Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To utilize the torch, access your inventory, equip a pouch, then select and equip the torch. Exiting the inventory, press and hold down on the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (for Henry to hold it). PC players should press the 'R' key.
A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms successful equipping. Remember, torch flames extinguish over time, so carry spares.
Simultaneous weapon and torch use is possible, but only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible with torch use.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns at night. Guards will pursue and question those without, 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.
