Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To equip your torch, access your inventory. Ensure you have a pouch equipped. Select the torch and equip it. Exiting the inventory, press and hold the down directional pad (or press 'R' on PC) to activate the torch.
A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time; keep spares on hand. Note that dual-wielding a torch is only possible with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields cannot be used simultaneously with a torch.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements after dark. Guards will apprehend those without, leading to fines or imprisonment. Furthermore, locals may 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.
