Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To equip and use the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, start by opening your inventory and selecting a pouch to equip. Next, find the torch in your inventory, select it, and equip it. Once you exit the inventory, hold down 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 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 use a torch alongside a one-handed weapon, you can't pair it with two-handed weapons or a shield simultaneously.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

The torch is crucial for more than just lighting up dark areas; it's essential for better visibility. Moreover, it's illegal to roam around settlements and towns at night without one. Guards will chase you down if they catch you without a torch, leading to either a fine in Groschen or an unwanted trip to jail. Additionally, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch in the dark.

How to Get Torches

The most reliable way to acquire torches is by purchasing them from general traders in town. Alternatively, you can loot them from corpses and chests throughout your adventures.

That covers everything you need to know about using the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, including the best perks to unlock first and all romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
