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, 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 that simultaneous use with a torch is restricted to one-handed weapons; two-handed weapons or shields are incompatible.

Why Use a Torch?

Beyond improved visibility in darkness, carrying a torch at night within settlements is mandatory. Failure to do so will result in pursuit and interrogation by guards, demanding a bribe or imprisonment. Furthermore, locals may be less cooperative in unlit areas if you're not carrying a torch.

Obtaining Torches

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