Initiating Stealth and Throwing Rocks

Remember, rock throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Enter stealth mode by pressing the right stick (controllers) or the C key (PC). Once in stealth, use the following to throw a rock:

  • PlayStation: Hold R1
  • Xbox: Hold RB
  • PC: Hold G

A crosshair appears, indicating the rock's trajectory. Release the button to launch the projectile.

Advanced Rock Throwing Techniques

Here are some pro tips to maximize your rock-throwing effectiveness:

  • Unlimited Ammo: Don't worry about running out of rocks; your supply is virtually endless.
  • Noise Radius: The sound of a thrown pebble has a limited range. Ensure your target is within close proximity for optimal distraction. Hitting objects like cups or plates, however, creates a louder disturbance.
  • Distraction and Opportunity: Successfully thrown rocks will cause enemies to investigate, providing a window for stealth attacks or a strategic retreat. Be cautious though; a direct hit on an enemy will immediately alert them.
  • Bird Nests: Locate and target bird nests scattered throughout the game world for potential rewards like eggs (a small food source) or even valuable dice badges.

This covers the essentials of rock throwing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The Escapist offers additional guides on topics like acquiring the best horse or safely selling stolen goods, should your adventures lead you down a less-than-honorable path.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
