Equipping the Torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To equip your torch, access your inventory, equip a pouch, then select and equip the torch. Exiting the inventory, press and hold the down directional pad (or 'R' key on PC) to activate it. 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 alongside one-handed weapons; two-handed weapons or 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 anyone without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative without a lit torch.

Obtaining Torches

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