Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To equip your torch, open your inventory. First, equip a pouch. Then, select your torch and equip it. Exit your inventory. On consoles, hold down the d-pad to activate the torch; PC players press the R key. A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so keep spares handy. Also note that you can only equip a torch with one-handed weapons; two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is essential for navigating settlements and towns at night. Guards will actively pursue and question anyone found without one, potentially leading to a fine or imprisonment. Furthermore, locals may be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.
How to Get Torches
The easiest way to acquire torches is by purchasing them from general traders in towns or by looting them from fallen enemies and chests.
That covers the basics of torch usage in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more in-depth guides and strategies, including optimal perk selections and romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
