Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, start by opening your inventory. Equip a pouch first, then select the torch and equip it. Once you exit the inventory, hold down on the d-pad if you're using a console, or press the R key if you're on a PC, to have Henry bring out the torch.
You'll recognize that the torch is equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Remember, torch flames don’t last indefinitely; they will eventually go out, so keep extra torches on hand.
It's also worth noting that you can equip a torch alongside a one-handed weapon. However, you won't be able to use a two-handed weapon or a shield simultaneously with a torch.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
Torches are crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for more than just lighting up dark areas. They're essential for moving around settlements and towns at night. Without a torch, guards will quickly spot you, leading to a chase and potential interrogation. You might have to pay them off with Groschen or face even worse consequences.
Moreover, locals are more likely to engage with you if you carry a torch, making it easier to gather information or complete quests.
How to Get Torches
The easiest ways to obtain torches are by purchasing them from general traders within towns or by looting them from corpses and chests. Keeping a good supply is advisable, given their importance.
And that's everything you need to know about using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, including the best perks to get first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
