How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

While a full-frontal assault is always an option in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a more subtle approach is necessary. Knowing how to incapacitate enemies without killing them can be incredibly useful. Here's how to knock out enemies and NPCs in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of unconscious bodies isn't always the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Sometimes, knocking out an enemy is the smarter move. Here's how:

1. Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and move stealthily.
2. Approach: Sneak up behind the NPC until the "Knock Out" prompt appears in the bottom right corner.
3. Knock Out: Press the indicated button to attempt the knockout.
4. Struggle Response: If a blue icon with swords appears, press R2 to ensure a successful knockout. If the NPC struggles (indicated by a shield icon), press L2 to restrain them.
5. Failure: If you fail both attempts, the NPC will likely alert others, leading to a fight.

Success depends on the NPC's strength relative to Henry's. Fortunately, certain perks can significantly improve your chances:

• Tight Grip: Increases knockout success rate.
• Sandman: Increases knockout success rate.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For a more lethal, silent approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar to knocking out an enemy: sneak up from behind, and the stealth kill prompt will appear if a dagger is equipped.
