Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of bodies isn't always ideal in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Sometimes, rendering enemies unconscious proves more strategic. Here's how it works:


    
Crouch by pressing Circle (PlayStation) or equivalent
    
Sneak behind an NPC undetected
    
When the Knock Out prompt appears (bottom-right), act quickly
    
For the mini-game:
        

            
Press R2 when blue sword icons appear
            
If the target resists, press L2 when shield icons appear
        
    


Failure means combat begins. Success depends on both Henry's strength and the NPC's resilience. These perks improve your odds:

Tight Grip

Sandman

Both upgrades increase knockout chances, making stealth approaches more reliable.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

The stealth kill prompt replaces the knockout option when properly equipped
