Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To equip your torch, access your inventory. First, equip a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. Exiting the inventory, press and hold down on the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (consoles). PC players should press the 'R' key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torch flames extinguish over time, so carry spares.

Note: Simultaneous weapon and torch use is possible, but only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible with torch use.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in the dark, torches are mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Lacking a torch invites unwanted attention from guards, leading to interrogation and potential fines or imprisonment. Locals are also more cooperative when you approach them with a lit torch.

Obtaining Torches

Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
