While it might not be as thrilling as engaging in open combat, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* offers a robust stealth system that allows players to sneak past their enemies. One of the key tools at your disposal for stealth tactics is rock throwing. Here’s how you can master this skill:
It’s crucial to understand that you can only throw rocks when you're in stealth mode. To enter stealth, click the right stick on your controller or press the C key on your PC. Once in stealth, depending on your gaming platform, press and hold the following button to ready a rock for throwing:
As you hold the button, Henry’s right hand will appear on the screen, clutching a pebble, and a small crosshair will guide you to your target. Once you’ve lined up your throw, release the button to send the rock flying.

The beauty of throwing rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* lies in their unlimited supply, meaning you won’t need to chase after your missed throws. However, since Henry uses small pebbles, their noise radius is limited. It’s essential to aim close to your target for the distraction to work effectively. If you manage to hit objects like cups or plates, the noise will be more pronounced, drawing more attention.

When executed correctly, enemies will be drawn to investigate the sound, giving you a window to either take them down silently or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious, though; directly hitting an enemy with a rock will immediately alert them and cause a commotion.
Rocks also serve another purpose: knocking down bird nests, which are plentiful across the game's map. These nests can yield valuable items like eggs, offering minor nourishment, or even dice badges if fortune favors you.
