How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sometimes a subtle approach is better than all-out combat. This guide explains how to incapacitate enemies without killing them.

Knocking Out Enemies

Leaving a trail of corpses isn't always the best strategy. Knocking out enemies offers a stealthier alternative. Here's how:

1. Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and approach an NPC from behind.
2. Knockout Prompt: When close enough, a "Knock Out" prompt appears in the bottom right corner. Press the corresponding button.
3. Success/Failure: A blue icon with swords indicates a successful knockout. Press R2. If the NPC resists (indicated by a shield icon), press L2 to subdue them. Failing both prompts leads to a confrontation.

Success depends on Henry's strength compared to the NPC's. These perks improve your chances:

• Tight Grip: Increases knockout success rate.
• Sandman: Increases knockout success rate.

Stealth Kills

For a more lethal stealth approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar: sneak up from behind, and the stealth kill prompt will appear.
