Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

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

1. Open your inventory and equip a pouch.
2. Select the torch from your inventory and equip it.
3. Exit the inventory screen.
4. On console, hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring out the torch. On PC, 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 it's wise to carry spare torches.

While you can equip a one-handed weapon and a torch simultaneously, this is not possible with two-handed weapons or when using a shield.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

Beyond illuminating dark areas and improving visibility, carrying a torch is essential for moving through settlements and towns at night. Without one, guards will likely chase you down for questioning, potentially resulting in a fine or even arrest. Additionally, locals may be more hesitant to engage with you in the dark if you're not carrying a torch.

How to Get Torches

The most reliable ways to obtain torches are by purchasing them from general traders in towns or by looting them from corpses and chests.

And that’s everything 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 acquire first and all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
