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 your inventory. On consoles, press and hold the down directional button 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. You can equip a one-handed weapon alongside the torch, but not two-handed weapons or shields.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch at night within settlements is mandatory. Guards will pursue and interrogate you if seen without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative in the dark if you're unlit.
Obtaining Torches
The most reliable method is purchasing torches from general merchants in towns. Looting corpses and chests also provides a chance to acquire them.
