In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sometimes a subtle approach is better than all-out combat. This guide details how to incapacitate enemies without killing them.
Knocking Out Enemies
Leaving a trail of corpses isn't always the best strategy. Knocking out enemies offers a less violent alternative. Here's how:
- Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and approach an NPC stealthily from behind.
- Knockout Prompt: A "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner when you're close enough. Press the indicated button.
- Successful Knockout: A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to execute the knockout.
- Struggle Recovery: If Henry fails, a shield icon will appear. Press L2 to subdue the struggling NPC and complete the knockout.
- Failure: Failing both attempts will likely trigger a fight.
Success depends on Henry's strength stat relative to the NPC's. The following perks increase your chances:
- Tight Grip: Improves knockout success rate.
- Sandman: Similarly enhances knockout chances.
Stealth Killing Enemies
For a more lethal stealth approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar to knocking out: sneak up from behind, and a stealth kill prompt will appear if a dagger is equipped.
