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 the down directional pad (D-pad) to activate the torch (on consoles). 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: Simultaneous torch and weapon use is possible, but only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible with torch use.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Failure to do so will result in pursuit and interrogation by guards, leading to a fine (Groschen) or arrest. Locals may also be less cooperative if you approach them without a lit torch.

Obtaining Torches

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