How to Equip the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To equip and use a torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, open your inventory and ensure a pouch is equipped. Select a torch and equip it, then exit the inventory. On a controller, hold down on the d-pad. On PC, simply press the R key to light your torch.
You'll know the torch is active when you see a red shield icon next to its inventory entry. Remember, torches burn out over time, so always carry spares to relight when needed.
Additionally, you can wield a one-handed weapon while holding a torch. This is not possible with two-handed weapons, and you cannot use a torch and a shield simultaneously.
Why You Need a Torch
Beyond illuminating dark areas and improving visibility, carrying a lit torch is legally required in towns and settlements at night. Guards will pursue and question anyone without one, forcing you to pay a fine in Groschen or face imprisonment.
Locals are also more likely to avoid conversation if you approach them in the dark without a light source.
How to Get Torches
The easiest way to acquire torches is to buy them from general merchants in any town. You can also find them by looting chests and defeated enemies.
That covers everything you need to know about using torches in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more guides and tips, including the best early-game perks and all romance options, explore more coverage here on The Escapist.
