"Mastering Enemy Knockouts in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2"

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, opting for a subtler approach can be a game-changer. Here's how you can knock out enemies and NPCs without leaving a trail of bodies, and how to execute stealth kills when necessary.

Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Instead of engaging in open combat, you might find it advantageous to knock out enemies and NPCs. Here's your step-by-step guide to doing so:

• Begin by crouching with the circle button to move silently.
• Sneak up behind your target. When you're close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner.
• Press the designated button to initiate the knock out. A blue icon with swords will appear on screen.
• Quickly press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry fails and the NPC begins to struggle, a shield icon will appear, prompting you to press L2 to prevent their escape and complete the knock out.
• If you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to a confrontation.

Remember, the success of knocking out an NPC depends on both the NPC's strength and Henry's own strength stat. To increase your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:

• Tight Grip: Enhances your ability to hold onto your target.
• Sandman: Boosts your chances of successfully knocking someone out.

With these perks, navigating the game stealthily becomes much easier.

How to Stealth Kill Enemies

For a more lethal approach, stealth killing is your go-to method. Here's how to do it:

• Equip a dagger, essential for this technique.
• Crouch and sneak up on an NPC from behind.
• A prompt will appear if you have the dagger equipped, allowing you to execute a stealth kill by pressing the designated button.

Mastering these techniques will give you a significant edge in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
