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, hold down the d-pad 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; keep spares handy.

Note: Torch use is compatible with one-handed weapons only. Two-handed weapons or shields cannot be wielded simultaneously with a torch.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Guards will pursue and question anyone 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.
