"Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: A Guide"

While it might be tempting to go all-out in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a subtler approach can be more beneficial. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to knock out enemies and NPCs in the game.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy. There are situations where knocking out an enemy rather than killing them can serve you better. Here's how to do it effectively:

• Start by pressing the circle button to crouch and sneak up behind your target.
• When you're close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the indicated button to initiate the action.
• Watch for a blue icon with crossed swords to appear onscreen. At this moment, press the R2 button to execute the knock out.
• If Henry fails on the first attempt and the NPC starts to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and successfully knock them out.
• Be aware, if you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.

The success of knocking out an enemy largely depends on both the NPC's strength and Henry's own strength stat. To improve your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:

• **Tight Grip**: Enhances your grip strength, making it easier to subdue opponents.
• **Sandman**: Increases the likelihood of knocking someone out, which can significantly ease your stealth endeavors.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those looking to take a more lethal approach, stealth kills are an option, but you'll need a dagger:

• Equip your dagger and sneak up on an NPC from behind.
• Once close enough, a prompt will appear, allowing you to perform a stealth kill.

And that's all you need to know about knocking out and stealth killing enemies in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to acquire Herb Paris and how to romance Katherine, be sure to check out The Escapist.
