Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To effectively equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, follow these steps:
- Open your inventory and select a pouch to equip.
- Choose the torch from your inventory and equip it.
- Exit the inventory, then hold down on the d-pad (for console players) or press the R key (for PC players) to bring out the torch.
You'll know the torch is successfully equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Remember, torches have a limited lifespan and will eventually burn out, so keep additional torches on hand.
While you can wield a one-handed weapon alongside a torch, it's not possible to use a two-handed weapon or a shield simultaneously with a torch.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
Carrying a torch is not just about illuminating your path; it's essential for staying out of trouble. In settlements and towns, it's illegal to wander at night without a torch. Guards will pursue and interrogate you if they catch you without one, potentially leading to fines or arrest. Additionally, locals may be less willing to engage with you in the dark if you're not carrying a torch.
How to Get Torches
To ensure you're never left in the dark, you can acquire torches by:
- Purchasing them from general traders in towns.
- Looting them from corpses and chests you come across during your travels.
With these tips in mind, you'll be better equipped to navigate the night safely and effectively in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more insights and strategies, including the best perks to prioritize and all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
