Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, follow these steps:

1. Open your inventory and ensure you have a pouch equipped.
2. Select the torch from your inventory and equip it.
3. Exit the inventory, then hold down on the d-pad if you're using a console, or press the R key on PC to have Henry bring out the torch.

You'll know the torch is equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Remember, torches do burn out over time, so keep additional ones handy.

While you can equip a torch and a weapon simultaneously, this only works with one-handed weapons. You cannot use a two-handed weapon or a shield alongside a torch.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

A torch is essential for several reasons:

• Visibility: It lights up dark areas, improving your visibility.
• Compliance: It's illegal to wander around settlements and towns at night without a torch. If caught without one, guards will chase you down, leading to fines or arrest.
• Social Interaction: Locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch in the dark.

How to Get Torches

To acquire torches, you have two main options:

• Purchase them from general traders within towns.
• Loot them from corpses and chests you encounter during your adventures.

And that's all you need to know about using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including the best perks to unlock first and all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
