Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To equip and use the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, follow these straightforward steps. First, open your inventory and equip a pouch. Next, select the torch and equip it. Once you've done that, exit the inventory menu. If you're playing on a console, hold down on the d-pad 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. Keep in mind that torches do burn out over time, so it's wise to carry extra torches to avoid being left in the dark.
Additionally, while you can equip a torch and a one-handed weapon simultaneously, you won't be able to use two-handed weapons or a shield with the torch. This limitation is something to consider when planning your adventures in the game.
Why Do You Need a Torch?
The torch is not just a tool for lighting up dark areas; it's essential for navigating settlements and towns at night. Without a torch, guards will view you with suspicion and may chase you down for interrogation. You'll either have to pay them off with Groschen or face the consequences, which could mean being carted off to jail.
Moreover, locals are more likely to engage with you if you're carrying a torch, making it easier to gather information and build relationships within the game's world.
How to Get Torches
Acquiring torches is relatively simple. You can purchase them from general traders in towns or find them by looting corpses and chests. Keeping a steady supply of torches is crucial for your nighttime explorations and interactions.
And that's everything you need to know about using the torch in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including the best perks to acquire first and all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
