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 equipping a pouch. Next, select the torch and equip it. Once you've exited the inventory, hold down on the d-pad if you're using a console to have Henry bring out the torch. PC players can press the R key to equip it. You'll recognize that the torch is equipped by the red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Keep in mind that the torch's flame will eventually extinguish, so it's wise to carry extra torches for your journey.

It's also important to note that while you can equip a torch and a weapon simultaneously, this only applies to one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible with carrying a torch at the same time.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

The torch is not just a tool for lighting your way; it's crucial for your safety and social interactions within the game. Carrying a torch at night in settlements and towns is mandatory. Without it, guards will suspect you of nefarious activities, leading to chases, interrogations, and possible fines in Groschen or even arrest. Moreover, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're illuminated, making the torch an essential piece of equipment for nighttime exploration and interactions.

How to Get Torches

Acquiring torches is straightforward. You can purchase them from general traders found in towns, or you can loot them from corpses and chests throughout your travels. Ensuring you have a steady supply of torches will keep your adventures well-lit and safe from the prying eyes of the law.

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