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, press and hold down on the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (consoles). 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 that you can only equip a torch alongside one-handed weapons; two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible with torch use.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, torches are mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Lacking one will attract unwanted attention from guards, resulting in interrogation and potential fines or arrest. Locals may also be less cooperative without a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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