To effectively equip and use the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, start by opening your inventory. Select a pouch to equip, then choose the torch and equip it. After exiting the inventory, hold down on the d-pad to have Henry bring out the torch. For PC players, simply press the R key to equip it.

You'll recognize that the torch is equipped when you see the red shield icon next to it in your inventory. Keep in mind that torch flames will eventually extinguish, so it's wise to carry extra torches to ensure you're never left in the dark.

It's also worth noting that while you can wield a torch and a one-handed weapon simultaneously, this setup won't work with two-handed weapons or shields.

Why Do You Need a Torch?

The torch isn't just a tool for lighting up shadowy paths; it's essential for navigating settlements and towns at night. Without a lit torch, guards will quickly apprehend you, leading to an interrogation where you'll need to pay a fine in Groschen or face arrest. Additionally, locals may be less willing to engage with you in the dark without a torch, potentially affecting your interactions and quests.

How to Get Torches

Securing torches is straightforward; you can purchase them from general traders within towns or scavenge them from corpses and chests during your adventures.

And that's all the essential information you need to master using the torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more in-depth tips and tricks, including the best perks to prioritize and all available romance options, be sure to check out The Escapist.
