In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you don't always have to go in with guns blazing—sometimes a subtler approach is necessary. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to knock out enemies and NPCs, ensuring you maintain that element of stealth and strategy.
Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, leaving a trail of bodies isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes, knocking out an enemy and leaving them unconscious is the smarter play. Here's how you can do it effectively:
Start by pressing the circle button to crouch, then stealthily approach an NPC from behind. As you get close, watch for the "Knock Out" prompt to appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. When you see it, press the corresponding button to initiate the knock-out action. If a blue icon with swords appears, quickly press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry doesn't get it right on the first try and the NPC begins to struggle, a shield icon will appear. At this point, press L2 to prevent the NPC from escaping and complete the knock-out.
Be aware that the success of your knock-out attempt depends on both the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. To boost your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:
- Tight Grip: Increases your grip strength, making it harder for the NPC to escape.
- Sandman: Enhances your ability to knock out enemies, making your stealth efforts more effective.
These perks will significantly improve your chances of knocking someone out, making your stealth missions much smoother.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies
For those moments when a more lethal approach is required, stealth killing is your go-to method. You'll need a dagger for this. The approach mirrors that of knocking out: sneak up on an NPC from behind. If you have the dagger equipped, a prompt will appear, allowing you to execute a stealth kill.
