Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, follow these steps:
- Open your inventory and equip a pouch.
- Select the torch and equip it.
- Exit the inventory, then hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring up the torch. If you're playing on PC, press the R key to equip it.
You'll know the torch is equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Remember, torch flames will eventually go out, so keep extra torches handy.
While you can equip a torch and a weapon simultaneously, this only works with one-handed weapons. You cannot use a torch with two-handed weapons or a shield.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
A torch is crucial for several reasons:
- Visibility: It lights up dark areas, improving your visibility.
- Compliance: It's illegal to walk around settlements and towns at night without a torch. Guards will chase and interrogate you if you're caught without one, potentially leading to fines or arrest.
- Social Interaction: Locals are more likely to engage with you if you have a torch, making it easier to gather information or complete quests.
How to Get Torches
Obtaining torches is straightforward:
- Purchase them from general traders in towns.
- Loot them from corpses and chests.
And that's everything you need to know about using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, including the best perks to get first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
