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. Exiting the inventory, press and hold the down directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (console). PC players should press the 'R' key.
A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms its equipped status. Remember, torch flames extinguish over time, so carrying spares is advisable.
Note: Simultaneous weapon and torch use is possible, but limited to one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible with torch usage.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in darkness, torches are mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Lacking a torch invites immediate pursuit and interrogation by guards, resulting in fines (Groschen) or imprisonment. Furthermore, locals may be less cooperative in unlit areas if you aren't carrying a torch.
Obtaining Torches
Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
