Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks

Fortune favors the sneaky in this case. The most crucial tip is that rocks are unlimited; you never need to collect missed throws, so use them freely.

Henry throws small pebbles, which have a limited noise radius. Ensure your target is close to where the rock lands for the best effect. Be aware that hitting objects like cups or plates creates a louder, sharper sound.

A successful distraction will lure enemies to the spot, where they'll voice their confusion. You can then choose to eliminate them quietly or slip away. Be cautious: hitting an enemy directly with a rock will immediately alert everyone nearby.

Rocks are also handy for knocking down bird nests, which are scattered throughout the world. These nests often contain useful rewards like eggs for a bit of nourishment or, if you're lucky, dice for gambling.

That covers everything you need to know about throwing rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more guidance on your journey, The Escapist has guides on topics like acquiring the best horse or selling stolen goods, should you continue down a rogue's path.
