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. Exiting the inventory, hold down the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (R key on PC).
A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torch flames extinguish over time; keep spares handy. While you can wield a one-handed weapon and a torch simultaneously, this isn't possible with two-handed weapons or shields.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility, carrying a torch at night in towns and 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 without a lit torch.
Obtaining Torches
Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or by looting fallen enemies and chests.
