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 the inventory. On consoles, hold down the d-pad to activate the torch. PC players should press the R key.

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

Note: Torch use is compatible with one-handed weapons only. You cannot wield a two-handed weapon or a shield simultaneously with a torch.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch at night within settlements is mandatory. Guards will apprehend you without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative in the absence of a torch.

Obtaining Torches

Torches are readily available from merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
