In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, taking a more subtle approach can be crucial at times. Instead of going all out, you might want to learn how to knock out enemies and NPCs. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to do just that.
Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Sometimes, leaving a trail of bodies isn't the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Knocking out an enemy can be a smarter move. Here's the step-by-step process:
- Start by pressing the circle button to crouch and sneak up behind an NPC.
- Once you're close enough, watch for the 'Knock Out' prompt in the bottom right corner of your screen.
- Press the indicated button to initiate the knock out. When you see a blue icon with swords appear onscreen, press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC.
- If Henry fails initially and the NPC struggles, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent them from escaping and complete the knock out.
- Should you fail both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.
Keep in mind that the success of knocking out an NPC depends on their strength and Henry's own strength stat. To improve your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:
- Tight Grip: Increases your grip strength, making it easier to hold onto struggling NPCs.
- Sandman: Boosts your ability to knock out enemies, enhancing your stealth capabilities.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies
For those preferring a more lethal approach, stealth killing is your go-to method. Here’s how to execute a stealth kill:
- Ensure you have a dagger equipped.
- Sneak up on an NPC from behind just as you would for a knock out.
- When close enough, a prompt for a stealth kill will appear. Follow the prompt to swiftly and silently eliminate your target.
