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. Next, select the torch and equip it. Once you exit the inventory, hold down on the d-pad if you're playing on a console to have Henry bring out the torch. For PC players, simply press the R key to equip it.
You'll notice the torch is equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Keep in mind that torch flames will eventually extinguish, so it's wise to carry spare torches. Additionally, while you can wield a one-handed weapon alongside the torch, you can't use two-handed weapons or a shield simultaneously with it.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
The torch isn't just for illuminating dark paths; it's crucial for navigating settlements and towns at night. Without a torch, guards will quickly become suspicious, potentially leading to a chase and interrogation where you might have to pay them off with Groschen or face imprisonment. Moreover, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch, enhancing your interactions within the game's world.
How to Get Torches
Obtaining torches is straightforward. You can purchase them from general traders within towns or scavenge them from corpses and chests throughout the game. Ensuring you have an adequate supply of torches is essential for your adventures in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
That covers everything you need to know about using the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more in-depth tips and information on the game, including the best perks to unlock first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
