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. Exit the inventory. On consoles, press and hold the down directional button to activate the torch. PC players should press the "R" key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torch flames extinguish over time, so carry spares.

Note: Simultaneous weapon and torch use is possible, but only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible with the 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 you if seen without one, demanding a Groschen bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative in the dark without a lit torch.

Obtaining Torches

Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
