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 if you're on a console, or press the R key if you're playing on PC, to have Henry bring out the torch.

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 spare torches to ensure you're not left in the dark.

While you can wield a torch and a one-handed weapon simultaneously, you won't be able to use two-handed weapons or a shield alongside the torch.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

The torch isn't just for lighting up the dark paths; it's essential for moving through settlements and towns at night. Without a lit torch, guards are likely to pursue and interrogate you, demanding a bribe in Groschen or threatening to arrest you. Additionally, locals might be less willing to interact with you if you're shrouded in darkness without a torch.

How to Get Torches

To keep your journey well-lit, you can acquire torches by purchasing them from general traders within the towns or by looting them from corpses and chests you encounter.

And that’s 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 unlock first and all available romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
