How to Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

It’s essential to understand that you can only throw rocks while in stealth mode. To enter stealth, click the right stick on your controller or press C on your PC. Once you're in stealth, depending on your gaming platform, you'll need to press and hold the following button to prepare your rock throw:
