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, hold down the directional pad (d-pad) to activate the torch (R key on PC).
A red shield icon next to the torch in your inventory confirms it's equipped. Remember, torches have a limited burn time, so carry spares.
Note: Torch use is compatible only with one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons or shields cannot be used simultaneously with a torch.
Why Use a Torch?
Beyond improved visibility in the dark, carrying a torch is mandatory in towns and settlements after nightfall. Guards will pursue and question you without one, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Locals may also be less cooperative if you approach them unlit.
Obtaining Torches
Torches are readily available from general merchants in towns or can be looted from fallen enemies and chests.
