Equipping a torch is just one of the many quirks of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 that isn’t obviously communicated.
In the medieval era before electricity, street lights and phone torches, you had two options when it was dark at nighttime: go to sleep or walk around with your arms outstretched like a Scooby Doo villain trying not to bump into things.
But while the night will still be very dark whatever you do, you can illuminate your path slightly by using a flaming torch.
How to equip a torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To equip a torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, you need to equip it from your inventory then hold the down button on your D-pad or R on your keyboard to light and raise it. To put it away, hold down on the D-pad or R again.
You can hold a torch at the same time as fighting one-handed with a sword, should you get up to any nighttime shenanigans. Don’t worry though, any perks you’ve chosen which give you bonuses for fighting one-handed (ie. without a shield) still activate even if you’re holding a torch, so don’t feel like you have to fumble around in the dark if you’re a one-handed warrior.
Where to get a torch in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Torches are relatively easy to acquire since most characters are equipped with one.
The easiest place to get your hands on a torch is by looting a defeated enemy . Most bands of bandits will have at least one torchbearer between them, and since torches don’t degrade, you can make do with just one.
Alternatively, you can also pick up a torch from the general merchant on the west side of Troskowitz. Since they’re so common, they’re sold for cheap - just a Groschen or so.
Torches are just one of many essential items in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 that make your life much, much easier. We also have pages on where to find a dagger for stealth kills and where to find a shovel for digging , since they can be tough to locate!
