Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To use your torch, access your inventory. Equip a pouch first, then select and equip the torch. Exiting the inventory, press and hold the d-pad (consoles) or press the R key (PC) to activate it.

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 you can only wield a torch with one-handed weapons; two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility, torches are mandatory in settlements and towns after dark. Lacking one invites unwanted attention from guards, leading to fines or arrest. Additionally, NPCs may be less cooperative in the absence of a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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