How to Knock Out Enemies in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sometimes a subtle approach is better than all-out combat. This guide explains how to incapacitate enemies without killing them.

Knocking Out Enemies

Leaving a trail of bodies isn't always ideal. Knocking out enemies offers a stealthier alternative. Here's how:

1. Crouch: Press the circle button to crouch and approach an NPC from behind.
2. Knockout Prompt: A "Knock Out" prompt will appear in the bottom right corner when you're close enough. Press the indicated button.
3. Timing is Key: A blue icon with swords will appear. Press R2 to execute the knockout.
4. Second Chance: If Henry fails, a shield icon appears. Press L2 to restrain the NPC and try again. Failure on both attempts will likely lead to a fight.

Success depends on Henry's strength compared to the NPC's. These perks improve your chances:

• Tight Grip: Increases knockout success rate.
• Sandman: Increases knockout success rate.

Stealth Kills

For a lethal stealth approach, equip a dagger. The process is similar to knocking out: sneak up from behind, and a stealth kill prompt will appear.
