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 selecting a pouch to equip. Then, find the torch in your inventory, select it, 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 a PC, simply press the R key to equip it.

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 burn out, so it's wise to carry spare torches.

While you can equip a torch alongside a weapon, this only applies to one-handed weapons. You won't be able to wield a two-handed weapon or use a shield while holding a torch.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

The torch is not just a tool for illuminating dark paths; it's essential for safely navigating settlements and towns at night. Without a torch, guards are likely to pursue and interrogate you, demanding a bribe in Groschen or arresting you. Additionally, locals may be less willing to engage with you in the dark if you're not carrying a lit torch.

How to Get Torches

Acquiring torches is straightforward. You can purchase them from general traders within towns or scavenge them from corpses and chests.

And that's all the essential information you need about using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more in-depth tips and guides, including the best initial perks and all romance options, be sure to explore more content on The Escapist.
