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, hold down the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (for Henry to light it). 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; keep spares handy.

Note: Simultaneous weapon and torch use is limited to one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible with torch use.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Guards will pursue and question anyone seen without one, demanding a Groschen bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative in the absence of a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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