Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, first, open your inventory and equip a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. After exiting the inventory, hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring out the torch. If you’re on PC, simply press the R key to equip it.
You’ll recognize that 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 always have additional torches ready.
While you can equip a one-handed weapon and a torch simultaneously, using a two-handed weapon or a shield with a torch is not possible.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
Beyond illuminating dark areas and improving visibility, carrying a torch at night in settlements and towns is mandatory. Guards will pursue and interrogate anyone caught without one, potentially leading to fines in Groschen or even arrest.
Additionally, locals are more likely to engage with you if you have a torch lit, enhancing your interactions within the game.
How to Get Torches
Torches can be acquired by purchasing them from general traders in towns or by looting them from corpses and chests.
