How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a subtler approach can be more effective than going in guns blazing (metaphorically speaking, of course). Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to knock out enemies and NPCs, as well as how to execute stealth kills in the game.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes, it's more beneficial to knock out an enemy, leaving them unconscious. Here's how you can do it smoothly:

Start by pressing the circle button to crouch and then sneak up behind your target. When you're close enough, a prompt to Knock Out will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the indicated button to initiate the knockout. When a blue icon with swords appears, press R2 to execute the move. If Henry fails initially and the NPC starts to struggle, a shield icon will appear. At this point, press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and successfully knock them out. If you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.

This technique can be challenging, as your success largely depends on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. However, certain perks can make the process easier:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

Both perks significantly increase your chances of successfully knocking someone out, making stealth operations smoother.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those times when you need a more lethal approach, stealth killing NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* requires a dagger. The method is similar to knocking out: sneak up behind the NPC with your dagger equipped, and a prompt will appear allowing you to execute a stealth kill.

And that's all you need to know about knocking out and stealth killing enemies in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed guides on the game, including how to find Herb Paris and romance Katherine, be sure to check out The Escapist.
