Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To equip a torch, access your inventory. First, equip a pouch. Then, select the torch and equip it. Exiting the inventory, press and hold down on the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (consoles). 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; keep spares handy. Note that torch use is compatible with one-handed weapons only; two-handed weapons and 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 dark. Guards will pursue and question you if 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.
