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 d-pad (console) to activate it. PC players should press the R key.
A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares.
Note: Torch use is compatible with one-handed weapons only. Two-handed weapons or shields cannot be used simultaneously with a torch.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Guards will pursue and interrogate anyone seen without one, demanding a 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.
