Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

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

1. Open your inventory and equip a pouch.
2. Select the torch and equip it.
3. Exit the inventory, then hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring up the torch. If you're playing on PC, 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. Remember, torch flames will eventually extinguish, so keep extra torches handy.

While you can equip a torch and a weapon simultaneously, this only works with one-handed weapons. You cannot use a torch with two-handed weapons or a shield.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

A torch is essential in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for several reasons:

• Visibility: It lights up dark areas, improving your visibility.
• Legal Requirement: It's illegal to walk around settlements and towns at night without a torch. Guards will chase and interrogate you if you're caught without one, forcing you to pay a fine in Groschen or face arrest.
• Social Interaction: Locals are more likely to engage with you if you have a torch, making it easier to gather information or complete quests.

How to Get Torches

Obtaining torches is straightforward:

• Purchase them from general traders in towns.
• Loot 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 information on the game, including the best perks to get first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
