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. Exit the inventory. On consoles, hold down the directional pad to activate the torch. PC players press the 'R' key.

A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time; keep spares handy.

Note: Simultaneous weapon and torch use is possible, but only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible with the torch.

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 the light of a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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