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. Then, choose the torch and equip it. After exiting the inventory, hold down on the d-pad if you're on a console to have Henry bring out the torch. For PC players, 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. Remember, torch flames will eventually extinguish, so keep extra torches handy. Also, while you can equip a one-handed weapon and a torch simultaneously, you cannot use two-handed weapons or a shield with a torch at the same time.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

A torch is essential not only for illuminating dark areas and improving visibility but also for staying safe in settlements and towns at night. It's illegal to wander without a torch after dark; if caught by guards, you'll face interrogation and might need to pay a fine in Groschen or risk being taken into custody. Additionally, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch, making it easier to gather information and build relationships.

How to Get Torches

The most reliable ways to acquire torches are by purchasing them from general traders in towns or by looting them from corpses and chests. Keeping a steady supply is crucial for your nighttime adventures.
