Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To use a torch, first equip a pouch from your inventory. Then, select the torch and equip it as well. Exiting the inventory, press and hold the down directional button (d-pad) to activate the torch (R key on PC).

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time; keep spares handy.

Note: You can equip a torch and a one-handed weapon simultaneously, but not with two-handed weapons or shields.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Guards will apprehend you without one, leading to fines or imprisonment. Locals might also be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.

Obtaining Torches

Torches are readily available from merchants in towns or by looting fallen enemies and chests.
