How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of unconscious bodies isn't always ideal in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Knocking out enemies offers a stealthier alternative. Here's how:

1. Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and approach your target from behind undetected.
2. Knock Out Prompt: Once close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the indicated button.
3. Timing is Key: A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to execute the knockout. If Henry fails, a shield icon will appear; press L2 to restrain the NPC and try again.
4. Failure: Failing both prompts will likely lead to a fight.

Success depends on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. However, certain perks can significantly improve your chances:

• Tight Grip: Increases knockout success rate.
• Sandman: Increases knockout success rate.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies
