Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes it's wiser to leave your enemies unconscious rather than dead. Here's how you can achieve this stealthy maneuver:

1. Press the circle button to crouch and sneak up behind an NPC. When you're close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action.
2. Watch for a blue icon with swords onscreen. At that moment, press the R2 button to knock out the NPC effectively.
3. If Henry doesn't succeed on the first attempt and the NPC struggles, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and secure the knockout.
4. Should you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.

The success of your knockout depends on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. To improve your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

Both perks will increase your likelihood of successfully knocking out opponents, making stealth operations much smoother.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those times when you need a more lethal touch, stealth killing with a dagger is your go-to method. Here's how it works:

1. Equip a dagger and sneak up on an NPC from behind.
2. A prompt will appear if you're close enough and have the dagger ready. Follow the on-screen instructions to execute a stealth kill.
