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 directional pad to activate the torch. PC players should press the 'R' key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory indicates it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares.

Note: You can equip a torch and a one-handed weapon simultaneously. However, using a two-handed weapon or a shield with a torch is not possible.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch at night in towns and settlements is mandatory. Guards will pursue and question you if seen without one, potentially leading to a fine or arrest. Locals may also be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.

Obtaining Torches

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