Master Stealth Tactics in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, not every encounter needs to end in bloodshed. Sometimes, a more subtle approach is needed, such as knocking out enemies and NPCs. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this stealthily.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Knocking out enemies can be a more discreet and often safer option. Here's how to do it effectively:

Start by crouching with the circle button and sneak up behind your target. As you get close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action. When you see a blue icon with swords on the screen, hit the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry doesn't succeed on the first attempt and the NPC begins to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Press L2 to prevent them from escaping and complete the knockout. If you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to a direct confrontation.

The success of this maneuver depends significantly on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. However, certain perks can increase your chances of knocking someone out:

• Tight Grip
• Sandman

Both of these perks will boost your likelihood of a successful knockout, making stealth operations smoother.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For those times when a lethal approach is necessary, you'll need a dagger for a stealth kill. The method is similar to knocking out: sneak up behind an NPC with your dagger equipped, and a prompt will appear to execute a stealth kill.
