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, press and hold down on the d-pad (consoles) to activate it. PC players should press the R key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torch flames extinguish over time; keep spares handy. Note that you can only wield a torch with a one-handed weapon; two-handed weapons and shields are incompatible.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is mandatory in settlements and towns after nightfall. Guards will pursue and question you without one, demanding a bribe (Groschen) or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative in the absence of a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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