a pouch. Next, select the torch and equip it. Once you exit the inventory, hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring out the torch. If you're playing on PC, simply press the R key to equip it. You'll recognize that the torch is equipped by the 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 additional torches.

While you can wield a torch and a one-handed weapon simultaneously, remember that you cannot use it with two-handed weapons or shields. This limitation is crucial to consider during your nighttime adventures.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

A torch isn't just for illuminating dark paths; it's a necessity for moving safely through settlements and towns at night. Without a torch, guards will quickly spot you, leading to chases and interrogations. You'll either need to pay them off with Groschen or face more severe consequences. Moreover, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch, enhancing your interactions in the game's dark settings.

How to Get Torches

Securing torches can be done by purchasing them from general traders in towns or by looting them from corpses and chests. Keeping a steady supply is essential for your nocturnal explorations.

That covers all you need to know about using the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more insights and tips on the game, including the best perks to acquire first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
