Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To equip and use the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, start by opening your inventory and equipping a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. Once you exit the inventory, hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring out the torch. If you're playing on PC, simply 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. Keep in mind that the torch's flame will eventually extinguish, so it's wise to carry extra torches for those long, dark journeys.

While you can equip a torch and a weapon simultaneously, this only works with one-handed weapons. You won't be able to wield a two-handed weapon or use a shield alongside a torch.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

A torch is more than just a light source in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. It's crucial for navigating settlements and towns at night. Without a torch, guards will quickly spot you, leading to a chase and possible interrogation. You'll need to pay them off with Groschen or face the consequences. Additionally, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch, making it easier to gather information or complete quests.

How to Get Torches

The best ways to acquire torches are by purchasing them from general traders in towns or by looting them from corpses and chests. Always keep a few on hand to ensure you're never caught in the dark.

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