To equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, start by opening your inventory and equipping a pouch. Next, select the torch and equip it. Once you exit the inventory, hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring out the torch. If you're on PC, simply press the R key to equip it.

You'll know the torch is equipped when you see a red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Keep in mind that the torch's flame will eventually extinguish, so it's wise to carry spare torches for continuous use.

While you can equip a one-handed weapon alongside the torch, using two-handed weapons or a shield with it isn't possible. This limitation is crucial to remember during nighttime explorations or combat scenarios.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

Beyond its obvious use in illuminating dark areas, carrying a torch is crucial for staying out of trouble. It's illegal to roam settlements and towns at night without one. If caught without a torch, guards will pursue and interrogate you, forcing you to either pay a fine in Groschen or face arrest.

Moreover, locals might be less willing to interact with you in the dark if you're not carrying a torch, making it a social necessity as well.

How to Get Torches

Acquiring torches is straightforward; you can purchase them from general traders in towns or loot them from corpses and chests. Ensuring you have a steady supply will keep you safe and compliant with local laws.

And that’s everything you need to know about using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including the best perks to unlock first and all available romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
